Today, as I was running errands I was listening to WGN <\/a>on the radio. From 9:00 to noon it’s presided over by two zany women, who tend to talk about really trivial things. Today, Judy was talking about a questionnaire in “Elle” Magazine about bodies.
\nThe question posed was: If you were in a long-term relationship and you could arrange for one of you to have a GREAT body…..which of you would have the great body? They took six callers and 5 out of the 6 said they wanted the great body. The callers were both men and women. One man said he wanted his partner to have the great body.
\nThe article said that 9 out of 10 women said THEY wanted the great body. Fewer men said they wanted the great body, about 6 out of 10.
\nSince women tend to be less secure about their bodies their results didn’t surprise me. The physical aspects of making love have to be easier when you aren’t concerned about a few extra pounds, or when you know that your lover admires how you look.
\nThere’s vanity involved in men wanting their partner to be beautiful. Think of how many men divorce in middle age and then marry a trophy wife. I wonder if that really raises a man’s social standing among his peers? I was a little surprised that as many as six out of 10 men wanted the great body for themselves. Does that mean that male values concerning appearance are changing?
\nHow would YOU vote?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
