I'd say it has something to do with not staying up until 2 in the morning drinking and then spewing the contents of your stomach into the white throne every day.

<< Yo,
Women put on 15 lbs too.

they also cut their hair when they have a child 🙁

Beat me to it w/the haircut comment. 🙁 They get the "I'm a mommy now and I have no time to do my hair and make myself look presentable" haircut. Basically a boy's cut.

This may sound really weird, but when I see a woman w/kids and she's all fixed up (hair/makeup/nails) it turns me on because:

1. She can cook (she has kids...gotta feed 'em)
2. She still takes care of herself.

Very nice. Then again "turning me on" isn't exactly rocket science. me\<---typical caveman...pheronomes and all that.
 
Women damn sure do it too. However, my wife is one of those people that just never gain weight no matter what the hell she eats. She's a petite woman too. She "ballooned" up to 125lbs from 95lbs during pregnancy. She gave birth on a Tuesday morning. We left the hospital Saturday morning and she was already down to 100lbs. 3 days later it was like she was never pregnant.
 
Cuz you have more responsibilities and don't have as much time to work out, plus you would spend a lot of your pre-marriage spare time hanging out with your wife, and you eat more.
 
I hope I stay in good shape when I am married. I love working out and definately take care of my body as I don't want to be fat or overweight. The thought of me being fat and overweight is not pleasant to say the least!

As for my wife I'm not bothered. If shes happy I am happy. As long as shes happy about her figure then I am cool with it. As long as shes not 'too' big!........
 


<< I dont plan on it when i get married, since i now goto the gym and eat healthly, and so does the girl that I want to marry, and she feels the same way about keeping very nice body after marriage, neither of us want children. so theres no problem there either..... >>


Heh heh
 


<<

<< why do men gain weight afterg getting married? >>



for the same reasons women do

Exactly, all married couples i know, the women have put on lots more weight than the men have.

I didn't gain weight until the kids came. Here's why: "Mommy...I can't finish my ice cream" "Don't worry...daddy will finish it."
"Mommy, I don't want my popcorn." "Don't worry...daddy will finish it." And so on.
 
When I got married 10 years ago, my uncle told me to throw a penny in a bucket every time the newlywed's had sex for the first year. He said after the first year to take one out every time. He finished by telling me that I would be dead before I ever saw the buckets bottom. So far he has been correct. If I was to sit on the couch and eat chips for the same amount of time I used to spend pitching pennies I would be a fatass by now.

Luckily, I now have 3 kids and chasing them all over the homestead is keeping me fit and trim.
 
"they snore too"....

I am not even married to my wonderful man....but he snores NOW!
 


<< lol, because women believe in having something in the fridge besides beer and 3 yr old bottles of olives 🙂 >>



You forgot the bottles of ketchup and mustard.

As for the original question: The woman has to fatten you up so no other women will be interested.
