The stars just needed rebranding. There's no need for a negative 'star' as 1 used to be. If you disagree, you post, or you go away. Thems your choices.

All the stars should have been complimentary. 1 would be a bit good, 3 really quite good and 5 the goodest of the good.

How about we have a 'kiss' smilie whilst we're tinkering about?

Yeah but that rebranding wouldn't take, Trixie. Unfortunately, people decided one star meant bad poster lol.

I would like a five star option just bc I like stars. ; )

But I'd take a kiss-smile, option instead.

It's not all that surprising - at least, not for women. When someone cooks for two, they tend to put the same amount of food on both plates. That's fine if they have similar metabolisms, but men have naturally higher metabolisms (~300 cals/day if all other stats are the same). Not to mention that the man is often taller/heavier and the woman is rarely younger enough to counter that. So, if she eats as much as her husband, it makes sense that a woman will usually gain weight. She's eating more than she needs. Obviously, the exception would be a female marathon runner married to a couch potato or similar.

Could be that people take better care of themselves before they commit to a marriage; they think they don't have to watch their weight anymore because they're not on the make anymore - they're not looking for a potential partner anymore because they've already got one.

It could also be the good old home cooking that puts on the weight. I don't always eat as well when I'm alone - sometimes I skip meals altogether. If you share a meal with someone, it's possible that you eat more - especially if the company is good.
I think that's the most obvious possible explanation. More people probably make an effort to keep their weight down when they are trying to obtain a partner. Like a cartoon I once saw of a young couple walking on two adjacent treadmills in a gym. The woman said to the man "Why don't we get married already, I'm tired of exercising so much."

As far as the cooking and such.... I think the more regular eating out that goes with dating would be more likely to pack the weight on me than would the more frequent meals at home that goes with being in an established relationship.

I might be more pudgy, but I am happy and I have lots of great sex, so there!

Actually, as of this am, I am within 10 lbs of my "wedding weight" and that's even after having my baby boy! All things considered, I'd say I'm doin' alright
