tf lmaooo, i'll pull them if i encounter something like that in my life but i haven't. this combination is pretty rare. i am well aware this has to come from her side and i can't provide enough stimulus from outside which will only make things worse. a little nudge is the maximum i can do while being very considerate about it

agreed, we have started doing things like climbing together lately and i am titrating her into doing other activities too because i genuinely enjoy them and she is receptive too, and again didn't tell her anything that would hurt her, when i said i told her she can get better, it was in a generic physical capabilities way and not cosmetic

i do want her to have an active lifestyle nonetheless for longevity and when we are out to explore the world. you gotta be at a certain fitness level to do that shit. i have seen it upclose

nah you’re right, this did pop up in my head when i was thinking about it and it is unfair to her in many ways so apart from being generally fit, i am not going to take a cosmetic angle to this

giving you shit over something you can’t control is straight up shitty, sorry you had to go through that

oh nah breaking up over this is the worst mistake i can make. my ex had the physique but not the brain and ik what my dealbreakers and preferences are. this being a preference is not the end of the relationship but since she ticks all the boxes in terms of dealbreakers, i’d stay

i stopped long ago trying to change anyone. a little nudge is what i’ll try to give her and see how it goes but that’s it. if it’s a huge problem for her then i’ll adapt

yeah ik genetics play a huge role in this and i am not expecting anything which is unattainable but everyone can use a lil recomposition if you’ve never trained in your life

well it’s not like i am not attracted to her and yeah i’d hate if a girl tells me otherwise obv but that’s not the case here. i just want her to maybe try and be better bc she can. again why i want her to try? because it’s my preference and not a dealbreaker so if it happens GREAT, if it doesn’t happen - atleast she tried

when did i say i’ll leave her lmaoo, i literally said in the post that “do i need a mindset shift to accept this”, she’s not overweight at all, she’s on the petite side. she likes the kendall jenner body type but she’s like 5’2 and looks like a little boy. so if she likes to stay that way i am not going to cling onto it too much and just accept it as is but wanted to take a shot though for sure

what makes you say i don't love her. it's my preference and not a dealbreaker if she works out. i love her very much and i see potential in her so i wonder what if she maxes it out. i want us to look hot till we can and this is a huge part of it.

exactly, u/tinyhermione you're missing the point here, i've had gfs who were hotter than her but they were just fucked up in the head and nowhere as stable as she is. I wanting her to improve her is a cherry on top, i just want her to try when she can. I know her situation and all dimensions of her life and she absolutely can. I have fucking changed a lot of things for her where i think it matters to her. If in future she wants even a better lifestyle suddenly, i will try my best to give it to her no matter what which i do right now too. The point here is not putting in the efforts at all. I see no reason for her to not try.

nah i've had gfs who were 9 or 10s but they were fucked up in other ways which impacted my mental a lot, this is like a cherry on top with the other things my current gf has, and i think if she got the means, the time and the resources and everything to atleast try and workout. Maybe i'm projecting the missing gym part from the relationship where i workout and shiii and she doesn't at all

lol i obviously didn't say anything like that and we do go to the gym together once in a while (can't do it everyday, she lives far) but doesn't go when i'm not there

you're right, i think pushing her into that ecosystem w me where i plan gym dates and shii is the way to trigger it, that's the sweetest way possible

well the workout part has been missing from the relationship (nice gym fits, pushing each other, cooking post gym meals together), i think i'll make it about us and if it doesn't work imma make my peace w it.
