Today, I just finished nearly a year of muscle-building in order to impress my crush. Turns out she doesn't date fit guys, because "they're all jerks". FML

Today, I was rejected by my crush at work, because I'm "too ripped." FML

Today, after waiting a year, I asked a coworker who I like to work out at the gym with me. She said yes. I figured this would be the perfect place to show off my body and impress her. In every exercise we did, she lifted more weights than I did. FML

Today, I've been an avid gym-goer since I was in high school. A year ago I convinced my girlfriend to start going to the gym with me and she had been sticking to it since. She has now has left me for a full-on fitness model she met there. He helped her start an online store, which is doing well. FML

Today, I was working out at the gym. A very attractive girl was watching me work out, so feeling like a stud, I tried to lift a really heavy weight. I failed, got trapped, and watched helplessly as she walked away laughing. FML

Today, while working out in the gym, I spotted a very attractive girl. I decided to pick up the heaviest dumbbell to show off how much I could curl. She ended up driving me to the hospital because I burst into tears after tearing up my bicep and deltoid. FML

Today, while at the gym, I started flirting with a hot doctor. I thought things were going well so I suggested we work out together sometime and maybe work our way up to dinner together, to which she replied, "Sorry but I've seen tumors bigger than your biceps," and then walked out. FML

Outclassed

Today, I had a gym date with a girl from Tinder. As soon as I saw her loading up the 45s, I knew I was in trouble. She could squat and leg-press over 100 lbs more than me on both. Somehow she let me come over that night anyway. I challenged her to a wrestling match to try and gain back my pride, then she made me tap out. FML

Today, I was at the school's rec center, working out for the first time in a while. While there, there was this very mysteriously attractive girl who kept shooting me glances. I asked for her number and she responded by saying "if you can lift this same weight as me". I couldn't. FML

Today, I'm in the best shape of my life after losing 2.5 stone over 2 years. I never got any female attention when I was overweight, so I was quite surprised when at the gym an attractive woman came over and started flirting with me. It was going great, until she said, "You'd be perfect if you had a dad bod". FML

Today, I realized my gym crush has only been smiling at me because I’ve been using the equipment completely wrong for weeks. FML

She's following a stereotype. But hey, at least now you're fit for all the ladies!

Tell her to make an exception. Not ALL guys are jerks.

That's what you get for assuming she'd be impressed by your fit body. Should've tried actually getting to know her first. But on the bright side you're in extra good shape now.

Well, I respect you for trying and putting so much work into it. But those who are commenting that you should have learned something about her first are right. It's not your fault she's shallow and assumes all fit guys are jerks, but if you'd observed her tastes beforehand, you could have avoided that obstacle. Either way, though, you earn mad respect from me for being so devoted to getting the girl you like. Most women would adore you for trying so hard. :)

Well, you've gotta admit that 95% of those jocks with 6 packs are conceited assholes, but I'm sorry for your loss. Find a girl who likes you for what you are, shouldn't be that hard now that you're in shape.
