You see, there exists a specific set of measurements and ratios that can calculate what the perfectly proportioned male physique is. Ancient master sculptors such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo had long figured out these proportions, but over time, the concept just faded away. The ideal male body measurement is superbly displayed in Michelangelo's King David sculpture (left).

There are only three measurements you need to know to determine your ideal physical proportions and they are your height, shoulders and waist. Many of the research done on the human physique, classic art sculptures and the psychology of human attraction indicated to us that there is a specific body shape and size that people will find the most attractive and pleasing to look at.

It is psycholigically known that men who are close to this ideal body size and shape are generally treated more favorably in any societies. They get bigger salaries, bonuses, more business deals and of course, more pretty girls. Given the physical and social benefits of having a perfectly well proportioned male body, you should know what is your specific ideal perfect body size and shape and how to get it, right?

Everybody will have an ideal waist measurement and ideal shoulder measurement that correspond to their height that equal your perfect body proportions. This is sometimes referred to as The Golden Ratio. Scientific research has confirmed that women will find a man most attractive when his body proportions approach these ideal measurements. Unfortunately, most men have no inkling what these body measurements are and how to get them.

Do you want to know? Well,firstly you need to know what your measurements are right now compared to what your perfect ideal body shape is going to be. Once you know where to start, you can determine how to go about getting to where you want to be.

The health and fitness industry has always been striving for the perfectly proportioned look. However, nobody has managed to pin down what this "look" is all about, how to measure it, and how to get it until John Barban, author of The Adonis Index Workout designed a plan on bringing you to your specific ideally perfect body shape starting with your present male body measurements.

Forget about doing weights to get bigger muscles or long boring cardio exercises to lose weight and fat. The perfect male body should be carved out with specific exercises and the workout routine is different for everyone because the starting point of everybody is different.

This is about a specific workout routine to build your body into its most appealing perfect shape. The idea is to get bigger muscles only at the right places and lose inches where you need lose them so that you can get a proportionately shaped perfect male physique. This is the male body shape that women find attractive and men respect.

So find out what are your measurements now and then work towards getting the appealing perfect male body that everyone desires now. ]]> http://articlesurvey.com/society/dating/do-you-need-money-and-good-looks-to-attract-girls.html http://articlesurvey.com/society/dating/do-you-need-money-and-good-looks-to-attract-girls.html Wed, 12 May 2010 00:00:00 -0400
However, the good news is that guys with these positive assets can only go so far because if you know and master the correct seduction skills, even if you are not half as handsome or as wealthy, you can still make girls swoon over you and leave those guys behind, coming out as a clear winner as a chick magnet.

Why is this so? It is because there are many male attributes that most women admire and adore more than just good looks and money. The problem is that money and good looks are usually the root of shyness and lack of confidence in most men. They think that they are not wealthy or good looking enough to date beautiful women. Popular media seems to support this misconceived notion and it is the reason why so many men are misled into thinking that unless you have Tom Cruise's handsome features or Bill Gates' fortune, then supermodels and beautiful movie stars are out of their dating game.

Guys, now simply take a step back and have a good look at the people around you and you will see gorgeous women dating men who are both good looking and not so handsome ones, men who drive BMWs and Mercedes and the average guys who can't even afford a car who take public transportation. So what does that tells you? What makes these men so successful with gorgeous women regardless of their wealth and looks?

Well, like I said earlier, you stand as good a chance or even better than guys who have a little bit of edge because of their wealth and good looks. In this article, I will show you 3 techniques amongst many that all women find desirable and irresistible in men. Of course, if that wealthy and good looking chap have these techniques and display them to women, then you will have a very formidable opponent. Then again, how many of these wealthy and handsome guys bother to learn the techniques when they already think they are on top of the dating game?

a) Establishing Confident Eye Contact - Holding her gaze in a confident eye contact is a sure sign of self confidence being flamboyantly displayed. It is also a way to communicate attitude, desire and emotion without saying a word. This is a very effective tool for flattering, teasing, flirting, showing your alpha male dominance, establishing your sincerity and credibility with women.

Looking at a girl from a distance intently and not looking away even when she sees you can be very sexy and thrilling to her. It tells her that you desire her and that you are so confident that you will prevail. Keeping a steady gaze during a conversation tells her that you are interested in what she is saying and that you are listening to her. Because of this, you will be perceived by her to be honest and sincere.

The breaking of eye contact if executed in perfect timing during a conversation can be a sign of confidence and dominance too. It tells the woman that you are not afraid of offending her and in fact, she should be trying even harder to impress you so that you can reward her again with your attention(holding eye contact).

