Anyone else dealing with a boyfriend obsessed with the gym and looks?

Question

DishLady · Answer

Lol. Let the guy work on becoming your big strong protector, no? Those muscles are nice when you're walking arm-in-arm with him, right?

Now if he's egocentric and ONLY concerned with his looks to the point that he only sees you as a prop to his universe... then that's not a good boyfriend.

Appearance is not the whole story, people also consider other things in a person’s life.

I had an ex like that and I won’t say that all gym bros are the same but my ex could be pretty toxic and controlling. He tried to control every detail of my life from diet to sleep, he said that it was because he cared about me and just wanted me to be healthy… which I’m sure he thought about it that way, but looking back it was exhausting. I believe in caring about your health and fitness because it’s good for you, but that relationship almost ruined something that’s good for me because I associated it with the wrong thing. Anyway I moved on and made peace with it, found my passion and desire for it again. I’m thankful for the good things I did learn from him, but now I see that breaking up was for the best.

I'm sorry but you need to understand gym world and this question does not acknowledge all the work he has put it..

What do you want him to be? He wants to be his absolute best.

When in the gym accessing mirrors , those people ( male and female ) are there own harshest judges , he is probably doing 2 hour sessions , and yeah it's tough and you want to achieve results.

Diet is a massive part and it's not easy , he looks great , if I were you I'd be thankful he has such a great body and support him.

It's easy to be a lazy prk , he is NOT , he is taking pride working hard , seriously be thankful , Id only encourage him to stay " clean " that is important , and he will be offered " gear " so I stress that.

Be Thankful that you have a boyfriend to be very proud of, and you will have many women lusting after him , so encourage his sport , it's an extreme sport keep that in mind.

Good Luck.

because you've been trained to think those type of men are girly or narcissist. The culture of the gym-rat is what you're complaining about.

The issue is the narrative in your own head. If he was into cars the same way you'd have zero issue with it probably. But being into beauty and fashion bothers you. You're the problem.

I'm certainly not obsessed with my looks, but I have become addicted to the gym. As long as I can go to the gym enough, I have no issues moving my schedule around to accommodate her. Luckily, my gym is 24 hours.

All gym guys are obsessed with mirrors just like gyms girls are obsessed in how their bums are looking while wearing their tight sweatpants and which move is the favorite one for these girls? It's squatting 🤣🤣

First off. We aren't worth dating until our late 20s into 30s. Date an older person. Secondly, an older person will typically have a lot more relevant life experience and be much more financially settled.
