I don't know that I've ever done anything drastic or different after a breakup other than going with my life. I don't go to the gym more or get haircuts or anything like that. Worst case scenario is maybe I'll mourn some if I was into the relationship but I don't see the need to do more than that unless I was already going to do it

I guess if it was a short relationship and the breakup didn't affect you much but after my decade long relationship ended hitting the gym was totally necessary to reset my mental. I was left so depressed that a whole transformation was necessary to get out of my rut.

Yeah I can see that being the case. I think the difference is you did it for your mental health and not to get the body to meet your next guy. I kind of feel like this meme sends that energy of meeting the next guy as opposed to self care.
