JENNIE! it's THIGH GAP! hahahah :laugh:
and any man come between me and my grub, may have to pull back a bloody nub! :drinker:
Thigh gap, crotch gap... eh, it's all the same bull****. :P0 -
Whenever I'm out with guys and get a salad I get harassed and they're always like "COME on, I know girls can eat way more that that." So I usually just get something normal and eat it all to avoid the comments.0

^^^^^^love it"She used to be super hot, until her caloric intake exceeded mine."
^^Said no sensible man EVER!0 -
I hate it when I girl out eats me! But hey in the end who cares! haha
This actually.
It's even worse when she's skinny and doesn't work out.
Wtf mate....0 -
*reads through thread as men get bashed for giving their own personal opinion that they were asked for in the fist place*
Guys!! IT'S A TRAP!!!
I'm not a guy, and I was kind of thinking the same thing. If you are going to ask for an opinion, you have to be willing to take the answer.
In response, there are days I eat as much as my husband, but I'm way more active than him and I burn most of what I eat!
Completely agree, it's definitely a trap! And when it comes to dessert I will ALWAYS eat more than my boyfriend.0 -
LOL LOL I'm pretty sure every girl has a crotch gap :PJENNIE! it's THIGH GAP! hahahah :laugh:

It even looks funnier if she on the heavy side and she does that. You're just looking at her like, "yeah, that's how you eat, eh?"
I don't mean that in a mean way. But, seriously? It's so funny. i see it all the time. Women at work, very overweight, and they'll cut a donut in half. Yeah, if they were at home, they'd eat 4 of them, or more. I don't know, but I don't know why they put on that front.0 -
Do you prefer a girl to have an appetite like yours or would you rather her eat less than you? Or do you even care? I know that I hate when I'm out with a guy and he eats less than me (yes it happens lol). So I was wondering if guys feel the same way with girls.. or maybe I'm just a little overly cautious about it?
Women should always eat less than men. We should also get paid less for doing the same job. And we shouldn't speak unless spoken to.
Are you available? I think I love you.0 -

Now, there's *that* gap :P0 -
In the last several weeks of training for my half-marathon, I routinely ate my boyfriend under the table. He thought it was hilarious (and impressive), probably because he knew I actually needed that amount of food. Point being: if a guy really likes you, he isn't going to care. And if he doesn't, well...NEXT!0

Unless a woman is an athlete and in training it would be a major turnoff. I am competitive but not at the dinner table!!!
Sounds like you are competitive at the dinner table.0 -

Maybe they're just starting on their weight loss journey. Maybe they just need a guy to give them a little support instead of judging.0 -

im not "very" overweight and i would totally take down at least two donuts in public, same as if i were alone... but half a donut?! i mean, honestly, whats the point, you might as well just walk over and smell them! and i know im not a dude but when my hubby aint that hungry and eats less then me (happens VERY rarely) i cant help but feel like i might be eating too much for a split second... but its not my fault that once in a blue moon he decides to eat like a bird... so i just continue to eat without remorse... and thankfully we both eat like we just got outta prison so neither of us holds back on shoveling food in, we are that comfortable with one another

^^ This! My husband may eat a double quarter pounder and large fries, while I have small burger and fruit, but I'll eat a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's while he'll just a couple of spoons full.
At least I never have to worry about what he thinks about the way I'm eating. I know he doesn't notice it and wouldn't care if he did.0 -
ffs, can we please NOT be trying to tune ourselves to all the messed-up expectations of men. no, it is actually not their RIGHT to expect these things of us, so, no, we do not need to be asking them these questions.
yes, men who have called it a turn-off, i am calling you messed-up. it's your problem if you find it a turn off, so you have to deal with it within yourself.
For clarification - EVERYONE is different, therefore you can't tune yourself to what men want - that's like saying you are only going to wear whatever perfume all men in the world determine to be the nicest.
So it isn't something that we have to deal with within ourselves. It is just a preference that is part of the bigger picture of whether we like the person or not.
You say messed up like you're perfect. Guess what, we are all messed up in some way. Just because this isn't one of yours doesn't give yo the right to take the moral high ground. You want to talk messed up? I grew up skinny with a small appetite. Typically, this is a feminine trait - men eat lots, women not so much. I now have a large appetite and yes, it is messed up to think like this, but that is judged amongst men as he who can eat the most is the manliest, so if I'm out with a girl and she's keeping up, then that is diminishing my masculinity. Hence it is a turn off.
Now off your high horse please....
^^^^^^This^^^^^^
It's definitely a question of femininity vs. masculinity. Most men prefer women with feminine qualities. I learned from a man that I dated and became close friends with after the break up that there are many little things that we women don't even think about when it comes to femininity that men notice. Eating equivalent amounts (especially if you're constantly trying to lose weight) is one of them. BTW...I also found out it's not very feminine to take your gum out of your mouth and throw it out of a moving car...lol. Now I know
I highly reccommend that we take what the men are saying on this thread as a learning experience. Whether you agree or not, I think it's beneficial for one sex to realize what the other sex thinks and feels about many different things. 0 -
haha oh my.
back in the day, i could plow back anything and i'd call my male friends/significant others every de-masculating name in the book!
obviously it caught up to me..but now that i lost a significant amount of weight, i definitely can't keep up with my boyfriend (who's 6'2", 160lbs)!0 -
My gut reaction is that personally I don't really care how much ANYONE (male or female) eats. But when i was still dating, I think I was always a little suspicious if a girl didn't eat anything when we went out to dinner. I'd rather have her feel comfortable enough that she could just be herself and eat what she wanted. And I didn't want to feel like she was nibbling crackers while with me and then going home afterward to eat a turkey and a half...0

