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?
I would say they take it a little too seriously, but I have no qualms with those that take it farther than me. I ask no more of anyone than I am willing to do myself. I keep my meals small during the week and I exercise regularly to stay fit. I only ask the person I date to stay fit too. If they can do it by only only eating and not working out then more power to them.
I’m not a lazy slob nor am I sloppy but if you don’t like me for me then you’re not worth my time most likely.
I’ll tell her to keep it moving. I don’t have to work that hard to stay fit. If she has to work that hard in her 20s to be fit, when the body chemicals shut down in 20 years, she’ll be a terrible train wreck.
If I wanted the person to like me I would do it. You have to do what you have to do to compete.
This wouldn’t happen to me because I am the visual image of perfection.
I think you are confusing the term fit with attractive. If you aren’t working that hard then you are likely out of shape.
Depends on what shape you consider to be fit… If fit is the number 8, then Yes – I am out of shape.
To answer the question presented, no, I would not workout to impress someone else. It’s all about that individual and what their health goals are. Working out for others is a waste of time b/c people usually don’t know what they want from one day to the next …smh
I work out for me. My sexiness is my gift to the world.
