Men Want Women To Order Steak, Not Salad

Why men are not impressed by women who eat rabbit food on a date.

A recent study of male and female undergrads at Canada's McMaster University revealed that, sadly (if unsurprisingly), young women tend to eat like frightened rabbits in front of their male counterparts. According to researchers, the women believed that eating small portions and low-calorie foods impresses the men. Lemondrop: Cheap Wine Pairings For Cheap Foods You Actually Eat

In my experience? Going out with women who eat like small woodland creatures sort of takes the fun out of a meal. And I've heard the old "But I like salad!" refrain. I'm not saying you don't. What I am saying is, I think the only men who will be "impressed" with your order of leaves and roots are the Wrong Men. Lemondrop: Surprising Things That Turn Guys On (Besides Breathing)

I mean, seriously—do you want to be with some dude who thinks that when you're out together, it's OK for him to take down the better part of a cow, but you've got to get your dressing on the side? Who is this a-hole you want to impress? Lemondrop: Guys See Girls Who Drink Beer As "Sexy, Independent, Fun."

Going out for dinner is a privilege. It's really not until you're in college that you can go out and be treated (somewhat) like an adult by the wait staff, and—here comes a touch of global perspective, team—we're awfully lucky to be comfortable enough economically to be waited on and served food and drink in a decorated structure designed for our pleasure.

I think there's something sexual about really enjoying your food. Not so much what you eat as whether or not you eat something you enjoy.

Not this ol' chestnut. Sure, that is what men say but the reality is, they will only go out with those women who attempted to be "ladies" ie; those who eat like birds and put on a front. Those who eat with abandon are the ones that they will go home with but then give ye olde "I'm-not-really-looking-for-anything" speech.

What would men have to whine about if women stopped giving a fig about what they think, eh?

I don't know. I think a nice guy likes a girl who eats food. It shows that she is confident and doesn't have a lot of image issues.