My husband thinks it's hilarious that can out eat him any day of the week. He calls me a hobbit, because it's a never ending stream of food.
I've never been shy to eat infront of a man and that most of the men I dated and was friends with would prefer a woman show a normal appetite on a date (share an app, have some drinks, eat some of their entree remembering that a side salad isn't an entree, share a dessert, have more drinks), however a glutenous appetite on the other hand isn't necessarily appealing. They don't want to lick barbeque sauce off your chin in the restaurant, but they wouldn't mind licking it off your tummy in the bedroom.0 -

This was more along the lines of what my experience was when dating... men let me know it was "ok" to eat. Lol. I"m from the south, and southern girls are taught to be "lady-like"... well, my mommy didn't teach me that :P She was a different sort of mommy, apparently.
But... I can't fathom some of the men who actually care about this. If I even remotely suspected they cared... I"d make a point to eat like a f******* pig just to gross them out.0 -
Most guys like a girl with an appetite like theirs BUT not one who doesn't stop eating to talk a little.
I'm not a big eater in front of anyone I don't really know which means dates so it turned a lot of guys I dated in the past off. Some also get turned off if you leave food on the plate but I grew up that way so eh well...0 -
On our first date me and my husband went out to eat with another couple, and later he commented that he liked I wasn't afraid to eat in front of him like the other girl. I guess to each their own.
Actually, it annoys my hubs when I don't eat as much bc I am trying to be healthy. He can eat a whole box of whole wheat pasta and red sauce alone and have room for more. I can't say I can out do him in terms of food, but I can def. keep up better than some....although, that's not really great when trying to cut back.0 -
I hope he doesn't mind if I have an appetite, because I
food! My husband 9 times out of 10 out eats me though. Especially at buffets, he has no self control there. I have been catching up recently because I have entered the "I am starving all of the time" pregnancy phase. 0 -
I can't even believe there are men who have an opinion on it too. Why would you even care, if you're already attracted to her in the first place?
When I first became single, I read a bunch of "how to be single again" books and a common theme in all of them (among other, more important things) was that men liked to *say* they liked women with a healthy appetite, but in reality are turned off by a women who eats like they do.
If I'm not hungry, I won't eat, but there's no way I could pretend like those books suggested. One thing I like to do is eat good food. And, the thought of wasting money spent on good food just to show I’m "worthy" just doesn’t sit well with my frugal nature.0 -

Wow. I know I already commented, but I really can't believe how many men and women associate food consumption with masculinity/femininity. It's crazy! And sad. And sexist. And old fashioned... and... grrr.
I feel sorry for the women who think they have to eat like birds to be attractive.
Just eat. If it's more than a man... so what? if it's less... so what? Are you healthy? Are you eating the calories you need to eat to meet your goals, whether it's weight loss, weight gain, or maintenance? If the answer is yes, who cares about the rest?
And I'm amazed that there are guys and gals who don't understand why some of us react so strongly to the op's question and to the responses. Women have had to fight for equality... and yet we still face blatant sexism on a regular basis. Of course it's upsetting to have someone suggest that we have to fit a stereotyped roll to be attractive and desirable.0 -

Yup, I did!!
Once guy and I were talking about food. I told him what I usually eat (pretty routine and healthy). He said he was impressed that I cared about myself and that he ate more like a "guy" and I'd probably not want him to cook for me as anything goes for him.
I then said "well don't get me wrong.. I love me a huge greasy cheeseburger and a big *kitten* beer too".
He said I got extra points and that it was a huge turn on that I'd eat that. Ha!0 -

Absolutely 100% positively do not care as long as they are fit0
