Women prefer men who are physically fit.

Whether he goes to the gym to get physically fit or does so through a different means that has nothing to do with a gym, she doesn’t care all that much.

As long as he is physically fit.

A minority of women go to the gym religiously.

Although the idea of a guy who cares enough for his body to go to the gym regularly is admirable, it isn’t a prerequisite.

Unless she is a gym rat, she prefers not to date a guy whose identity is centered on gym life.

As far as she is concerned, a guy who spends too much time in the gym is too concerned with himself.

Under such circumstances, she would feel neglected by him and not prioritized.

A girl wants to believe that she is a priority to a guy she is dating.

On top of this, when he spends so much time in the gym, she worries about the prospect of him cheating on her with a girl he sees at the gym on a regular basis.

Although he invites her to come to the gym with him, she knows that he is fully aware that she is in no way as dedicated to going to the gym as he is.

Ergo, he knows that even if she accepts his request and goes to the gym with him, she won’t last long.

Sooner rather than later, he will be headed to the gym on his own again, as she would be incapable of keeping up with him.

She would much rather that he spend at least as much time with her as he does at the gym, and preferably more.

None of this is to say that she doesn’t love the fact that he cares so much about his health and taking care of his body that he goes to the gym.

But for a girl who isn’t a gym rat, the lifestyle of a guy who is consumed with going to the gym can feel lonely.

Moreover, when she is with him hanging out, she sees him admiring his physical gains as though she isn’t there.

This comes off as though he is more into himself than he is her, making her feel less attractive.

All of this being said, there is nothing wrong with you going to the gym.

Women do appreciate men who stay fit and maintain it, whether it be through a gym, diet, or some other way.

She simply wants you to prioritize her too.

Guys who go to the gym have a habit of deprioritizing a girl once they have won her over as a girlfriend.

As his newly minted girlfriend, she realizes that he isn’t paying her as much attention as he was when he was courting her.

This is often where her unhappiness begins.

It is not in the fact that you go to the gym; it’s in how you are no longer giving her the kind of attention you were when you were courting her.

Now that you have her, you have turned your attention back to going to the gym with much more frequency, leaving her feeling not only neglected by your physical absence but neglected emotionally as well.

When these two areas are being neglected in a relationship, it doesn’t take long for a girl to lose feelings and fall out of love with her boyfriend.

There is nothing wrong with you going to the gym.

Just be careful you don’t do it to such an extent that you stop prioritizing her.
