    anyone who thinks the answer isn’t “hit the gym” is coping.

    I’d put “hit the dermatologist” above it. Plenty of girls go for the skinny or husky builds. But blemishes are a universal turn off

      The benefits of hitting the gym are much more than just getting swole. It increases self-confidence, helps to improve self-image, etc, which are all way more important to getting laid than any hobby you could have.

          Not at a biochemical/hormonal level, which you definitely can for at least physical activity.

              No. I don’t think that going to a dermatologist causes significant hormonal changes like exercising regularly does. Why would I ever think that salicylic acid and antibiotics would affect my neurotransmitters and hormones significantly? They don’t…

                I don’t think that going to a dermatologist causes significant hormonal changes

                I don’t think you’ve ever been to a dermatologist

                  The fact that some derms offer hormonal therapy for certain cases of severe acne does not make that regular by any means. If you have a hormonal problem you go to an endocrinologist.
