Fatter Men...

[incredible]

Some opinions needed.... ( I have my views, but lets here yours)

Why do ALOT of MEN put weight on After marraige?

I have seen this trend. I mean I had a mate, he has always been skinny until last August when he got married. Since then he has gained some weight. When u look at his wedding pics there's a shocking difference! BUt in his defence he looks good now

So come on roll in in the opinions!

My cousin was a chubby kid growing up, then got damn slim for his wedding, a year or so later he got chunky again, hes trying to lose somehow by eating less and going to the gym...

Too much good home made food?

It's like women who get trim for their wedding or those who are quite concious of what they eat etc so they can look good... yet it all goes to pot after they get married. It's that feeling of getting comfortable and having that stability I suppose.

I know plenty of guys who hav got married and NOT put on weight...

Even my dad! Even after 20years of marriage he's not fat....
I think it all comes down to the person's lifestyle and preferences

good answer!

The thing I have noticed with alot of guys is that, alot of em actually want to gain weight, (I am talking about the slimmer guys in particular).

Get him on a High protein diet and get him on weights..soon he'll be sorted when he's looking like Arnie

Yes MS, there are peeps out there who will not gain weight no matter what. But I have noticed that even a small proportion of 'these people' have gained wieght and that's without even trying.

Like i said it comes to the lifestyle and preferences of the person... People have habits and routines before they are married.. then once married some people may have to change certain habits etc ..
Different people have different ways of dealing with things..

Not being fat and over weight while being married, hardly means they are "skinny people"

There is a middle ground you know..

yeah thats pretty much it i think, a lot of men and women let themselves go after they get married cos they think, 'oh i've snagged my partner now, why continue to make an effort'

if u want to get into specifics of body types...lets throw some diff body types in here:

Endemorph
Mesomorph
Ectomorph

and I think , well...... I know Navee was reffering to Ectomorph, which makes his 'theory' correct with his very limited choice of words lol.

I think these two opinions sum it all up pretty well for me.

A man/woman look after themselves well enough to find someone than just let it all go once, as Sunshine said, they have that stability. Also, I think its because when they get to that age of being married they start sorting taking more of a back seat to everything including their diet. Something like that anyway.

good points....but what about the stress factor that kicks in? more responsibility which means less time to sit back.....?

[neo_]

also u have less time to look after yourself.

and ur metabolism slows down as you age.

I know a few like that... naturally slim guys who don't gain weight easily.

Like mentioned, I think that would come back to lifestyle and personal habits/comforts. Like some people comfort eat or eat more when they're stressed whereas others are too stressed to eat properly.
