My friend and I was talking seriously about her insecurities a while ago. She merely cried when she told me that her good-for-nothing boyfriend left her for a gorgeous lady(as what she described). I was not able to gave her the whole rationale if why his ex-boyfriend leave her,when infact, she have been faithful to their relationship for the past two years(I know that, I know all the up's and down's that they've been through because I'm her confidante eversince friendship meet our tolls). She kept telling me that she is a chubby woman, that her ex-boyfriend leave her because of it. I did not uttered a single word because I do not want to be biased and just side to her opinion without knowing extensively the reason why her ex leave her. I just listened while she weeped and weeped.Considering her opinion that her ex-boyfriend left her because of her physical garb, a thought instantly entered my coconut shell, that physical attributions really matter to other people or maybe they just don't love the person that much because they couldn't accept their partner's appearance. So, which is which???
In AskMen's Great Male Survey of 2011 nearly half of the 70,000 men surveyed said they would "dump a girlfriend if she became fat." While a small majority (53 percent) of men surveyed said they would stick next to their woman's side if she jumped a few dress sizes, the poll results are still surprising. By comparison, only 20 percent of women said they would leave their man if he gained weight — maybe size really doesn't matter after all! Keep in mind that the AskMen survey was particularly general; it didn't go into what "fat" really meant or ask if these men would try to motivate their partner to get active before dumping her. There was also no indication of whether their decision to dump was purely shallow or if they worried that their girlfriend being fat spoke to a larger emotional issue. Also, would these dudes hold themselves to the same standard? Regardless, this stat is sure to ruffle more than a few feathers.
Gaining weight can be an unwelcome symptom of being in a relationship — dinners out, extra couch time, and less time to exercise are all reasons why it happens. But is it a good enough reason to dump someone?
