Would You Leave Your Partner If They Gained Weight?

AskMen spoke to 70,000 of their male readers recently, asking them a slew of questions about their girlfriends, sex lives, and dating preferences. One of the more shocking results (in my opinion) was the question regarding their partner’s weight – namely, if their partner gained weight during the relationship, would they end things?

The AskMen readers were split almost 50/50 between a yes/no answer, with the no vote winning by a slight 4% margin. Surprising? For me, yes, but it also lead to a host of other questions. Would women asked the same question answer in the same vein? How old were the men in the survey? How long were these men in a relationship (if at all) and had they ever actually ended a relationship because their partner gained ‘too much’ weight? How much is too much weight to gain before ending things?

So dear readers, I’m asking you: how much is too much weight? Is a relationship doomed when one of you gains weight?
