Vinnie Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) I found this referenced on Reddit but then went and read the original article. From the conclusion paragraph: "HGS [hand grip strength] alone might be the most important measurement of male strength. Thus, we encourage researchers to assess the specific effects of HGS within future studies and work toward developing a standardized technique for assessing this preeminent trait." The study links hand grip strength, specifically (as opposed to general overall strength), to longevity, attractiveness, socialization, health, and pretty much just awesomeness. So we are on the right track!

Mike Rinderle Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) I printed and posted this on the fridge and my wife's bathroom mirror so she knows just how incredibly attractive and awesome I am. Also put a note on there explaining that all the time I spend on grip work in the shed of tears is obviously for her. She's a lucky woman.

Climber028 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I suspect that causality is reversed, healthy attractive long living people do more activities that would increase grip strength. It's a good indicator but it doesn't mean you can squeeze things and become attractive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe success at grip imparts a confident swagger that augments one's charisma. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
