The Real Reason Why Some Women “Let Themselves Go” Once They’re In A Relationship

Years ago I lived with a roommate. Before we would head out to go bar hopping in celebration of making it through a difficult work week, she always insisted that we head to the gym.

I never declined her requests. After all, I love to exercise. But it seemed strange that she was fixated on burning calories right before we got ready to drink the night away. One evening during a jog on the treadmill I asked her the reasoning behind this ritual.

“My stomach is flabby. And I don’t want men to notice it,” she remarked in a panted breath as she increased the speed of her machine.

It isn’t my place to suggest that other women see themselves the way I see them. But I couldn’t help but stare at her tall, modelesque size 2 figure and wonder what stomach men would be staring at.

There was another time when we were chatting in the living room one slow Sunday afternoon. She proceeded to stand up and show me how to do facial exercises to reduce wrinkles. According to her, men don’t like them.
