To do that somewhat naturally, lift weights to increase testosterone.
I haven’t found either my stupidity or my resistance to (desirable) persuasion to be increased by either lifting weights or alterations to my testosterone—natural or otherwise. If anything the improvement to my health (mental and physical) and general emotional/social security makes the net effect the opposite to what you describe.
That can happen sometimes but it can also go the other way. Testosterone has its downsides. Its upsides might still outweigh them, obviously.
I was born with high prenatal testosterone, so I can attract people now even without testosterone. I generally go without testosterone, ’cuz I think it negatively affects my rationality. Hypothetically, this restricts me to cardio, and keeps me from lifting. In practice, though, it doesn’t really come up.
I don’t lift. I used to. If I were to start lifting again it’d be a relevant consideration. Most people could probably use more testosterone, but I think my optimal testosterone level is low. Years ago someone told me intellligence was correlated with high testosterone at birth but low testosterone as an adult. Makes sense to me.

That part I noticed.

Messes with cholestrol levels something shocking. Makes you stinky. Causes acne. Is converted to DHT leading to male pattern baldness and
You actively avoid lifting weights so as to reduce your testosterone levels? That’s not something I’ve heard before.

I know this is old—do you have your research here on lifting and testosterone?
