Seduced the father of the guy who called her fat/@milareallysings
According to a new study published in the journal Economics & Human Biology, marriage has a significant effect on body mass index (BMI) among men, especially in the first five years of marriage.
Meanwhile, no clear correlation was found for women in the same situation.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences analyzed data from ten rounds of China's Health and Nutrition Survey that ran from 1989 to 2015, and found that 5.2% of the married men surveyed would gain about 2.5% weight.
The experts noted that the increase in BMI came about because men tended to eat more and exercise less as their marriages lasted, and were more successful: "Men face a significant risk of obesity as they age, so after marriage, it is important that they do not let themselves be neglected and adhere to healthy eating habits and activity exercise regularly," Shiwen Quan, from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Daily Mail.

Previous studies have found that married people tend to have a significantly higher BMI than singles, and in particular found That the more satisfied someone is in their intimate relationships, the more likely they are to gain weight - a phenomenon known as "happy fat".

However, these results may vary for Western couples: "The standards for choosing a partner, the goals of marriage, the customs of marriage ceremonies, and the allocation of household duties after marriage differ considerably from those accepted in Western societies. Therefore, the effect of marriage on BMI may vary among Chinese populations and Westernization," the study noted.
Romantic relationships not only affect your physical health, but can also rewire the brain.
According to another study published in the journal Behavioral Sciences, the researchers succeeded in understanding the connection between the behavioral operating system of the mind and feelings of romantic love.
Although it has long been understood that romantic love spurs the release of the so-called "love hormone" responsible for the euphoria felt when falling in love, and it has been found that a person in love can make a part of the brain go wild so that the partner becomes the center of his world.
However, experts still have much more to learn about love's far-reaching effects — "we actually know very little about the development of romantic love," admitted lead researcher Adam Bode.
