The Study

In August 2021, the study surveyed 1,463 Americans who had been in a committed relationship for at least a year about changes in their partners’ appearance during the pandemic.

51% of them were male and 49% were female. The ages of those surveyed ranged from 18 to 68 with an average age of 38.

The results are almost shocking. The pandemic seems to have had a really huge negative impact on the appearance of many people. At least that’s how their partners feel.

The Pandemic Took Its Toll

A whopping 57% of respondents said they were less attractive to their partners than before the pandemic. 55% even said they felt embarrassed in social situations because of their partner’s appearance.

79% Of People Are Too Fat According To Their Partners

The feature that most people would change about their partner is their weight. On average, respondents put the weight they think their partners should lose at 22 pounds.

That’s quite a bit.
