Hmmmm... not in my case. My ex-wife, looking back was, to put it simply - ugly. I mean, heavy and ugly -- and just really had no positive attributes. Why I got married to her had more to do with me and nothing to do with her.

Since then I've dated across the board. I've dated girls that were easily tens... and a few 6-7 (my limit now.)...

I've found that there is no correlation between fat and ugly and hot when it comes to gold-digging and self-esteem.
