The four-year study of 169 newlywed couples found that husbands were more satisfied initially and wives were more satisfied over time when the fairer sex had a lower body mass index -- a common measure of body fat.

Cuddlemii:

This your methodology or whatever is hypocritical.

Sounds like u r justifying your involvement with a dry bone.

Yes its not good to be fat because of health reasons and the ageing factor but I prefer meat on those bones. Good bosoms, arse, hips and curves that would distinguish a babe from a guy & make dem skinny jeans fit perfectly.

Why do guys go crazy about Beyonce, J-lo, Eva Mendez, Kim Kard etc they are curvaceous and sexy. There is always something to play with. Being in between is ok. But dry bone is so boring. I can't even feel comfortable as a bone.

I don't even think men like feeling iron and metal when they are romancing their babes. I think you are just frustrated.

Marriages are more
satisfying for both
partners when wives
are
thinner than their
husbands, according to
a
new study.
The four-year study of
169 newlywed couples
found that husbands
were
more satisfied initially
and
wives were more
satisfied
over time when the
fairer
sex had a lower body
mass index -- a
common
measure of body fat.
The
study was published in
the
July issue of Social
Psychological and
Personality Science.
"There's a lot of
pressure
on women in our
society to
achieve an often
unreachably small
weight,"
said Andrea Meltzer, a
doctoral candidate at
the
University of
Tennessee
and lead author of the
study. "The great
take-
home message from
our
study is that women
of any
size can be happy in
their
relationships with the
right
partner. It's relative
weight
that matters, not
absolute
weight. It's not that
they
have to be small."
Just how relative
weight
impacts marital bliss is
unclear, but Meltzer
has a
theory.
"One idea is that
attractiveness and
weight
are more important to
men," she said. "That
might be why we see
this
emerging at the
beginning
of the marriage for
husbands, and their
dissatisfaction might
be
affecting wives'
satisfaction over
time."
The finding held up
even
when other marital
stressors, such as
depression and income
level, were ruled out.
But
relative weight is not
the
only factor that
affects
marital satisfaction,
Meltzer cautioned.
"Obviously a lot of
things
play into relationship
satisfaction and this is
just
one of them," she said.
"It's not a guarantee
to be
happy in a relationship."

ouch. we skinny girls are fine with our weight too. abi wetin come concern ezekiel now. dry bone ko. wet fat ni
everybody should be proud of what they have.

jada pinkett smith ain't bad either. neither is our classy oluchi onwuegba.

Do u know the meaning of dry bones. I am not talking about slim people. Jada pinkett is even too ripped and fit to be bony. Oluchi is tall and not bones. Obviously slim is healthy and sexy too. I'm only answering the op for his ignorance about size in marriage or romance.
