James Marsden Talks About Women, Love, And Marriage To Women's Health Magazine

I love getting insight into the male mind! 'The Box' star James Marsden didn't hold back, either, when he sat down with Women's Health Magazine.
What do men find sexy that would surprise most women?
"Two things. First are body parts women are usually not happy with, such as a soft waistline and hips. I like both very much. Women hate when guys touch and pinch them there, but men don’t have curves and the more women embrace them, the sexier it is!
Second: when a sweaty woman is leaving the gym, because it’s similar to the way she might look right after sex. Anything that suggests you in that act [is hot]."
How a woman looks as she leaves the gym is sexy. Yes, this confirms it: men really do have sex on the brain all the time :)
What was James' biggest misconception about marriage?
"That nothing would change. I was with my wife for five years before we got married. At some point, she was ready to take the next step, and I would say, 'I'm committed to you now; nothing's going to change.' But [once you marry] there is a huge difference. It's a different mindset. If you already have a great relationship, it'll only sweeten the deal."

James shared the one secret power he wishes he possessed.
"It would be cool to be invisible, but I'm afraid of what people would say about me if they didn't know I was there. Some things are better left unknown."
Good point! He sounds like a sweet and thoughtful guy :)

I find his comment about marriage a bit confusing and contradictory. It is probably just an awkwardly worded quote.
In my personal experience marriage doesn't really change anything. I don't think it is a different mindset at all really. It has just been consistantly wonderful on both sides of marriage for me and I am grateful that nothing did change in that respect. I am sure children will change things for us but marriage certainly did not.

Well, his wife was pregnant when they got hitched, so maybe that's why it changed for him. I'm thinking he must be a major commitment-phobe to date her for 5 years before pulling the trigger on marriage. I wouldn't have had the patience to put up with that!
Oh, okayyyy... yeah, for him, I probably would've, but only if he's hung like a horse.

Sounds like a good man. Not everyone wants a size 0 woman. My husband also prefers a few curves.
