Breath rate lever man versus smaller woman?

[Anonymous]

I have trouble sleeping with a new person in bed so matching my partner's breath is a method I use to put myself to sleep.

The he other night when I did this I noticed the guy I'm seeing breathes a lot faster than me. He is a foot and at least 100 lbs taller. I'm thinking it is because he is out of shape. He says he runs a couple of miles 2-3 times a week but he has a bit of a gut and gets out of breath in bed. I've been running for 3 years, swim and had formal training in singing young so I have maybe a little above average control of my breath.

should I be concerned? Shouldn't he breath slower than me assuming we were in equal shape given our size difference?

I really like him and I don't mind the weight but for an LTR I do want my partner to have healthy CBC and what not.

A higher breathing rate would be more indicative of worse cardio health in my opinion. I'm not sure if him being larger overall would result in a higher br by default.. everything's proportional. If he has a larger body, his organs should be able to adapt to function within it without too much excessive strain.

I don't know, lol but running a few miles a week is nothing i rune a couple dozen every week

Tell him he's gotta loose some lbs

Some people just don't know how to lose weight. It isn't fair to date someone and try to change them. That would hurt my feelings I'm not going to tell a guy that. Anyways the weight isn't the problem he just needs to exercise more. I know he two usually go hand in hand but not always. You can have a healthy heart and a belly fine by me.

Then ask him to go for runs with you or work out with you.
