Survey finds: Men with skinny wives/girlfriends more likely to stray

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".

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?

I believe that's the point they are trying to make. I have a sister-in-law that is larger than a size 16. She's always feared her husband would stray and has taken every effort she could to make my brother-in-law as unattractive to others as she can.

"And thin-lipped women are *itches."

They should get some hydrocortizone for that.

Men with unattractive wives are more likely too unattractive to stray.

Meanwhile 3 in 10 men have much lower grocery bills.

*snicker*...this is almost as good as the thread about the German couple who didn't know how to have sex.

Did they consider that men married to women size 16 or larger may not be as honest?

most men with fat wives are ugly themselves so the odds are against them to begin with.

As many Freepers know, old Exile is one dashing stud. However there's nothing wrong with a woman with a little meat on her bones. What's wrong with Voluptuous?

Totally agree with you regarding caorrelation not equalling causation......however I take exception to you implication about a size 12 not being skinny.

Being 5'10 and 115 pounds kind of falls into the skinny category.....but I wear a size 12.

Re: your tagline: so true!

Yesterday, I was in her hometown of Kinston, NC.
She was nowhere to be seen, though.

That presupposes that skinney=attractive and overweight=unattractive.

I have seen some very ugly skinny women as well as some astonishingly attractive slightly overweight women.
