This is just an observation and in no way portrays the thoughts or feelings of management…..LOL that should cover the nay Sayers and those that want to complain about what I say here. I’m just going to put it out there… “Sex Sells!” I don’t think a truer statement has ever been spoken no matter what the issue is. And it doesn’t have to be intentional either. For example, a Good-looking woman in her 20’s or 30’s, even beyond that age if she still has that look of excitement in her eyes, could sell ice to Eskimos. Let’s face it, sex is what keeps the media going and sales high. I’ve noticed through my years that if you are good looking, with good energy, good humor, you can take on the world. OK,, OK,, there ARE exceptions to the rule but I’m not talking carved in stone here, just on the average as the norm. Take the fitness business I’m in, would you rather be with a coach that’s good looking, in shape and young? Or a guy who’s considered old by social standards, in average shape physically, and maybe average in the over all looks category. Without lying, you are going to pick her not me.
I’ve come to this understanding by paying attention to the events, videos, and advertisements with in the fitness industry. You don’t have to be skinny just look good when you present yourself, high energy and being young helps too. There are approx. 300,000 coaches in beachbody and at every event when announcing the top this or that it’s almost always a good-looking lady with a walk of energy and a twinkle in her eye. Rarely do you ever see a guy up there in that group unless he has like a Chippendale dancer physique. Please don’t get that I’m bitter or anything at all. I just know how it works as a general rule. I say this because I’m 60, average looks, physique is a work in progress (about 30 pounds overweight), NOT real media savvy. Oh, and Media Savvy is another whole issue by itself that adds into the picture. What else adds into the picture is popularity by which of course was gained by the looks and personality of ???? a lady. Men have it a lot harder the older they get. I’m not complaining I’m just stating the facts as I see them. I’ve thought of giving up but then again why?
Why should I give up? There ARE guys in my category that have made it, not many but a few. So why not be part of the few? You’re never too old to learn something, like Social Media. The younger group will tell you it’s simple just post everyday and they will come. Hmm, I did that for over 3 months of posting at least 2 or 3 times a day about my workouts, nutrition, things in general that I was doing and how I would love to help anyone. Not even a nibble. I was told how 2 or 3 THOUSAND people a day, that you don’t even know, view your posts. So, with that in mind, if’ it’s true, not even getting a nibble or 1 friend request is like a Billion to one shot. I would have better odds winning the lotto. It’s human nature to comment whether it’s good or bad. Yet I do not give up. I just need to find the key ingredient that I’m missing to get the cake to rise so to speak. Oh, I can hear it already…. You have a defeatist attitude…. You’re making excuses,,,,, your only downfall is YOU,,,, You’re just taking the lazy way out to justify your short comings,,, and so on, Well like said before, be honest with yourself at least if with no one else and look at the whole picture.
Just because you don’t think yourself to be above average or anything special, the general public does and will follow you all over. Attitude is the key to a lot and will overrule a lot of the social misconceptions. Women are still better though at it than guys. Ask yourself this before you keep rolling your eyes right out of your head … You’re a guy, standing in line someplace and you strike up a conversation with the lady in front of you. It’s casual and about fitness and you ask to stay in touch, asking for her info. Reaction? “I’m Married!” or “I’m NOT interested!” You didn’t ask to meet up at a hotel or out for a date. The guy however is automatically viewed as a predator. Now, if a lady starts to talk to a lady, not only will she walk away with a new BFF but all the other persons info including an address. So, don’t tell me you are nothing special, but you made it! You ARE something special and so you made it. The average person or male, needs to get an edge, gimmick, something,,,, to get to that level playing field we all desire to achieve. And don’t get me started on Giving up, that should never be an option if you wish to truly obtain success. Look around and you’ll see I’m telling the truth here. Break it all down, Looks, Popularity and Age make up 75% of what it takes in this fitness business. Leaving 25% for myself and others in the same spot trying to get ahead. I won’t stop looking though to make my dream become 100% and I know there are no guarantees, but I CAN guarantee however, that if you Don’t try, you will only get to 100% as a Fail.
Remember to drop me line with any questions, ideas, or if you need help with anything. Also, if you would like to help people like I do, let me know and let’s talk. I’m always looking to build my team!
