I hear that. I can out work my 5 years younger strong field hand but would probably be called fat

I would just ask them - it could be a number of things.

I‘m about fitness pizza in my mouth

It could be, but it really depends on the person.

It is saying, no fat chicks.

I work out a lot and there are plenty of fit women at the gym who developed well rounded booty, muscular legs and good shoulders. Definitely not skinny, but also sexy as hell. So, I would just talk about yourself and see if you’re compatible. If not, f$ck him move on.

If one is 'into' fitness it's going to be a big part of their life, and they might want an s/o that they can share that part of their life with.

I wouldn't say it's the PC way to say no fat chicks. I think it's just saying the person likes to exercise and would like the person they are searching for to be interested in that topic.

I think it is just part of a lifestyle...maybe one of health and fitness, cooking together, etc. A shared interest. Many people walk or do some sort of exercise daily but it does not mean they need to look like models or body builders...I think we need to give the person credit for wanting someone who cares about physical appearance but not necessarily in a bad way. So...yeah, it could be about being overweight, no fat chicks/guys...but wouldn't you want to know that right off the bat?

I think it could be one of two things, "No fat chick" or "I'm looking for a crossfit buddy". You needn't feel defensive. It's a personal preference thing that they can't help. If I come across a profile that says "prefer blond hair, blue eyes and a beard like a lumberjack" then I know I'm SOL with that one but luckily there are plenty of other fishes in the sea. That said, you should know that there are a ton of men who finds the chubby/curvy physique very attractive (like this one)

I can only speak for myself.

I have a fit lifestyle. I exercise almost every day, even if it's 15 minutes of calisthenics and a 20 minute jog, other days it's two hours hiking or at the gym. I also watch what I eat but don't care about the occasional cheat.

Being fit has become popular and I've found men and women who claim to be fit and might even have a gym membership but can't handle a five mile hike or an hour of manual labor.

I won't date a woman whose idea of working out is to socialize for thirty minutes at the gym then eats an entire pizza with a huge dessert. I know that seems judgy to some, I'm not judging how they live their life. I am saying I won't tie my life to them romantically.

Dates don't have to be as into their health as I am, but they have to be ok with 10 mile hikes and I don't want crappy food in my house all the time. They also have to be ok with long conversations on nerdy topics and self reflection. Based on all my wacky standards, I may die alone except for my doggies but I have found some women appreciate a fit and nerdy life.

The intention behind that stipulation is only known to the writer. Years ago, when I was on a dating site, a small portion of my profile said I was looking for someone to get healthy and fit with me. My intention was to state that is what I wanted to focus on, and would like support with that, rather than be tempted into being a couch potato. What I got from that site was a couch potato who got fiercely jealous when I went to the gym or on a hike or bike ride, since he was more into watching TV most of the day, but we made it work for 8 years. (I gained 15 pounds during those 8 years and he was fine with that. I've since lost 10 of those pounds just in the 3 months since I broke up with him. Back to getting healthy and fit.)

On the flip side, someone on that same dating site had a stipulation that he only wanted to date "fit" women who exercise daily. Well, I'm not obese, but I'm not lean and bony either. I'm happy with my body and keep active enough to keep it to my own standards. He messaged me with interest, but I turned him down saying if fitness is his most important requirement, I felt that was pretty shallow and that I was not the girl for him. Years later, I still see this tired old guy, huffing and puffing as he runs the same path I bicycle daily... I sure look pretty good compared to him, and I doubt he ever found his "fit" woman!

I think sometimes people put things on their profile to counter their most recent bad relationship. For me, fitness in my partner is not a requirement, but it is a shared activity, fun to do together, supporting each other and as a way of life.

I think it's about interests. I mean, can I refuse a woman who doesn't read books? Am I calling her dumb? I don't think so. People are different.

Definitely means no fat chicks. Ladies, just so you know, if you give up on dating:you can eat a whole pizza and dessert if you feel like it, no ones going to be nagging you about your weight or how your bum looks and no ones going to be cheating on you because they feel "you've let yourself go". I'm just saying, do we really need those sorts of negativity in our lives?

It seems to me that it's not "what are you trying to say", but what a person reads into it.

I'm into fitness.

Fitness whole pizza in my mouth.

Boi, BYE! ✌✌✌✌

Well personally, I would rather see, "looking for someone who is Into Fitness" as opposed to, "looking for someone who is in good shape." the first seems to imply that they would like a running walking/ jogging/ partner or the like. The second one is just too friggin picky?

"into fitness" means it's a priority in your life....and that you engage it some activity related to staying fit on a regular basis...for me that would mean at least 3-5 days of exercise/activity weekly. I would phrase mine more of "looking for someone who makes it a priority to stay fit"....which, to me, implies that they aren't a couch-potato and that they care about their fitness level and don't live on junk food.

People need to have the same activity level to be compatible, I think.
I can go hike 12-15 miles today, right now, without blinking an eye or having to think "can I do this?"
Everyone knows their fitness level....unfortunately, most people aren't honest about it.

It might literally mean what it says. I would look for photos of this person doing running events, etc. If there aren’t any pictures like that, then maybe it does. Personally, I have a rule that I don’t date anyone that outweighs me, but I don’t put that on my profile, I just don’t say anything back.

For me exercising is so boring when you're doing it alone. If I were to put a reference to wanting someone that's into exercising it would be because I needed an inspiring friend that could get me off my ass. I'll walk run swim with anybody if they'll be patient with my slow pace at first.

Some people like to be active some don't . I met someone who said she liked walking my idea of walking was a ten mile hike up a hill hers was a walk around the local park with a coffee . It caused problems and git boring pretty quick

I believe you have amazing powers of observation.
For myself would not want to be with someone "into" fitness. I'm happy with being aware of ones self.

I'm INTO fitness, however my body is not. I was very active and enjoyed all sorts of sports, including weight lifting.

But I'm also fat. I was fat in high school, but I still did volleyball and basketball and out benched the boys.

And now my body thinks walking to the laundry room is exercise.

Either way, I see it as "I want someone with a six pack and a gym membership who enjoys rock climbing and hang-gliding"

Some people address fitness as a hobby so sometimes it is people who spend a ton of time at the gym and working out. The more you work out the more addicted you can get to it. Although, some folks probably use it to say "no fat chicks" too.

I'm into fitness...
