A recent survey from Australian men has shown that men want women to care less about their body image. The survey showed that three out of five guys think their girlfriends should forget skinny lattes and green salads and tuck into a steak, fries and have a beer with them. 60% of guys are not concerned about their girlfriends size, what she eats and most confess to hating it when their partner 'diets'. However the survey did show that men are becoming increasingly self-conscious about their body image as two out of five guys are concerned about their body size.

It is hard to do, even harder when you are surrounded by others who don't share the same lifestyle goals as you.

When you fall in love with some when is it the right time to tell them those three magic words? I love you. It's hard to say when the right time is; you really can't base it on an exact science. I think the most important factor to consider when preparing to say it to a partner is whether you do in fact love them; go over this in your head and if the answer is yes then chances are you're ready to say it. Don't just say it, do it. Love is not just a feeling; it's an action. Saying it without showing it is, in a way, a lie. Express your love in action as well as in words.
