I was just thinking about this thread. I appreciate the update, OP.

Dating a former d1 athlete now. She’s fine…but boring.

Between training for races, gym, recovery, sleep, corporate job….she is like a robot and all of her friends who are all fitness types are the same.

I’ve realized esp after Alysa Liu winning the gold, I really like the alt girl/art girls better and it’s easier to just pay for their Pilates/fitness classes and get them semi in shape rather than making an athlete interesting/cultured.

I fumbled my ex

Or you could try dating women you actually like instead of figuring out how hard it will be to change them into your vision.

You are young(er).

To stay in shape in your 40’s and beyond it only gets harder.

Find someone you laugh with and enjoy life. If part of that journey is working out together great.

Ideally it would be crazy daily passionate sex every day that keeps you both in shape. That would be like winning the lottery so be happy if she exercises.

When you start appreciating individuals for who they are, then maybe you'll find someone who will stick around for you. And frankly, you'll never meet someone who has EXACTLY your values and your goals in life. Please don't wait for someone like that to drop into your lap!

My parents are not from the same country, and when they met did not have a common language, religion, culture or cuisine. Yet they were suited for each other. My husband and I have a large age gap, and despite having one language and one culture in common, had very different life experiences before we met. He experienced war and privations as a child. I lived in a safe middle class bubble.

None of this is an impediment to a successful marriage, OP. What you need to find is someone who is willing to adapt and learn - and you should be willing to adapt and learn as well.

Keep trying, with an open mind.

It's a sad day when someone needs to be coached on the internet to see women as people

But just a regular Thursday, if we’re going to be honest.

+1 to all of the above

Vaping and weed - gross. Those are drug addicts. Imagine having kids with a such woman. Weed smoking nursing mom. Double gross.

"I don't want to date an athlete, I want someone like gold medal winning athlete Alysa Liu".

Like... what?

I don’t get what Alysa Liu has to do with this either.

I’m impressed that the OP has managed not to change at all

My guess is that because so many stories focus on Alysa quitting and how she challenged the usual norms with her looks etc, OP thinks you can just lollygag and be a gold medal winner - not everyone needs training and discipline (in his mind). After all, he’s just going to buy some lucky lady Pilates classes and turn her into a fitness woman.

Truly putting the “pig” in Pygmalion, OP!
