Highs and Lows of Bodybuilder Dating - All BB Partners, Squat Here!

[entersandmum]

Being in a relationship with a bodybuilder can be absolutely wonderful, it can also be bloody hard work, especially if you are not one yourself.

If anyone would like to discuss some of the many topics that crop up such as:

Diet - Do you eat the same? Astronomically high shopping bills?
Gym time - Do you enjoy those hours to yourself or wish he wouldn't go?
Moods - Usually linked to diet, but also can be psychological.
Steroids / Growth - Is DP honest enough to admit he does it? Are you concerned? Infertility?
Protein - And all the wonderful scents that it produces.
Perception - Does DP worry they are not big enough? Do people assume DP is aggressive / violent?
Attractiveness - Do others assume DP is fair game to be touched / felt up? How do you feel about this?

I've probably missed a few topics but general chat is welcome to highlight this. Please no BB bashing, I know its not for everyone This thread is for those in or thinking of having a relationship with a BB. Men and women welcome.

Are you in a relationship with a body builder?

Fluffy yes, I have previously dated BB men and my current DP of 2 yrs + is a bodybuilder.

None of my friends date BBs but always have lots of questions. I think that having a relationship with a BB can throw up some things you may not find in a typical relationship. It can be quite difficult discussing these things with people who have not had the experience.

Why advertise this?

str8 I am not entirely sure what you think is being 'advertised'? The reason for starting the thread in the first place has been explained in the OP and 3rd message. Did you read before commenting? Do you have a valid concern or question or do you intend on now trolling the thread?

Asking why someone has posted something is not trolling, nor is it a personal attack.

From your OP, this sort of relationship is an awful lot of work to fulfil a fetish. I bet there aren't any bodybuilders posting on the internet about how to please their partners/wives.

gosh I have no issue with someone asking why I have posted but describing it as 'advertising' is obviously opening an opportunity to to ridicule and troll what was hoped to be an honest and frank discussion between partners of BBs.

I have at no point asked for advice on how to please my DP and nor do I need any. Describing dating a bodybuilder as a fetish is both uneducated and offensive. If you don't like it why on earth do you need to comment on the thread?

I fancy bodybuilders I love checking them out in gym showers yum yum even had an affair with one that only finished recently. Just find it bizarre that you would start a thread stating your dating a bodybuilder and offering advice on topics within your relationship. I have a huge huge huge muscle fetish. Seems a bit like a questionnaire thread even bolding your sub topics

is it true that they have a really small penis?

str8 there are simply some things about dating a BB that I couldn't discuss with friends who have no experience of it - even down to high protein diets. I figured that there must be people in a similar relationship who want to chat about things BB related that only another with experience of it would get.

tiredemma no it's not true. However perspective wise an average sized penis may look smaller on a huge guy, yet bigger on a slimmer than average guy. IYSWIM. If the guy is using steroids then his balls may shrink but not his actual penis size.

I have nothing helpful to add on the subject of dating BBs as i have no experience, but i wanted to say that i can't see any difference between this thread or another asking about the highs and lows of dating, say, a mad keen fisher man.

Why is the OP being doubted/slated?

Why do steroids make balls shrink?

Why do body builders smear themselves in ronseal?

Because it protects them from woodlice.

I had an ex who was a BB.

His moods were low a lot of the time.

He went to the gym every evening after work and Saturday except Sunday.

His balls were tiny

I'm sure he was gay, not really related to being a BB.

Wasnt a fun relationship apart from the perk of having a ripped body to play with.

He flat out denied he used steroids but I'm sure he did.

How tiny? Like marbles?

what weird comments
how is this thread any different to one about any other all consuming hobby?
hope you get some nicer replies op

pippi The deep tan is used in competition as it highlights muscle definition. Sometimes BBs do miss the face and feet as these are not areas being judged.

crumpet steroids / testosterone will make an angry BB more aggressive, but usually won't affect the mood of others. Diet however, especially, if cutting will make them moody. DP is a grumpy sod when cutting esp due to lack of carbs. We are both aware of why this is and he does rein it in.

I would love to know how and BB partners cope with the huge food bills any tips for saving?

DP has also upped his protein intake and absolutely stinks when he lets one off. Any way to counteract this without ruining his diet?

Do you do bodybuilding too? Do you feel like his hobby has a major effect on your own life and are you okay with that? It sounds like a lot of work.

I'm just curious, not trying to be critical at all. I don't know any bodybuilders.

Lol they need it to show up muscle depth/definition. If they used normal fake tan under the stage lights they wud look shit! Talking frm personal experience as former figure competitor! I loved the tanning up, hated having to shower it off!

pippi I go to the gym a few times a week after work. This is for health rather than muscle. I don't go to the same gym as it is DPs time when he goes. I spend the evening hours that he does go with Ds14, watching a film, Xbox etc. Or I have a facial, pamper time for me.

We do have a routine that suits us both and if DP does go to the gym outside this then it is easy enough to accommodate.

Weekends away and hols do require a hotel with or close to a gym, but I like to go off and do my own thing anyway.

I eat fairly healthy anyway and BBs can and do have 'junk food' just not all the time. The main change is a rise in food bills and making sure I don't have the same huge portion sizes as DP.

Enters - serious farting is one indicator of a food intolerance/allergy. This would be down to eating same thing day in day out, which bbers tend to do, get him to change up his protein sources, and to switch from whey protein to rice or pea protein for a while, or betr yet, ditch the protein powder in favour of bcaa,s and eaa,s.

How odd, some of those initial responses. Describing it as a fetish!! Rather ignorant.
My fiancé (been together 4 years) is a bodybuilder per se, he doesn't compete but he has weight trained since his teenage years and has a large muscular frame (gorgeous, in my opinion). He is dedicated to his training and diet and I think although he doesn't enter into competitions it is a way of life for him.

I'm glad you have started this thread OP as it will be interesting to discuss some of the topics you mentioned. For one our food bill is insane and I'm sure 80% of it is his! I'm small and we have a 2 yr old also. What I your food bill like OP? What is your partners typical daily diet?

wispa whilst I try and vary what I make as it gets boring DP does seem to have the same thing every morning and goes through a fair bit of whey protein. I will see if I can pick him up this week.

jasmine my food bill is around £150 - £200 week although I also have a teenage lad. If I make DPs lunch it normally consists of 4 chicken whole-wheat wraps, homemade potato salad with pastrami, (think Olympic sized),peanut butter cookies made from soya flour and a fruit salad. I know DP will also buy extra whilst at work. Dinner is pretty much what everyone else has except on a larger scale with more meat.

If DP is cutting though I swap out potatoes, pasta etc for butternut squash, aubergine, courgette and up the meat & veg. Sugar is a no-no. DP no longer does competitions but does still cut now and again to trim his body fat.
