Why is my girlfriend OBSESSED with working out? she’s been like that since forever apparently?

[maro25]

She works a 9-4 job, heads to the gym and runs for like 1 hr and then does another hour of strength training. This is her EVERYDAY (but Saturday’s cause it’s her rest day). She’s there for at least 2 hours every day. I also work out consistently. But her body is already amazing and she doesn’t even need to lose weight. I’m not jealous of other guys checking her out at the gym cause she’s always wrapping a jacket around her bum (she has the hottest, tightest, and bubble butt thanks to her intense workout sessions). I met her at the gym, and she’s such a hermit (doesn’t go out much but to her work, gym, walking her dog). She wears LOTS of black and just spends SO much time doing the most INTENSE workouts like she’s restless and doesn’t burn out. I feel like she has a void inside her that she doesn’t show. We’ve only been dating now for 3 weeks but she’s too damn mysterious sometimes. Like I have to ask her to get her to open up, otherwise she won’t mention anything. She’s not the MOST approachable so I’m not afraid of other guys getting to her... but she’s also VERY NAIVE and often bubbly, like she’s high or something... so she’s unaware of the amount of looks guys give her constantly at the gym. A lot of guys just say hi to her and she doesn’t go any further in conversations. But she dresses modestly so that’s fine... yet, how can I tell her that SO many guys give her the eye for her body without sounding insecure? I’m sure she’s aware of it and that’s why she always has a jacket wrapped around her ass. Mind you she’s 24 and I’m 31.

OMG, take a breath. God invented paragraphs for a reason.

Dopamine. What you get with adrenaline. It's very addictive, and why runners just love to keep running. pfft.

Consider a couple more plates - spin them 'till one shows clearly worth pursuing above the others. Don't get stuck with one-itis. Have options. A backup plan - cuz all women have one.

[maro25]

Thank you man. but no, i ain't spinnin plates- she's the one im pursuing. what do you think of her based on what I said/described of her? She’s also an only child... do you think that adds to her peculiarity? Does the fact that she always wraps a jacket around her bum mean she’s aware of how sexually attractive she is to men?
she's kind of a badass: Before we dated there was this day she didn’t have cash on her (only card) and ordered orange juice. The store doesn’t accept cards so she couldn’t pay. So I paid it for her. It was worth 3 dollars only lol. And she kept bragging on how she “owes me” and texting me saying thank you. She rarely lets me pay for her water. When we were by the juice store another day, she’s like I have to buy you your drink cause I owe you... then I said “are you kidding me? You don’t owe me shit” then she laughs her infectious laugh and says “no I’m actually not kidding you

[Browneye57]

Neither one of us can know anything about her. You need to DATE her. See your other question.

My advice would be to date, a LOT of girls. This way you'll actually have some experience to be able to discern whether they're worthy, whether they're a match, whether they're worth your investment in time and effort.

[TuMeManques]

He is seriously starting to sound like a stalker.

[englisc]

I'm not sure what the problem is here. She works out and clearly enjoys it, and even if she doesn't have any weight to lose she still needs to train to keep the weight low, you don't stop once you've lost it. The other stuff about guys looking - why does that matter? Would you prefer a fat girl who guys look at?

[TuMeManques]

Sounds like my preferred workout schedule. Also in the other question you asked you said were just getting to know her and was wondering if she lost interest in you do it sounds like she's not your girlfriend.
Either way, working out is her jam and guys always check girls out at the gym.

[Logorithim]

You have to ask her why, but she probably gets a natural high from it.

[maro25]

I ask her why she works out so much? Do you think she suffer/suffered from depression in the past or something? Or borderline? She has friends but never wants to go out. She’s more of a “mellow” person. What do you mean by she gets a natural high from it?

[Logorithim]

How do you feel after a Workout (especially in your head)? You feel great, right. That biochemical reaction is what I am Talking about. She also gets pleasure from being good at it, and getting great results.

[maro25]

Thank you man. And what do you think of her based on what I said/described of her?

[Logorithim]

She sounds bad ass to me. Try to suggest some fun non-Workout activities you can do together.

[maro25]

What makes you think so? Can you elaborate further? Please I’m so tripped man

[Logorithim]

I think it's great when a Woman works out a lot. You're still getting to know her, and that takes time. Sounds like an interesting Person, and some People are like coconuts and take awhile to get comfortable with other People.

[maro25]

I agree with you. She’s also an only child... do you think that adds to her peculiarity?
Does the fact that she always wraps a jacket around her bum mean she’s aware of how sexually attractive she is to men?

[Logorithim]

Yes, and yes. I think you're lucky to have her.

[maro25]

Well she defo is badass. Before we dated there was this date she didn’t have cash on her (only her card) and ordered an orange juice. The store doesn’t accept cards so she couldn’t pay. So I paid it for her. It was worth 3 dollars only lol. And she kept bragging on how she “owes me” and texting me saying thank you. She rarely lets me pay for her water. Isn’t that weird?

[maro25]

When we were by the juice store again, she’s like I have to buy you your drink cause I owe you... then I said “are you kidding me? You don’t owe me shit” then she laughs her infectious laugh and says “no I’m actually not kidding you”

[Logorithim]

Hahaha- I'm jealous! Seriously, she sounds great.

[maro25]

Funny thing is that when I paid for her orange juice, she almost walked away without it and forgot it (that’s what I meant when I said she’s like high) so I was like hey don’t forget your juice.. then she grabs it and smiles and walks her walk

[maro25]

You think she’s alright?

[JC103]

That’s pretty normal. I workout everyday for about 1-2 hours a session and sometimes I’ll even workout again at night

[maro25]

Thank you man. And what do you think of her based on what I said/described of her? Do you think the fact that she wraps a jacket around her bum means she’s aware of how sexually attractive she is to men?

[JC103]

To be honest I don’t really care about things like that, nothing good ever come from it. She sounds like a awesome girl though

[maro25]

I don’t care either but I just wanna know if she’s aware of it since she’s insistent on always concealing her ass? Like is she naive of how sexually appealing she is or not?

[JC103]

I believe she’s aware of the men but she’s at the gym. The only thing I care about at the gym is achieving what I came to do and by the hours she puts in, she does too. I sometimes wear compression pants to workout and girls look at my bulge but I just carry on. What other workout outfits can she wear?

[madhatters4]

she enjoys it. probably enjoys the feeling, seeing the results, etc

[RiccoCosta]

She's an insecure little whore who needs constant "look at me" reassurance.

[WildBill694u]

If it makes her feel good !! Support , support , support !!

[ThisDudeHere]

She probably gets a high from it.
