Explanation / Answer

1. At one time, being overweight was thought to be a sign of emotional disturbance. The evidence for the same came from self-reports and from flawed studies that lacked control groups or objective measures of how much people were actually eating. When researchers did controlled experiments, they learned that fat people, on average, are no more and no less emotionally disturbed than average weight people.

2. Males and females have different psychology when it comes to getting maried. The way they have been raised plays a crucial role in this. Women need a more economically stable relationship while men are attracted towards a romantic one.