Confidence - If there is anything a woman admires more in a man is his self confidence. Confidence have a very positive effect on your adventures with women. You see, it is not the money or the good looks that make rich and handsome guys attractive to women but their confidence in themselves. Wouldn't you be more confident if you are flushed with cash and is a gorgeous guy?

You need to believe in your ability to attract beautiful drop dead gorgeous women. So do relax and enjoy yourself when you are in the company of beautifully attractive women and do not be cowed by their presence. Feel as if the women need your acknowledgement and approval more than you need theirs. Confidence is a very potent weapon that guys can use in attracting girls. This begs the question of how do you show confidence when you are not? Simple, just like anything else, fake it until it is real

Social Skills - Your social skills is a way of establishing dominance to let her see that you are dominant in most of your other social relationships. If she sees that you are comfortable, well-liked and even admired by your peers, then she is more likely to be attracted to you. This is why in the early stages of getting to know a woman, you must not hang out with her the entire time because this will make it seem as if you are clingy and desperate for her affection which is a big turn off to women. That is what wussies(losers)do.

Now, when you have mastered the above techniques, you can be sure most of the time that when it comes to the game of attracting gorgeous women, the guys who have the money and good looks may not be your match after all. ]]> http://articlesurvey.com/recreation/entertainment/why-do-people-want-to-learn-how-to-play-piano.html http://articlesurvey.com/recreation/entertainment/why-do-people-want-to-learn-how-to-play-piano.html Sat, 08 May 2010 00:00:00 -0400
Now, you are probably wondering why choose to play the piano and not any other instruments. My reply is very simple. I am biased and because I can play the piano better than other musical instruments. So if you are thinking of learning how to play the piano, here are some reasons to help you to make your choice.

As discussed earlier, being proficient in playing a musical instrument is a very satisfying experience and that is why everyone should learn how to play at least one instrument and make fabulous music.

Being a proficient piano player makes you feel and look elegantly sophisticated. Somehow, a pianist just exudes some kind of mystical charm more than other musicians. Perhaps I am biased, but what do you think?

Piano playing keeps your brain active and your brain is doing mental exercises on all your ten fingers when you consistently throw it the musical language to interpret. There are studies which show that pianists are more mathematically inclined too.

Also, learning how to play the piano can kill any boredom you may have. If you do not have anything to do, go do some ivory tickling and serenade to yourself. You can experiment playing the songs in different styles and different interpretations or simply just start learning new songs.

Perhaps you can also think about a family gathering or entertaining your friends when they drop by for a visit with all of you having fun and developing stronger bonding with you directing sing along sessions. That would be fun wouldn't it?

It is also a fact that many people will actually respect you more and even thinking that you are very talented. Most people actually admire someone who can play the piano well and I have often overheard people saying that I play the piano like a maestro and this could be you.

A good pianist never quit learning. Since there is absolutely no way to memorize every song and if you can play by ear, you are learning new tunes every time from the TV, radio or from whatever medium without you even being aware of it until someone ask you whether play a certain song and although you have never learnt that song before, the tune just pops into your head with your fingers running beautifully over the piano keys.

I supposed deep down in most people, they wished that they are able to play the piano. If not, then why are you reading this article? Oh, you are already an accomplished pianists?

Have you ever read other people's New Year's Resolutions? No? Perhaps you may not be as busybody as me. Would you believe me if I tell you that one of the most common New Year Resolution is that people resolving to take up piano lessons?

Learning to play the piano proficiently is also a fantastic ego booster. There is no better feeling and satisfaction like playing a difficult song effortlessly and flawlessly. It is like being in heaven already. If you are thinking of picking up a musical instrument, why not choose to learn how to play the piano? ]]> http://articlesurvey.com/society/dating/how-to-meet-and-date-more-girls.html http://articlesurvey.com/society/dating/how-to-meet-and-date-more-girls.html Sat, 08 May 2010 00:00:00 -0400
So start going out more often as it is quite impossible to have any kind of a dating life if you stay at home most of the time crunching on some snacks in front of your TV screen. Look, your potential girlfriend is not going to walk out from your TV google box no matter how often and how hard you stare at it.

So, can you set aside at least one or two days per week to go to places where women hang out such as the library, book stores, shopping malls and even dance clubs? That isn't too much to ask for, is it?

Next, you can learn a hobby which can give you the environment to meet more women. Something which you have an interest in as well as a hobby that many women will be interested in such as learning dancing, cooking classes, yoga lessons or even join your local gym to build a more attractively fit body.

