Question What is humility and why is it good?

Hey I got a question which has been on my mind. Now you are probably not all religious but I would bet a few of you are. So in Christianity being humble is good and humility is the biggest virtue since its counterpart pride is the biggest vice or sin. It is the deadliest sin, pride.

I just don't really understand what humility is. For example, if one works out everyday to become fit and strong and good looking or if one tries to find ways to earn a lot of money, maybe even in criminal ways, and then gets the money or the strength, just to get more women to be interested in him and gets it done.

While the humble person gives up and stays humble, doesn't even workout because he doesn't want to impress anyone, and doesn't find ways to start a business or earn money, so he will also have less chances with women or none at all, because he isn't looking for a wife. If THAT'S not humility then what is? Isn't the prideful egotistic person better off in this world? I'm looking at Logan Paul and Andrew Tate here. They may get sued and Prime will fall, but even then they're still rich. Are they not better off in this world than the humble person?

Or I'm making a big stretch here, but doesn't everyone just workout to be good looking towards females? That was always the only reason I worked out, otherwise I gave up. I can be healthy and not workout at all but I'll definitely look better if I do workout. Is that not prideful? Or how can I workout and be humble? How can I search for richness and beauty and still be humble? What is it like to be humble?

Now in my opinion all the other virtues or sins are pretty self-explanatory but this pride/humility thing, I just don't get it. If you stay humble all your life, will you not end up lonely and uninterested in anything? I never really cared to start a business I thought it was way too much work, I'd rather have the 9-5 job. And with workout I stopped doing it because it felt like chasing wind, but recently I started working out again. But it IS just to impress women for me. There is no other reason I workout. That's probably why most old people don't workout anymore because they're married or won't have sex anymore.

I just don't understand why humility is better for you. Is it? Cause all those egotistical prideful people are doing a lot better, even some scammers are doing better, definitely better than the person they just scammed. Can someone explain to me what I can do to be more humble and what humility is?

Or if you want to become rich and you start a business and "work hard" as those rich entrepreneurs call it, is that not pride too? Is being humble NOT just working at a 9-5 and never trying to be an entrepreneur? Aren't all those rich entrepreneurs prideful as fuck? It just looks like that to me. Maybe I'm not getting something here, can you help me understand this better?

Or if you are in a war why shouldn't you just go on the battlefield and let yourself be killed. Turn the other cheek, or SOMETHING. Is that not pure humility? Why should you have the right to kill them and be prideful about it? How can you be humble in this world when everything teaches you to chase after money, sex, health and blah blah. HOW would a humble god pleasing person behave in this world? That's what I want to know!
