When it comes to stripping off in front of your new partner for the first time there’s no doubt about it – we want to look good.
Perhaps you go on a low-calorie diet, put in more sessions at the gym and treat yourself to a cheeky little wax.

And, just like Joey doesn’t share food, the majority of men don’t want to either.
The survey revealed that it takes men four months of commitment before they’re happy to share any form of food with you.
“Nobody likes sharing food, so if you’re in a new relationship and think it’s totally fine to pinch a chip off your partner’s plate – it’s not,” the survey makers said.
