Boys, would you mind if your girlfriend suggested you work out more?

My boyfriend is adorable. I love him very much, and I'm fine the way he is. I know he's insecure with his body though. He's got toned legs from tennis, and he's not obese, he's just got a few extra pounds around his middle. I wouldn't mind if he tried getting toned too...you know..for me. Would you get mad if your girlfriend asked you to work out? If not, how could she ask you? If you think he would be offended, then I for sure wont, I just was wondering. I promise I'm not a b*tch lol thanks boys!

if your fine the way he is why would you tell him he needs to get toned...you know.....for you? i would be offended. my feelings would be hurt. you already know he's insecure about his body so having his girlfriend tell him she thinks his body needs to change is only going to make him feel worse.

i wouldnt mind...might feel alittle offended for being called fat but i wouldnt mind doing it for her

[torry]

Oh no! Okay, let me rephrase, like, how can I give him that little push he needs? Because I'm pretty sure he wants to, he just doesn't know how to go about it.

[tundravortex]

ahh try...ummm try saying your gonna leave him if he dont(you really dont)....i know thats a terrible idea but thats how most girls do it...its worth the try

I'd suggest against threatening to leave him.
Make it clear that you love him the way he is, and that you just want him to be happy with himself. Tell him that you'll help him or work out with him and you guys will get fit together or something like that.

If he wants to get "toned" then he'll try to do it himself, if someone really wants to do something, then they'll do it.

If you bring this up to him, he might be offended, and think you only care about his body, and not him.

So, the best thing to do, is nothing. And really, what's so important about being "toned" ?
There are more important things, aren't there?
This really shouldn't be important.

This really has nothing to do with puberty/sex ed. :locked:
