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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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 went out on a second date with this girl, who touched my bicep when I told her I haven't been to the gym since a long time. She asked me to flex it, I did, and it remained the same size. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like if you were that into her, you could have conversed and figured out what her likes and dislikes are..

This. How do you spend a year committed to something for a person without knowing her feelings? And anyway, if she doesn't like you for you, she's not right for you in the first place. Change yourself for YOU, then find someone who likes you for you.

But it is something to be taken seriously. They killed over 12 million people.... Why would you want to be called that?
RagingWill 17
What did Nazis do? The enforced what they believed in. If I'm a "Grammar Nazi", I enforce what I believe in. Grammar.

They*** damn iPhone.

The Nazis killed 12 million people because they thought their race was better. And the enforced what they believed in by spreading fear, mass murdering people,shipping innocent people off tho slaughter houses, doing terrible medical experiments, and completely killed a country. I don't see how you could joke about that. Please my grandparents refuse to talk about it . Half of my family was killed, please be a bit more respectful.

Well lets see. You worked out for a year, simply assuming that this girl would be 'typical', and like a fit guy. You didn't talk about it to her or even see what she thought - you simply assumed she was an 'average' girl. You probably are a jerk, but even if not, you definitely deserved it.

How does working out for a year make him a jerk? It's likely you're muscle-building more than just to impress your crush. Self-Defence, make himself feel healthier, etc. Many reasons why. Also, look at the first sentence, and twist it a bit. It doesn't say when he started muscle-building, does it? He could've met his crush at 9 months. And finished the year of muscle-building to impress her. The girl is the one with prejudice.

"After a year of body-building *IN ORDER TO IMPRESS MY CRUSH*" If that wasn't why he was doing it, he shouldn't have said it was. I can't help it if he posted a lie. ;-) He may not be a jerk, but without taking into account anything else about this fellow - which we can't due to not having that info - he was assuming that this girl was typical/average (being that 'typical/average girls apparently like muscular/toned men'). I'd consider it a bit jerky if someone considered me to be typical or average, especially if they've never spoken to me about my thoughts. He very well may not be a jerk, but he definitely deserved this one. Of course, the girl is seemingly a jerk too, given that she's making assumptions about him too (regardless of their accuracy or inaccuracy).

You tried to impress her by lifting weights. I'm not saying her assumption is correct, but maybe you should've tried to impress her by doing something more substantial, with building muscle being a personal goal.

You got fit, which is a pretty good end in and of itself. Pity she's so shallow as to judge people on their appearance. She's not worth it.
