Judge a man by what he eats

[terry78]

I'm single, dating and a bit of a food person (to put it mildly). I can’t imagine dating someone who isn’t a food person or, worse, someone who eats the same thing every day. I know, I know—I’ll probably end up with a guy who lives on Spaghetti-o’s and Bud Light. And it’ll probably serve me right for being as judgmental as I’m about to be.

See, I often think about the so-called rules of dating, as they apply to the ladies: You know, like don’t order just a salad because you’ll be pegged as the diet girl or don’t ask for anything “on the side” because he’ll think you’re a high-maintenance diva. I felt like it was time to turn the dinner tables on the boys and offer up my own gut reaction to some common first date orders. And based on your response the last time I did something like this, I fully expect you to weigh in with your own opinions.

Steak - It's hot when a dude orders steak. That said, everything in moderation. I went out a few times with a tattooed pseudo-stud who ordered steak compulsively. It was cute —until I realized he was doing Atkins. Just like you don't want to know when we feel fat, we don't want to know that you're on a fad diet.

Fish - I really like you! You're confident and comfortable in your own skin. You appreciate the finer things and you’re a little bit health-conscious. Again, just don't order it every time, or I’ll start thinking you’re uptight.

Pasta - Perfecto. Just please don't wear a bib. And if you order something boring like pasta primavera, own it. Say you're in the mood for something simple. Otherwise I might picture myself in Napa sipping a pinot while you’re reaching for a Michelob Light.

Dumplings – You’re cute. Cute as a button, or, er…a dumpling.

General Tso's Chicken - You're not one to go against the grain, but hey, there's nothing wrong with an easygoing fella.

Greek salad - Points for culture, but just like we can't do the salad, you can't either. I don't care how much feta is in there.

Chicken tenders - Is your momma coming to dinner with us, little buddy?

Pad thai - Safest bet on the menu, but the fact that you suggested Thai in the first place is cool.

Fajitas - You're sizzling company. Just make sure you don't get any of that sizzle on my sweater.

Turkey - If it's not Thanksgiving and you're not at Subway, don't order turkey. I can't explain it but just trust me on this one.

Game - Uh, as long as it's not accompanied by hunting-with-Daddy stories, do your thing. And one more thing...please don't sport mandals.

Pizza - If we're at a Pizzeria or a pub, it's all good, but if we are at a white table-clothed restaurant, you might want to aim a little higher. I mean, what’s for dessert—karaoke with your frat brothers?

Burger – You’re a solid man of good taste. You know what you like and you better give me a bite.

Sushi – You’re a keeper. Especially if you do the omakase and If you have the courage to try blowfish, I’d like you to meet my family.

Dessert - Let's save this for the fifth date. By that time we both won't care about an extra five pounds.

so just about anything is okay?

^Sounds about right.

I'm all about how people eat, 'cause I'm weird.

I was totally digging this college football player when I was in HS. I loved watching him eat, he was a huge dude. The one thing I remember was him dragging his chicken off the plate and onto the tray, it was so primal and sexy.

A couple of guys I dated held their utensils in a way that was a total turn on, I think it was the structure of their hands.

This thread has WTF? written all over it.

[WolfCypher]

I found it fun to read. It was like a personality test...with food. What kind of person am I by what I eat?

I always eat Italian, Mexican, and Chinese.

LOL if I meet a girl that like sushi and not just a California roll then we will get along just fine! Couple girls I talked to are like sushi? ewwww! When I tell them what Unagi is then they really give me the dear in the headlight stare t:

Oh, snap! No he did-nt! Hey hey hey!

Man...right after reading this topic, I had a strong need to eat some pizza and tacos. Anyone who can cook half-decent food is alright by me. I'm not picky, as long as I get to eat non-stop.

 

[Nirvana]

This is almost as lame as those Myspace bulletins that say like "If you're born in August- u r dayum hot and 2v sexy!"

Interesting read, though.

 

[XSpidercideX]

It really scares me to know that some girls judge men on such pointless speculation.

Burger – You’re a solid man of good taste. You know what you like and you better give me a bite.

I love Burgers and i don't share my burger for any chick!

 

[terry78]

I'm still pissed about the chicken tenders comment....yes, I do order those with some fries and bbq dippin' sauce if I'm on a budget, so what?

 

[Hobgoblin]

What about turkey burgers with turkey bacon?

 

[terry78]

What about turkey burgers with turkey bacon?

That just makes you a hippie.

 

[Sugarculted]

It's all about the fish for me. Prawns, crab, salmon...tuna. I love it all.
Having said that, my woman doesn't half give me funny stares when she watches me eat

 

[lemmasaurus]

My boyfriend always gets the chicken tenders... sigh.

But I did turn him on to sushi! So that was a personal victory for me, and he loves it.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I don't really give a **** what the man I'm dating eats. Just as long as he's not becoming a porker because of it.

 

[LazloSpeeker]

I think most guys pretty much 'don't care' what a woman orders. The salad thing is kind of annoying unless very large and topped with alot of dead animals.

Other things turn guys off when dining out.

1. The salad - why the hell take a woman out if she's just going to order a salad?

2. Doggie bags - I'm not cheap when out but I like my woman to finish it or have the courage to say 'I'm full and I don't wan't a damn doggie bag.' Believe it or not, it a plus to have a woman who doesn't eat out of a doggie bag.

3. Don't order the same thing as me everytime. There's nothing wrong with it once in awhile but everytime makes a guy wonder and causes problems in my head.

LMAO hahaha that one made me laugh! I am a sushi man myself!

NO! Ok, yes it does.

BTW, do women really get turned on by watching men eat? Thats insane.
