Looking for a man this New Year? Have you considered a CrossFit guy? Here are 11 reasons why you should consider dating one.

1. Solid work ethic 

CrossFitters commit. Their self-discipline defines who they are, and their work ethic carries over outside of the gym. Since they can commit to going to the gym daily, they can definitely commit to you.  

2. Willing to push through limits

He doesn’t stop when times get tough. He tolerates pain and pushes past it. He doesn’t give up in the gym, and he won’t give up on you. 

3. His body 

Gotta give credit where credit is due, and these men have earned their Adonis stature. I recommend keeping him on a tight leash; all the boys will be after him. 

4. He can cook 

Any serious athlete knows that diet is as important, if not more important, than what you do at the gym. CrossFit men know how to cook healthy meals and have a baseline understanding of nutrition. It’ll be like you’re dating the Bear-Naked Chef.

5. Always wearing sexy gym clothing 

God bless compression shorts. God bless tanks. God bless CrossFit men.

6. Always seeking to improve

He’s never satisfied with where he is now in life. He always wants to improve, and will motivate you to do the same.

7. Time management 

Attending the gym regularly is a major time commitment. CrossFitters think ahead and manage their time well in order to make it to the gym consistently. So he can absolutely prioritize his time to spend it with you. 

8. He’s always shirtless 

Which is great for literally any gay bash you decide to go to. Pride, Folsom, Halloween, Coachella, or just any club!

9. He values community

CrossFit, while it may seem like an independent activity, has an entire community and culture surrounding it. One that’s overflowing with friends and support. If you date him, you get to join that community.

10. He’ll believe in you 

Whether or not he’s screaming, “YOU GOT THIS” in your ear, he genuinely knows that you are not bound by any limitation. That you can do whatever you put your mind to.

11. He’s a beast in the sheets 

He is fit, strong, and powerful. If he prefers to bottom, God knows he won’t just lie there. If he prefers to top, you’ll be in for a hell of a ride.
