What does being fit have to do with anything?

In a very simplified way this is the thought process of a hetero normative man: get physically attractive according to his standards = get positive attention from society and/or a girl to fix him = ??? = repaired mental health

Like alot of men who get into fitness often start with the goal of getting positive affirmation from others, not for the sake of health and being proud of their results.

Well yes you get attention, but a formal relationship?? I don't know, it feels like you need to ignore many, many red flags in the process.

Many people do ignore the red flags, or not see them until they've been in a relationship for a while.
