About 98 % of women looses up to 57% of her beauty when they moves from slim to big but lot of women dont know or dont care . Its still very much okay for women that were originally big ,

And your point?

My point is those women dont know how disappointed their husbands or some other admirers get when they change . If they know how sad it is they will go to any extent to burn off those fat . A good example is Lara of the music group called CUSH . Men, me as a person i feel very very disappointed that she could allow herself to be that big .

Then men have a problem on their hands and they better stay single cos there is no guarantee that they will be lucky enough to marrry the 2% of women who wont get fat after marriage

hmnnn! i guess you too have gained so much weight since getting married. I dont blame you, I blame Mr CC who kept increasing your monthly allowance and I also blame Asda that keep doing those BOGOF promo.


@topic
There is a reason why we have gyms everywhere. Wonder why many married women stop visiting those places after they got married.

married women should avoid building up excess fats, not just because it affects how they look, but for health reasons too.

I hope I don't grow fat but my husband should be able to help me control my weight and also love me as I am.

...

They say you can look at the mother to tell how your future wife will will develope.

Chei, fat married naija women don suffer

Thank God i am/have neither of the 4 attributes i listed not a single one

chaircover:

This topic has been thrashed a number of times so OAM4J I thank God you are not Mr CC & BTW I find more married women in the gym than married men.

This is the problem many people have; they only marry their partners based on physical features/appearance and as soon as things begin to go south, east and west they suddenly fall out of love.

People must try and keep a healthy weight for health reasons more than anything else.

98% sounds like a figure the poster plucked from the air & lets face it we all cant look like Victoria Beckham   

Am definitely not in agreement with the %, just that the argument hold true for many married women and I think that many of these married women should be encouraged to lose some weight especially for health reasons

Yes I agree with you that same apply to many men and all women cant look like Victoria Beckham. But not all men also want Victoria, some of us prefer Queen Latifah

For me beauty is a whole lot more than physical attributes and that explains why I consider you beautiful even though I have not seen any of your pics. Too bad am not Mr CC, I envy him 

This is every non-married and married man's nightmare.

What about Nigerian men with potbelly?

^^^ Article clearly says 'Nigerian Women' .

They say you can look at the mother to tell how your future wife will will develope.

That's not quite true, as this statement assumes they will lead exactly the same kind of lives.

The truth is, even as single women, working out was not that much of a priority for most of the women in question;and if they did, it was not as a lifestyle choice, but something they did because it made them look good at the time, and because it made them more attractive to the opposite sex.
So when marriage and children come along, with its added responsibilities, it becomes a big ask to devote time to something that was never a lifestyle to begin with.
There are also psychological factors at play here. It is well researched that both men and women tend to let themselves go after marriage as there less of a reason to focus on looking physically in shape ( the main reason is to attract the opposite sex). Unfortunately, or fortunately, married women still put a lot of effort, and money into looking goo; its just not of the physical type!

The problem i have is with married women who claim they do not have the time for exercise. They however DO find the time to consume copious amounts of food (a bad diet is 70% of the reason for weight gain), they have time for "owambe" parties, nollywood movies, dinners, hanging out with friends, etc. The plain fact is the time will NOT spontaneously appear; you have to be determined to find it - NO matter how difficult it is.

My main gripe, however, is with the husbands who moan about their wives weight gain. Most do not exercise either, and have put on considerable weight themselves, so its all a bit hypocritical.
My advice is - if you want your wife to lose weight, join a gym yourself. Lead by example, support and encourage her. If that fails, then you have a right to moan.
Remember, this is not really about looking good, but rather about prolonging your life and increasing the quality. High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases and Cancer are the main killer in our communities. ALL directly related to a bad diet, uncontrolled weight gain and a lack of exercise.

Thank God. I thought I was the only nerd around here. phew!
But drinking is not the only thing that causes potbelly, se o moh sha?
Nasty fastfood, lase, food high in card/starch [Nigerian food].

But I don't know why Nigerian men detest looking good. . . .once they get married, that idea is thrown out of the window. While we Nigerian women slave hard to look good for our husband.

Nigerian men tend not to look good anywaz. Engine eyes b4/afta marraige, talkless of potbelly lol
Na true o, Nigeria makes one lose weight. Easiest 15lbs I've ever lost. Maybe it's because the food at home do not have excess suga and fat. I don't eat American food much so I dont know sha.

How do we know you're not rubbing your perfectly round potbelly as you type now?

Akpu is cassava=fufu

And if nigeria men tend not to look good that i guess I really am unique . And yea wen u go back home its the healthy food, and the sun helps drain out all of the preservatives that we've consumed from the food here.Notice how good your skin feels and looks wen you get back to the US.

g*d forbid bad tin. No potbelly for me, *hissss , lol

Can't be conceited, never.
But I can be truthful. . . . and that was the truth, sweety.

U are getting my % wrong . I mean 98% of those that get fat when they get married looses their beauty not 98% of married woman get fat . My point is these women dont know the extent at which their beauty depreciate . if they knew , i am so sure they will go to all extent to keep in shape .

Who fuckin cares!

Beads Bum Bum must you derail every thread on NL?

if you like big butt then that means you like fat women.

it's not rocket science, ok?  enough whining.

big butt = fat later on.

abi isnt fat the reason why the butt is big?

you people should start thinking with your up here, not down there.

if you claim not to like fat women then quit jumping up whenever you see a big behind.

Date only stick thin women with flat front and back.

Come on lets retract here. Date womwn with flat butts? I don;t think any guys want a woman with a washboard for an azz.that's a no sir-ry bob. And your "Up here" works in unison with your "down there". It's a perfect match.

No more than men getting beer guts,passing gas,

and expanding bald spots or dying their greying mop

of hair after they get married. The combovers don't make

their baldspots less noticeable,nor does dying their hair jet

black with a sagging face full of wrinkles make them look

"distinguished"


Women will accept anything from a man appearance wise(in general)

whereas some men are appearance based because that's not what marriage

should be based on.

You have budgeted $$$$ to keep your wife a size 2? Looking good 24/7 costs

money and some married women have priorities(like raising a family,putting the children's

and husband's needs first)

Seriously speaking, in some society a woman's status is enhanced when she add up weight and tie ankara. Some are even complimented on how well their husband is taking good care of them. I think sometimes it's societal (african) influence
