Study says women with attractive partners feel more pressured to dieting
Love often fills our lives with joys, emotions and delicious little chills in the belly. When we find someone capable of provoking these incredible sensations in us, everything seems to come into harmony and we believe we can finally relax and have the self-esteem up there.
A study in the University of Florida, in the United States, testified that not everything is perfect when it comes to self-esteem of women who are in a relationship serious and lasting.
The research, recently published by Body Image magazine, aimed to see to what extent a loving relationship can help women develop eating disorders and create a fixation out of the ordinary with the achievement of the perfect body.
Researchers found that women who were in a more attractive partner relationship naturally felt insecure and under pressure to stay in shape and, therefore, constantly resort to diets and gyms.
Conversely, the reverse did not happen as often, scientists said. That is, when the woman was the most attractive part of the relationship, the men did not show any discomfort or felt pressured to look more handsome or fit.
More than 100 couples participated in the study, going through a battery of questionnaires to carry out the research.
The questions were based on the satisfaction of men and women in questions such as body image, physical shape and weight.
The participants were also evaluated by other groups that classified the level of attractiveness of the couples, choosing the ones that considered the most attractive in each relationship.
From the poll result, it was diagnosed that women considered less attractive than their partners were also those who responded were more insecure and less confident with their bodies, which motivated them to make more and more diets.
With the study in hand, doctors will now be able to develop medical and psychological care programs for women who develop eating disorders because they feel pressured by their partners who find them more attractive.
From the result, researchers at the University of Florida began counseling the participants and their husbands.
For scientists, it is critical that men point out that their wives and girlfriends are beautiful and that their love for them does not depend on their weight or physical form.
Similarly, women, according to doctors, need to keep their feet on the ground and understand that their self-esteem should not come from their husband or boyfriend.
So, according to the researchers, it is easier to get around these types of eating disorders and maintain the relationship in a healthier way.
