Today’s dating world is brutally intense.  Everybody has requirements.  Long gone are the days when the ability to read, a good paycheck, and good manors were enough to get you in the door.  Nowadays if you don’t stand out from the crowd you stand a strong chance of growing old alone.

While everyone has their standards one thing is universal…looks.  Physical attraction is a must.  Some people (the smart ones) work out to preserve their bodies.  A certain segment of those people will only date people who take physical fitness as serious as they do.

Picture this.  You meet a new person at a social event.  The chemistry is readily apparent.  The mandatory questions are asked an answered:

• Are you a lunatic? No
• Do you work? Yes
• Are you spontaneous? Yes

You continue to be impressed by your new target.  As the conversation ends the person says that he/she has one final thing to tell you.

“I’m sort of a fitness nut.  I eat six small meals a day, drink a gallon of water a day, and I work out 5 days a week.  I simply can’t stomach a person who doesn’t look after themselves.”

What would you do or say in this situation?
