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".

Ooh PULEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE.
Some people obviously have WAY too much time on their hands.
IMO..... Oh never mind, don't want to get in trouble :-)
1. Maybe the men are too scared to stay...
2. Maybe the men are not that attractive so they couldn't stray if they wanted...
Damn! All that dieting for nothing. LOL
Was tax money used to fund this study? Jeeze!
Are they trying to say that men who have pretty women as wives do so based on looks and have little problem in repeating their behavior when they find other women who have that same trait?
All skinny women are insane.
Which Spice girl was she, Posh? If so, she was the hottest.
It's probably because he fears what she'll do to him if he fools around. I was always told to pick on someone my own size.
My guess is that the "staff writer" is a size 18.
But the overweight ones are often miserable and bear the scars of low self esteem and that, is the worst affliction a woman can have.
By George, I think you've got it!
I think that's Mrs. Exile's theory. I would never stray, but if I was tempted, I know my wife would throw me around like a rag doll.
basic rule of statistic that the media in unable to understand, correlation does not equal cauality. In this case I suspect the men married to "skinny" women (not sure when size 12 became skinny) are more attractive themselves, thus more able to find a willing partner to have an affair with.
And thin-lipped women are *itches.
