How do you get a girl to start squatting?

[Anonymous]

My mate is a gym addict and wants to get his gf into squatting. Without asking her to do so.

At the moment he's Facebook liking all those nice ass gym photos hoping that she takes a hint.
I suggested he likes about 20 different photos within a short period of time lol but I don't think he's going to do that.

The girl is a reasonable looking girl but im sure every guy would want a girl who squats.

What are some ways to get her into it? Without offending her. She does have a reasonable ass but it could be better.

This is the thing.. there is no nice way to hint at it without creating an insecurity in her mind. You might think something like that isn't such a big deal and "if she doesn't want to take up squatting then it's still okay". But when she realizes (either directly or indirectly) that he wants her to gain some ass, she's going to create this "I'm not enough" idea in her mind and chances are she's not going to stop in the ass region, she'll start looking all around for more flaws.

Not sure how much of an insecure person she is or how confident she is in herself. If she's a strong person and doesn't let people tell her what to do and she values herself a lot for who she already is, she's not even going to bother squatting, she'll just thing her boyfriend is an asshole, liking all those pages. If she's easily made insecure, then it will grow as a cancer in her mind and I'm sorry, but "more ass" isn't a good reason to strain a relationship. I would tell him to stop liking those pages, simply because it doesn't feel nice to see your boyfriend liking repeatedly the type of body you don't have. So you look at yourself and wonder why is he even with you. You're handling a female's mind here. Maybe a guy would behave in a very practical way and be "pff, girlfriend is liking pages of guys with six abs, I'll get some", but a girl is thinking "gee, my body is not enough".

the best thing is for her to get to working out on her own. If your friend is a gym rat then he could take her to the gym and work out together and suggest VERY SUBTLY a routine that will enhance certain areas and tone up a few more areas. Once she sees the benefits of certain exercises, she'll do them on her own, and she'll see she's doing it for herself, NOT for a guy. Once you do something just because this one person asked you to, it becomes the art of pleasing someone else. She has to see that squatting is something she loves for herself.

Sorry but this is disgusting. Tell him to find a girl with more of the arse he wants of hers just isn't good enough for him! Of it's that important to him that he is trying to make her feel insecure to start squatting so HE is happy with HER body then my advice to her is to leave him for someone who LOVES HER ass!

Calm down! He loves her , and even if she doesn't take up squatting he's still going to love her and not treat her any differently. But in saying that he would like her to start squatting. But if she doesn't he's still going to stay with her. There's more to a relationship than a nice ass.

That's a good way to get DUMPED. If my boyfriend was going out of his way to do shit like that, I would say bye.

If she doesn't wanna squat, there is no nice way to tell her to do so unless he asks if she wants to lift with him sometime. Or maybe he could hint that her ass looks nice and ASK if she HAS been squatting. Maybe that will do some mind fucking.
I love squats but I discovered them on my own. I'm sure I may have been resistant if someone was trying to make me.

He might just have to accept her ass for what it is... Because like I said there is really no decent way to tell that to a girl. Much like there is no decent way to suggest your girl wear more makeup or dye her hair or something. Not that the point of squats is simply for appearance... But you get it :)

First off, he needs to stop liking pictures of other girls, all that's going to do is make her feel self-conscious, and he seriously don't want that, plus.. it's fucked up, stop checking out other women, especially if she can see, unless of course he's trying to start problems and trust issues in the relationship, then by all means, keep it up.

As far as getting her to do some squats, maybe compliment her, and ask if she's been doing any squats, then she won't think that he's trying to change her for his own pleasure, it'll make her feel more confident and better about her body..

He wants to make her feel beautiful, not make her feel like she isn't enough for him.

So he's liking pictures of girls with nice asses in order to make his girlfriend feel insecure about her own butt, so that she'll start squatting? Nice. Real fucking classy of him.
If he wants her to start squatting, why doesn't he just ask her if she wants to start working out with her? Or better yet, why doesn't he just accept the fact that she probably doesn't want to squat (otherwise she would be doing it already) and that he needs to stop acting so childish?

If I were his gf, I would dump him. Because clearly, he's not satisfied with me and is trying to control me. Big no-no. Love doesn't try to control the other person. Your friend doesn't really love his gf is he tries to change her for something that unimportant.

He could just tell her that it would be fun to exercise together. If she likes it good for him, if she doesn't then he shouldn't force her otherwise she will probably dump him :)