My personal preference will be taking dancing lessons because there will be some touching involved and many other interactions with the girls such as discussing the dance moves. If you can find a hobby class where women outnumber men, then your chances of successfully meeting and dating the girls with skyrocket phenomenally.

Of course, before you go out and hit on the girls, you will have to improve on your look. Even if you are already good looking chap, why not make it better and be an even more handsome man? There are always something to improve on your appearance if you want to impress women. How about getting a new haircut to look neater, some new clothes to be more fashionable or an exercise regimen to look more handsome and attractive?

Do you know you can meet and make friends with women anytime of the day? This is because since you will leaving your house everyday, why don't you start having casual conversations with any women while you are buying groceries, going for a walk in the park or strolling in your local shopping mall?

Your conversations don't have to be long and well thought out. Just say a few words of greetings to see how things can proceed from there. Just make it a point to say "hi" to any women you meet in the course of the day and if she sends out a friendly response, you can then react and take it to another level with her.

Another good way of meeting and dating women is through dating sites or social networking sites such as facebook. Set up a good detailed profile of yourself and you do need a good picture of yourself to have any response. Then start sending messages out to women by asking them a question about themselves in a friendly way and wants to know them better. The questions should be something you noticed about her in her profile, so there can be a higher chance for the girls you have contacted to respond to your messages.

You should enjoy meeting women and it should be fun and you should not feel pressurized. If you feel pressured and is nervous, the girls will know and that is not cool!

So what are you waiting for. Logout of your computer right now and start going out to attract, meet and date beautiful girls! ]]> http://articlesurvey.com/recreation/sports/mixed-martial-arts-mma-origin-and-history.html http://articlesurvey.com/recreation/sports/mixed-martial-arts-mma-origin-and-history.html Sat, 08 May 2010 00:00:00 -0400
The origin and history of MMA is thought to have begun in Europe, Japan and China from the early 1900s. Modern MMA competition emerged in the early 1990s with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), although professional MMA competitions had been held in Japan since 1989.

Although mixed martial arts competitions originated with the intention of searching for the most effective martial art form as competitors were pitted against each other with minimum safety rules, but due to the many serious injuries that had occurred, many additional rules for safety reasons has since been introduced. Following the changes, MMA has seen increased popularity with pay per view reach rivaling even other combat sport such as professional boxing and wrestling.

Mixed style fighting contests such as boxing vs wrestling or kung fu vs karate were popular entertainment throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s. These contests were known as "merikan" in Japan which literally means "American Fighting". In the late 1960s to early 1970s the concept of combining the elements of several form of martial arts was popularized by the late Bruce Lee through his fighting philosophy of Jeet Kune Do.

Bruce Lee believed that the best fighter is not a boxer, karate or tae kung fu practitioner, but someone who can adapt to any fighting style. Thus in 2004, UFC President Dana White called Bruce Lee the "father of mixed martial arts."

In 1993, MMA as a sport gained world wide attention when a Brazilian jiu jitsu fighter called Royce Gracie won the first Ultimate Fighting Championship tournament by defeating three opponents under five minutes. In May 1999, The International Sport Combat Federation (ISCF) was formed as the world's first "MMA" sanctioning body and this brings in a new era of MMA as a truly recognized sport worldwide.

In December 2006, MMA reached a new peak in popularity when a rematch between then UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell and former champion Tito Ortiz resulted in pay per view sales of some of the biggest boxing events of all time.

The early years of the sport saw a wide variety of fighting styles ranging from Karate to Muay Thai Kickboxing, but as the sport evolves, the styles that were proven ineffective met their natural demise while the effective ones such as the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) stood tall amongst others.

Victory in the ring is usually either by the judges' decision after an allotted amount of time is up, stoppage by the referee or the fight doctor, a submission by a fighter's cornerman throwing in the towel, or by a knockout. Knockout or KO as it is known is when a fighter becomes unconscious and his opponent is declared the winner.

In a submission, a fighter may declare defeat by tapping on the opponent's body, the mat, a verbal announcement or a technical knockout (KTO). The ref may stop a match in if the fighter becomes dominant to the point where the opponent cannot intelligently defend himself and is taking a lot of punishment or when a fighter appears to be unconscious from a submission hold or due to a strike or when a fighter appears to have a serious injuries such as a bad cut or a broken bone.

