My boyfriend is 122 lbs at 5'9. How should I go about encouraging him to go to the gym?
He does a lot of outdoor sports like biking, and does pleb workouts like pushups and pullups, and eats well, and I love him regardless, but 120 is too low of a weight.
upon me telling him he should eat more or get a cheap gym membership he responds with "what's the point" and "muscles mean i have to eat more to maintain them and that's money" and "if i build muscle my arms are going to be heavier." help anons
Logan Martin
He’s got a point
Nolan Jackson
Bring home a fit guy and fuck him in the living room while your bf watches.
Nicholas Sanchez
forgot to add that we are not poor in any way so a bucket of whey wouldnt put a dent in our budget
Austin Walker
This works
Josiah Richardson
Sounds like you're dating a fucking chump who needs dumped.
Connor Wood
lol wtf, doesn't biking burn calories so he'd have to 'waste money' on eating more
Evan Torres
inject him with tren while he sleeps
Parker Evans
i love him though yeah maybe exactly why i told him to eat more. he bikes for fun though
Lucas Gray
He's a chump who's not going to change his lifestyle just to suit you. He's going to need some internal motivators.
Daniel Nelson
i dont want my bf turning into lenny but thanks
Aiden Johnson
like what? i go to the gym on the regular and talk about how good i feel to try and help it along
Jayden Smith
Kek sounds like you have doubts if you actually love him and are contemplating cheating anyway. Just do it you slut, you'll get a real man inside you, and hopefully it'll push him to actually stop being a fucking soyboy.
Jeremiah Sanchez
Your bf sounds like a faggot. Just start putting pics of Arnold and Columbo on your walls and look at them when y'all make love. But nah, at least put up the pictures and start referencing how much you admire that physique. Maybe he'll wake up and reach his potential
Dubs speak truth
Charles Perez
*Fucking Columbu goddamn mobile posting sucks
Jason Jenkins
Former biker here. Biking is more fun when you’re thin. Going up hills sucks when you’re big. Get him to switch to downhill mountain biking where weight doesn’t matter so much.
Thomas Miller
Just tell him how you feel, if you have a properly functioning relationship he should listen to you. Are attracted to the underweight manlet dyel look? Probably not. I'm assuming you already go to the gym. Take him with you. >my arms will be heavier Lamest fucking excuse. And maintaining more muscle absolutely does not have to cost more, just eat properly and sleep more. You know how to make gains, it can be cheap. And don't listen to he sounds like a cunt. Disloyalty deserves death.
Jordan Carter
you sound like you get friendzoned a lot bud
William Kelly
i don't mind him biking if he enjoys it, and i don't want him to become a 200 lbs pile of muscle, i'm talking like 20-30 lbs muscle gain, that shouldn't get too much in the way of it
Oliver Bell
>Disloyalty deserves death very true
and I just don't want to be harsh bringing it up. i like him for who he is so it doesn't bother me to an extreme extent, but it's upsetting, ngl. i appreciate the advice
Anthony Ortiz
30 lbs will get in the way of being a roadie or cross country mountain biker. Especially if any of it goes into his upper body.
One way to get him to switch to downhill is to tell him you want to do it and see if he can coach you.
Or you could just accept him for who he is.
Nathan Walker
Dump him. If he doesn't want to, you're just going to piss him off nagging. It won't make him lift. Being dumped is a great motivator. That might make him lift, it might not. Nagging won't help shit.
Jack Gutierrez
You can't. People who like endurance sports will never be convinced to gain weight by someone else, they value their performance in their sport too much. Dump him for a huge guy, he'll start lifting then, most likely, if he ever cared about you.
Lincoln Fisher
Bring up the subject of workin out and fitness and shit. Then at some point mention that lifting is tons of fun for you. Tell him you want him to try something new with you cuz its fun. If he complains about the expense and "pointless muscles", tell him having fun with you isnt pointless. If he refuses, say "Oh dont be a baby, cmon, you might just like it" and drag him to a gym as a guest.
Charles Hall
Guys I hope you know this is bait theres literally no way this is happening
Joshua Turner
>I don't want my boyfriend turning into lenny This isn't the board for you
Jack Morgan
Let him catch you watching trap porn and say you like that they have the same figure as him. Watch sport of some kind and point out how the muscly guys are hot. Say you want something soft but firm to hug not something bony and fat. Tell him to lift because you think it's hot.
Tyler Sullivan
>former faggot here No shit
Christopher Rogers
Break his heart and dump him . Best way to get someone to lift lololol
Then when he's jacked, take him back.
Profit
Zachary Hall
If you're stronger than him, that might motivate him.
Or you could ask him to go to the gym with you, assuming you lift.
Landon Williams
he is what motivates me to keep lifting, no gf needed
Tyler Cox
tell your man pipe up, i repeat, tell that nigga to pipe up
Hunter Ortiz
>If I build muscle my arms are going to be heavier
Why would you insist on being a stick mode DYEL? Tell him he would be sexier if he were more muscular.
Benjamin Perez
Just blow him when he comes back from the gym
Jaxon Price

Jordan Gutierrez
This post is quite true. Honour, respect, and commitment are male ideals that are alien concepts to women.
You should do what is natural to you and ignore those concepts and do what you want for your own personal pleasure, because is that not what is most important to you?
Isaiah Murphy
how fat are you that you're insecure about your bfs weight?
Juan Martinez
>trying to change your boyfriend's lifestyle to fit your ideals probably should have just picked someone bigger if his lack of size bothers you so much
Evan Fisher
>pleb workouts like pushups and pullups Reeeeee begone whore
Nathaniel Nelson
Say you will reward him with a bj after every workout
Daniel Carter
>pushups, pullups and cycling well it sounds like your bf has a healthy interest in his own fitness and doesn't have crippling body dismorphia like fit (the half of fit that lifts, anyway) so maybe just stop being a thot and accept that he's perfectly healthy as he is?
Jordan Sanders
Break his arm, call him a pussy a lot, maybe he will see how much of a faggot he is, then again maybe he will just cry
Charles Nguyen
He isnt getting fat, so i dont see your problem. Never expect to enter a relationship with a non fitness person and then get them into fitness.
Christian Williams
You could workout upper body for a month, and then try and arm wrestle him. When you nearly win he will be so bothered, he needs to start working out.
Henry Wilson
start lifting user
Easton Russell
Ask him to open a jar of pickles that he won't be able to open, if you catch my drift ;)
