Hi everyone. 18 years old from Britain. Been reading forum for a while but haven't logged into account For a year.
Since last Jan I began lifting routine 2-3x per week and have increase from 157lbs at 12% to 184lbs at 16-17%. I'm around 6'0. So some fat gain but otherwise good progress. Gone from 38 inch chest to 42. Could have made more if I'd had more knowledge at start.
Anyway my main goal is to get a girlfriend, which is my main motive behind joining the forum to learn from those more experienced than myself. I talk to a lot of girls and a lot talk to me but I struggle to escalate further. I don't know many girls outside school so maybe it's just a lack of opportunity. Maybe how I look is a stumbling block but I don't have that high standards, I'd probably go out with 65% of girls my age. I've attached a photo, poor quality selfie off my iPad but might not be a bad thing as I want a more critical perspective. idk if facial hair/losing fat would help me? Had more definition at slightly less body fat but felt because I have a longish face It looked a bit gaunt.
In last year of school now. Going to university (college) hopefully next year. Idk if to stay close to home where I'd save more money or move down south where perhaps more ethnic minorities and my accent would make me relatively speaking, more attractive. Hoping to become a lawyer but Idk if I'm bright enough (around 95th percentile) other option would be to do a history/politics/literature degree given these are the subjects I've specialised in at post-16 level. Or just get a job.
Thanks everyone.
