According Ask Men's annual Great Male/Female Surveys, half of all straight men say they would dump a girlfriend who got fat. 20 percent of straight women say they'd dump a boyfriend who got fat.
Silver lining: Half of straight men also think can tell when women fake orgasms, and another half say they would be upset if they discovered a woman had been faking orgasms. So, with any luck, these are all the same half of men, and when they dump their fat girlfriends, the girls respond, "All my orgasms were fake, anyway.
Half of Men Would Dump Their Girlfriends for Getting Fat
OK FYM guys: Would you dump your girlfriend for putting on weight? Does it depend how much weight she puts on? What about you, are you keeping your weight under control? What if she gets pregnant with your kid?
Or do you find this study to be misrepresentative of the American male?
I'll be honest - if the man I am dating suddenly lets himself go and gains 100lbs, if he doesn't do anything about it, I may consider letting him go. I prefer someone who takes care of himself.
Honestly, I think we could have a good discussion here on dating, appearances, and the differences between the sexes as well as same sex dating.
