Do men care if their girlfriend gains weight?

Question

If so how much?

r-one · Accepted Answer

Honestly I can't put a number on it, I'm not into large women but if I found a woman I cared for and she gained 20-30lbs I wouldn't care. If she kept gaining weight I think I'd be more concerned than feeling/thinking I'm not attracted to her.

I've known women who were well over what I would stupidly imagine the 'perfect' woman to weigh and found them attractive.

Don't care. I like heavier women

My boyfriend told me he wouldn't care. And since dating, I've gained roughly 10 lbs. He loves my booty even more now, mas to grab on. He says even if I gained 30 lbs, he would be ok. But I think he would suggest working out together (since he loves working out) and I would be down for this because it's such a tactful way to ask your partner to get healthy.

With my last serious boyfriend, we both got really busy and stressed. I went from 125 to 138 (5'7) and he went from 180 to 220 (6'0). He constantly demeaned me about my weight gain and tried to control what I ate, despite his bigger weight gain. Needless to say, that relationship has turned me off relationships. 😡😡

Well if he really loves you then he shouldn't care. But then at the same time you gotta make sure you're healthy and not at risk of serious health issues

If my girlfriend is skinny, then I'd be okay with that, if she isn't, then I don't want her to gain weight

During pregnancy js understandable but if you've never had kids then yeah I care if she gains weoght. I think both people should try to look their best for their significant other. I hate how people decide to slack off when they get in a relationship. it's like "ohh I tried to try to look my sexiest when I was single and hooking up with guys at the club but now that I have a guy who's actually invested in me I'm going to let myself go! "

If we're talking fat, then 20 - 30 pounds. Because for one that affects her self esteem more than anything else. She'll always be upset that she doesn't fit in certain clothing and buying larger clothes will upset her too. As far as me being sexually attracted I still would be, but seeing your woman feel so down on herself about this really hurts you too. Especially when she can't feel comfortable in her own skin and can't see why you would be attracted to her.

Yes, I care. I'm pretty slim, almost skinny tbh but it's part intentional since I'm very active. Honestly, I would expect my girlfriend to take care of her health and her appearance as well. It's obvious that even if I have strong feelings for her I will not find her as desirable is he put on a lot of weight (slightly wouldn't matter though). Obviously I'd talk to her about it and hope she changes before any attraction I had goes away.

I would care, but you shouldn't have an attitude like that in the first place like "Once I get in a relationship it's fine to get fat or let myself go", you should be wanting to take care of yourself for other reasons than just to get into a relationship.

I'm pretty sure I'm in a relationship with her more than just her weight or figure, but let's not gain excessive amount of weight like giving up kind of weight.

NYkid27 · Answer

Tbh I would breakup with my girlfriend if she gained a noticeable amount of weight because I'm not attracted to overweight girls and I wouldn't date someone who I'm not attracted to at all

Mesonfielde · Answer

I'd only care if she's becoming overweight, which is unhealthy and a health risk. BMI 25+ it is.

Abe90 · Answer

I care if they do gain weight because I care a lot if I gain weight. I would want to be with someone who considers themselves health conscious

No pro if little weight but if she will look too fat I may leave her
