8 Reasons to Date the Girl Who Lifts

For the last time, lifting does not make women look like men.

So many people have this idea in their head that girls who lift are gross and veiny and that they look like men. Well, here's a little bit of reality being brought to you today by science. Females have different hormones and muscle fibers and types than men, so physiologically speaking they just can't get as bulky (naturally anyways). Ok, enough science.

In reality, women who lift are plain bad ass and they put in a lot of time and effort to get strong and healthy. Not to mention the fact that almost any girl who actually lifts has a super nice butt, and who doesn't want that?

Let's now take a moment to appreciate exactly why girls who lift stay winning.


1. Cheat. Meals.

Do I even need to explain this one? You meal prepped, you ate clean all week, you suffered through severe bouts of hangriness and you day dreamed in class about donuts, pizza and ice cream all week. Now, not only do you get to enjoy your long-awaited cheat day, you get to do it with bae. You have a girl by your side who is down to eat as much junk food as your little soul can dream of, and she'll still look good after. Why? BECAUSE SHE LIFTS.


2. She can do some work in the kitchen.

Remember when we talked about meal prep earlier? Yeah, she cooks lunch and dinner for six of the seven days each week, every week for her entire life. That's a lot of food and a lot of practice. Not to mention, most of what she cooks is healthy. Healthy food doesn't always taste the best, so ya girl knows how to add a little flavor here and there to make something worth eating for a whole week.

NOTICE: Lifting will not turn you in to Queen Bey, but it'll get you a whole lot closer than those girls who watch Youtube beauty tutorials in bed all day.


3. You have a go-to gym partner.

Remember that time (or those times) when your bro just couldn't make it to the gym with you that day? You had to go in there with all those meathead dudes hogging the machines. You had to power through even though there were noobs staring at you because they had no clue what they were actually doing. But worst of all, you had to lift less than you wanted to that day because no one was there to spot you. Well, when you date a girl who lifts, she's always down to go to the gym with you. She'll keep you company, encourage you and spot you when you need it (because she knows how). Fun fact: girls who lift aren't scared of barbells.


4. NO MORE SOCKS FOR CHRISTMAS!

Socks, hats, posters, etc...

You get the point right? Girls who lift like the same things as you, just in pink. This means instead of socks, you get a weight belt. Instead of a lame hat that 99% of the population already has, you get that expensive pre-workout you've been wanting. No more irrelevant posters, now you get some sick bluetooth headphones to get you in the zone. You're welcome.


5. She hates cardio just as much as you.

Cardio is satan. This is an unspoken rule that lifters just understand. She'll never say, "Hey babe, let's go for a run", which basically is the biggest turn off of a sentence ever. She'll leave the cardio machines for the girls who get on the stairclimber just to take a picture for their snapchat story, and she'll come lift some real weight with you instead.


6. You can do weird, acrobat-like stuff that other couples can't.

Don't be weird. We're talking PG, good old-fashioned fun. How many couples can do hand stands and push-ups on each other, or hang on each other and do sit ups? She can squat with you on her back, and she's athletic enough to hold tight when you feel like bench pressing her or strict pressing her over your head to impress your friends. Way more fun than an average relationship, am I right or am I right?


7. She's mentally strong, too.

If she can consistently drag herself to the gym everyday and get stuff done there, she has the mental strength to get through anything the day throws at her. Her lifting routine takes dedication, focus, ambition and drive, which are qualities she has worked hard to attain and average girls usually do not have. She doesn't give up and she works hard for what she wants.

Once again, WINNING.


8. She has a rockin' body... and she's proud of it.

Of course, I had to save the best reason for last. Those long hours in the gym and all those carefully planned meals aren't for nothing. Part of why she does all of what she does is to have a body she can be proud of. It's a big deal for her and she's not afraid to admit that it's a reason she's so driven. Lucky for you, you get to enjoy looking at her hard work as much as she enjoys earning it.


So there you have it guys. Go find yourself a nice lady who lifts to bring home to your mama!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
