My bf does not like all the time I spend in the gym so he started to come to see what I was up to. He got too emberassed that I was outlifting his so bad so now he leaves me alone. I call him "Doughboy" Women and men need to understand the life.. If it was a high paying job you were obbsessed about, she would not say a word. To me it is the same thing just not the pay. If you like it, dont you dare sacrefice it for anyone!!! Bunny

Bunny you need to encourage him or you will lose him. Male ego can take that or even rationalize it. If you get him in the gym he will gain strength very quickly. I just would want to see alittle dig on your part ruin a relationship. I knew a guy at a party he and his girl got into who was stronger. So they arm wrestled and she won. It was lame on her part cheated all the way but, never let him forget it and after acouple months he just left. He didn't say goodbye or anything. She came home and he was gone. IP: Logged |

Unless your girl is into training herself, they'll never understand. I've never had a girl leave me for it, but a couple of them were real jealous of the time I spent at the gym and the fact that it was (and still is) a bigger priority than them. I used to get "How do you think it makes me feel that the gym comes before me" or "are you trying to pick up other girls at the gym" kind of crap. Just ignore it, if she left you because of it, the relationship probably wasn't too strong anyhow. GO LEAFS GO!!!As we always say, "next year". IP: Logged |

I had a girl who left me cause of that. It wasn't totally that I spent too much time in the gym,but that I didn't spend enough time with her. Now she's jealous as fuck. If a girl can't understand why you go to the gym too much, then it wasn't meant to be. I want a girl that's gonna go with me and get on my ass when I slack or take a day off. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Cleaner, You are right and he did come with me to the gym for a while. It is just not his thing and he looks great anyway. I only call him that when we are alone and it is a pet name. We both have things we like to do. He hunts and fishes and I dont want to go join him in doing that. We have our life together, and we also have a life apart as individuals. He can kick my butt if he wanted to, but I can still out lift him!! I am stronger and he is bigger. It works out. Peace Bunny IP: Logged |

Bunny, Thats cool was just sharing, you have got a pretty cool guy to take that from you. Its nice to have time apart - my wife will demand at time that I go get lost in the woods. She says I get to be a pain when I don't get enough time away from the bullshit of life. IP: Logged |

I had been a fat fuck for a year when I started lifting. Now that I am starting to look good, 2 years lifting now, my girl tells me she does not like the bodybuilding type. She said if I get much bigger she will leave, and I am not stopping. ------------------ IP: Logged |

You need to find someone with the same goals. I meet my husband at a gym 12 years ago, I looked across the room and said to a girl, that's what I want!! And we have been married 12 years... And we still work out and do most things together!!! IP: Logged |

You just have to get a girlfriend that understands. My girlfriend will ask me every night "did you go to the gym today?" If I tell her no, she's like "why not." She knows how important bodybuilding is to me, and she helps me out. If I'm supposed to go out with her that night, then I'll start my workouts earlier so I have time to spend w/ her. It's all about give and take, you have to learn to balance it out. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Dale - I think it is common for women to never feel worth of the man, so they are constantly looking for approval, so sure it scarres the hell out of them if you look great. But they are relying on a mans approval for self definition and satisfaction - that is why most women are constantly on emotional rollercoasters. Cleaner, Bunny "This is who we are" IP: Logged |

I must be incredibly lucky. My training partner and sometime girlfriend was always an athelete and had weight trained at one point, but when we hooked up and she started using my routine her body just exploded! Holy genetics, she looks better on my routine than I ever did - and she's gear-free! we trained together before we ever hooked up. There was something deeply satisfying about being able to be that openly honestly physical with someone. Let's face it, balls to the wall training is a very personal thing. I'm convinced that's why we hooked up. And a Q for the women: it just seems odd that you'd hook up with a guy who doesn't train. Dunno why it seems odd, maybe it's just me. But my partner loves the fact that I'm the one guy she's ever dated who's stronger than she is. IP: Logged |
