Well the cats out of the bag, and we've been cought red handed!

It's looks like most men will not look at a fat woman, and since so many North Americans women are overweight, We men tend to go for the Good looking ones with very nice bodies. ^Pole not needed I could of told you that long time ago.



James Bassil, editor in chief of AskMen.com, speaks on Canada AM from CTV's studios in Montreal, Friday, July 24, 2009.

When it comes to relationships, gaining weight is risky business -- especially if you're a woman.

In a recent poll of 50,000 people by Askmen.com, 48 per cent of men said they would dump their partner if she became fat.

"We asked men whether they would consider breaking up with their girlfriend, specifically if she gained weight," James Bassil, the editor-in-chief of AskMen.com told CTV's Canada AM on Friday. "And we found that the response was pretty fairly split down the middle. A slim majority said 'no.'"

On the other hand, 70 percent of women surveyed said they would stay with their boyfriend if he became "husky."

"A lot of people would say that guys are more visual, I guess, when it comes to relationships," Bassil said, adding that male respondents said they would see their girlfriend gaining weight as a sign that she didn't care about the relationship as much anymore.

If there is a silver lining for girlfriends, it may be in the pocketbook. Eighty-five per cent of men said they believe they should pay for the majority of dates, at least until a relationship has been established.

The "Great Male Survey," which AskMen.com has been conducting annually, took in responses from the U.K., the U.S. and Australia, as well as Canada. It asked respondents about a wide range of topics, from relationship to environmental issues.

There were some interesting differences by nationality as well. American men were found to have greater moral qualms about moving in with their partner before marriage. "We see a strain of American Puritanism in a lot of the questions," Bassil said.

But men in the U.S. were also more concerned about global warming than elsewhere, including Canada.

Across the board, men were generally less concerned about global warming this year than in the 2008, which Bassil chalked up to competing concerns that have arisen in the meantime -- particularly the fear of becoming unemployed.

Women don't need a poll to know that, we deal with it every day.

Women know that already.

You don't say.
