    How about I wish I could find a guy who eats? I am on my feet all day, recovering from anorexia, and am still pretty darn active, and I need to EAT, or risk f*cking my body up.

    My ex and his older brother eat like little birds. One will take a bite of a banana and be like, "I'm full." Neither works out and both are bony and gaunt, without muscle tone.
    Drinking their calories is another story entirely...
    I suspect disordered tendencies, but there is a lot of denial involved. When I started getting active a while back, the ex sniffed that he hates muscle and prefers the sickly, heroin-addicted look. Literally used those words. Which in part awakened my dormant eating disorder, which led to me losing forty pounds that I definitely didn't need to lose.
    We are still friendly - now that I'm a healthy weight I don't think he's attracted to me anymore - but I don't like hanging out with him because he doesn't eat for hours, days and will make me feel weird/ignore me if I want to eat. I don't like starving, it almost killed me once.

    Ditto. I love it when the girl loves food and is a foodie, as long as she also likes to be active and earn those calories.

    I couldn't date someone that ate less then me I think it would be weird, but that being the case I wouldn't go hungry just so someone didn't judge me.. But I also wouldn't date a guy smaller then me (build wise) so I've never really had that problem :)

    LOL this thread is hilarious! i thought this all through high school, which is why i ordered a full rack of bbq ribs and french fries whenever i went out to eat with my boyfriend. pssht, he loved it, and i had a great *kitten* to go with it!

    now i just order salads...hell, i just EAT salads except for breakfast. my man friends eat like ravenous bloodthirsty wolves so anything i like to eat is way less. if a salad is more than what the guy ordered, then I AM WITH THE WRONG GUY

    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.

    I have a near violent gut reaction to this nonsense... still. I absolutely can't stand a man who thinks it's acceptable to even hint around that I should be doing ANYTHING in a more ladylike manner... what I decide is "ladylike" and "feminine" and "acceptable"... even in regard to food, GOES.

    Men who care are nothing more than *kitten* who want to push any low self-esteem button on a woman they can find. Nothing more. I don't buy into the "ladylike" eating bull****.
    As a computer geek, coder, gamer, biker and other masculine things that I am...Amen. XD

    Yea!! Thank you! I generally out-eat my husband my quite a bit... I think sometimes I eat almost double what he does. But I'm doing intense & heavy strength training, and getting more defined every day! I think sometimes he's still shocked when I eat twice as much meat as he does... but hey, gotta fuel! :)

    I saw this topic and the only thing I could think was "Ashley Wilkes told me he likes to see a girl with a healthy appetite!" :)

    But seriously, if this question was about how a girl eats as opposed to how MUCH, I could understand a guy thinking it was a turn off because (and this goes both ways, not just a man's perception of a woman), it may indicate lifestyle compatibility issues if one person eats healthy and the other just eats donuts and pizza. But if a guy was turned off by me just in regards to volume, well I'll just be relieved that I dodged that bullet and move on. It's not my issue, and I refuse to eat like a bird just to protect some guy's apparently fragile masculinity. :)

    *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!!!

    This. Christ Almighty.. It kills me how no one is allowed to have their own opinions. Someone will always have a different opinion on how they feel about something. Why must people criticize?

    nights that I out-eat him, it's because he knows I worked my *kitten* off all day and I need to eat back my deficit. If I ate like him on a regular basis, -I- would be concerned, too!

    Unfortunately, most of the time we see people eating a lot, we associate it with being unhealthy and gaining weight. Perhaps because the obesity rates are skyrocketing? Nine times out of ten, people are not stuffing their faces to prevent a deficit because they had incredible workouts.
    i dont know how not to qoute the whole thing lol but i agree everyone is free to have an opinion and i would be concerend about myself eating more than my bf sheesh he eats like he will never see another bite

    I cook dinner for my Partner, and I have always served us up the same portions.
    And on the odd occasion that he cooks, he does the same. Just depends on how you see things, im all about equality, even when it comes to food :smile:

    This. Christ Almighty.. It kills me how no one is allowed to have their own opinions. Someone will always have a different opinion on how they feel about something. Why must people criticize?

    For me, it's not just about different 'opinions'. It's about equality of the sexes. WHY must we have to have such crazy different standards by which we judge men vs. women? Why in the world do we judge the value of a women based on how much she eats in front of a guy?

    I'm not trying to be inflammatory here... but in my opinion, judging a woman based on how much she eats is sexist. I feel annoyed at the men who do it... and I feel sorry for the women who do it.

    I really just don't understand why our society must break down something as simple as FOOD and EATING into feminine and masculine qualities. It's just sad.

    So yah... I get annoyed by 'opinions' that in anyway suggest that my actions are somehow inappropriate for my sex. That includes eating. That includes science and math.

    I mean, we're not talking favorite colors here. We're not talking a preference for cars vs. trucks, high-heels or flats, and so forth... we're not even talking big boobs. I honestly don't have a problem with men liking big boobs or red heads or blondes or whatever. That doesn't bother me. But viewing a woman negatively because she EATS more food than a man? Wow. More than an opinion to me. That's sexism.

    And that's my opinion :P
