It's important.

Now I know what you might be thinking: "who's this guy to talk?"

I would never claim to be a paragon of physical fitness myself. But I try. I run, watch what I eat, and generally keep myself at a healthy weight. Not all of us will fit into the mold of peak physical fitness. Busy lifestyles don't always allow it, but there are ways to keep fit and have a nice physique to match it without .

Invest in some decent walking shoes, or cross trainers. Exercise an hour an day. And when you've reached the point where you muscles and tendons are strong enough, get some good running shoes and go for a jog. You'll feel better, guaranteed.

Avoid food that is obviously not good for you. Those would be foods that have a lot of processing involved. The more machines that had to be utilized to make something, the less nutrition you will get out of those foods.

Eat smaller servings. Invest in some apples. Try to steer yourself towards low fat foods. And count your calories. 2000 is a decent number to aim for. When (and I mean WHEN) you start exercising on a regular basis up that by 250 - 500 depending on your routine.

I know we all want to be accepted for who we are. And there is merit in that. But when I peruse my matches and find that many are somewhat overweight and they are young, I think to myself: "this person just doesn't take care of themselves." How can I justify a long term relationship with someone who's not going to do their best to keep themselves healthy? Staying fit just gets harder with age.

Aesthetically speaking, being overweight isn't attractive. That might be just my opinion, but that's a VERY small part of it. Long term relationships are just that. LONG TERM. When I find the right someone, I want to spend my entire life with her. Not just 25 good years before she's so riddled with health problems that she spends the rest of her years in and out of hospitals.

Get fit America.

Possibly. I think it belongs somewhere else though.
