She knows how to get hearts racing.
Renata Pereira, a 25-year-old fitness influencer, emphasizes the importance of dating someone who shares her mindset. She has developed a clever way to assess potential partners.
She states, “If a guy can’t match my pace during a workout, how can he keep up with my lifestyle?” Renata, recognized by Playboy Norway for meeting their “perfect fitness standard,” shared this insight with NeedToKnow.
That’s why the workout wonder has all her first dates at the gym.
“I believe the best way to test compatibility with a potential partner is doing an intense exercise routine together,” Pereira said.
In the past, Renata relied on fitness-oriented dating apps to connect with individuals who lead a comparable lifestyle.
But even then she struggled to find men who took their training as seriously as she does.
“There was a time when I met up with a guy and during the warm-up, he was already complaining about being tired. We hadn’t even started the harder part of the workout, and he already wanted to sit down and rest,” Pereira remembered.
“In the end, we went out to eat but I knew there wasn’t going to be a second date.”
Another time, she scheduled a training session with a potential date who claimed he had been working out for years — but after a few exercises it was apparent he wasn’t as in shape as she’d thought.
He quickly got dizzy and had to sit down.
“I was worried but also found it funny,” Pereira said.
“He realized he couldn’t keep up and even joked that next time, we should just go out for dinner.”
But even dinner is dictated by her training schedule.
She maintains a highly-controlled diet focusing on lean protein, “strategic” carbs and supplements to enhance muscle definition.
“What I eat and how I train aren’t just habits; they’re part of my identity. It’s not a phase or something temporary – it’s my life,” Pereira said.
“I’ve been involved with people who didn’t share my routine and, for me, the difference was huge.”
“I want someone with an active lifestyle who understands this dedication and shares it with me.”
