Because they get comfortable and complacent in their marriage. Typically when you stop doing the things that attracted her in the first place it will not bode well for the marriage long term.

There is zero incentive for some married guy to stay in shape unless they plan on having an affair. Although this is coming from someone who has completely given up on life so what do i know.

Lots of folks become complacent after 'settling down.' I personally believe it's integral to our wellbeing to never stop pushing in life. Much like a shark, if you stop swimming, you die. If you stop working on the relationship as a unit and partnership, and on yourself as a person with individual needs, the relationship can't evolve in a healthy way.

TL;DR: if you let yourself go and your spouse isn't attracted to you anymore, that's a gigantic nail in the eventual coffin. You have nobody else to blame but yourself at that point.

Really? How about, I dunno....for yourself?

By that token would you say there's no point in doing anything ever unless you gather some kind of external validation for that effort? You're touching upon extrinsic motivation here and that's the type of motivation that serves to explain why people are not consistent in whatever endeavour they're engaged in. It needs to be intrinsic and come from within.

Yeah my post was a bit extreme and pathetic. But females in my 30's were the only thing that were incentive to me.

Damn. You don’t enjoy lifting? You have a nice physique in avi.

Sometimes lifting is the best part of my day; I actually really look forward to it. Been married since 2019 and could bloatmaxx if I wanted to, but that doesn’t sound fun at all lol

It means you got in shape in the first place just to get chicks which is pathethic way of saying ''I'm a simp''

Looking good is such a confidence boost. People who stop training are the ones who eventually wonder why they are so depressed all the time.

I was hit with a man cold, didn't train for four days, I wouldn't say I was depressed, but I did feel even worse.

similar reasons sloots blow up like whales.

comfort and complacency. some dudes i know have a sloot that makes them feel bad if they spend too much time in the gym, others get in crowds through work or other married couples who don't train hard and care about being fit so they eventually let go too.

then your sloot wife starts hanging out with fat chicks, and gets fat along with them. she no longer needs that hot tight body to get fukked by random dudes when ever she wants since she's had more than her fair share of cawk over the years and doesn't care anymore.

then the dude bloatmaxxes, fat pad grows, his cawk shrivels from lack of use and he loses inches and even more confidence. doesn't fuk his sloot, would rather watch tranny porn to get off on his own, starts to go to bed after his wife so they never hang naked anyway so who cares if they are both fat fuks with rolls that you could hide a small animal in.

typical life for many unfortunately.

lazy, depressed *******s that just go through life like a robot giving up on all self improvement.

Because you share a meal more often with your wife. She's hungry so you eat with her. You just eat more often.

Calories in, calories out etc etc, not rocket science here guys.

Why?
Assuming one is married with a young family working 40+ hours a week and your wife putting in 40 as well and probably doesn't cook that often, so a lot of ordering in/eating out coupled with a more of a sedentary lifestyle..

I can see it.

My wife is always cooking and making delicious ****, she's there to fuk, so no need to keep in shape...its comfort.


I noticed I was gaining a pound or two a year, and stopped lifting for a bit. Back at it now, and almost back to former size and fitness. I wasn't massive ir had a gut, but need to drop 30 lb. Already down 15. Be good to go come spring.

I think it's important for people to stay in shape for their spouse/bf/gf. I've stayed in shape and the same size for the last 2+ years that I've been with my bf. Has nothing to do with wanting to cheat. The incentive is that I want him to remain attracted to me and think I look great.

Because a woman's fav sport is "lets go out to dinner and socialize"
They never say let's go for a walk, a run or train at the gym; that is usually forced by you, 90% of the time.
Fitness takes energy and real work, most people don't ever get addicted to that "look" in the mirror and that flow of brain chemicals.
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

You serious? Are you an actual man? You should never be lifting for others, or get in shape for someone else.

On the topic of "gym-going should stop because you're not after women anymore" versus "gym-going should continue for your own self":

I propose the idea that as the man in a marriage, you're the leader, and you should lead by example. Get and/or stay in shape, and she'll feel insecure herself, till she gets in shape too. Out in public, if you're a chad, and she's a chubby Karen, she'll notice the looks you're getting, and want to make a change for herself.
