Yeah this is actually true.
I notice a massive difference in the way I'm treated when I'm super lean with a chiseled face vs bloated, and/or higher bf%
This is especially noticeable with women (the difference in treatment is actually sad and highlights a level of shallowness)
I even feel like you get more respect from gym bros and workplace associates when lean. Idk there some kind of psychological factor to it that maybe garners more respect from both genders? Not sure on which psychology component is most influential for this, can only speak to the results.
I like my test dose around 250-375 with high mast as well. Mast really sucks the water from the face when lean
