I'm in my 30s, and it doesn't seem to have gone away. If anything it may be more intense than before.

I'd like to marry and have a kid or two. Of course, I look forward to the pregnancy weight gain, baby weight, and middle age spread.

I don't suppose she has to be into it. In fact, she'll probably end up gaining anyway. Though then I'll have to just get her to ignore those weight loss ads and try to convince her that I like her as she is.

Even wondering if there's anything to the theory of whether a lady who just gave birth may have an incredible ability to really gain.

I still think social pressure affects what kind of negative effects we endure. When Marilyn Monroe was popular, women didn't mind the back pain with large breasts. When Twiggy was in style, all of a sudden back pain caused by large breasts was unacceptable.
