Being slim seems to make a woman happier than any man could, for a new study has found that a female’s weight has a greater effect on her spirits than her love life does.
And, according to researchers, being obese leads to more misery and suffering than being single — while being thin provides more satisfaction than a relationship.
The 24-year study of the ups and downs of the lives of thousands of Germans between 1984 and 2008 found that a good home life is more important than a glittering career, the ‘Daily Mail’ reported.
Being sociable and exercising also boosts life satisfaction, says the study. But perhaps more surprisingly, not having enough work makes us all more miserable than being overworked.
The researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, said: “For both men and women, being underworked is much worse than being overworked, presumably because lost consumption rankles worse than lost leisure.”
