Lesbians more likely to be overweight as experts find sexuality is linked to health
Lesbian and bisexual women are more likely to be overweight than heterosexual women, research has shown for the first time, as experts said sexual identity should now be viewed as a health risk factor. Researchers at the University of East Anglia studied 12 British national health surveys involving more than 93,000 people which recorded body mass index (BMI) and sexuality and found a striking link between weight and sexual orientation. For women, being gay increased the odds of them being overweight by 41 per cent, an increased overall risk of 14 per cent. It means that you would expect an extra eight gay women of an unhealthy size in every 100 compared to heterosexual women (65% compared with 57%). Bisexual women were 24 per cent more likely to be overweight or obese, however for men the opposite was the case, with gay men at three times the risk of being underweight. “This is worrying because being overweight and obese are known risk factors for a number of conditions including coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer and early death,” said lead researcher Dr Joanna Semlyen, from the University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School. “Conversely, gay and bisexual men are more likely than heterosexual men to be underweight, and there is growing evidence that being underweight is linked to a range of health problems too, including excess deaths. “We also found that gay men are significantly less likely than straight men to be overweight or obese. “This study demonstrates that there is a relationship between sexual identity and BMI and that this link appears to be different for men and women.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/...linked-health/ |

Maybe they think men wont be interested as much if they are really fat as it is deemed unattractive by some, so maybe they gravitate to each other because of that, but it's a strange one.

Lesbians do not feel the need to conform to 'conventional' beauty standards quite as much possibly...straight women feel they have to be thin to attract men. So are more likely to diet or watch their weight..thinking of the huge amount of women who go on crash diets when they get dumped in order to 'find a new guy'...never for themselves. Same as how a lot of women feel like they have to wear heels and such as men prefer them more. Yeah some wear them as they make them feel better about themselves (arguably though, a lot of this is conditioned by media also) but its generally for the male gaze tbh. If media and that started saying that men prefer women with no makeup, in trainers and sweats..then suddenly when going out, this would be rampant.
All I can think of really.

I'd say it's more likely to be the other way round (if this is even the reason); perhaps heterosexual women feel more pressure to stay in shape because of the widely-spread idea that men won't be interested in someone who is overweight. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 21-02-2019 at 12:13 PM. |

They're split down the middle - the left half is flabby, the right half is thin.
