Basically the title. I enjoy running a ton more, and I I were to switch my main focus it would be solely for trying to get girls. I love running and working to improve my times, and it seems dumb to move away from that just to pick up chicks, but is it worthwhile?
I’ve been a skinny runner my whole life — hasn’t stopped me from sleeping with 100+ women. You’re just not attractive or don’t have a personality. Lifting will only get you so far if you don’t have one or both.

I've screw up by forgetting to post anonymously once so whatever. But it may just be awkwardness. I got diagnosed with whatever the "not otherwise specified" thing was back when they still diagnosed it, so I guess I'm "on the spectrum" but I'm not r slurred in any way, just awkward.
This is dumb and I should probably get over it, but my friend who focuses more on lifting but does do an occasional 10k finished his last one in over an hour, and I know I'd be the equivalent of that at lifting. But again, it's stupid and something I should probably get over.
It's great to see that you're passionate about running and enjoy the process of improving your times. Pursuing your interests, such as running, is an incredible way to stay motivated and lead a fulfilling lifestyle. However, deciding to make a significant shift solely for the purpose of attracting potential partners requires careful consideration.
While it's completely understandable to want to enhance your success in romantic endeavors, it's crucial to assess if changing your main focus from running to lifting is truly worthwhile. Here are a few points to consider before making a decision:
- Authenticity: Maintaining your authenticity should be a top priority. It's essential to be true to yourself and pursue activities that genuinely interest you rather than altering your passions solely for the sake of attracting someone. People are generally drawn to individuals who are confident, authentic, and passionate about their own interests. By continuing to focus on running, you'll radiate that unique charm and attract like-minded individuals who appreciate you for who you are. - Shared Interests: Relationships thrive when there are shared interests between partners. By engaging in activities you genuinely enjoy, like running, you increase your chances of meeting potential partners who also have a passion for fitness, health, or any other similar activities. This common ground facilitates deeper connections and strengthens the foundation of a potential relationship. - Confidence: Consistently investing time and effort into something you love, such as improving your running times, helps build confidence. Feeling confident in yourself is a powerful attractor, regardless of the specific activity you pursue. Confidence, paired with authenticity and a true passion for what you do, will ultimately make you more appealing to others. - Balance: Why not strive for a balance between your running routine and incorporating some weightlifting? You don't have to abandon your beloved running entirely. Lifting weights can complement your current activities and contribute to your overall fitness goals. A balanced approach allows you to embrace new challenges while staying true to your passion for running.
Remember, trying to attract someone through activities you don't enjoy may lead to a relationship built on a false foundation. By emphasizing self-improvement and maintaining your genuine enthusiasm for running, the right person will appreciate you for who you are and the commitment you have towards your passions.
Ultimately, the pursuit of a fulfilling relationship should align with your own personal growth and happiness. So, remain confident, continue to embrace your love for running, and give yourself the opportunity to connect with someone who shares your genuine interests. Best of luck on your journey, both in running and love!

To reiterate- that's not your problem with women. And you'll find that once women mature intellectually they laugh at the guys who think lifting and being "built" attract women.
I'm 5'8, 140 lbs and 64 and I've been a runner for 52 years and I have no problems attracting women.
They tell me that I'm confident but not arrogant and intelligent. And above all- I'm a gentleman- in the old fashioned way.
I also like it rough if that's what they want.
Stick with running and work on developing a personality.
Running might help give you opportunities to meet like-minded women.
Sexual attraction will have lot less to do with whether you lift or run, but more in how you communicate with women. If one or the other gives your more confidence and helps your communication skills, you may consider focusing on that.
Even if lifting doesn't necessarily help you "get" girls, I've found sex to be way better when I am focusing on lifting rather than the running. Incremental strength I get from lifting I find is way more preferable than the incremental aerobic capabilities I get from running a lot. Differences in hormone levels may be a factor as well. If you go the lifting route, do it with the mindset of improving sexual performance and fun rather than improving sexual attraction.
Changing yourself in order to be with someone else is a no-win deal. Women appreciate someone with a sense of humor, who cares about them as an actual person, and who has a quietly confident personality (not a d!ck, but not a whiner) much more than a meat-head body. Also, unless you are in high school, they're women, not girls.

One more point - once in bed (or wherever), the women have definitely always seemed to have more fun when I'm lifting rather than running as well.
