CeMar, This is true, but it aint a surefire fix, take it from me. I am a tall and slim woman, who is quite pretty. Until recently my H steadfastly refused to admit that my shape had any effect on him whatsoever.
It was devastating to me. I had a baby and instantly took off all the weight and never got so much as a compliment from him!
So, the women out there should get fit for themselves and if it has the fringe benefit of turning their husbands on, great. But I wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket.
My spouse is very complimentary of my body now, once he got past his hangups, but now I am struggling with worry about gaining weight! Ahhhhhhh, it never ends! I am a size 6 who is inching towards an 8 (damn holidays) but I will take care of it before I get there.
So being attractive is NOT necessarily a recipe for instant success in turning around an LD man. Although I can see how it would definitely improve things in an LD woman's situation--improve her body image and she will be more comfortable in sexual situations.
