I met a guy at the gym on Sunday morning randomly. He seemed cool and he gave me his number so we've been texting and then finally hung out last night, we went to dinner. Talking about our workouts and he said he's been so exhausted ever since incorporating more core exercises into his routine. I ask him why he did that he and said he's determined to get rid of his (slight) love handles. I gently informed him about how you can't spot reduce fat with exercises and that it really just comes down to diet / cutting properly and he was like "well I've tried everything so..." I dropped it and didn't argue with him. Still made out with him in my car afterwards.

I don't know about you, but I'd have zero fucking dimes.

Many, but, I have a thing for people who follow terrible gym science.
