Men Answer ONLY!

I would still Love her just as much. But yes, she would be physically less "hot" to me. Mentally and emotionally it wouldn't change.

Same here. She wouldn't be as 'hot' to me if she gained a lot of weight, but I'd still love her. A woman isn't only her weight, lol.

Anyway, with regard to those comments about a late 30-something not having the body of a 20 year old... that's not always a bad thing. Lots of fat/skinny/awkward/pimply early 20-somethings become more toned and/or fill-out later in life. After all, not everybody was a 'perfect' at 20. Unlike medical conditions etc, age is no excuse for being overweight!

Anyway, despite being single, I just felt like voicing my opinion. Carry on.

If my wife gained a lot of weight, I would love her just the same. But I think it's fair to say that I defintely would be more sexually attracted to her if she was healthy and in shape. To say otherwise would be to lie.

I voted yes but that does'nt mean I would love her less.
My wife is about 30 pounds heavier since we married 10 years ago and we have 2 kids together. But when my wife had a figure she was hot. Now she in my eyes is still hot but not as hot as she was when she was 20 years old. I love her the way she is but it would be nice if she made an effort to get fit.

I married my wife for better or for worse. She tries to keep herself slim for both of us. Not that I ask or demand it. She does it because she loves me and likes looking good for me.

My wife gained quite a bit after our second child. It really didn't matter to me, but I never told her so.

Finally, she got tired of her extra weight and did something about it. She is now back down to a size six and looks more beautiful than the day we met. Unfortunately, she doesn't want me to tell her so since we are having big problems at the moment. But God will find a way to break down those barriers, and our marriage will be better than ever.

As a bonus, I am now losing weight after seeing her success. I have already lost 15 lbs on my way to 30. God does work in mysterious ways!

I voted that a weight gain would not make my wife less "hot" to me and that is a true statement. However, weight is a big factor for me and for us. We have had members of our family develop illnesses and some have died as a result of complications due to weight gain.

As a result, I/we have made it a point to maintain a reasonable wieght. We are in our 50s now and have a set weight range that we target weekly. We watch our eating habits and exercise every day.

We love each other very much and want to do our part to live a healthy life and to do what we can to be here for each other. So weight gain is not just about being physically attractive to each other.

According to the bible, my body belongs to my wife and hers to me. As such, it is our responsibility to maintain that gift to each other it its best physical condition.

Don't get me wrong, we are not fanatics about diet and exercise and we have each gained a few pounds since we got married 28 years ago, but we want to take care of our bodies to make sure that it is not weight realted issues that cause us problems going forward.
