It seems our bodies might be betraying us more than we realise when it comes to relationships.
A recent study in China found that men are more likely to gain weight after tying the knot compared to women. Exercising less and eating more, married men risk letting themselves go post-wedding.
But, according to a recent survey by married dating site IllicitEncounters.com, changes in a married man’s weight could also be a telltale sign of infidelity.
In a poll involving 1,200 of its male members, 74% said they’d put on weight since the day of the ‘I do’, and 61% of those blamed their wives for their poor eating and lifestyle habits before engaging in an affair.
A staggering 72% of men revealed they’ve been shedding pounds since embarking on their extramarital adventures, suggesting cheating could be the secret to losing weight. Incredibly, in the first three months of their affairs, love rats lose on average 11 pounds. Forget about keto or intermittent fasting; apparently, infidelity is the ultimate weight-loss plan.
For 39% of men, cheating on their partners has pushed them to work out more frequently, and 34% admitted to using the gym as an alibi for secret meets with their lovers.
Anthony from Glasgow, a member of IllicitEncounters.com who took part in the survey, said “I first noticed I was putting on weight about a year into my marriage, and it just seemed to spiral from there. Takeaways every other night, and endless evenings sat on the sofa – that’s about as exciting as my marriage got.
When I started having affairs about two years ago, I knew I had to start taking more pride in my appearance – I wanted to feel good emotionally and physically, and appear more attractive to women. From that moment, I vowed to work out more regularly and be careful with what I was eating.
If you were to see a photo of me from two years ago, you wouldn’t recognise me. The confidence I’ve gained from having affairs and the push it’s given me to want to take better care of myself is mental.
My wife’s obviously noticed the difference, but she just thinks I’m having a mid-life crisis!”
Relationship expert at IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni, commented on the results of the survey, saying “It’s no secret that at the beginning of a relationship, we tend to make more of an effort, with a huge emphasis on looking good in the hope of securing a life-long partner.
Well, it turns out once you’ve done all that hard work, it could all potentially go downhill. Complacency in marriage is a huge catalyst for infidelity – dull routines are a hurdle that many couples will face at some point in long-term relationships.
Just because your partner hits the gym religiously and can rock a pair of skinny jeans doesn’t mean they’re on the prowl for a secret rendezvous, but the next time your husband tells you they’re off to work out or starts mysteriously shedding pounds, you might want to start asking some questions.”
