I'll go ahead and explain why I ask so there isn't a question about my intent. I'm also not going to qualify a lot of what I say, just to move things along. I hope I don't inadvertently sound too insensitive.
I read a study -maybe that's too strong a word- I read a thing that called itself a study without my following up on it that said relationships where the woman is bigger than the man are less likely to succeed. This was a while ago, but I recently brought it up to my ex (We're friends and often talk about our missteps and do a lot of what-iffing, so it wasn't me being weird). I brought it up because the men she has dated after me were progressively larger. She's with a really nice guy now who's probably 200+ pounds (and uglier than sin). Super nice guy though. Anyhow, I mentioned the trend and asked if she was uncomfortable when she was with me because I am skinny. The way I worded it was "I was too skinny for you." She responded with "No, but I always felt too big." I explained that that made me feel like I was too skinny, to which she said "I never thought about it like that." I think it kind of opened her eyes a little in that respect. This is just one aspect of our failed relationship, of course, but it was one that we recently talked about, and now here's this thread, so I thought I'd ask.
What do you think? Is there something to this?
I doubt it, most of my loves have been tall and skinny. Not that I aim for tall and skinny but I do like tall! And I'm very attracted to andro leaning toward feminine body types, and they tend toward skinny. And this is my first serious relationship with a man (well with anyone really), so maybe it's a little different with men. I don't know... I know I'm little less worried about body image with Jo Jo. I rarely draw comparisons. And we don't talk quite the same as I would had I stayed with Jessie. But I find dating a woman is like dating your bestie, except with lots of making out. So I guess when it comes to men other than being a bit wary in the beginning, once I get comfy I usually don't worry too badly.
