Well i try to do some exercises and i make sure to walk every day. but its not much i just do pushups against my coffee table for a few minutes a day but i do make sure to do it every day no matter what. i got a little bit stronger from this but i am still very weak compared to most men and i have been doing it for over 1 year. i should spend many hours working out but i can't handle that i am too lazy.
and while i like to walk. in the last few months the weather has been so shit and the sun goes down quickly. i only walk 15 minutes a day on average while in the summer i would walk for hours and i noticed my legs where hardened from it. but even in the summer you sometimes have rainy periods like one day i was far from home when there was a sudden thunderstorm not fun. a lot of people do jogging but that does not look fun to me. i also like to mostly eat vegetable soup with some bacon and i also eat a lot of tuna but multiple times a week i get invited to mc Donald's by my friends. so i stay slightly overweight. i have always been a picky eater i never eat fruit and i only like vegetables when they are in soup for some reason.
I'm actually surprised that there are any "no" answers whatsoever. I figured that since this is a website dedicated to muscular, strong women, that everybody here would be into that.
I also call BS on the one "I am a woman and want to date a weaker man." Some dude with a fetish definitely answered that.
Yep, I train 5 days a week with a little bit of a nutrition focus. Not too strict though or I'd go crazy. I just do it because it feels good, and it's a good separation from work and stress. Very meditative.
I usually train with my girlfriend she goes to the gym almost everyday but I got sick 3 times in a row and lost all the gains so im not really going anymore since I also have a lot of work and I dont really enjoy it I really only did it to feel better about myself but Ive overcome my depression and Im finally happy with myself!
Congratulations! I know that depression can be a very difficult struggle. I hope that you maintain your joy and happiness.

Can male bodybuilders be schmoes or does their muscular lifestyle preclude them from this designation?
I would say yes to that. Again, definition of a schmoe. If you are a bodybuilder and date normally an FBB, I would not say he is a schmoe. As soon as he starts sessioning with other FBB's and is not in a relationship with them / pays for services and time, surely he is a schmoe?

Everyone has different tastes, for sure, but I do think that having the same lifestyle greatly increases one's chances of landing a FBB.
That said, I've dated plenty of muscular women and I've only a slightly above average build. I was athletic in my youth, but I kinda let things go since then. But I've never dated a competitive FBB.
Absolutely. Particularly now, as many men would find it hard to have an FBB partner, but also understand the session world that their partner will probably still use to fund their sport. Unless he is finantially able to fund her, of course.
You don't have to be a gym buff to have an FBB wife
No kidding. My FBB friend is married to a professional guy who wears sports jackets, never works out (but is a work a holic) and eats McDonalds. Of course many / most marry into partners with a similar lifestyle, but for some, that is not the criteria they are looking for. Fact. However, most guys who don't work out would not cope with the totally selfish attitude of an FBB, or any sports person who has to think only of themselves in order to compete at a high level.
I also remember a TV show where Louis Theroux followed bodybuilders around and interviewed them and explored the whole muscle fetish world (Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends (1998) - Body-Building). One guy was interviewed and again, an average guy who didn't work out and his wife was a pro bodybuilder. Opposites do attract, even in the world of FBB. Some women want a guy who is not into their body as much as they are in to theirs. And long may that be!
And again, like I said in my original post, they are the exception, and not the norm. That also includes your fbb friend.
I also know a bodybuilder who just earned her pro card and is married to a non-athletic guy, but they were married before she started bodybuilding.

Here's what I've seen as the norm on this website when it comes to FBBs and their significant others ... the dude is clearly jacked:
Lol where is the option for "I am a woman and want to date a stronger man"? Or "it doesn't matter?"
Because for me, it doesn't matter. I lift and I am quite strong, but what matters for me is being with someone who also is into lifting, regardless of whether she is stronger or weaker than me.
Forgot that option. If it doesnt matter than tjis isnt your poll then
You don't have to be a gym buff to have an FBB wife
Don't kid yourself. Yeah, you don't need to a bodybuilder yourself, but there's a reason why fit women usually get with fit men. It's about sharing a similar lifestyle. When you're that dedicated in the gym, in your diet, and in your recovery, having a partner who doesn't share in those things can lead to an enormous amount of strain (I've heard stories from fit and muscular women who have tried dating non-fit guys, but usually they complain about how much time they spend at the gym, or what they have in the house for meals, or that they can't always go out for drinks and crappy food, etc.) And yes, while there are couples out there where the guy is significantly less fit than his partner, they are the exception, not the norm. Want a fit woman? Get involved in your fitness community.>>

Need an option for "I am married to a woman who is much stronger than me"
Well yea that is my dream.

I’ve been really impressed with Emily Schubert lately, she’s been bulking up and I wonder which division she’s going to compete in next season.
Probably lol
Yep, I train 5 days a week with a little bit of a nutrition focus. Not too strict though or I'd go crazy. I just do it because it feels good, and it's a good separation from work and stress. Very meditative.

I train some just to keep from falling apart as I age. But I'm lazy AF

If you train, what are your motivations?
And if you don't, why not?
