| | Would you be into a guy who constantly works out?Page 1 of 4 (1, 2, 3, 4) | This thread is for my friend who doesn't have internet access. He pretty much works out all the time. He works out in his gym everyday, only eats certain foods at certain hours, doesn't go out late, doesn't drink booze. He still lives with his parents. He's hitting his early 30's and working out and having muscles is pretty much his entire existance.
Is being that dedicated a turn off? He has no aspirations of competiting and doesn't work (his parents are loaded.... hence he owns his own gym) but is a really cool guy. Would his situation turn you away? | |

So yeah, he doesn't work at all. He's got money he inherits and for now he lives with his parents for free. Is this so bad for him? | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 6:07:44 PM | hell that would turn me off being friends with him, let alone recommending anyone to date him. How much did his parents pay you to say he is a really cool guy. Sounds like a spoiled little rich kid to me.
edit : I knew a spoiled little rich kid before, and he hasn't grown up and taken responsibility for his life, despite having a kid of his own. It's sad. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 6:13:57 PM | dave, tell your friend i don't see anything wrong with that. if he's looking to date as well then he should look for someone that's also interested in working out in a gym. sure, the fact that he still lives with his parents might bother some women but then again, there's always an advantage to some people's ways of thinking. that fact that you said that he's going to inherit everything once his parents pass on is one thing. he has his personal gym already set up at one location, why buy his own place and have to move the equipment again only to decide on what he's gonna do come that time.
i wouldn't turn a guy like that away. i dated a guy that was a body builder when i was in high school. the only problem i had with him is he left things get to his head....he swore because he had more muscle that he can take on someone half his size.......ugggg, how immature he was. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 6:18:42 PM | | Nah, anyone at that age who is only obsessed with one hobby and mooches off of his parents when he has the ability to take care of himself isn't going to be someone I'll flock to. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 6:21:58 PM | Sometimes when your parents help a lil to much, it is hard to cut the strings, I wonder why he doesn't want to leave though...maybe by the time he hits 40 he might want to get out on his own...
...putting that aside I think that that sounds pretty darn healthy to me(the exercising and nutritional choices), and if he's healthy and happy with his choies , then cheers to him...as for being a turn-off, its all baout how a man holds himself and his confidence level..if hes content and confident then he'll make that impression... | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 6:31:19 PM | Is this a turn off? Absolutely.
He has no desire to get a job, simply for the challenge of it?
I couldn't care less if he makes $6.00 an hour, but he should be working. He should be an adult and have adult responsibilities.
If he is living with his parents, regardless if they are "loaded" or not....he should be contributing in some way. | |

OP - Good for him that he is working out his body - but is he working out his brain at all. That's important to a lot of women
As far as I know he didn't even complete highschool. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 7:00:53 PM | Ok he hasnt completed HS he lives with his parents , he doesnt have a job . But he spends basically all day in the gym and eating healthy.
Hmmmmmm, he sounds rather lonely did he have any siblings or friends growing up ? Did he used to get teased about his looks when he was younger. You gotta look more into what drives this man too be so isolated from society and trapped in his word of self protection. In my opinion he sounds afraid to step outside his comfort zone and experience life as what we call normal life.
He needs too learn to focus on other things in his life or could be in his life . Do you know if he has any desires other then being couped up alone like he is ?? Have you talked too him about the things that inspired him besides working out .
I am not saying working out is bad I for one have taking it up recently but I still focous on the bigger things in life and enjoy all that is around me . I absorb life to its fullest and do not shelter myself behind walls .
Seriousally find out what motivates him into just being a hermit too his gym and not going out to take care of his own needs instead of having others apparently do for him. He is a grown man and should had been learnign long time ago about how to take care of himself.(other then eating healthly or keeping a fit body) | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 7:08:07 PM | | His parents are "loaded" and HE DOESN'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS and can't AFFORD his own place or LIVES WITH HIS PARENTS. What a mammas boy.....What a turn-off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 7:15:19 PM | I think some of you are against exercising. It wouldn't matter if this guy was on his own with a job, which I think are valid concerns.
OP if your friend is so good, he should have become a personal trainer or something more important that is related to it. He has his own equipment. Maybe he can check out his local Y and volunteer to help other members in the weight area.
Why don't you suggest it to him ?
It is never too late for him to finish high school and go to college or whatever. | |

His parents are "loaded" and HE DOESN'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS
I chose to ignore this at first, but it's true. My parents aren't loaded, nor do they even use the internet, nor can they get highspeed (seriously 26K dial up, unless they went for satalitte, which wouldn't make sense for the amount they don't use it), but they still have internet access. Does he have a cell phone, you can get phones where you can have full access that way too. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 7:18:42 PM | | He sounds like a trust fund baby.... he's a product of his upbringing because you say he has inheritence and doesn't have to work..... if the money doesn't run out then he probably will never work and won't be able to manage things on his own... so he'll have a trust officer after Mom & Dad are gone doling out monthly dispursements... sigh... someone will be attracted... but if the well runs dry? mmmm not so much... hard to say here... but OCD can drive others around you nuts and he'd have to look away from the mirror to see the girl he's dating... | |

He don't have the internet because he don't like computers.

Posted: 5/19/2008 7:38:30 PM | | It wouldn't interest me at all. If I'm going to date someone I want someone I can actually spend time with on a regular basis, go out and have a few drinks with, go out for dinner, etc etc. A gym rat like your friend won't have the time to spend with me nor would he like doing the things I like doing. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 7:42:35 PM | i personally don't see anything wrong with his routine....atleast he has self discipline. i don't drink alcohol, so his lifestyle with be ok with me. my bf used to work out a lot, and until now, sometimes he gets picky with his food. i personally don't see anything wrong with living with his parent at that age (granted, that's because of my culture), BUT, i am turned off by the fact that he's not working.
sure he has rich parents who can support him, but the idea that at his age, he still leaches off of them to survive...quite childish. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 7:42:36 PM | Methinks this whole thread is a joke.
*shrugs*
Makes no sense.
If true, no I would not be interested in that dude... not because he likes working out (that is actually a good thing) but because he sounds like an obsessed, ignorant, lazy, selfish, spoiled baby... And, I ain't play with such.