The referee may also call for a doctor stoppage if a fighter's ability to continue in the match is in question as a result of injuries sustained during the fight such as a large cut. The ring doctor will inspect the fighter and stop the match if the fighter is deemed unable to continue the bout safely thus rendering his opponent the victory. However, if the match is stopped as a result of an injury from illegal actions by the opponent, either a disqualification or no contest will be called for instead.

A combatant's corner man may announce defeat on behalf of the fighter by throwing in the towel when the match in progress or in between rounds. In the case of the match going its full distance in time, then the outcome of the match is determined by a panel of three judges.

In the case of a disqualification, a "warning" will first be given when a combatant commits a foul or illegal action or does not follow the referee's orders. A fighter earning 3 warnings get an immediate disqualification. If a fighter is injured and unable to continue the match due to a deliberate illegal technique, his opponent will be disqualified. In the event that both fighters commit a violation of the rules, or when a fighter is unable to continue due to an injury from an accidental illegal technique, the match will be declared a "no contest".

At the moment, mixed martial arts as a sport is gaining fast popularity worldwide and MMA schools are poping up all over the world. It looks as if that this form of martial art sport will be here to stay for a long long time. ]]> http://articlesurvey.com/computers-and-technology/the-risk-of-not-using-network-support.html http://articlesurvey.com/computers-and-technology/the-risk-of-not-using-network-support.html Mon, 26 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0400
In any given work place these days you will find that there are a few common things aside from desks and chairs. There is an intricate network, routers, hubs, and of course computers. There was a time when a business could do without these things, especially at the beginning of the computer age, but now things have changed rather drastically. A business simply cannot operate without a network, and with that in mind, it will of course need network support.

Network support can be obtained in many different ways. For one thing you could hire someone to help take care of the network. Even if you are well versed in computer networking, you probably should not be the one to take care of it. Business networks can be highly complex and if you spend all of your time working on that, then you will not be able to take care of the finer points of your business, most notably improving your bottom line and increasing profits.

You could of course just leave the network alone and pray it works, but even in a UNIX network, there is almost certainly going to be some form of issue or gremlin at some point down the line. Is this really something that you want to leave to chance? Most likely you won't, so you need to search for help. Help comes in the form of network support, and this is a service that is offered by many different companies.

A quick internet search will without a doubt pull up several dozen possibilities and you need to look through each and every one of them. See what types of features and services they offer, then narrow it down to the ones you like the most. Once you have done this, then it is time to interview them. Talk to them, find out who they are, and most importantly find out what they are capable of.

Once again you could try doing this yourself, but if you aren't an expert or simply don't have time, then you could find your entire network falling apart around you, which shouldn't be your goal in any case. When your network fails, your business is going to lose money, and depending on how long your network is down, you could find yourself going out of business. These are the risks you take when you fail to find professional network support, and that being the case it's just not something that you want to risk. So start searching for the right network support team to hire and keep your network running 100% of the time. Your business needs it, and so do you. ]]> http://articlesurvey.com/recreation/sports/how-playing-golf-can-help-you-lose-weight.html http://articlesurvey.com/recreation/sports/how-playing-golf-can-help-you-lose-weight.html Mon, 26 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0400
Of course we already knew that playing golf requires muscle and mind coordination, focus and concentration, and the physical effort to play the game and that, naturally burn tons of calories. So who needs a sports scientist to tell us something that we already knew?

Then again, it sure feels good to have an expert to verify what we had already knew, right? This is especially so when the research revealed several interesting and very specific conclusions about the value of golf as an exercise and the effects of different kinds of efforts on the golfer's score.

According to the Associated Press article about the study's findings, Dr Neil Wolkodoff recruited eight male amateur golfers with ages ranging from 26 to 61 and handicaps ranging from 2 to 17 for the experiment. The study subjects were fitted with various sensors and measuring equipment and then each played the front nine of a hilly Denver golf course several times over the duration of the study period.

During these 9-hole games, the study subjects varied their means of transportation such as walking and riding in a cart and also their means of carrying the golf bag whether on a golf cart or on their shoulders or on a push cart or on the caddie's shoulders. The results of calories burnt(for nine holes) are as follows:

* Walking = 721

* Using push cart = 718

* Using caddie = 613

* Riding in a cart = 411

Distance walked while not riding in cart is 2.5 miles and riding in cart is half a mile.

This study came to the conclusion that golfers who walk 36 holes a week will burn around a whopping 2,900 calories per week. This is above the normal threshold of about 2,500 calories since many studies have shown that people who burn 2,500 calories a week can improve their overall health by lowering their risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancers. For those who want lose weight, you now know for sure that playing golf can help you to lose weight. This is indeed wonderful news for golf enthusiasts all over the world!

