Do Overweight Women Have Worse Relationships?
By Emily FarrisJune 24th, 2009, 3:12 pmComments (5)
A new study out of the University of Hawaii posits that overweight women have lower quality relationships than their slimmer counterparts. This news, of course, just makes us want to eat a hamburger.
Associations between body mass index (BMI) and relationship quality and other partner/relationship perceptions were investigated in 57 couples in New Zealand. Heavier women had lower quality relationships, which they predicted were more likely to end. They partnered with less desirable men and thought their partners would rate them as less warm/trustworthy.
Make that a double. With bacon, please.

Screw that. My BMI is certainly over what it should be and I love my relationship with my partner. And I think I'm pretty hawt too boot ;)
What's with this photo? It's reading 1126. She's either over a thousand pounds, in which case she'd be much larger, or shes 112.6, making her thin.
Think in kilos, American amigo. That's about 250lbs.
Seems clear the real correlation is between BMI and self-worth, and self-worth and relationships. New Zealand needs some new shit to study.
Theambershow, think in kilos...
