He Told His Girlfriend She Should Go To The Gym If She’s Unhappy With How Her Body Looks Compared To Other Women, And She’s Offended
Just last year, this guy began going to the gym, and he fell in love with it. Nowadays, working out is his favorite hobby. He also feels healthier and more confident and really believes he looks better.
His girlfriend, on the other hand, does not enjoy working out. She has gone with him to the gym to give it a try, but she simply did not like it.
And even though he didn’t want to push the gym on her, he did admit that it would make him happy to share the hobby with her and improve themselves together.
Anyway, since he is super into fitness, he follows a bunch of fitness influencers on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. And some of them just so happen to be women.
He claims that the majority of creators he follows are male and that he does not follow any female fitness influencers for any shady reasons.
“I just think any muscular physique is interesting, and it introduces me to more workouts that I will sometimes incorporate into my routine,” he reasoned.
But yesterday morning, he and his girlfriend were lying in bed while he scrolled through TikTok on his phone.
And eventually, one female fitness influencer– who was talking about her leg day routine– popped up on his For You Page (FYP).
At that point, he just scrolled past the initial video. But then, within a matter of five minutes, four additional female influencers popped up on his FYP, who were all showing off their bodies. And he recalled how the videos were essentially just displaying the women’s behinds.

So, his girlfriend saw, and she made a remark about how crazy it was that the women’s bodies looked so good. His girlfriend also said she would love to have a similar build. Now, he claimed to have thought his girlfriend’s remark was a “hint” suggesting that she would want to work out more at the gym.
“So I said that if she wanted a body like that, she could start working out and that doing a lot of glute and leg exercises could give her the results she wants,” he explained. “I also suggested that we could find her a trainer or, if she wants, it could just be us.”
While he genuinely got excited to share his hobby with his girlfriend, though, she just got very offended and angry that he suggested she try out the gym.
In fact, his girlfriend got so upset that she left their bedroom and hung out in the living room for the rest of the morning. Then, once he asked what was wrong, his girlfriend admitted that he had made her feel bad about her body. In the end, she also left his house to head back to her place– leaving him alone when they were supposed to spend the day together.
“I feel confused. I really don’t see what I was doing wrong, and I feel like she kind of flew off the handle for no reason,” he vented.
Regardless, he’s now been left wondering whether telling his girlfriend to go to the gym if she’s unhappy with her body was a jerky thing to do.
Do you think his girlfriend was really looking for suggestions on how to improve her body? Or does it seem like she would have benefitted more from reassurance from her boyfriend? If you had been in his girlfriend’s shoes, would you have gotten upset? How can he reconcile this situation?
