Are you a self-described gym rat or fitness junkie? Turns out, when it comes to finding love, you’re ahead of the game. According to a recent survey, individuals who regularly work out are more desirable than singles who don’t — and it has nothing to do with having a ripped bod. When it comes to finding a potential love match, singles equate working out with prioritizing a healthy lifestyle.
In a survey of over 7000 members and data compiled from over 1.2 million profiles on the popular dating site, Zoosk, the site discovered that fitness related interests and activities ranked high among those looking for a relationship. 65 percent of daters on the site noted that they value a partner who makes exercise a priority. 83 percent of Individuals who worked out more than three times a week stated that it was important to be with someone who enjoys working out just as often as they do.
Surprisingly, 69 percent of singles mentioned that they love the look of athleisure in day-to-day life and they wouldn’t be bothered by their date showing up in activewear! Now you have another reason to wear your yoga pants everywhere.
Exercising for love isn’t the only reason to head to the gym more often. Numerous studies have shown that working out relieves depression, keeps your skin glowing, wards off dementia, and boosts your brain size.
The next time you skip drinks after work or brunch for a cardio session, just say you’re doing it in the name of love.
