Jersey Shortie Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 So, I do like me some good chocolate. But I am curious why women are prone more to chocolate then men. At least prone to be noted more for liking chocolate then men. Is it just a stereotype? Is it a tastebud thing? Do men not enjoy chocolate like women do? Guys, do your ladies like chocolate more then you? Will you be buying her chocolate for V-Day? Ladies, do you think your guys likes chocolate just as much as you? Or no? It sort of intrigues me that women are known for the chocolate loving ways. I know men have a sweet tooth too. If you had a choice between chocolate or steak, what would you pick? I'd pick chocolate. Anyone else have any ideas on this whole women and chocolate thing?

Anyone else have any ideas on this whole women and chocolate thing? I'm a dude who likes chocolate. Reason being is that it contains theobromine; a caffeine derivative that has similar effects on the mode - and I like my coffee. Go figure. Given a choice between steak and chocolate... I'd chose steak first...then chocolate for dessert
bayouboi Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Give me steak any day of the week. I think women prefer chocolates because they're fatties. They use the excuse of being female & therefore "just naturally have a higher % body fat due to lack of testosterone" while they stuff their faces with candies, but then turn right back around and say "we want equal voting rights and positions of leadership and be allowed to wear shoes in the kitchen". See, they wanna have their cake...and eat it too...literally. :lmao::lmao:joke post before you have a chocolate cow!
SOLACEMENT Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I have no answer for your first question...but I prefer steak...yum But I love me some dark semi-sweet chocolate..with some nice wine..yumo
xpaperxcutx Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Doesn't chocolate release serotonin? A piece of chocolate always makes me happy, so I'm not complaining.

sumdude Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I'll take the steak, but i do enjoy some dark chocolate. Studies have shown that chocolate, particularly dark chocolate can release neurotransmitters that somewhat mimic the feeling of being in love. So that may explain it perhaps?

There are no proven studies as of yet, but some people believe chocolate can act as an aphrodisiac
Stung Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Yes, chocolate supposedly mimics the brain chemistry of love. IDK, personally I like chocolate well enough but I only ever get a craving for it, or anything else dessert-like, when I'm PMSing. Asked to choose between chocolate and steak, I'd take...cheese.

It's for those crazy little human lives they are meant to carry in their bodies and keep warm that women destory their bodies for so you can carry on your genes.

You don't need to get all huffed and puffed about it. For me, chocolate doesn't appeal so much. But it's probably because I've only known the sugary Hershey stuff that has a relatively low amount of cocoa. I do like the dark chocolate and the reduced sugar stuff. Between steak and chocolate, I think I'll take steak, but then again you can't eat too much of either, chocolate with its sugar and steak with its saturated fats.

Anyone else have any ideas on this whole women and chocolate thing? I would pick steak..dipped in chocolate. lol. jk. I would definetley choose the steak though. I love chocolate but I do like it more at certain times of the month . I think it is a comfort, and it does release certain chemical endorphins in the brain.
paddington bear Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I have the answer. Chocolate releases the feel-good chemical serotonin. Many women when asked would they prefer chocolate or sex, choose chocolate. "A study reported by the indicated that melting chocolate in one's mouth produced an increase in brain activity and heart rate that was more intense than that associated with passionate kissing, and also lasted four times as long after the activity had ended." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate god....I'd love some chocolate now...

Studies have shown that chocolate, particularly dark chocolate can release neurotransmitters that somewhat mimic the feeling of being in love. So that may explain it perhaps? Yup, I heard this as well. And we all know women are the more romantic sex. As for the steak vs chocolate thingy, it really depends on my mood and current level of hunger. The hungrier I am, the more my mind veers towards thoughts of rich, juicy slabs of meat. But if I'm missing my bf, I usually aim for chocolate. Heh.
Author Jersey Shortie Posted February 13, 2010 Author Posted February 13, 2010 Paddington, it would have to be some AMAZING chocolate to choose that over sex.
allina Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I'm not much of a chocolate lover. I enjoy a good dark chocolate truffle on occasion but I've never been like "OMG CHOCOLATE!!!"
meerkat stew Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Don't eat much red meat, and never was a big steak fan, prefer fish for protein. Love dark high cacao almost bitter chocolate with black coffee, don't like it diluted with sugar or milk.
