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".

More relevant: Why didn't they study the appearances of the men who cheat?
Now, me -- I'm not fat and I'm not skinny, just kind of average. So where would I fit on this spectrum?
According to this "survey" higher on the scale than me!!!!!
These things are such a joke!!!!
And on that note I gotsta scoot - school bus will be here any minute....FReep at you later!!!!!
True. But not all insane women are skinny. Nor does it follow that insane skinny women are named Thelma. It is not entirely clear that all insane plump women are mammals. It cannot be inferred that all mammals named Thelma are plump insane women. It is true that all mammals have two or more legs, but not all Thelma legs are skinny.
Just trying to inject a little logic here.
You would be an insane mammal named Thelma.
My mother told me to stay away from women with thin lips.
Unless they are mammals, insanely named Thelma.
And it is greatly appreciated.
Hey buster, before you go slinging that mutant label around, don't forget who's got that Chernobyl problem!
There, I've quite possibly saved your life...as well as from mean women.
Like this fellow?
I am 5'3" & weight considerably more than 115 & I wear a size 12. You should be wearing about a size 6 or 8 at the largest, in my estimation. If I weighed 115 which I did when I got married, I would be wearing a size 4 again.
but would you rather date someone of average height who is a size 8 or a size 16? (all other attributes aside)...

Is that so...
Perhaps you didn't the read the part where Gabz said that she's 5-foot-10? She is tall and very thin (with fantastic legs!).
Nice to know snookum's won't be strayin'....
(OK, so I threathened to pile all his stuff in the yard and set it on fire if he did).
What do they consider skinny? Boney? Well duh...who wants to hug a bone BUT size 12? I don't think so!! They have changed sizing. I know because a size 6 that I bought 5 yrs. ago will not fit. A size 6 bought today fits perfect. So I guess a size 12 is actually about an 18?

Yeap. I'm a hunka hunka burnin' love...
Damm you!
Yes I know she is 5'10", My best friend is 5'10" & weights about 125 & she doesn't even wear a size 12. (I refer to my friend & I as Mutt & Jeff, I can't remember which was the short one.)
