More than 1 in 3 men (34.1%) and more than 1 in 4 women (27.5%) are overweight. More than 2 in 5 adults (42.4%) have obesity (including severe obesity). About 1 in 11 adults (9.2%) have severe obesity. The percentage of men who are overweight (34.1%) is higher than the percentage of women who are overweight (27.5%).

That’s all people. It may also hold for married couples, but may not.

You are speaking truth.

People that worry about others have issues they cannot control.

Worry about keeping your own yard clean and dont about anyone elses. Who gives a frick what anyone else does or who "lets themself go".

It's the one that is not cheating that lets themselves go.

The entire point of this board is to observe and discuss social happenings, trends and phenomena in the world.

Perhaps you are in the wrong place.

In my anecdotal experience. It seems like I see more obese men than obese women, overall. Even in the gym, it always seems like I see more women than men there, working out.
I think in general women face alot more societal pressure regarding their looks, so they will be a bit less likely to let themselves go, as opposed to men.

I don't have any stats to back that up also, so I'm welcome to being wrong.

Women let themselves go physically.
Men let themselves go emotionally (they stop connecting with their wife)

Hard to tell, because oddly enough men typically age better looks wise. Plus if both husband and wife get fat and one of them starts losing weight a divorce is imminent

Intelligence plays the biggest factor. Usually smart people know the importance of health and aren’t slobs

That's true but you can use that to your advantage. Nothing will get your wife interested in losing weight and looking good faster than getting fit yourself and other women noticing.

Ozempic may be the best thing ever created. Now women can stay thin without having to actually do anything
