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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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

time to show her otherwise and show her that she can have "the whole package".

no offense but maybe she just didn't like you and used it as an excuse? I've never heard of a girl who doesn't like fit guys.

Fyl for having a crush on someone who thinks stereotypes are always real. Ydi for being shallow enough to depend solely on your looks to get a date with her.

Nah, just gross.

It sucks that you did it just for her, but there's another girl out there who loves fit guys and will have fun playing with your big muscles. Another good thing, you're really healthy now and that's a major turn on for a lot of girls. Cheer up!

You being upset about her buying into stereotypes while creating a stereotype of yourself doesn't make sense. Try just being yourself and finding girls who like you for being you. Getting in shape is something that should be done for the sole purpose of making yourself feel better and to give you confidence. Girls like guys who aren't trying to be something other than themselves.

Maybe you should have actually spoken to her instead of just trying to impress her physically. You do sound like a jerk.

I like how everyone is saying she's shallow because she only cares about his looks, when he supposedly spent a whole year body building because he assumed she would only care about his looks. Kinda sounds like he deserves it to me.

Dude... never change yourself just to get someone to like you. Not worth it at all and they'll soon find out that's not who you are.

YDI. Making assumptions about what she likes and being put-out that you're wrong kind of does make you a jerk. Besides, even if she did like fit guys, it wouldn't necessarily mean she'd be into you. Putting all that work into impressing her just makes you seem creepily desperate.

This. This is basically what I came here to say. OP complains about how she's stereotyping him, yet his problem happened exact because he stereotyped her. "It's a girl, so she must like muscles".
