It's the new "in" thing. "I'm always busy" I guess is a plus anymore, but that can also mean that they do not have the time for another person in there lives.
Too much on the plate before adding me is a turn off. lol

It means they don't have time for their friendships, either. Increased self-isolation.
I see no hobbies on ReblTeen's schedule, that's the glaring difference between his life and the OP's. The OP fills his evening time with computer activities and his car hobby. He also spend 3 hours going to the gym and working out some days. And he didn't include his sports activity time on the schedule, a whole other hobby commitment.
He's not a workaholic, strictly speaking, since he has hobbies. But he's clearly compulsive about filling up every minute of his day (note--only 5 hrs. scheduled for sleep), and he's admitted as much. I think his OCD is driving this hyper-activity. Now if he didn't have the gf, there wouldn't be anything wrong with this, except that he's depriving himself of sleep. Health-wise, that's gotta give. But the problem is that he wants a relationship, and there's no room in the schedule for it, except random weekends. So he has a decision to make: where to cut back to make time for the relationship. If the relationship weren't important to him, he wouldn't be here asking for advice.
From what I read, he spends an hour and a half at the gym. The drive time is to and from home/gym area. I don't think 90 minutes at the gym is unreasonable for anyone.

I used to catch grief from a few people at my last job because I always used up my vacation time every year. We had a guy that got in trouble for never using it, his excuse was " I gotta make money". Uh, dude, you get paid when you take vacation! There was one point when I handed in 3 leave requests at once, I got a few laughs for that.
My wife and I go away for the weekends fairly often, we usually go to FL/Disney every other year. There's no way in h*ll I could work non-stop when I have 3+ weeks of leave to burn.

It's the sum total of the workout time, and the long drive time. It takes a big chunk out of the day. But he said he works out at home some of the time, saving a lot of time. Still, a 90-minute workout seems like a long one. Most men I've observed in gyms have about a one-hour routine. Some women's gyms have whittled down the routine to 1/2 hour, working it out so that cardio is built-in to the weight workouts. It all depends on how much time one has or chooses to make available for the gym.

Whoah. A full workout for me is 1.5 to 2 hours, and that doesn't include the half-hour of cardio that I do on my lunch hour. An hour is a VERY short workout amongst the folks I know. I don't think any of the "regulars" at my gym are there for less than 2 hours, most nights. That doesn't have to be every night, but it's usually 3/4 nights a week for most. You are right though, it's all about priorities. I can tell you that if I had to give up the gym, I'd be so miserable that I think any relationship of mine would seriously suffer.
