Over 50% of Wives/Partners/Girlfriends report that they want their “husbands” to lose weight. It’s more likely that they really want is for them to be in better shape and lose that belly. (comments anyone?)
Tara Parker-Pope writes in her Well blog on the NY Times that:
“Just over half of married women in the United States want a thinner husband…”
In my experience, married women want their husbands to be in better shape. It’s not simply about body weight but rather more specific:
- a bulging stomach, no butt and flabby muscles is simply unattractive to women.
So Dads & Married Men. Here’s my advice: Have fun and figure out how to lose that belly. Make sure that whatever you chose you don’t over do it at first. Injuries lead to more fat accumulation. Being out of shape is not helping you or most likely your sex life.
PS. Single Males and Hipsters
- that bulging mass is not helping you out man. using your body to make a statement about how you don’t buy in to the “mass marketing of fitness” while admirably is simply foolish. Go climb some rocks, skateboard, or take a survival course but whatever you do: Lose the gut.
