At the start of the year my girlfriend and I decided to part ways, before you shed a tear for your brother Growmore it was just time to call it a day even though we both cared greatly for each other.

Now after a good month of self reflection, 3+ hour long work outs 7 days a week and many late night Ben and Jerry excursions I decided I was ready to get back into things.

I dabbled around and once I got my feet wet I wanted to try and meet a more suitable woman. Here was my problem, I didn't know any respectable women..

So after a chat with a gym buddy I decided to delve into online dating.. What a brilliant way of meeting women, I thought the Internet was just for buying gear and looking at naked women, little did I know lads!

That was back in April and since then I've done my time slugging it out in the trenches getting my hands dirty. After all that I've found a girl who's the whole package and potentially could be the next Mrs Growmore.

If you're a single guy like I was, who concentrates on fitness and his career and struggles meeting new people get on the ball kid. You won't regret it I promise you.

On a side note what kind of women do you find the "muscle" look attracts? In my case I discovered no end of Cougars and milfs who nearly wet themselves over the size of my arms, which in all honestly are pretty pathetic compared to most you chaos around here. It goes with out saying my profile photo included the classic bicep flex ha!

Disclaimer: there are some complete lunatics on dating websites and if you bump into any tell them Growmore said Hello because I met heaps! Wouldn't surprise me if Gymjunkie was on one claiming to be a hot 21 year old Norwegian girl! Any funny stories any of the online dating vets have, please share!
