This study examined men's body image in the context of their romantic relationships. One hundred and four heterosexual romantic couples (N = 208 participants) completed measures assessing men's body image, perceptions of men's weight change, relationship length, and sexual intimacy. Men's height and weight were also measured. Results indicate that men were more likely to be satisfied with their bodies when they perceived their partners to be, when their partners actually were satisfied with their bodies, and when they perceived themselves to have gained relatively little weight throughout the duration of their relationships. Analyses also revealed that men expressed greater body satisfaction when there was a relatively high degree of sexual intimacy in the relationship. Findings are discussed in terms of their contributions to researchers' and practitioners' understanding of men's body satisfaction.
本研究考察了男性在恋爱关系中的身体意象。104 对异性恋伴侣（N=208 名参与者）完成了评估男性身体意象、对男性体重变化的看法、关系持续时间和性亲密程度的测量。还测量了男性的身高和体重。结果表明，当男性伴侣对自己的身体感到满意时，当男性伴侣实际上对自己的身体感到满意时，当男性伴侣认为自己在恋爱关系期间体重增加相对较少时，男性更有可能对自己的身体感到满意。分析还表明，当关系中存在相对较高程度的性亲密时，男性表达了更高的身体满意度。研究结果从研究人员和从业者对男性身体满意度的理解方面进行了讨论。
