    It’s a bit of both. I can see these hobbies leading to a healthy relationship, but anyone who thinks the answer isn’t “hit the gym” is coping.

    (Btw I’m no gym rat, but this is a fact)

      Hitting the gym can’t hurt but it’s very low on my list of priorities.

      Being chill, open with one’s emotions, able to communicate reasonably, willing to help around etc are way higher.

      Usually being a woman helps too but life’s life.

      As someone who does hit the gym, in my experience the majority of people you’re impressing with your physique are men. Sure I’d say most women like it if you have it (assuming you aren’t too big), but generalising that it’s the main attraction would be a mistake.

        Anyone who has been around actual gym rats knows that it’s never the opposite sex they are chatting, comparing and posing with.

      I’d put “hit the dermatologist” above it. Plenty of girls go for the skinny or husky builds. But blemishes are a universal turn off
