So I just had one of the most ridiculous realizations and I need to share it.
For months I’ve had a gym crush. I usually only saw him from the back or from the side, but he has this insanely good V-taper (broad shoulders, tiny waist) and looks super athletic. I always thought he was way out of my league because he looks ridiculously good at the gym.
Fast forward to today.
I finally saw his face from the front today. Suddenly realized that the guy is someone I’ve seen on Tinder before… and I swiped left on him. Twice.
The first time I swiped left because I just didn’t see the vision. His photos were honestly terrible. The second time I actually noticed he might be attractive but I accidentally swiped left instead of right.
Meanwhile in real life I’ve been like “who is this Greek statue of a man lifting over there.”
The funniest part is that on Tinder I literally thought he was way below my league because of the photos.
And at the gym I was like this man is WAY above my league.
Turns out the difference between bad selfies and real life is apparently massive.
So I was just standing there like 🤡 knowing I rejected my own gym crush twice without realizing it.
He’s also one of those super locked-in gym guys with headphones who barely looks around, so I have no idea if he’s ever noticed me IRL
Anyway, just wanted to share because the irony is killing me.
I am wondering if I should start with a casual conversation or mention Tinder.
TL;DR: Swiped left on a guy twice on Tinder because his pictures were abysmal. Later realized he’s the insanely hot guy I’ve been crushing on at my gym for months.