The study also looked at the effects on golf scores of different methods of transporting the player's golf bag and the findings were just as interesting. They found out that the average scores of using a push cart is 40, using a caddie is 42, riding is 43 and carrying own bag is 45. Many avid golfers knew that walking the golf course is not only better for health but also better for your score. This is "thinking" when walking the golf course as the golfers see more as he/she visually takes in what lie ahead of them on the hole, has time to consider various options and to think about club and shot selection. This study certainly scientifically verified it.

Walking the golf course with a push cart or with a caddie both produced lower average scores than riding in a cart. Walking while carrying one's own bag gave the highest average scores. This probably has something to do with the extra physical exertion when carrying one's own bag of clubs. So it causes the golfer to tire more quickly and also increase instances of lactic acid build up in the muscles. When lactic acid increases, fine motor skills decrease and fine motor skills are what is required for the precise motions of the golf swing.

So to critics who argue that golf as a form of exercise for losing weight is inferior to many other sports can now be debunked scientifically. Yes, playing golf can make you burn a lot of calories and in the long run, lose weight successfully. That is, you don't go for a food binge and alcohol party after winning your game of golf. ]]> http://articlesurvey.com/self-help/advice/why-women-are-attracted-to-muscular-men.html http://articlesurvey.com/self-help/advice/why-women-are-attracted-to-muscular-men.html Fri, 23 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0400
No, of course I am not talking about those bulky professional bodybuilders or heavyweight wrestlers, but the lean and fit muscular types like male competitive swimmers or fitness models. Those research further pointed out that not only do these muscular men attract women more easily, they even have more sex than the averagely built men.

You see, social psychology research repeatedly showed that women will choose more muscular men for short term sexual partners and jump into bed with them sooner without a prolonged dating phase. They will also make love with these men without developing an emotional attraction to them first.

According to an UCLA research published in the August issue of the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, women don't just like men with more muscles, they even go after them. Men who are more muscular than average are also much more likely to have short term affairs and multiple sex partners than their thinner or overweight peers. In another study published in 2007, Frederick researchers discovered that the men who were rated more muscular with less body fat were also the same guys who had more sexual partners.

All these studies now goes to prove that the way you look and the condition of your body do play a pretty big role in attracting the girls despite what many "pick up artiste gurus" say to the contrary! These research are solid proof that the way your body looks definitely makes a big difference in the amount of sex you will enjoy and the amount of different women you can make love with. I

In other words, guys with the right "type" of muscularity can snuggle in bed with more women and more often. The less physically attractive guys are rarely chosen by women for short term sexual relationships. That goes to say that if you have more muscles, you will have more flings because you will be oozing with sex appeal!

The research by Frederick and his team of researchers showed that guys with the right muscular build get more girls, they have more one night stands and they even have sex with more women that are currently in relationships with other guys. So if you have the right look, even married, engaged, or women who are "attached" will still want a piece of you, and they are perfectly alright with 'cheating' on their significant half to have a taste of what you've got to offer although this is not something I would encourage. This is only for your information and not asking you to get under the skirts of women frivolously.

However, the sexual attraction effect is all dependent upon having the right type of muscular body since the research illustrated that an overly bulky bodybuilder is not as attractive as a male body with properly proportioned muscles. Luckily, getting the proper proportions is simply a matter of applying the right workout program. So start getting more muscles on your body start oozing with masculine sex appeal. ]]> http://articlesurvey.com/recreation/entertainment/how-to-get-musical-perfect-pitch.html http://articlesurvey.com/recreation/entertainment/how-to-get-musical-perfect-pitch.html Mon, 19 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0400
Having a perfect absolute pure pitch is a skill all musicians and singers would love to develop except that there are only about 10% of music students having this amazing musical identification ability. However, the percentages gets better and higher with better quality professional musicians and singers.

For example, a typical symphony orchestra will have 20-40% of its musicians with absolutely perfect pure pitch and it is estimated that about half of today's most popular recording artists and singers have this unique ability with the number rising up to 87% for top concert performers.

From these statistics, you can infer that perfomers with pure pitch are definitely more successful with their career as a musician or singer. Is it any wonder why all musicians and singers strive to attain the absolute pitch? The answer is pretty obvious, isn't it?

In other words, if you have the ear for pure pitch, your chances of being wildly successful as a singer or a musician is phenomenally higher and could be your ticket to superstardom. This is why most career minded singers and musicians take perfect pitch ear training lessons to catapult their career to world class level. So if you are interested in music as a career, then you should train to develop this abililty.

