There's more to life than exercise and not eating carbs, or only eating meat twice a week, or whatever the current health news is.
I'd much rather date someone who enjoyed their life and had a hobby than someone continueously at the gym. I go to the gym, my partner goes with me. But for instance - tonight is gym night. Instead, I'm lying in bed with a pulled muscle in my upper back (affecting both my shoulder blades, spine and neck) and my boyfriend is looking after me.
Should he go out to the gym because he's okay and I'm not? Probably. But I'm also very grateful that instead he's playing games, I'm watching Netflix and he's looking after me.
So yeah. I don't want a health freak, I want someone who cares enough to go to the gym. But I want someone who values other things over being the most ripped/ most healthy/ most whatever man he can be.

I don't care if who I'm with isn't super fit - looking (there are some nice bodies that aren't all muscle) but I like who I'm with to care about their health/how they look.
I like someone who showers. I like someone who exercises even if it's going for a walk, or biking once and a while, or hitting the gym. If they worked out everyday, awesome! If it was whenever they were free (and have a busy life) that's fine as well. Even if there's a slight effort made I'm fine with that, as long as they don't "let themselves go" because they're too lazy. Being to lazy to make any sort of effort with health/look (even if it's just washing your face) means you're too lazy for more difficult things (for example working, or caring for a child etc).
Sure, I don't exercise either.
Yes, in the manner that they gain physical activity in their normal job/days. Someone who just sits around and doesn't see the lovely world would likely not be appealing to me.
As long as they would go on a walk with me. That's really all the exercise I do.

Yes I would because I always find personality to be the most attractive. However, I would prefer the guy u date to work out since I do as well- so it's almost like if I put a lot of effort and sweat into working out I'd like for them to work out as well, plus a guy who is in shape is extra attractive.
I would. I don't exercise that much so I wouldn't expect someone to. My boyfriend goes to the gym every day and has cancelled things with me for the gym so it can be a pain. He also has no energy or stamina when he comes to see me! He now has a personal trainer so it's even worse. Dating someone who exercises a lot certainly has it's downsides. I just want to sleep and eat pizza! :(
I just want someone healthy whether they spend 6 hours or zero hours in the gym. As long as they're okay with doing occasionally active things like hiking for biking. But overall I don't care, I'll try to encourage them to be more active but if they don't want to it's sill not a deal breaker
I don't meet too many attractive guys who don't work out at least a little. That's part of a healthy lifestyle. It wouldn't be a deal breaker if he didn't but if it gets really serious that's something he'd have to work on. Your metabolism might save you now but start exercising so u can preserve your sexy 10-15 years down the line so I'll still be attracted to u
I don't do any exercise except for the exercise I have to do walking places etc., or doing fun stuff like if I go ice skating or something; so it'd be pretty hypocritical of me to refuse to date someone the same. My preference is for skinny guys though, this makes me sound like such a bitch but I wouldn't date someone fat..
Yes totally because I HATE excercise and sports so I would actually mind if my guy did excercise also because he would spend a lot of time on how he looks and less time with me
Yes, I just want them to take care of themselves and to be healthy. A moderate amount of working out would be good for them. But it is not must or something.
I don 't exercise and I'm still in shape, not as tone as I used to be, but still in shape.
Yes, as long as he isn't fat.Yeah, I would. I mean my bf exercises, but I don't and he's still dating me. It'd be hypocritical of me to not date someone who doesn't exercise.
when love strikes... physical appearance doesn't matter...
Yes! Hahaha I don't exercise either so we'd be perfect.
I don't exercise lol. We can not exercise together.
i don't exercise but i like the girl to work out XD
Yes of course. I didn't exercise in the past, it is only 3 years ago i started out on yoga.
I don't exercise, I would date someone who doesn't exercise.
I dont mind , but !!! usually if the girl doesn't excercise, normally they will get tired easily on bed. and that's not cool
None of the guys I dated really cared for exercise. Unless playing soccer from time to time counts?
I'd date anyone I think I have chemistry or spark or someone I'm compatible with.
I think I accidentally pressed B.
Because I don't exercise either!!
