Er, no. There's a lot more to sustaining a relationship you know. If a man just wants people who'll treat him well, he has his friends for that. A woman plays a more complex role in a man's life.

If a woman "let's herself go", loses her looks, or stops making an effort to look good, that can have a serious affect on a relationship. Some men might be happy to put up with a sexless mother-figure for a partner, but most men place a high importance on sex and sexual attraction.

There are other reasons which might seem silly to you - but for some men, the physical appearance of their woman is a direct reflection of (a) her feelings about him and (b) his ability to provide for her as a husband. Obviously women can lose their figures from childbirth and that is understandable, but if a woman just ceases making any effort to look nice for her man, that is bound to bother the man. He might feel that it basically says she doesn't care about him enough to even try to please him by making small token gestures... and he may feel that it looks to other people as if he is a bad provider. Those two issues alone are enough to leave a man feeling somewhat immasculated and it is unsurprising when he starts looking outside the relationship for new female companionship.

Not condoning behaviour on either side of the argument of course, but there's certainly more to it than you mentioned in your post.

Sure, if you love your woman you'll love her as she is, and you'll love the way she looks at 8am with messy hair and no makeup. However, if that look persists for the rest of the day or indeed for weeks or months, I'd start asking questions!

Absolutely--wife as eyecandy/armcandy, a reflection of a man and how he wants others to perceive him.

I was being ironic.

AnotherLoverToo said:

I didn't say it was right or wrong, but that's how men feel sometimes. Dismiss those feelings at your own peril

A man can be a simple creatures in some ways.
He wants to be appreciated by his woman, and wants to be a good provider.

ian said:

I'm not saying it's wrong at all, actually, nor dismissing the feelings. More men should admit to it, and women need to just deal with it. Either women should lose weight, get the surgery, or do whatever they need to do to get the men they want--or they should shut up about it.

I think it's important for both men and women to keep themselves in good health and shape for their partners. They should mainly do it for themselves of course, but it's good for a relationship if each person finds the other physically attractive as well. Because as much as people like to make excuses, physical attraction is natural and good.
