Would a man who loves to workout and always dated a fit woman, be a attracted to a woman who is the opposite?

Would he also date the woman who is the opposite?
Just curious.

[Curmudgeon]

Probably not. Two Latin language terms are important here: "ceteris paribus" (all other things being the same) and "prima facie" (at first view).

Ceteris paribus, given two women of equal intelligence, kindness, etc., he will want the better looking one.

Now the not as good looking one may have a heart of gold and the other stunning lady may be an evil witch, but prima facie he does not know and cannot tell that.

Possible, its not about looks. Most of men that are good looking just want a great woman, and i know from myself and friends. Had same situations it happen a lot your girlfriend beautiful and become fat, and its same if you crazy of her.. you dont care but really!

Generally he will not be, a lot has to deal with the fact a fit woman will want to eat healthy, workout, and support each other in it, if she is not into fitness she will want him to stop.

I’ve learned this myself if your into fitness and she isn’t she wants you to stop the gym, and stop your strict diet.

It's not impossible, not all fit guys look for equally fit women, some of them look for a nice woman regardless of her body. Some also look for a woman that's not fit or plus size, including myself. I'm a fit guy who's doing charity shirtless modelling who prefers women that are not fit and/or plus size myself.

Oh wow. I didn't know that

Not typically, though I did know a couple who got together. He was a gym rat, she was overweight. A couple years later they were both very fit.

[hahahmm]

She realized it was in her interest to get fit if she wanted to keep him!

[hahahmm]

Short term, maybe - because she happens to have nice proportions. But when it really sinks in that she's too lazy to stay in shape & she starts morphing into a hippo he's going to bail.

When I met my wife I was really fit and she was pretty fat. I'm 6'4 and we both weighed 180 when we met lol.

[Ekke118]

Based on the dating history, maybe not.

[slatyb]

Seems unlikely but you would have to ask him.

[Albino010]

Yeah, it's possible.

[anylolone]

Possible.
