Would you consider your spouse getting fat a good reason for divorce?

[Maximus]

There you go, Valmy. I knew someone would eventually go there.

How shocking that a notorious numbers guy would resort to using numbers rather than cherry-picked anecdotal evidence or selective extreme statistical scrutiny.

More that a numbers guy is insisting on using a scalar as a solution to a multi-dimensional problem.

I think the relevant test is whether the spouse has let herself/himself go - it's preposterous to expect your partner to keep being interested in you if you stop trying to be attractive to him/her.

Unless you are paying them!

I had a mandatory weigh in* for my wife. 133 pounds. I gave her an acceptable grade.

*I sneaked a peek when she thought I wasn't looking. I AM A NINJA

Actually if they are truly interested in you, pretty preposterous that you'd pay them.

Stop raining on my parade.

The ones who aren't interested in you at all cost $200. 

But the ones that are really, truly interested in you cost half of all your stuff, eventually.

I have heard some pretty mean things said about women who are only somewhat, or even slightly, overweight.

Oh, I have as well.  But it's usually only been when she's full of herself & just needs to be knocked down a couple pegs.

Why does a woman who is "full of herself" need to "be taken down a couple of pegs"?

Well, obviously when she is two pegs to high.

On a long enough timeline, it's all extortion.

Well clearly it was posted in a venue where Marty might read it. 

The irony is that Martinus himself is fat.

The difference between a comedy and a tragedy is where you end the movie.

Grande faggot.

This thread: 

You support the fat acceptance movement?

I support the right of people to decide for themselves how they feel about how they look.

Well, I support the right of people to decide for themselves what they find attractive.  WHERE IS YOUR LIBERTARIAN GOD NOW?

Also, I dunno if it's harder for women to lose weight.  It's pretty hard to eat two-thirds to half your daily expenditure of calories regardless of gender, I imagine.  I know I'm pretty hungry (though actually one does get a bit used to it, it's much easier than it was a couple of weeks ago).
