Geschatte leestijd: 3 minutenWith all the fuss about ‘the fit girl,’ you might almost think it’s some strange breed. That’s not entirely unjustified. If, for example, as a man, you’re very attracted to a flat stomach and powerful legs and buttocks, know that there are a few conditions for a successful relationship with a fit girl.
You’re ready for a relationship with a fit girl if…
For clarity; I myself am married to someone who has absolutely nothing to do with fitness but is incredibly lucky with good genes. All the benefits, but none of the drawbacks. So, in terms of personal experience, I have no idea what it means not to be the most fanatic athlete in the house. No idea what it’s like to have to fight over the last scoop of protein or to decide whose turn it is for babysitting and who gets to go to the gym.
If you both have a passion for fitness, there is at least an understanding of each other’s motivation, although it can mean some practical problems. If you have nothing to do with fitness yourself, that presents a whole different set of possible obstacles.
In both cases, you may wonder if a relationship with a fit girl is right for you. The checklist below may help you with that.
If you don’t mind that her quads are bigger than yours
I mention bigger legs here because the chance of that happening in practice is quite high. But the same applies, of course, to a tighter stomach, better condition, and a higher 1RM max during the squat. If you don’t know what a 1RM max is, you’re definitely not ready for a fit girl.
If you’re willing to become a full-time photographer with one model
Instagram and Facebook don’t fill themselves, and selfies don’t exactly come across as professional. So, if you’re in a relationship with a fit girl, it’s handy if you don’t mind sharing her pride with the world and aren’t bothered by liking horny guys.
If you don’t mind letting your holiday destination be determined by the presence of a gym
You: “But honey, it’s vacation. Can’t you take a break?”
Her: “But babe, this is the opportunity to take beautiful photos of me in my bikini on a tropical beach. In my best shape, of course. Why else do you think we’re going on vacation?”
If you love Brinta and oatmeal and know that Chia has nothing to do with Transformers
Because you spell the name of that actor with an ‘s.’ Look, if you’re in a relationship with a fit girl, you don’t necessarily have to be a fit boy yourself. However, it helps if you can empathize a bit with her world. It also saves a lot of arguments during breakfast about the wrong macros of that sausage roll you’d rather eat.
If you don’t mind replacing all your crockery with Tupperware
That breakfast itself is, of course, served in a Tupperware container since your girlfriend thinks the whole concept of crockery is nonsense. Real fit girls prep and stand in the kitchen on Sundays to prepare meals for the whole week. So why bother scooping all those containers of food onto a plate every time? For fit girls, food comes in containers and drinks come in shaker cups.
So it is written….
If you understand that creatine is not an anabolic steroid and your kidneys won’t explode if you supplement your protein needs with shakes
Speaking of shakes; Your girlfriend probably already deals with ignorance from friends and colleagues often enough, resulting in silly questions. For example, “Won’t that make you infertile?” when she adds a teaspoon of creatine to her orange juice. Or nagging about the dangers of a high intake of protein. Those typical questions asked by people who’ve heard the milk sloshing but don’t know where to find the teat.
A fit girl will always have to deal with ignorance and people asking stupid questions about her lifestyle. Sometimes out of genuine concern, but often to justify their own lack of exercise and healthy eating. Such a super athletic person can work as a confronting mirror on others. It’s nice if you, as a partner, stand by your girlfriend’s side and don’t add to the ignorance, insecurity, and envy of others.
If you know the difference between FIBO and FEBO
It’s also good to know that your partner has now entered ‘the scene’ and may shift her beauty ideal as a result. We also call that ‘FIBO vision’.
In the best-case scenario, she comes back from a visit to the famous fitness fair in Cologne and is inspired by well-known fit girls there. Then it means she comes back even more driven at most. If you have nothing to do with fitness yourself, you can only hope that her ‘FIBO vision’ is limited to her ideal image of the woman.
