If you have an amazing body you are clearly OBSESSED

    Passionate people are neat, whatever they're passionate about.

    I've never had an amazing body, but I've always been obsessed about whatever physical activity floats my boat at the time. I've also been obsessed about videogames, cooking, ferments.. any of my hobbies. My mate has the same passionate personality type, so we do well together. He's currently on learning chinese, following the way of the dao and windmill design. I'm currently on weight lifting and science fiction novels. Sometimes he works out with me, and sometimes I practice a little tai chi and don't tease him too badly about the stupid windmills.

    I will say I rather like when he's obsessed about his body, though. Whatever pheromone men release post workout is absolutely marvelous.

    For some might turn an obsession, and for others is a chosen lifestyle. Like choosing a career path. But you cannot put both in the same category of people. The same with girls. There are girls obsessed at looks, but there are other girls who just want to pursue an healthy life. I like the word devotion that you mentioned.

    bahahahahaha!

    It takes a lot of mental and physical dedication and commitment to get an amazing body. I don't think I'd mind being with someone like that at all.

    Obsess is a word the lazy use :D... <--- love that phrase... Honestly I've been called conceited, obsessed and all that just because I refuse to go backwards and the only way to keep from going backwards is to keep moving and keep counting. I'm no where near a ripped toned body yet, but I am working hard at it. I'm called conceited because I've for once in my life love myself enough to take care of myself before anyone else besides my kids. I'm obsessed because if it isn't in my daily plan, I refuse it and people think I should let my hair down and indulge, but I have a food addiction and if I do this all the time I will be back to where I started.

    @OP - its depends on the person, and I believe that it is related to a self esteem issue..... for me, I have never cared about appearance and trained, lifted, and excercised for MMA competitions. Recently, I have been dieting for an office competition. I have known people at the gym (male and female) that are consumed with looking good. Great bodies, but not much else to offer....

    I find it incredibly sexy for a man to work hard enough on his body to get into the single digit body fat range. It's not so much the aesthetic factor (although that is a great bonus) as the fact that he is so dedicated to SOMETHING (something beneficial, I should add). I am attracted to people who have goals and ambition and who are not satisfied with being average.

    As to whether or not I think it's obsessive, I would only consider it obsessive if it got to a point where it was majorly interfering with our relationship. For example, if we could never go out and do normal "couple" activities because he was afraid he might be pressured to eat something with sugar in it, then yeah, that's obsessive. But if it's just an issue of eating a very strict diet and having a very strict training schedule, no, I do not consider that obsessive.

    Obsessed would mean that basically nothing outside of having an amazing body mattered. Family, love life, job, etc. wouldn't matter.

    Regular dudes are better in bed.

    Just an observation. :wink:

    But yeah I have friends who lift and look amazing and such, but it kind of gets exhausting to hear them talking about 'mirin', lifting and creatine ALL THE TIME. I work out 5-6 days a week, but I have other things to talk about too -.-. So yeah, I'd say the ones I've met are superrrr obsessed

    @nickyfm - the same likewise for woman. Most people think that I date the model type, but I prefer a "curvy" female body.

    I think there is definitely a happy-medium. Caring about your health and fitness is a very admirable and attractive quality. It also shows the ability to be disciplined and self-motivated - more sexy qualities.

    Where it becomes unhealthy imo is when it interferes with other priorities in his life. Compulsively exercising, trying to control what everyone else eats or does/being overly critical.

    I guess for me the sexy body is just a bonus, give me an ambitious, manly mind. :love:

    Perfect!

    I feel, that people go through seasons.

    I have never known a person who is ALWAYS cut and ALWAYS eating healthy. Throughout life, or weight and bodies will change with the seasons. If your most important qualification in a man is a great body, than I'm sorry to say, at some point you will be disappointed. That great body may tear a hamstring, break a bone, or suffer some other injury that limits mobility- resulting in less muscle mass etc.

    So, obsession is one thing. Being muscular and fit is a lifestyle choice. If you chose it, and want someone who choses it also, then do! You should have a partner that is at pace with you, whatever that pace is.

    Personally, I'm not into the meat head, or gym rat. :) My man is fit and gorgeous, but he has a neck and shoulders that can fit through most doors. To each their own.

    i agree with OP its true i actually would want a man who is above average in body fat..... i do not like guys who work out or diet... unless its sports and such..... but its kinda annoying when guys become obsessed.... also when girls become obsessed.. its nice for a female to still eat what she wants without feeling guilty over it....

    this is absolutely false. there is a distinction between bros and other hardcore lifters. your friends are bros. bros are known to be terrible in bed as well.


    and before you deny they are bros...know this: only bros and new lifters talk about creatine. once you move beyond the bro stage...you move beyond creatine as well. go to any serious bodybuilding site. there is nearly no discussion of creatine or any other over the counter supps....lol ;)

    as for my opinion on all this, no person ever became the best at what they do without being 'obsessed'. this applies to every aspect in life.

    i like a fit guy but not necessarily buff. I am too obsessed with my own body. It sounds weird, but the only body that i care about is mine.
