    Women -- are your husbands going bald?
    My 24 year old husband has a very prominent receding hair line. Does that mean it's time to cheat on him? :laugh:

    ...Marriages go stale often because people just let themselves go. They think it doesn't matter anymore because they love you for you... which is true...but women should WANT to look good for their husband, at least I think!!!

    I agree! I want my future husband to be proud as hell of the woman on his arm! ...or at least be hottest daughter in law in the family ;)

    No, women should want to look good for themselves and their husbands should find THAT sexy -- along but secondary to their physical appearance. And something tells me you'll stand out among the daughter in laws, though I am not sure it will be in the way you want.

    Yes it is, unless he's actively seeking treatment hair replacement -- HE'S NOT THE MAN YOU MARRIED UNLESS HIS HAIR LINE IS THE SAME.

    Yes, once the man's hairline recedes, the woman starts looking elsewhere. I've never experienced this, but I'm better educated on this matter than you may think.

    Clearly, I married you for your thick hair line.

    I met my boyfriend in the process of losing weight. Before I met him I had lost about 60 lbs.

    Since we've been together (about 9 months) I've continued to lose weight (20 lbs) but just not as quickly or as easily as before I met him and he gained weight (about 20 lbs.)

    It's all about perspective and whether or not you continue to keep your own goals in mind as you enter into a relationship.

    He's finally having a moment where he's realizing that going out to eat, attending social events, all the fun stuff that we do as a couple needs to be balanced with exercise and healthy meals during the workweek.

    He lost 4 lbs last week! So proud of him <3

    This... is the single most ridiculous thing I've read all day. There is far more that contributes to cheating than a woman 'getting fat' and not being pleasing to her man. And by the way, I've seen a lot of very overweight men out there... are they immune from this theory of yours?

    If your 'advice' is applied to men, the stomach shouldn't reach any further than a man's pride and joy. If it does, that's it - the woman cheats.

    And now, I'm going to go continue laughing at this whole exchange.
    THIS is why I married you, Leech.

    You just love me for my snark... :tongue:

    Seriously, given all the douche canoes that seem to be out there -- I'm glad I got somebody who's love and devotion isn't based on 75 pounds. Funny how I want to stay in shape and look nice for you (and let's not lie, me too) because you're not telling me I need to deserve your love.

    People.

    If we ever own a boat, I want to name it 'Douche Canoe'.

    You always look good to me, by the way. Like I always say, I love you for you and not because I have some stupid idea in my head that you need to conform to.

    I gained weight after getting with my last bf. He took culinary classes in high school and was the most amazing cook! Unfortunately he had a super fast metabolism so he never worried about all the fat that was going into those dishes! And of course, once you're going on regular dates, you're probably going out to dinner more...

    I blame him for a good 10 pounds of weight gain!

    I can truly say my wife put on some weight after we got together but it does look great on her. She was very petite and when she put on a little bit it definately went to the right spots. Regardless my wife could be 100 lbs over weight and I would NOT love her any less. I did marry the girl of my dreams and my friend of 18 years. We have been married a year and a half and it has been the best decision of my life. Though this past year she has been having many health problems causing her weight she is still so gorgeous....

    You rock!

    If a woman is trying on clothes and asks, "Does this make me look fat?" the right answer is, "You are not fat."

    Single people are still trying to find a mate or at least make it on to someones booty call list, so they tend to be more aware of how they look.
    eh, speak for yourself!! 'Booty call list'? Is that a list of names a person has if they want sex (sorry, I'm not American so am not completely familiar with phraseology)? Is that not just prostitution but without money changing hands?

    1. Yeah its your roster

    2. Did you just say that having sex with someone you know is clean, cares about you, is fun in bed, sexually compatible with you and doesnt mind that you arent looking for a relationship at the moment because of whatever legitimate reason.... makes you a *kitten*?

    I would never ever ask that. It seems a ridiculous question... I mean, what if the answer is "yes".. Don't ask questions you maynot like the answer to...

    I'm not a man, but I gained 60lbs in the 5 years that we were dating! It wasn't on purpose of course, and I've lost almost 40 of it now and I plan on getting back to where I was when we first got together...but it happened!

    My wife is on here and I'll comment. Yeah - after our second child we both got out of shape and put on a bunch of excess baggage. You don't have anyone to try to impress anymore, so you just let things slide.

    Fortunately we decided to work together to get back in shape and look completely different then what we did 20 months ago.

    awesome - good job :)

    :smile: My BF is smart enough not to "go there" with this type of conversation. LOL. He adores me at any weight and has amply demonstrated that. I guess I have more "qualities" than just my body and my looks. Brains, education, career, character, integrity, fidelity are a good start!

    Perhaps, she has grown older and with age women's metabolisms slow down, or perhaps she has had a few kids. Are you imagining she "let her self go" simply because she is now married to you, "Prince Charming". LOL

    Maybe you need to go to a few high school class reunions, those "male hunks" I remember in high school, sure don't look the same anymore. I guess they got married and let themselves go, too... LOL

    awwww, but i used a winky face, didn't that elude to my being kinda sorta jokey? ...it should have. I certainly want to look good for myself, but a big motivator, too, is knowing that my future spouse is proud of his confident woman.

    All of the women in my family (aunts, mom, grandmother, etc.) are in very good shape. That's a big reason why I wanted to lose weight, I didn't want to be the fat kid in the family!

    If my husband came on here talking about my weight without me knowing, I probably would be hurt. Just saying.

    Word....Wife bashing is always inappropriate and the sign of a bad husband.
