Just wondering how you'd tell your gf to lose weight.. say she puts on a few pounds.. ermm. How would you tell her if it meant a lot to you?

Not personally in this situation just something got me thinking and I dont know how Id approach it..


You would just love her the way she is.

You dont have to tell her, just do more sporting activities with her, and increase your sex sessions

not really.

If they're just letting themselves go and are becoming fatter and fatter, they're probably likely to become less attractive to some people and certainly less sexually attractive to me. I can love a person to death, but being attracted to your partner is fundamental in the relationship.


Yeah I agree if the change is extreme, but the question implied just a few pounds....

I suppose you're right in that the other way to look at it is, that you should be completely honest and truthful with them, as that's the whole point of being in a relationship, so I suppose you could just ask them if everything is ok, as you've noticed they've been eating more or not doing as much exercise or something...or you could suggest doing activities such as tennis or swimming together.

Better?:smile:

Subtlety just passes you by, doesn't it?

I think honesty is important, but so is tact. Some people can be rather sensitive about these things (I know I am). I think the best things to do would be encourage them by doing active things together, whether it's sex or swimming or just going for a walk, and cook them lovely romantic, healthy dinners once in a while. If she's putting on weight because she's comfort eating because she's upset about something (which isn't that uncommon) then telling her "you're too fat" might not be the best thing to do. But if she's putting on weight because of laziness and greed then a couple of hints would probably be good motivation to go to the gym.
dats a gud 1!! cook her dinner but secretly just spread a tiny bit of food out alot so it looks lik a plateful! or jus cook sth gross so she dun eat it!

do you get drunk a lot and come on here? or just occasionally do you get random urges to type like a fool?

Not much you can do but tell her, I'd say it in a jokey way, and see how she reacts.

just tell her straight, that its bugging you a bit the way she is letting herself go out of shape. hopefully she will respond well.

I'd say so too...but some people are very sensitive, so in that case, i'd suggest sports or other "physical" activies :biggrin: to do together
