To everything you just wrote, I say that at my age, I probably run into more people out there who are exponentially more inflexible than I am when it comes to what they do in their free time than how I live out my workout routine. They won't deprioritize going out with their friends for drinks multiple times a week to make time for dating whatsoever or they're away every weekend, be it traveling or visiting friends, which nukes the ability to schedule any dates on the days that are generally more available for most people. I understand your point, but I am being 100% truthful when I say that blaming it on my workout lifestyle seems more like a convenient excuse for people who really just want is a guy who will fit into the tiny, inaccessible windows of time in their life that are convenient for just them but not convenient for everyone, which amounts to what? -- dates on a Monday or Tuesday evening, but never toward the end of the week or on weekends? Who wants to date someone on the busiest days of work week? What can you even do together? It's not like you can visit a museum or go to a live show in the evening hours of a Monday or Tuesday since most shows happen toward the end of the week. Most restaurants are closed on Mondays as well.

I will also say one another thing: I know that I am flexible with making time to date because I have rearranged my entire week's schedule and workout schedule to make time for dates, but do you want to know why I've pulled back on doing that? It's because people can't be trusted to not cancel plans an hour beforehand with no concern as to how it impacts the other person's evening or in this case, the rest of my week. Enough people have disrespected my time that it's gotten to the point where I realized I was getting burnt too often by being flexible, so it's best not to go too far out of the way.

I honestly didn't get any good advice from writing this post. I thought this sub was very pro-workout lifestyle, but it sounds to me like the advice is "go against all health recommendations about staying fit and healthy, deprioritize your health physically and mentally by exercising less so that you maybe you'll land a relationship, which may not even end up working out, in which case you'll be tossed back into the dating pool in less better physical shape at that."
