New Again Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I'm slender, and every time a man tells me I need to eat more I want to punch him in the face. Leave me the hell alone, I don't comment on your disgusting habit of overeating, do I?
cognac Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I personally do not see the virtue in having a "large appetite". People I know who proudly state they have large appetites are generally just the standard stock of American glutton. I like a woman who eats until she is full, and do not see anything noble, sexy, or cool about devouring a large pizza by yourself.
Ariadne Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I had 3 pieces asked me if I wanted the last piece Sure, why not? Good. I like girls who aren't afraid to eat. Girls who only have, like, one slice of pizza piss me off." I think he meant, girls that have like, one slice of pizza are my kind of girls and you are pissing me off. My take.
Ariadne Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 (Btw, pizzas have 8 slices, that means you split the pizza in half with the guy).
threebyfate Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 IME, men do like women who can chow down on a reasonable amount of food. Enjoy your 20-something metabollic rate, Tigress. Not everyone but most peoples' (note the lack of gender reference?) metabollic rate will slow down as they get older. It's a fact of life.
Ariadne Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 IME, men do like women who can chow down on a reasonable amount of food. Yes, but delicately so. (You have to be careful not to eat like a beast or like you are actually hungry).
Johnny M Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 So guys of LS, how important is a girl's appetite to you? Do you get turned off if she orders only a salad at dinner, or do you find it gross if she could put down a big T-bone with a side of mashed potatoes without blinking an eye? What about those girls who order something really fattening and pair it with a diet soda? Yes, appetite is very important. A woman who eats a lot is simply not marriage material, no matter how good her metabolism is. As you get older, your metabolism slows down, while your appetite does not, so you become fat. Italian women are a prime example of this phenomenon. Many of them are quite beautiful when they are young yet turn not fat cows as they get older. And if you look at the kind of unhealthy crap Italians eat, it shouldn't come as a surprise.
Johnny M Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I used to assume that if a girl is only eating a salad, or not eating at all, that she is too depressed to eat and I shouldnt be dating her. No offense, but that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
threebyfate Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Yes, but delicately so. (You have to be careful not to eat like a beast or like you are actually hungry).I'm a table manners nazi, where I personally can't stand slovenly or noisy eating, so I can relate...
northstar1 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I'm a table manners nazi, where I personally can't stand slovenly or noisy eating, so I can relate... Same here. It's a pet peeve of mine of people who eat like dogs

northstar1 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Trench warfare is so not attractive. Unless the person was raised by wolves or monkeys, they should have some clue on table ettiquette My biggest one is when I cook dinner or am with someone, and they start eating w/o waiting for me to even sit down. Ugh.

Ugh. No kidding...especially when said person has a portion 4 times as large as yours and it's half gone by the time you sit down, and completely gone before you've taken 4 bites of your own normal, healthy-sized portion.
Ariadne Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I'm a table manners nazi, where I personally can't stand slovenly or noisy eating, so I can relate... Yes, that is out of the question. But women blessed with voracious appetites, have to keep that in check and eat as if the are slightly hungry. You know, eat one small bite and look around, chew slowly, chat a little, pause, take another small bite, etc. (In my case, since I'm the kind of person that when I'm eating I'm 100% there, don't bother me, I'm eating. I have to make an effort at that).
donnamaybe Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 You know, eat one small bite and look around, chew slowly, chat a little, pause, take another small bite, etc. It's possible to have a meal and not look like a slob without analyzing and measuring every move you make. That would be mentally exhausting!
