barefoot880 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Women do you think it's a turn off for your boyfriend to eat junk food in front of you? I mean seeing as how you want your man to eat healthy and stay in shape right? I'm implementing a new policy in my next relationship that says I will not eat junk food in front of my girlfriend. I'm going to eat nothing but fruits and vegetables in front of her. When I want to indulge in junk food I'll do it in the privacy of my own home behind closed doors. I think the more I eat junk food in front of a woman she penalizes me by taking away interest level points that I could have gotten from her. I want to keep this girl's interest in the 90s. So do you think this is a good plan? Just be discreet about eating my favorite junk food.
Advocate's Devilette Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 No. what if she eats junk food? I eat dessert sometimes. This is a nonissue. You can indulge once in a while without gaining weight, it's all about moderation. Seeing a guy eat junk food occasionally would not turn me off. Only if he was sedentary and gaining weight would I possibly be turned off.
thehappycynic Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I think a better plan is to just not eat junk food instead of essentially lying to her.
Trialbyfire Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Wha? Interest points? Do they have to rack up to 100, before you score?
underpants Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I think a better plan is to just not eat junk food instead of essentially lying to her. This or pick up your next girl from McDonalds.
sweetbutcheeky Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 That makes no sense to me. Eat what you want, when you want. If you can't do that in front of her without her saying something or turning her nose down at you then she isn't the right one for you. Obviously moderation and balance is key, so eat both ways and everyone especially you are happy! If you hide eating those things to when your alone, that's doesn't really solve the problem. What happens if she stops by? Are you going to hide it? What happens if she smells chocolate on your breath? What if you move in together?
xpaperxcutx Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Eww junk food is disgusting... if you want to clog your arteries go ahead. I really don't see a need to eat behind close doors, just eat them in moderation. And don't lick your fingers in front of her. Wash your hands instead.
Storyrider Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Hiding what you eat sounds like you're asking for an eating disorder.
SeraBella Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Hiding what you eat sounds like you're asking for an eating disorder. Yep. Agreed.
justagirlforever Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Be who you are. Behaving in a certain way (whatever it's about) in front of her only to revert back to your true self, is pretence and yes essentially lying to yourself about yourself. People should like and fall in love with people for who they ARE. Not who they pretend to be!
cutegirl Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I don't care at all. I am not picky at all. If don't care if my guy eats junk food in front of me, picks his nose in front of me, farts (when I love someone I actually like smelling it), basically nothing grosses me out. I am not judgmental. I could really care less. As long as the guy is not a whoremonger. That I hate the most.
Nevermind Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 How do you eat junk food? If you basically jump in a barrel of bacon grease and lick yourself clean in front of your girlfriend, then I'd say don't do it. Other than that, if you eat junk food once in a while in acceptable manner, then go for it. Having a relaxed easy attitude towards anything, food included, is a turn-on more often than a turn off. Don't lie to her. Lies kill affection.

If a womans advice is of benefit to your eating habits then it is your choice to implement that to some degree within the relationship especially providing you're living together and make meals there will have to be 'compromise'. Outside that it's her choice to eat bird seed and garden greens if she wishes too, just like if you decide to go grab something be it a hamburger or a steak dinner because you enjoy it and actually have her see you with evidence in hand. Just offer her some of your fries, if she declines you cannot say the downfall of the relationship was due to a lack of generosity Seriously come on dude this is just control/drama on her part, you just need to cut through that BS.
Trialbyfire Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Just offer her some of your fries, if she declines you cannot say the downfall of the relationship was due to a lack of generosity More likely, he forgot the gravy... Seriously, eat what you want but junk food in large quantities isn't healthy for you. Moderation is key.
Lizzie60 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 this is too funny.. a closet boulimic.. What if you constantly gain weight.. and all she sees is you eating veggies and fruits... do you think she's stupid or what? Be yourself.. fat but honest.. instead of a fat liar..
carhill Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 This made me giggle. I can't say I've ever loved someone enough to like smelling that. Good for you. Yes, it's an interesting phenomena, and I've experienced this also. When one is spiritually intimate, all aspects of the person become part of you. It's only happened to me once in a half-century, so I assume is somewhat unique. Just so you know it doesn't only happen to women OP, if things get to the point where you're typing food, I warn you: do not get married. You most certainly will die
Replicant Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 More likely, he forgot the gravy... ^^^ OP words of wisdom right here. Gravy (or lack there of in this posters case) was the ultimate dealbreaker in her relationship as you can see. Do you really want to be known as THAT guy who forgot to deliver. I think not I agree, it's all about moderation. When it comes to compromising meals and you want a to BBQ nice steak you throw on a tiny piece of chicken for her...just big enough not to fall through the grill, and not too close that she's complaining about cross contamination Let her make one of her artistic salads and hey everyone wins here. Compromise brother, compromise!
konfuzd Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I am generally a very healthy eater, as is my bf who is a semi-pro athlete. When we're together is usually the only time we eat junk food. We're typically so busy doing other things, going for hikes, doing sports, going on road trips etc. that often food is kind of an afterthought, and we end up just going through a drive thru somewhere. Besides, when you're dating, you tend to go to movies - grab some popcorn, or go for ice cream and things of that nature that are just part of the date. I don't really see a girl being turned off unless it's all you eat, and it goes the same for fruits and veggies. If that's all you eat, you may come off as boring or too obsessed with body image.

Just be discreet about eating my favorite junk food. no, you shouldn't do that to yourself if you end up in a long term relationship, it would be harder and harder to hide since you would spend a lot more time with her. To be honest, the only time a girl would ever get disgusted by a man eating junk food is when he is eating it ravenously and having grease drip down his chin while talking to her with a mouth open so it's more of how junk food is consumed, not what is consumed. I never met a guy who didn't like junk food, so i tend to not fuss about it
Author barefoot880 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 Even in a long term relationship I could hide junk food. I have a vending machine in my workplace to get whatever junk food my heart desires. As far as her stopping by my place unannounced? I have only 2 rules in my house: 1. call before you pay me a visit. 2. wash your own dishes. So I would consider it rude for her or anyone else for that matter to pay me a visit without calling unless it's the police department doing an investigation.
dreamergrl Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Trying to have a healthy life style is all good - but what's wrong with a lil junk food now and then? Personally, I'm turned off by health nuts. I don't personally find anything wrong with that type of life style (eating healthy 100% of the time and such), but I wouldn't be able to never have Rocky Road Icecream again, or no more Snickers Icecream bars ever again... I need to be able to have sweets here and there
Trialbyfire Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 barefoot, your two different threads confuse me. This one talks about hiding junk food in a relationship and your other thread talks about enjoying being single and never wanting marriage or LTRs. Are you a tad confused too?

I never said that I expected a girl to conform to my eating habits.

I never said that I expected a girl to conform to my eating habits. It's a personal turn off for me because it's not a life style I like. It makes me feel uncomfortable with my chosen life style. I wouldn't want to feel as though I had to hide any aspect of my life style - as you are questioning if you should hide eating junk food. I also never implied that you expecteda girl to conform to your eating habbits either.
