Today, I was at the gym with my boyfriend. He is a bit feminine, but it has never really bothered me. Until I realised I was lifting heavier weights than he was. FML

Today, at the gym, a guy yelled at me to stop lifting more than his son, because I was embarrassing him by being a girl and lifting more. His son must have been 15 and I almost qualified for the Olympics, but sure I’ll hold back to spare the feelings of a misogynistic 15 year-old little bitch. FML

Today, at the gym, my boobs were jiggling more than the girl next to me. This would be a good thing, if I wasn't a guy. FML

Today, I went to the new gym I recently signed up for and started exercising in the men-filled weights room, despite being intimidated by them and the strange looks they were giving me. Workout over, I left the room and saw in front of me a door marked, "Women's weights room." Oh. FML

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the gym for the first time. I knew I was in bad shape, but I bet her that I could lift more than her. Not only did I get my ass handed to me by a 5', 115lbs girl in front of the entire gym, I also have to attend Zumba in bright pink spandex. 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, I was feeling down because I always think that I'm overweight. My boyfriend tried to prove me wrong by lifting me up. I threw his back out. FML

Today, I sold some weights that were way too heavy for me on Craigslist. I felt okay with not being able to lift them when I saw the other man, who was a pretty buff dude; that is until of course he informed me he was buying them for his wife. FML

Today, I noticed that I've been gaining some weight. Don't worry, my boyfriend doesn't mind. His new favorite thing is putting my boobs on his head and saying he feels "safe". FML

Today, at the gym, a very attractive lady was working out in front of me, wearing tiny shorts that left zero to the imagination. I kept trying to avert my gaze, until her extremely buff boyfriend came over and threatened me. My crime? I wasn’t checking out his girl enough. FML

Today, while I was at the gym, I saw a guy walk into the girls locker room. I was walking nearby so I said, "Hey man, that's the wrong one." Turns out it was just a very masculine-looking woman, with a very masculine haircut. FML

So? Does that mean he's less of a man? It's just weights. it's not like he's going to lose his balls and you're going to gain them.

I use to be able to lift more weights than my ex, whom was also feminine, but he turned out to be gay... I was 15 when I could lift more than him, he was 16. Soooo lol

Actually #144, the fatter you are the smaller your little winky is. The skinner you are the bigger your winky is. But if you get too skinny, your winky will get smaller again, too

I seriously can't see where the FML could possibly be in this.

This is both a FYL and YDI. FYL: Personally I like my BF to be stronger. I am quite a workaholic in the gym myself and am lean, so when I had an ex (tall and skinny) who was not able to lift me up properly I felt quite dissapointed. Though there are loads of women out there who wouldn't mind a guy like yours in this case, OP. You deserve it though since you accepted it. Did he never lift you up or tried to? Did you not notice it in any way? I know I would have!

This is the STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard. Lift you up? Wow, god forbid someone not lift you up like in a stupid movie and swing you around. Not everything is a movie. This is not even something that should BOTHER you. So what if you are lean! Wow, you're in shape. You most likely have muscle, which weights three times the amount of fat. Woopdydoo. You are retarded.

Op, stop being so shallow. I hate people like you. You liked him before he lifted weights what changed now? Just because he doesn't live up to the typical "man"? Well he could say you are freakish and mannish and not want to date you.

Wow what's wrong with that? If you're not gonna appreciate him the way he is (unless he has a bad personality) then stop wasting his time. So what, my bf and I are nearly equal in terms of strength and I never tell him "be a man, what kind of man isn't stronger than his gf". Girls, stop expecting guys to be overly manly and guys, stop expecting girls to do your work for you. Both sides are to blame. Not in this situation specifically, but still.
