Divorced men and women considering remarriage cited 'wrinkles' and 'obesity' respectively as the most concerning aspects of their partner's appearance.

On the 24th, marriage information companies OnlyU and Bienarae announced the results of a survey conducted from the 16th to the 21st among 516 divorced individuals (258 men and 258 women).

Women answered ▲obesity (33.3%) ▲hair loss or gray hair (25.2%) ▲short stature (21.7%) ▲wrinkles (16.7%).

In response, Son Dong-gyu, CEO of OnlyU, advised, "When choosing a remarriage partner, one should focus on the inner qualities," but added, "Appearance, which influences first impressions, cannot be ignored. Given the current trend of valuing visual factors, each person should pay attention to managing their appearance."

Meanwhile, when asked, "If your remarriage partner has an outstanding appearance, how do you think it will affect your married life?" both men and women most frequently chose "frequent couple outings" (men 32.6%, women 31.4%). Men answered in order: ▲increased self-esteem (26.7%) ▲long-lasting affection (22.5%). Women answered: ▲long-lasting affection (27.1%) ▲increased self-esteem (24.8%). The fourth most common answer for both men and women was "overlooking minor issues" (men 18.2%, women 16.7%).

Additionally, when asked, "If you married because you were attracted to your remarriage partner's appearance but later became disappointed with their personality or other traits, what would you think?" 29.5% of men responded that they would think "it's their own fault." Among women, 31.4% said they would feel "self-disgust at their own foolishness," representing the highest proportions. Following that, men answered ▲they would blame themselves thinking "what they feared actually happened" (26.7%) ▲feel self-disgust at their own foolishness (23.6%).
