    Never heard it from the other side before! To be fair, I never gave a hoot about the other half's reaction. That's really cute though.

    It's been the opposite for me although I do have a few friends who gained when in a new relationship and lost when it went sour...I find that when I'm happy, I tend to care more about how I look, whereas when I'm sad, I just eat for comfort. I guess it's saying something that since I got married, I've lost 20 lbs.

    I gained 20 pounds the first two years of college. Then I met my boyfriend junior year, and here I am two years later, 40 (total) pounds heavier than my starting college weight! Well, 36 pounds now

    What annoys ME about men, is that they don't get fat thighs, or a big butt...I seem to gain weight ALL over, but the DH just gets a beer gut. And when he loses weight, boom, it goes straight from there. He decided, oh, I'm going to start running...55 lbs loss later, and he's running 4 to 6 miles a day.

    (funny enough, he GAINED all that weight when I was pregnant with our 5th chid!)

    I'm busting my behind at the gym 5 days a week, running, lifting, sweating, swearing...

    My boyfriend loses weight so easily too. I think a lot of men do. Men's bodies are designed to burn energy and create muscle, whereas women's bodies are designed to conserve energy and create fat, for childbearing. On top of that society has stricter, trimmer standards for women than they do for men.
