Curves are for keeps
May 14, 2004
MEN are more likely to stray if their partners are slim, a survey has found.
Men with skinny wives and girlfriends could be interested in appearance alone - and on the lookout for someone even more attractive.
In contrast, seven in 10 faithful men prefer their women size 16 or over.
The revelations will be little comfort to Victoria Beckham amid claims her husband David had an affair. The former Spice Girl, who captivated the footballer with her curves, has become much thinner since they married.
Nearly half of more than 1200 men questioned in the survey admitted cheating. Most of those had slim partners.
Sixty-four per cent of men with a partner under size 12 confessed to straying compared with 20 per cent of men with partners above size 12.
Seven in 10 of those with slim partners also said their lovers were too worried about appearance to enjoy sex. Eight out of 10 of those dating cuddlier companions said their love lives were "fantastic and uninhibited".

Well, I'm still not convinced that the size of the wife and the fidelity of the husband are really related.

Australian Size 16 must be about an American Size 10.
How did she get that water cooler into her butt?
Heh, Bump to the lovely Marie!
women obsessed with their figure are hard to live with...
women who enjoy eating often enjoy you know what.
And finally, remember Ben Franklin's advice on why to take an older Mistress? They are soooo grateful....
And we're not fat, we're just fluffy...and soft.
That's assuming that the sole or primary reason men cheat is because they're not getting it at home...
I never knew THAT!!!
Only grossly overweight women, not those size 16-20.
And many compulsive dieters have low self esteem...and bulemia...
I'm 43 years old and I have no clue how they size women's clothes!!!!!!!!
My husband is the same as you when it comes to figuring out women's clothes............and looking elsewhere!!!
Me, neither. I'd like to know why they didn't study the appearances of men whose wives cheat.
I'm far from skinny...6'3" and about 220 lbs. I think I need to drop a few pounds, myself. :)
Either that, or men with heavy wives are less honest.
Actually, there are plenty of women who can't stand the sight of themselves in the mirror and they are maybe 25-30lbs overweight. I grant you that probably qualifies as obese in some cases but it's enough to send most down the low self-esteem trail.
Actually, men would do better if they made more money and dressed well... Very atractive women don't care if you're chubby if you look decient, take care of yourself (dress well and are clean) and prove that you can take care of them. If we're being honest.
Kissin' don't last -- Cookin' do (paraphrasing)
gee...thanks for the visusal....
Man... I didn't see that.... water cooler that is..rofl!
That is really interesting information.
I'm with you.
After 16 years my hubby still hasn't gone anywhere else. And you know what I look like :)
He has this really weird thing about agreements/contracts/oaths - his word is his bond.
