Both those situations provide reasons to study martial arts or boxing or something. I would not think "I wish I had gone to the gym".

We're on an internet forum. Not exactly the best place to find people that do actually exercise or go to the gym. Which means the general opinion on this matter is going to be swayed by the several internet posters who do valuable little else with their time and simply can't be arsed to exercise. "Oh I don't go to the gym, so it must be gay/waste of time/pathetic" is all I'm seeing from the majority of posters in this thread. If you can't be bothered to maintain a healthy lifestyle then ****ing admit it rather than trying to force a negative spin on this whole 'fitness' business because you simply aren't motivated enough like the rest of us.
Oh, and sorry, but women are naturally more attracted to more muscular males, even if you try to convince yourself you're not.

It's nothing to do with fitness. Play a sport, go jogging, do something fun. The motivation for going to the gym is narcissism:
"I want to look hench/buff/built"

Sorry but when a fight involving 2 guys or more happens you need the following on your side
-Mental state to inflict pain when needed
-Capable of holding a guy in a position long enough to hurt him
-Muscle
-Elbows and knees
-Uppercut punches
-Neck hits
-Groin hits
You dont need any boxing/martial arts background to understand this, you need to focus when in a fight, you'd probably fall over the nearest stone.

Except strength training has a lot to do with fitness and it can also be fun.
Don't let your insecurity cloud your ability to think logically.
I think (know) people's views are incredibly biased 
- People are only basing their opinions on what seems to be the body building hardcore gym-goers that spend most their time to bulking. But that's their choice right?
Anyway my point is what about the many people that do gym alongside their everyday life? I'm trying to get more into gym and at the moment it seems people will judge me negatively.
I want to get stronger, more fit and look better is that really a crime wanting to look better as well? :P I'm not vain just if there's a way to improve myself and it's in reach I should shoot for it?
I also want to get more into my running and so gym can help with my general fitness (free gym membership with my accomodation so how could I say no? though i will be paying for it next year 'tis worth it)
People remember - you can go to the gym AND not be a self-obsessed person stop ruling all the options out

There is no problem with that - walking is enough exercise

Just wondering. Does it put you off that a guy never goes to the gym and pulls weights/works out? The guy is not fat or anything, he just doesn't have the typically buffed up gym body and would rather spend his time doing other things.
Don't like either extreme. I appreciate a man who takes as much care in his body as I do. As long as the gym isn't an obsession or he hasn't got a complete aversion to being healthy I don't mind. Prefer everything in moderation.

Rudimentary martial arts or boxing won't help you when you're weak as a kitten.

i would prefer them to be big because thats my type but loads of girls dont care or even prefer the skinny indie looking type.

I wouldn't care.
Everyone is different and enjoys doing different things. I don't go to the gym, but I like yoga. Other people don't like yoga and prefer to do photography....and others don't like the gym, yoga or photography and do bird watching. Do I care? No!

You are the first to mention the word 'rudimentary'. Also most human beings aren't "as weak as a kitten". That was an exaggeration.
No real reason to go the gym has been provided by the very weak argument that "You might have your wallet stolen or your girlfriend might get raped."
Speed, agility and intelligence would make the difference. Not having a six pack.
Having gone to they gym might be of slight benefit. But it is hardly the thing that makes the difference.
Furthermore, this very vague possibility is a weak excuse for wasting hours and hours of my life:
I have never been attacked, probably never will be attacked and would either laugh or run away if attacked depending on the level of threat and menace.
