Or, you know, maybe they feel insecure about their appearance and want to look and feel better for their current SO.

Or maybe I'm just crazy. I probably wouldn't date someone who doesn't exercise or at least walk or bike most places.

Some SOs get suspicious if you get healthy, have friends or seem too happy. They believe that if life is too good then you'll dump their insecure clingy ass.

Me neither. A poor diet is a deal breaker for me. People that eat crap and don't exercise tend to smell and be slovenly with low sexual appetites.

Welp, looks like it is time to tell my husband I gotta kick his ass to the curb because MailOnline says I obviously lost that 32lbs for someone else - not for my own health or anything silly like that.

Damn shame, he is really cute too.

i dont know what you are talking about. im lazy and eat like crap, and i STILL masturbate at least daily.
 
2011-11-08 12:55:17 AM
Yep, that's it. Not at all the fact that I'm 31 and terrified of heart attacks. Nope, it has nothing to do with me wanting to live long enough to maybe meet my grandchildren and everything to do with the fact that a girl who doesn't realize I'm not good enough for isn't good enough for me.

Conversely, if you are gaining weight, your also about to become an ex-SO.
 
2011-11-08 12:55:37 AM
Holy crap, this is pretty accurate for my last relationship O_o

It all makes sense now.

And guys, the article is not talking about people who always excercize, but people who usually don't then suddenly start doing it? Yeah, you're about to get dumped because her hot new ass wants to upgrade.

Any significant change in activities means this.

I did it because I knew that having constant low-grade back pain was no way to go through life, and maybe to give my wife the idea that getting heavier every year and slowly turning into an invalid was no way for her to go through life.

And now she's the one who's leaving.

33lbs would've removed a bit more doubt...

I didn't lose weight because I wanted to leaver her. I didn't even mean to lose weight, it's just that meth does that.

/didn't realize how much teeth actually weighed.

I thought he divorced me because of the cancer, but i guess it was just because I lost all that weight. He must have thought I was cheating. And that's why I still love him anyway--he's so sensitive.

This explains that chick I've seen at the gym for the last couple of years... time to make my move!

I'm all for this. I know more happy people who exercise on a regular basis than the opposite. If you can't get off your ass for something like your own health and happiness then perhaps your SO is aware of the bigger picture.
 
2011-11-08 01:13:06 AM
OMG, it is true
my wife used to go to the gym and then Bang 15 years later she up and left me.

I am married but have been working out recently, too. We should have a fling together, just to prove this study doubly correct.

more wisdom from the Daily Mail? didn't you guys get in a froth the other day about smart women having to settle for dumb men? are there new female mods at Fark?

Many ladies I have known that have gotten a boob job have gotten a divorce shorty after.
Similar principal to the article I think.

I don't know, I've had some pretty horrid diets in my day with little exercise (although work at the time would probably be more exercise than most people that spend an hour a day in the gym could handle) and I'm pretty damn sure my sexual appetite has been insatiable since the day I realized Mary Jane Rottencrotch across the class was fascinating to look at.

That's just me though, and nobody would ever tell you I'm the pillar of sanity in the room.....

My SO has told me several times she doesn't want me to lose weight because she doesn't want other women to try to steal me. Which basically means I'm fat and unattractive now, but she's used to it. She's pretty good with the reverse psychology, I've lost 10 lbs since the first time she told me this.

Some people say that my hardcore drug use and all the stolen stuff, kids into sex slavery, etc, made me a bad person, and she could sense that I guess. Much the same way that people prolly understood your cancer made you a bad person.

Just glad the Mail Online is there, yo.

Sounds like it's time to break out the fried pickles. That'll show her!

The real hint that your SO is fooling around is that he/she suddenly buys a lot of new underwear.

I read a story about a correlation between boob jobs and suicide. Not causal, though. Just saying if you're that insecure and desperate to feel loved, it damn well better get you the attention you want or you just have no reason left to live.

/disagree, I likes 'em in all varieties.

Wife would do that every once in a while when Target had a big sale on granny panties.

I never gave it a second thought.

There's a lot of people out there who could have sex but would rather masturbate because sex is too much exercise. That and the crushing and sweating.

My wife knew she was okay. I can't tolerate the snobbish arrogance of people at the gym.

Luckily a lot of computers are prostitutes. Pretty easy to buy one.

I lost ~30lbs through doing a bit more exercise and eating ridiculously well because I wanted to make sure my type 2 diabetes didn't crop up again. The ex refused to stick to anything but constantly would said "I'm ready to stick to losing weight". Each time it was bullshiat and I've stopped listening to her when she says she'd like to go on a hike.

Currently her ankle hurts and I'm sure it probably does due to being a good 100lbs overweight. Gotta move to lose weight which will fix the problem. Fixed my ankle and hip pains though I had to endure the pain while exercising - within limits of course.

To be fair I am kinda busting my hump over this cute little number who actually can give me a run for my money intellectually. Holy damn.

Still ok to buy them for her though right ?

// keep tearing them off, oops

My SO of 3 years and I actually met at the gym, so we had that common ground already. Too many days away from the gym makes me feel off-center; going to work out actually helps my mood (endorphins, avoiding depression, etc.).

But yeah, before the health-consciousness, I was in a few relationships that fell apart when I actually aspired to make something of myself, and the now-ex felt threatened.
 
2011-11-08 01:41:56 AM
My gf recently broke up with me an hour after my rear axle snapped on my car and I had to fight to not meet Mr. Telephone Pole because (this is an informed guess) I wasn't spending enough money on her despite making less than 1/4 what she makes so I'm getting a kick ...

/she didn't know, but I was getting sick of her bullsh*t anyway.
//lesson learned.
///yes I'm a f*cking loser who made many bad decisions and I am paying for them now, both financially and karmatically. I'm OK with all of this and am working to be a better person

APE992: I am kinda busting my hump

how many humps do you need ?

APE992: can give me a run

Good reason to .....

// wait I gotta go, 26 minutes etc....

I've been going to the gym most of my life, my SO never goes.

I love him just the same.
 
2011-11-08 01:43:44 AM
My body is better than Brad Pitt's because I have been hitting the gym regularly and HARD since 03. My wife lets me date other women, so I have no intention of leaving her.

In fact, I need to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

You already are

// still technically a loser but - you are a better person than you were before, thats a winner to some..... now go hit the gym
 
2011-11-08 01:48:31 AM
its true, my ex started working out and actually working on appearing attractive when she was interested in someone else.

kinda glad it worked out that way.... if her pattern holds, she'll be fat and boring for her new boyfriend/husband right about now.
 
2011-11-08 01:49:50 AM
If your SO joins the gym and doesn't ask YOU to join as well then you know. Seen it happen just this past few months.

Can't afford a gym. But I do push-ups and sit-ups every morning and try to remind myself that I'm still alive and that is great. Had I been on the highway when the axle snapped ...

Plus ... I think the best time to be dumped is after a "holy sh*t I could be dead right now so therefore I really don't give a goddamn" experience; I'd recommend trying it if you enjoy not having a car, clean laundry or groceries for a week.

/is it bad that I was dumped and I really don't give a goddamn and don't want to care about an exit interview? Does this make me a bad person?
