I'm the anon that profiled you, not the one you thought was me and replied to. To give your shit takes a real response: pull-ups, running, and push-ups are not enough as anyone with experience knows. It's a very real boomer answer you gave, especially one with some mild military background which does indeed again fit my profile of you.
Aesthetics attract women, and there are plenty of muscle groups which can only be developed with real free weights and/or machines. They don't strictly have to be from a gym, but then it immediately follows that a gym is the most convenient by far if you have an ounce of experience. Besides aesthetics, these muscle groups which are very good for carrying, blue collar labor, and other practical reasons which can only be developed symmetrically which weight-lifting and a gym (at home or elsewhere). Failure to do so results in severe injuries long-term.
And if you weren't some pot-bellied Mormon glownigger, you'd have gone all the way by eschewing aesthetics of body-building or weight-lifting by discussing limited running with weighted vests, rucking with backpacks, mountaineering, swimming, climbing, and other fully practical endeavors with zero interaction with gyms.
