There is a theory that relationships between people of similar levels of atractiveness work best. Sure, there are many relationships that seem to go against this but how long do they last? I'm a pretty good looking guy but I fluctuate between 20-60 lbs overweight. I was married to a very attractive, lithe woman 5 years younger than me and she left me when I hit that 60. My weight was only mentioned once, way down the list of reasons but I know for sure that several of her friends were telling her she could do better. With the benifit of hindsight i'm pretty sure our 12 year relationship had been kickstarted by her own insecurities. She grew up thinking she was 'ugly' because of glasses and freckles and met me at a time when I was quite rich and even a little famous so who knows?
Now i'm with a woman who is similarly attractive. I'm maybe 30 lbs overweight and it's going down and it turns out she's quite worried that as I lose it, i'll become too attractive to other women so I have to reassure her that she's gorgeous (she is). Basically, she has a killer body and an uncoventionally beautiful face while I have a the face on top of a rather overweight body. She seems genuinely concerned that a slim version of me will be out of her league...
So what happens now?, I slowly erode the lack of self confidence her dickhead ex-husband gave her then risk, if I put the weight back on, her thinking she can 'do better'.
It'll be good inspiration to keep the weight off anyway
