Having shared hobbies is great but when it comes to fitness, there’s no denying that men have long used preferences for an ‘active’ lifestyle as a way to subtly body-shame others

If the landscape of modern dating wasn’t already depressing enough, there’s a new app in town ready to steal Tinder’s crown for sparking most shallow matches:What is the Fitafy dating app?

Now, let us put our concerns aside for a moment and look at this for what it is: a dating app meant to connect people with the same passion for fitness. Should be harmless, right? Gym bros can find their gym bunnies with ease, bond over the best type of barbell and meal prep together before having hench sex. Romance at it’s very best.

Having shared hobbies is great, encouraged even, but when it comes to health and fitness, there’s no denying that people have long used preferences for an ‘active’ lifestyle to subtly body-shame others. Often, users sell their own enjoyment for fitness as a dealbreaker in their partner too, all through the guise of it simply being a ‘passion’ or ‘hobby’. But what they’re really saying? No fat women please. And thin women? Yeah, you'd better not be so thin you look like you don’t lift.

These are the questions that would surely run through users minds before downloading the app: am I fit enough? And when you consider the pressure that puts on singles, it doesn’t seem like the healthiest mindset to enter into dating with. Particularly, the note about ‘dietary preferences’.
