Maybe it’s the weight gain, the infamous “Quarantine 15.” Maybe it’s the stress of the pandemic accelerating aging. Or maybe it’s just from the result of being cooped up at home with each other all the time.
Whatever the reason, the data is in, and 89% of Americans say their partner’s appearance has changed since the start of the pandemic, and the majority say it’s not for the better. At least 63% say their partner looks worse than they did before the pandemic started.
How have couples changed since the pandemic?
Partners are noticing fatter faces, rounder bellies, sagging skin and more hair (in all the wrong places). Forty-six percent of those surveyed say their partner is spending less time on hygiene and 45 percent say their partner is spending less time on grooming. Couples have relaxed their wardrobes too since lockdown, with 52% reporting their partner is dressing more casually.

Unsurprisingly, 57 percent of people we surveyed say they’re less attracted to their partners than before the pandemic and 56 percent say they’re having less sex. Additionally, 55 percent say they have felt embarrassed in social situations about how their partner looks! Sounds like it’s time for a makeover!
Beyond just weight gain or aging, Americans are noticing their partners are slacking. Half of people notice their significant other is still dressing more casually and 46% say their partner spends less time on hygiene (which may be impacting sex lives - 56% say they’re having less sex).
