I must warn you now this is going to sound harsh.  I feel bad for people whose mates have “let themselves go”.  Its saddening to see a person who takes care of themselves chained down to a blob.

As people age they gain weight.  Things don’t have to be this way.  Since it occurs with so many people it has become a “fact of life”.

The evolution from attractive to blob status usually follows this timeline:

• Man/woman takes care of himself/herself while single.  Single people know that they are competing.
• Man/woman gradually loses site of fitness or health goals as a relationship progresses.  Complacency begins to set in.
• Man/woman loses all interest in physical upkeep and fitness several years into the marriage.  After this occurs the body starts to look less and less attractive.

In all honesty it isn’t fair for a mate to be placed in this situation.  The mate has to deal with a loss of attraction while trying not to come off like a jerk.

Certain people deal with this issue by having a weight requirement of their potential mate.  This technique is brazen and cold (yet effective).  Even if you don’t like the technique you have to admit one thing…being upfront about weight issues is the best way to address them.

With regards to weight requirements how do you feel?  Is it the right thing to do?  Is it insensitive?  Let us know.
