I used to be a runner, but I quit running 2 years ago and started lifting weights. One of the best decisions of my life. Trust me, the grass is greener on the other side.
Running makes you emaciated and lowers testosterone. After lifting weights you will notice that women will be more attracted to you. You will be able to get the chicks you want. Plus you will be stronger, healthier and more happy.
That’s my logic when I do anything, What amount of “chicks” will this get me? Do I want basmati rice or jasmine rice, well which one gets me more chicks?
Lifting weights is much better for attracting women than running.
so which rice gets more chicks
It's not all about getting attractive women. That is just one side effect of lifting weights, but there are many. I'm speaking from experience, lifting weights is better for you.
ideally, you would do both.
You need strength as a runner, but you also need a strong/trained heart as a lifter.
Which of both you do more, is up to your own preference.
But of course you could replace running with cycling, or swimming

Certainly this depends on the ethnicity of chick you are trying to attract.
It seems muscle-bound meathead bodybuilder chicks are always with muscle-bound meathead bodybuilder dudes. So lifting weights does seem a good method for attracting chicks that don't look like chicks. If that's what you're into.
Women cannot get muscle bound like a bodybuilder without drugs because they don't have the natural testosterone production.
If you want to improve your life stop running and hit the iron. It's that simple. You got to ask yourself, if something is that simple and I don't do it then I made a mistake.

Tell that to Caster Semenya.
What if I've already got chick I want?
That is hormone imbalance or intersex. An average biological woman cannot get a bodybuilder muscle bound physique. They don't have the testosterone.
Start lifting weights. You will thank me later. I will give you a program if you want.

Ok, let’s have it
First thing you have to do is learn how to bench press and squat. Those are the most important things to start off with.
When you bench press make sure you keep your elbows tucked and on the way down control the weight in a slow manner down towards your chest. Then after touching your chest push the weight directly up. Do this for about 5 reps and 5 sets. You will do this every 4 days.
For the squat make you sure stand with feet about shoulder width apart. Descend downwards with a controlled effort. You want go below parallel by a good bit. Then push up keep your back totally straight the whole time. Don't worry about the weight, go light at first. Do this for 5 reps and 5 sets. Train every 4 days.
Also if you can do pull ups I recommend doing pull ups for 5 reps and 5 sets. If it's easy get a backpack and put some weights in there.
After you built up your strength a little in about 4-5 months you can start training accessory exercises like the pec fly, lat pull down, curls, triceps extension, etc. And also then it would be best to switch to higher reps, lower weight and slower negative so you can really blast your muscles and build them up.
For now those as a beginner you must first learn the proper techniques and training and build your strength before anything else.
i've had the opposite experience. i lifted a lot of weights when I was younger, but ended up switching my focus towards running and am very glad I did.
i no longer lift anymore, and would rather run miles instead. the only time i'd step into a weightroom lately was to work on some supplemental exercises for running.
the pump was nice feeling, though.
Interesting. What were some of the benefits you noticed when you stopped weight lifting and started running?

my state of mind was a lot better. i wasn't stuck in an air-conditioned room for hours and had the ability to explore trails, mountains and neighborhoods with my feet. i got a lot of satisfaction from smashing out long runs.
funny you mention attracting women, because i found that i attracted a lot more women when i focused on running.
i liked being able to develop my lung power. it was something i never thought about when i was lifting, but now that the coronavirus issues are going about, it's given me a lot of thought for how grateful i am for having developed it.
also, i don't look like a meathead anymore. my frame is much more balanced and aesthetic. i packed on the pounds easily from weights, and it took a looooong time combined with many miles to whittle it down.
No, I used to play football in the fall and go to the gym for the rest of the year. Started track (sprints) in the offseason 3 years ago before realising I had decent endurance and switched to mid-distance and XC.
Lifting weights never felt like a real "sport", it was always just a support for football and now (to a lesser extent) running. I liked doing it with the football team because we had a common goal and it was just fun with other, but I hated lifting alone. On the other side, I love running alone. I also liked the competitive aspect of running, even when I wasn't very good I could still go to track meets and satisfy that competitive spirit. Regarding lifting, I feel like there aren't that many lower level amateur competitive opportunities (like highs school track), though I could be ignorant. Just my opinion. Also I'm a lot better at running so that probably helps me enjoy it more.
For girls, it doesn't matter what sport you do, as long you're healthy looking and don't play videogames (or browse letsrun) all day lol
When I quit hardcore running I was 5'10" 128 pounds and could hardly bench press 105 pounds with good form.
I was a decent looking guy, but women would always say that I was too skinny. That all changed after I quit running.
