Dear Mr. Personal Trainer

I met Mr. Personal Trainer online. Yeah, that's all I remember.

Dear Mr. Personal Trainer,

Where to start? We had some very great casual dates for late night coffee, drinks at a cute bar and it was fun! We laughed a lot. You are fun and very witty, which I appreciate. I think we went on four dates overall. I remember that being a lot at that time for me. You had this genuineness that I LOVED and then, you started hiding behind this mask, pretending to be something you thought you should be and I couldn't handle it.
                                                 
Okay. I think it's cool that you showed me pictures of how you used to be very overweight and how you have sculpted your body, disciplined yourself and are now eating healthy. I am all about people being the healthiest versions of themselves. However, it didn't take a positive turn for you... at least not psychologically. You talked a lot about how you used to be and how you think you're so hot now and it came off super arrogant. Just because ripped guys have a reputation for being jerks, doesn't mean you have to follow suit. Every once in a while, you would show this very sweet side of your personality. I saw glimpses of sweetness and someone who is giving. Anytime I commented on how nice something was, you would cover it up with a douche-ish remark. Something about how you were better than people who weren't in shape. But, that used to be you. Anyway, it was very bitter and very unattractive. You turned out even more jerk-ish than guys who have always been good looking. What are you trying to prove? You can totally be yourself and it's enough. In fact, I can guarantee it's better than this ridiculous clown show you're trying to carry. "Grunt. I'm a cool work out physical trainer"  blah, blah, blah. It's not a big deal. First of all, this is la. There are a LOT of trainers and second, stop talking down on people like you're better than everyone. It's annoying. If you didn't know, this is why it ended. I don't think I ever told you point blank because the thoughts were not fully formed and sounded mean in my mind at the time. I didn't want to be mean just because you were being a snob. Especially when all you really needed was affirmation and acceptance. dude. You just went about achieving it all the wrong way.

Sincerely,

That girl who can't stand pretenders