It is indeed a myth and contrary to popular belief that having the perfect pitch is a born talent. Yes, some may be born with this skill naturally, but you can be trained to develop perfect pitch. This skill can be learnt and aquired. That means that anyone who wants to can develop pure absolute pitch through good ear training and practise.

Some of the more famous musicians, composers and singers with perfect pitch, just to name a few, are Frank Sinatra, Leonard Bernstein, Barbra Streisand, Julie Andrews, Stevie Wonder, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Jascha Heifetz, Paul Shaffer and Yanni.

Many musicians and composers, such as Danielle LaRocco, cited the importance of perfect pitch as an excellent tool for arranging music. While most people will have to sit by the piano and play a key in order to arrange a piece of music, those with perfect pitch ears can simply arrange it directly on a piece of paper without reference to any musical instruments. That means that you can also write and arrange music anytime anywhere!

So how can you acquire relative absolute pitch? While some people have the innate ability to instantly recognize musical notes and tones, others develop perfect pitch ear training by creating a mental template of notes in their heads as they are exposed to music, usually at a very young age. Many more are trained with hearing by ear to acquire this amazing skill.

So if you want to take your musical career to another level, then isn't it about time you learn how to develop the perfect pitch? ]]> http://articlesurvey.com/health/wellness-fitness-and-diet/how-to-gain-weight-for-thin-skinny-girls.html http://articlesurvey.com/health/wellness-fitness-and-diet/how-to-gain-weight-for-thin-skinny-girls.html Sat, 17 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0400
In this world that is obsessed with losing weight, as it seems that all the advertisements, fitness programs, diets regimens are all targeting at people who want to lose weight. This onslaught barrage of weight loss programs drown out the concerns of underweight women like you trying your darndest best to put on weight. That is certainly very frustrating for you, isn't it?

To compound matters, your search for weight programs in the internet kept showing up muscle building systems and muscle weight gaining programs for men. Why are skinny girls like you being ignored?

Well ladies, you aren't being ignored. It is just that your mind refuses to register certain truths those programs are telling you. Before you get insulted and clawed me up, please be patient and read on.

You see, things aren't so bleak after all. Because the good news is that there isn't much difference for gaining weight between men and women. Yes, you've read that correctly. Therefore those weight gain programs for men work pretty well for girls too because the principles that a naturally thin woman must adopt if she wishes to quickly put on healthy weight are the same principles that worked for the boys!

Now, here are some of your mental blocks I spoke about earlier. Most women, and I believe that including you, have a myriad of mental stumbling blocks regarding weight gain techniques. Such as you probably do not want to consume too much calories in case you become fat in the wrong places or you certainly do not want to start weight training because you are terrified of getting big muscles like those of bodybuilders! Am I right to say that?

Listen ladies, with due respect, in order to gain healthy weight effectively and quickly, you will have to remove those mental blocks now! Your fears are irrational and are completely unfounded!

You see, most women have the mistaken impression that training with weights will make them look muscular and thus compromising their feminine beauty. This I can verify because a large number of the enquiries that I receive from females asking for putting on weight advice will invariably qualify their requests with statements like "I don't want to look like a man' or "I don't want to look like a bodybuilder"

Now get this right once and for all! Women simply don't naturally possess enough of the male hormone, testosterone, that will allow them to become huge muscular hunks! No amount of weight training is going to change that fact. Even most men are not naturally predisposed to be a bodybuilder, what more of a woman?

Yes, I know what you are thinking right now. You are asking what about pictures of female bodybuilders you have seen, right? The sad thing is that those photos are the main culprits that led to your irrational fear of weight training. You see, those women bodybuilders that you see got where they are because of very intensive and special training with the consumption of tons of supplements to get those muscle mass up with plenty of professional help.

As a matter of fact, many female bodybuilders with extremely huge muscles and who exhibit masculine characteristics didn't get that way through natural training. Instead, they use dangerous steroids to get them so huge! So let that sink in!

Furthermore, they didn't get that way overnight. You just don't simply wake up one morning and become a muscular woman bodybuilder right? You must understand that it has taken them many years of dedicated intensive training to get where they are and you certainly aren't going to do that, don't you?

Even if so, if you feel like you are becoming a tad too big or your blessed boyfriend is hiding behind you at the first sign of trouble, you can simply stop training. After all, when that happens, then your objective at gaining weight would have been happily achieved, right?
