Weightlifting - no
Wouldn't lifting heavy things be a useful survival skill?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
C Gosling--never got his appeal. I guess he can act, but really. F Phillipe, as long as he doesn't speak or anything. He is very pretty. M Ryan Reynolds. He's funny. I need a funny husband.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Gosling is hot in that terrible Sandra Bullock movie. It's not so much his looks as his intensity. Also, did you hear he got back together with Rachel McAdams? That makes me strangely happy. So I vote M him, C that cock Phillipe.
