You think men and women would save themselves a lot of trouble if they just get in shape before they hit the dating scene?

Not always. Of course taking care of yourself is important and it’ll be either vital or a bonus for a potential candidate, but some folks just don’t care about you looking physically fit. I know women who specifically want bigger men, everyone has preferences.

i get the devil's advocate approach but I've seen maybe one relationship all year were a woman dated this grossly fat man, is it a possibility yes is it the norm, absolutely not

[HollyK21]

I’m not saying it’s the norm, just sharing what I’ve witnessed. Being in shape is great, but it’s not a dealbreaker for everyone, most are fine just dating someone who’s a healthy weight in general.

Showing that you take care of yourself and take pride in yourself definitely goes a long long way. This goes for dressing decent and grooming as well.

going to gym is a nice little confidence booster i need

[mandyfire98]

It helps psychologically as well. Releases stress, builds confidence. It's all around great.

Yes I´m generally in favor that as long as it´s in healthy manner since working out can also turn into an addiction. I think it would also help some people increase their dating chances.

[shades777]

lets be honest, the amount of people in that realm of possibility is low, they have to be fit before they reach addiction level

[Lionman95]

Yes that´s probably true. I was thinking of the maybe imaginary person that doesn´t want to go to certain places for dates because the food there is not a good diet for working out. Like someone that wants to avoid sugar at all cost unless it´s not out of fruits. So he can´t go out for donuts because there´s sugar in it and it will get them fat.

[Lionman95]

But generally speaking I think many people should at least do something to get themselves in shape. Not in extreme measures but enough to live a healthy life.

[shades777]

oh that angle, yea i meant in shape like physically fit but avoding unhealthy foods sure

[Anonymous]

Only if it affects them mentally. I've been fat and I've been in relatively good shape. And I really don't think it made much of a difference.

No, I have more important things to do than spend money on women's food.
