How to get gf into fitness?

Poke her mushy tummy like you would the Pillsbury dough boy, tell her it's cute her thighs jiggle like Jello. This will get her motivate I guarantee it. If it fails though try the cake out the car window trick previously mentioned
if anyone god damn did this to me, i kick them in the balls and tell them it's cute how it hurts them real bad.0 -
Not to derail this thread but if we're talking about girlfriends and weight already....
My girlfriend keeps looking at herself in the mirror and saying that she's so fat. I'm not sure how to respond to her when she says that. She's gained about 15 pounds in the 8 months we've been dating and is currently the heaviest she's ever been. I don't like the idea of lying to her to try and spare her feelings because that doesn't help anyone in the end. Last time she said that I told her that if she doesn't like it then she should do something about it. I'd love it if she came to the gym with me but that doesn't seem to interest her much so I've never pushed it. I'd like to encourage her but not be pushy about it. Any suggestions on how to respond when she does this?
TREAD LIGHTLY DUUUUUDE.
i mean if she's the one offering the "im fat" emotion, then be her buddy. just be like if you wanna try to come to the gym with me. we can spend more time together and i can show you some things to get started. dont you ever dare say she's fat or squishy.0 -

Or maybe try going hiking, walking, something outdoors. That's always nice instead of being in the gym where one feels insecure from the sight of all the nice bodies working out.0 -

I think if she wants to lose weight she'll do it when she's ready. In the meantime maybe you can ditch going to out eat so much and try to come up with activity dates - like hiking or bike riding, or maybe taking a fun zumba or spin class together.
It happens to almost everyone...those 15 pounds are called "love weight"

I don't think so. I see real potential in her. Just need to find a way to realize it...
Aren't you supposed to date someone for who they are now, not who they could maybe be in the future???

We already do stuff like this. We're going curling tomorrow morning, I'm trying to find a day to go out snowboarding, she seemed cool with snowshoeing next month. We got kayaks in the summer and take them up to her grandma's lake at least once a month (when it's not frozen). I'm more looking for advice (especially from girls) on how to respond when she complains about her weight.junelove89 wrote: »Not to derail this thread but if we're talking about girlfriends and weight already....

Love her how she is or find someone who's more into fitness. She needs to be the one asking to go to the gym, not the other way around.
If I was your girl, and read this post, I'd dump you and find a guy who enjoyed my squish.0 -

Ask her to workout with you. Tell her you love her company and she motivates you. You want to spend more time with her blah blah blah.

Haha, what if I say it like this? I shall call you Squishy and you shall be mine and you shall be my Squishy.
She's seen finding Nemo 100+ times so she might like that... or I might get hit. Worth the risk?
I like your snake btw.0 -

Its a whole other thing to get her into fitness because you think shes as you describe her "squashy chubbiness". Shallow fool, everyone is right she deserves better. Little bashful about it no wonder when guys like you cant see past it..

Well, then just tell her she won't see any results by complaining about it. It would be wonderful if we got what we wanted just by complaining instead of going out there and doing something about it. Maybe in a parallel universe... Maybe0 -

This^^^
If you're not attracted to her anymore then let her go find someone who will love her just the way she is.
If you say anything negative to her when she comments about her weight gain it's only going to make her feel worse and you'll get into a fight and that will be that.
Then you can meet someone else in one of the "person above you" threads.0 -

If someone tells me to get a haircut, I would be super offended. It's okay if asked for an opinion, but nobody likes unsolicited advise.0 -
