As a single man I’d skip meals without even realizing, but now we plan meals together and if I don’t say anything she will, so I don’t miss many meals now
As soon as my partner started cooking all our meals I gained weight. When it was just my lazy ass feeding me, I ate simple things like a sandwich, noodles, or a microwave meal. I have no idea what she puts in the food (it’s delicious) but the caloric intake is higher than when I was feeding myself.
Butter probably. I read somewhere that restaurant food is more tasty because they put lots more butter and sugar in it.
Can confirm. Separated a year ago. I’m down 90lbs
Yeah, this is currently my problem. We don’t have anyone to help take care of the children. I cannot exercise if I don’t wake up at like 4am (all the gums are closed) and ride my bike. This takes a toll on me however.
You cannot excercise your way to weightloss without also make serious diet changes.
The thing is that I am eating very little. I am also almost in my 40s so my metabolism has started to slow down.
Likely because most men suck at cooking, and most women are expected to cook. So it’s basically from “I’m eating to survive” into “I’m eating tasty stuff”.
When I was engaged there was some odd reversal of that, my then fiancée complaining about gaining weight. Because guess what, she went from eating what her anosmic mum prepared to what some wog prepared. And c’mon, food is a biiiig deal for us wogs.
Is this correlation related to marriage specifically or can it also be observed in long-term, stable, cohabiting relationships?
In either case, what does this suggest?I’d also like to see if they controlled for age. I’m currently on my phone so I’m not when going to bother hunting down the study.
Age is mentioned as a contributing factor in the news piece so they seem to have at least investigated both marriage and age (in addition to depression).
The news piece doesn’t appear to link to any published study. They do mention that the findings will be presented so perhaps a peer-reviewed publication will follow too?
See my other comment. We are not married. In fact, I started gaining weight before she officially moved in.
It is only three times more, because they count the unmarried men in relationship. Versus single men i bet the probability is >x10.
On the plus side, if you have kids they’re statistically less likely to end up in prison.
On the plus side
Heh
👶 Thanks spherical dad 🪐 for keeping me out of prison.
Well, I am not one of those unmarried men. I’m a really good cook, okay?
We’ve all noticed this, right? Some of it is just age, but my dad ballooned just after he married and I doubt it was a coincidence.

Basically the rule among the average Balkan slavs, across sexes. :D
The guy in the picture does not look obese to me, just overweight
