How would you feel if your other half was a body builder?

[Anonymous]

My other half is training to be a body builder, for health reasons, not so much the vanity side...which I don't mind but I worry he'll become arrogant and self obsessed.

I've never been bothered about what he looks like, I've seen him in shape and I've seen him gain a few pounds, it doesn't affect my attraction towards him.

Girls and guys...opinions please!

Bodybuilding is not about health at all. Anyone who says they've taken up bodybuilding for health reasons is fooling you. Bodybuilding is all about taking it to a level that is no longer healthy anymore. The cycles of bulking and cutting take a toll on the body. It's 100% about aesthetics.

I am a body builder I do it for sake of bettering myself I am also a martial artist and am training to be a personal trainer so that I can help people.

I don't like the look of body builders. I'm not SUPER into fitness either, so I doubt a body builder would be into me, haha!

I'd be ok with it unless he's gone to the extreme..

When the other girls are all looking, don't you want to be standing back like yep that's MY man!

I like when my girl is looked at.. as long as she isn't flirting and hittin' the dude up for his number haha.

:) we all should be in better shape.

For health reasons? You do realize that most bodybuilders take steroids? I body build too and I take steroids. We do eat healthy and take vitamins that offset some negative sides of the steroids but its still harsh on the liver. I'd ask him if he's on anything if I were you. There's very few natural bodybuilders.

I ain't ever taken steroids I do take protein and BCAA though steroids not a good idea when I already have trouble controlling my anger.

I wouldn't date a bodybuilder because its hard be with one. They have a special diet, special time of day to go to the gym, and a tight schedule between those two. It would end up costing a lot of money with very little chance of earning money.

tell him to stay all natural no steroids. Personally i would not date a buff girl but a girl with abs i go crazy over that.

[GoldCobra]

Well, you're right. He will be self obsessed but might not be arrogant. Although it gets really easy to be arrogant and cocky when you're amazingly good looking. Just tell him how you feel about it and he'll listen to you. He will listen to his girl

If he's doing it for personal reasons I don't see vanity becoming too likely of a problem.

[LaylaTwoHours]

I wouldn't be bothered at all. He could motivate me to get in better shape.

I wouldn't want to date a real buff chick lol
