It's not my cup of tea for a partner, but it IS his/hers, so they should be able to find each other.
Like in a fitness or bodybuilding competition, sure... but just jerking around on chest presses or on the elliptical and you've got your homeboy/girl shooting pics of you = douchey AF.

All right, so how many pictures like this are out there in OLD Land, anyway?
Is this really a significant problem?
Because various people here are saying their gyms don't allow pictures to be taken, so...
Is this imminent, and an issue anyone will struggle with in some prohibitive way during the OLD experience?

I think this is the female version of the guy with fish photo thing. It's pretty widespread, but has become "thing'. If I'm doing something like tinder or bumble I'll see a woman doing crossfit or yoga probably every 8-10 profiles.

More than I care for... but then I see fitness as personal maintenance and don't give a fack about it otherwise... I don't take pictures of oatmeal and fruit to demonstrate my heathy eating either.
I dunno, maybe it's just me, but the whole "pictures as a life story" thing is just stupid to me. Put up pictures that show an accurate representation of YOU on a daily basis. You can tell me you like golfing and own a doberman in your text. I don't need to see you in the goofy visor hat on the course or cuddling the dog on the couch.
No one gives a crap, really. People always tell me to put up pictures of me playing guitar (as I'm a musician) and no woman's ever said chit about it.
If you yourself do not value a pic of a woman doing Crossfit/flipping tires, then click on next profile.
If you think certain behaviors are "too masculine" and you are attracted to some more traditional pastimes like collecting pics of bridal gowns, dessert receipes and cute cat memes on Pinterest, find those women for you!
Most the crossfit pics I see are more in line with 'work in progress'. I found one I liked last week (progress obtained), she visited my profile, then 'hid' me a day later. C'est la vie.

Click past that every eighth to tenth profile that's splattered with pics taken inside a gym. Swipe! Et voila.
That's what I do, along with the ones playing golf, sports cars, etc. No problem.
