How fat is too fat?

[Daveman]

I'm surprised none of the old timers mentioned this, but a married member years ago claimed to have put a clause in his wife's prenup about potential sanctions should her weight exceed a certain level.

I don't know if it's true or not as he may have been yanking people's chains (I certainly hope so).

good lord..  it really does take all kinds, doesn't it?  I too hope he was the proverbial chain yanker.

It is possible.. I once nearly became engaged to a woman who turned out to be an heiress to a rather large fortune.  I quit the relationship because of the prenup.  It did include clauses on weight and believe it or not on sexual intimacy.  She was NUTS, yet, someone married her.  I feel bad for him.

Mannnn... you really have a story for everything.  I can't wait till you write your autobiography and they make a movie about you. 

It's a shame a fantasy movie has already taken the title, "Neverending Story"

My husband's weight have not varied much in a 8 years that we are together. Also he is very fit. I had answered the poll "11-20lbs" with hypothetical situation in mind - I find men less attractive when they are 7-10 kg heavier than my husband while having his height. Either these 11-20lbs are extra muscles, or extra fat - doesn't matter. I am not too much attracted to square or round frames. I cannot say though that i'd find my husband less attractive had he gained weight. When i look at him I mostly look beyond appearance - into his heart and mind. These two are the most attractive things for me in my husband, though he is extremely attractive physically (and not only for me ;-)..)

OK Sculpto, so which one of the two provisions in her prenup did you suspect you'd have difficulty fulfilling?  :crackthewhip:

I wish to know in the original poll did you mean when you met, after you had started dating, or what???
It makes a difference TAZ.
I have talked with friends about this and after we are in a relationship the importance falls. NOBODY, if they are honest, looks for a fat partner.

The question pertains to already being partners, not in the "search" phase.  So fire away with your vote and comments..
