Has anyone else noticed, that a lot of people will let themselves go (get fat) and lazy, once they're in a relationship. I've noticed that whenever my friend gets a girlfriend, she'll progressively get fatter the longer she's with him, the same thing when my other friend gets a girlfriend and I've seen it with other guy friends girlfriend's as well. When I was in my last relationship, I noticed I did become lazy and slacked off a lot with my diet and training. I vowed never to do that ever again once the relationship ended. So, anyway has anyone experienced, or witnessed this
Then according to your theory you could tell how long a couple has been together by their weight, or rather by how much they are overweight. You might even make a chart. But a theory is just a theory until its been scientifically tested (and confirmed). To do that you would have to go up to random couples carrying a scale and measuring tape and get their height, weight and length of their relationship. I do not suggest it however as if you tried I would expect to find you hospitalized by the 3rd or 4th couple's interview.
Seriously though, I doubt the theory would hold up to scientific scrutiny. Extra weight and lack of exercise is an equal opportunity temptation and hits all layers of the demographics, singles as well as couples.
