The Dangers of Having an Astute Husband

Women who have partners who are attractive have low self - confidence and may suffer from eating disorders, says a new study.

Research by Florida State University shows that women who want to lose weight often push to do so when they think their husband is better than they are.

According to the study, not the same thing happens to males if their wife is more attractive than they are.

If we understand how women's relationships affect their dietary decision, then we will be better able to help”, said the lead author of this study, Tania Reynolds.

The results show that having a mate who is physically attractive can have negative consequences for women, especially if these wives are not attractive”, it says, among other things.
