<\/a><\/p>\nWith women, there’s a very strong desire to maintain their body shape and look very attractive to their partners.<\/p>\n
And a new study has found that women are at a higher risk of developing eating disorder because of their desire to diet and seek a slim body depending on the attractiveness of the partner.<\/p>\n
The study found that women who were evaluated as less attractive were more motivated to diet and be thin if their husbands or partners were attractive than them.<\/p>\n
However, women who were more attractive than their husbands did not have this extra motivation to diet.<\/p>\n
According to Tania Reynolds, a doctoral student at the Florida State University: “The results reveal that having a physically attractive husband may have negative consequences for wives, especially if those wives are not particularly attractive.”<\/p>\n
To arrive at this conclusion, the study examined 113 newlywed couples — married less than four months, average age late 20s, living in Dallas area — who agreed to be rated on their attractiveness.<\/p>\n
