Would you date a gym rat?


I have and I would again... but really depends on the gym rat. At 45 I have notices lots of singles in my age grow burry themselves in the gym. Hours upon hours of working out... and honestly I do believe strongly in living a healthy lifestyle. For me that means everything in moderation, but some people use the gym as means to hide from their real problems.
Singles at my age really do put a lot of vales on themselve over their physical attributes and health... but they put 100% of there effort into conditioning their bobies, but seem to neglect their mind and personality. So you work out a lot, that doesn't make you a better person because you put all your time into yourself. Spending that much time in the gym can be considered self-indulgent.
Last gym rat I dated got upset with me because she liked protein powder mixed into her waffles. I told her I don't want protein powder in my waffles. If I want protein I will eat a stake, but I want syrup with my waffles. So goes on about carbs and sugurs... blah, blah , blah.
In the end I ate the dang protein powder waffles just to make her happy. But yeah, in the long run it didn't work out... she was too over the top for me and not very accommodating. 42 single never married and she lived int he gym and was proud dog mom with no real kids... so yeah, think about that. Less time in the gym and more time really working on yourself as person would be better spent.
No. The gym I used to go to there were a couple girls who were there almost all the time. I went 3-4 times a week at different days and times, and 80% of the times I went I saw them. One of them was an aerobics instructor for a hard-core conditioning class I sometimes attended, and one day she was on the weight machines and I mentioned she looked tired. She said she had done a 12 mile run with her marathon training group that morning and then had led her 75 minute class. And was now doing shoulder machines.
Yeah, I want someone with more diverse interests.
No. I like if a guy exercises a few times a week and stuff but those dudes that eat/breathe/sleep in the gym are not for me. If you go to the gym that much, you’re likely tryna become buff and i like my dudes more slim muscular or just slim. Plus I can’t keep up with a gymrat. Some try to control their partners eating habits like boy get tf out my face and give me back my hot cheetos
Thanks for mho
I was in relationship with guy like that... Never again.
Why’s that? I presume its probably for the same reason I wouldn’t be friends with a guy like that. Just such little interest myself
Because it was so annoying. Most of these guys are so self obsessed and full of themselves. There isn't a mirror that he didn't check how he looks by bringing his arm forward. Lot of times he'd open the phone to take the picture of his biceps even while taking pictures with me the way he kept his arms look bigger was ridiculous, lol
He spent hours at gym. We talked often when he was at gym... on the phone. It was awkward for me. He would eat every few hours and ate a lot. Also, I realised he's spoiled. Like he expected people to cook for him everyday. That's very unacceptable since he was a grown adult who wants to keep getting bigger but put the responsibility of cooking on his mum first then his housemates. I found it too irritating because he wanted to marry me at some point and expected me to make all those stuff for him. I love cooking but I don't like people who feels entitled so I said nope. He can't expect that from me. Also, I hate how he liked to talk about his physique so much. He often bragged about his workout and would always call me tiny. It pissed me off.
@WhiteBoyChill I do not want a man to compare my body with his to boost his ego and do not want a man who spends so much time on his body and keeps being obsessed with his physique and his diet. It's unattractive.
@WhiteBoyChill Now it's my turn to say I don't blame you for wanting to punch him in the face, lol. Because no one like cocky arrogant idiots.
What's your reason for not wanting to be friends with guy's who are crazy ripped?
Because they tend to be arrogant dipshits like you said. Though I do know one guy who isn’t like that and we are friends.
And I thought most of them are unbearable only in relationships, lol.
Yeah, there are some exceptions in some cases. 😅 It's just that there are too many arrogant ones and very few nice and grounded one. So, I'd rather stick to guys who are balanced. Who cares about their health and grooming but doesn't go overboard
That’s fair. I mean I personally think as long as a guy is slender and healthy that’s all that matters. To be a gym buff is just way too much food to have to eat.

He’s hot but I’m not into rats of any kind lol
Yeah. Girls who are fit are hot but to a point. When it’s steroids not as much
I mean, I wouldn't target that type of person, but if that is what they like to do in the spare time, I would be fine with it.
Staying fit/healthy is a good ritual.
Definitely as it shows dedication to stay healthy which brings a good mindset and discipline. Just as long as it isn't like bulging muscle or body builder kind.
Considering I am also yea, I would.
There’s a lot of focus, routine and structure that goes into staying consistent at the gym.
Yes if he was really sweet, not too buff and could help me get fit too..
Sure…If it’s their hobby, go for it. At least it’s a healthy hobby
Depends on the level of gymming he's doing and whether he can chill once in a while or not. For example, if we go on vacation does he need to find a gym or can we just walk a lot, that type of thing.
Only if she still looks feminine and not built like a man
only if I can give the rat no carb cheese (see what I did there)
Sure if I’m attracted to them and they don’t look masculine
Sure, if she was a nice rat and got along with my cat Allister...
Maybe. I want a normal woman who’s healthy obviously, but going to the gym isn’t a requirement
Depends.
If they just like going to the gym a lot and working out, i like that.
If it's their entire personality and they have nothing else to talk about, then no.
I did in the past but I think no man works this hard at the gym to look this good just for you.
Oh God know. The few I have known were positively awful.
Well it's better than dating a couch potato that eats junk food all day, like someone we all know
*coughs
Sure. Why not? I like a man who takes care of himself. 😌
I am a gym rat and would definitely date one.
What's wrong with that 🤔😊
Probably not as I am not a gym rat nor am the type to work out every day with weights.
I'm an athlete myself, and I appreciate the dedication of taking care of body, and a woman with some muscles is hot. So yeah.
No, those guys are so annoying.
No because women who have muscle like men (steroids and hormones) are disgusting and repulsive
Never have, but I might if he was the right person.
I’m scared of rats
Well. Considering i like lifting, i would absolutely love it if my girl also did that.
Body building, doing it the right healthy way is good.
it's a requirement. If she doesn't love my gym, then she doesn't love me. :D
100%. That's the dream
That rat is jacked.
No, we'd never see each other. 🤣
Well I am one so yes
Definitely. Its a big plus if she is a gym rat.
no because she's probably buffer than me, 🤢
Ewww
Probably not.
nope
No that a prison sit at 45 years sentence
Gymrats suck
