Why Women Should Love Fat Men
Weightwatchers ^

Women should fall in love with heavy men because they are more likely to be faithful lovers than their thin, svelte friends.
That's the word from the German market research group Forsa, which concluded that men who are of average weight are twice as likely to be unfaithful as heavy men. Why? You might hastily conclude that fat men don't have as many opportunities to stray.
You would be wrong. They are less likely to cheat on their partners because they are less inclined to engage in risky sex. Overweight men are also less likely to visit brothels or call sex telephone hotlines.
The study: Some 1,000 German men between the ages of 31 and 69 were interviewed and asked about their sexual interests. Normal weight men: 23 percent were interested in having an affair. Moderately overweight men: 19 percent would consider an illicit affair. Fat men: 11 percent said they would cheat on their wives or girlfriends. The researchers insist it is not a lack of opportunity that helps keep heavier men faithful to their one true love. Instead, their desire for risky sex decreases.
But here is an interesting question to consider: Since two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, being unfit and fat has become the new normal. And apparently, we're just fine with the fact that we're a few pounds too heavy, according to a new survey called "Fitness American Style," commissioned by the International Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), an industry trade group in Boston, reports MSNBC.
Fully 70 percent say they are completely or somewhat satisfied with their physical health, while 66 percent said the same about their physical appearance. And even though most of us don't exercise, 52 percent are satisfied with the amount of exercise they get.
What does this mean? Expanding waistlines are becoming the accepted norm. The survey found that while most Americans are overweight and sedentary, many aren't bothered by it, says Bill Howland, director of research at IHRSA. "I wonder if Americans walk around and see other people who are overweight and not physically active and that's becoming an accepted norm," he told MSNBC. "That's alarming if that is in fact happening."

Actually, I heard on the news that Fatties have less, alot less testosterone in there system which is the Powerhouse of male sex hormones, so I guess that is why they would rather indulge in the flavors of the month at Stone Cold Creamery! HAHA

Excess weight on a man is seldom an obstacle to winning over goodlooking babes. Neither are his looks, really.
Ladies, beware the average looking, nice gentleman in your life with a very good rap. More often than not, he knows what he is doing! (I know I do!)

I know the answer is obvious but the question begs asking - what about fat girls - are they more likely to be faithful?
I read somewhere that a pig has a half hour long orgasm, not that we are talking about pigs in the literal sense.
But i guess it doesn't work the same if your a human and a pig right - darn

The most confusing but at the same time, the best post today.
P.S. There are some FReepers here who grew up on a farm and can probably tell you about pigs, if you know what I mean.

"What does it mean" is the question that the reporter asks in the last paragraph.

This sounds farfetched (and that's speaking from experience as a paunchy, graying 40 something). But you must see this. ;')

A man whose passion is reserved for his stomach's appetite is not likely to be a ball of fire in the sack, unless he's rummaging for potatoes.

I wholeheartedly agree. Pass the sour cream. [burp]
