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".

Besides, sexy is an attitude not a dress size.

Very true. But when Anna Nicole Smith was in her fat days, I never looked at her and said "Damn, now that's a sexy woman." And she has all the attitude in the world.

Was this "study" sponsored by the pasta and bread makers' associations?

Just another attempt to put the onus on anything but morality and personal responsibility. Newsflash - sky appears blue.. more at 11..

I don't think I'm insane, a little crazy maybe but not insane.

Trust me. You're insane. ;^D

It's not the weight, or the size, it's how it's arranged ;o)

Maybe because those who have such huge woman are ugly men themself and so do not go around...

Funded by Fat, Ugly, Lonely Lobby (FULL).

Maybe it's the intimidation factor. A 98-pound girl is no threat to beat you up when she finds out about it but a 160-pound girl could.

Just a thought.

In Russia it is said: Thin lipped people liar and cheat.

[mewzilla]

Gee, they'd rather have their wives expire early from some weight-related illness than deal with their own self-esteem problems? Glad I'm not married to one of them.

Skinny girls are less likely to be good cooks

Maybe in mutant land of US, but not in Europe. My wife excellent cook and she is tiny, just a like almost all women.

[RussianConservative]

Beside, when I was to US, what I notice is that most fat women are not cooks at all, that is why they are so fat: burgers, shake and chips.

Apparently humor doesn't translate into Russian very well. Therefore, I'll not attempt a snappy comeback regarding Russian cuisine, for fear of restarting the Cold War.

If my wife could make borscht like they do in Ukraine, she would be the perfect woman.

I am in a book group with other women. Sometimes we talk about sex. I noticed that the skinniest women were the ones who wanted the least sex and complained about their husbands "demands" on them for sex. The heavier women were more interested in sex.

I talked to my husband about this. He is an OB/GYN. He suggested that there might be a biological reason for this. Sex hormones are stored in fat and heavier women could have higher hormone levels than skinny women. If this results in greater libido for fat women vs skinny women, that could explain why men with fat wives are less likely to stray. They are getting more sex at home than men with skinny wives.
