| How much does your SO's weight and/or fitness level affect your attraction to them? I don't mean how much it should or shouldn't, I mean how much does it actually? For good and bad. |
| I'm the wife, and DH has probably gained about five pounds since we met. At the start of the pandemic we agreed to not drink alcohol, and to work out at least three times a week. Prior he'd been working out once, MAYBE twice a week. But he got pretty hardcore and worked out 4-6 times a week. I was really impressed with how much care he was taking with his body and mental health. |

I'm up about ten pounds since the start of covid. I don't walk to work anymore and I don't go to the gym as frequently (hate to workout with a mask on, yeah I know, I'm a whiner) so I'm now 135 on a 5'4" petite frame. It's not ideal but I look mostly okay, if not a little soft.
Dh on the other hand...he has a huge gut, fat face, can't fit into any clothes pre-covid let alone earlier than that. I know it is mean but he was 5'10", 170 when we met and now he's like 220. It WAS 250 at the height of covid but he has been able to lose some of that, so that's to be applauded I guess. |
| My DH has his COVID 5 and it doesn’t really matter to me. His BMI is normal. He looks fine, but not super in shape or anything. |
Where are you that people gained a covid-5 lol. Where I am it's more like a covid-50 |
|
My wife is in great shape and that is of course awesome.

H is naturally lean, but he’s put on a couple pounds since the pandemic. Not a ton, but he’s got a bit of fat on his lower abs, pecs, and teeny tiny love handles. I’m still wildly attracted to him, stare at him like a starving dog eyeing a burger when he walks around shirtless or naked, and we have sex daily.
BUT I will admit I am more attracted to him when he’s in peak shape. Love the feel of his abs, round butt, and muscular arms. Like follow him around all day, heavy breathing down his neck attracted. Which is probably why he was okay letting himself go, ha. Must be nice to get a break from me and my perverted comments. He’s the total opposite and loves when I put on weight. Normally I’m a size 2-4. I’m pregnant now and as soon as I started gaining he couldn’t keep his hands off me. Loves my new fat belly and butt and thighs, even tho all I can see is gut and cellulite and jiggle, lol. |
I am 135 on 5’4 frame and think I am looking hot! Lol! I guess I could lose 10 lbs, but for what?? |
Honestly, and I would not admit this to dh or anyone else irl because it sounds kinda pervy, but I think I look hot with the extra weight? I think I could stand to be 130 and tone up, but I look fine. |

My ex husband had a typical dad bod at the best of times, bordered on obese at other times. I'm a very fit 5"3, do pilayes and yoga 6 days a week.
Since my divorce, I've dated two guys who were completely ripped, and not gonna lie, the chemistry was sizzling hot in a way that I never had with my DH. I was in love with my DH, but these guys I physically lusted for. There is a difference. |
Ha I don’t think it’s pervy! We look better as we age with more fat. I’m 37. I think it looks good although would like my arms more toned. |
| We are both 50 and fit as f@@@ck. |
| I don’t it like it really matters if you’re in love with your spouse. We all change over time. |
He must have a fat mom or sister. My ex turned out to be attracted to pudgy women and his moms side was all fat women. |
Fat can also droop down and create jowls or double chins. Tight and lean looks great on anyone |
