Riginslinger - I think that is entirely dependent on how secure your man is with his own image and his relationship with his friends. I know plenty of men who are considered 'hotties' who are perfectly happy being seen in public with women who don't quite meet the modern criteria for 'beautiful', because they've taken the time to get to know the person and love them for who they are, not what they look like.

Of course, we can condense all this into an old Biker joke.

Why is a fat woman like a moped? It's fun to ride but you wouldn't want your mates to find out.
