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?

As someone who once was on the receiving end of this sort of selfishness, it is painful enough that I’d never do that to someone else. I always fall for personality first, attraction to their face, body dead last after a lot of other traits. Of course, this might be on account of online dating. But, no– I would not break up with someone who gained weight.
Definitely agree. If anything I would be concerned for my partner and want to help her lose it, or take her to the doctor. How dense can you be?
People like that give us good guys a terrible name.
Josh, good point. People also must realize that once a relationship is had, unless you make it a point that fitness is important, chances are someone is going to get comfortable and let their guard down… bad habits will happen. People only take care of themselves, it seems, when they are attempting to woo someone anyhow.
Someone that you are dating when he/she have normal weight. Suddenly the person gains weight and you decided to leave her isn’t it madness? is not advised to breakup like that. Your partner will fell so bad, especially when she is truly in love with you.
