Men vs. Women: Food

So Men and Women don't always see eye to eye.  They process thoughts in totally different ways and this leads to misunderstandings, fights, and all kinds of other such nastiness.  Today I'm going to illustrate this difference through food.

Imagine a dude, sitting on the couch playing Day of Defeat or something.  He gets hungry.  The man thinks: "Food."  Then he gets up, goes to the kitchen and looks for something to eat.  He finds something, he eats it.  Dude is satisfied, Dude goes back to gaming.

Now imagine a chick, sitting on the couch playing Dragon Siege or something.  She gets hungry.  The woman thinks: Hmmm, I'm hungry, what do I feel like eating?

The difference is subtle, you may have missed it.  I'll give you a moment to read it again....

If you think the woman has somehow managed to turn the act of feeding herself into an emotional issue then you are correct.

Granted, she probably has a pretty good idea of what food is available to her in the kitchen but she is still wondering what she feels like eating right this moment.  If she doesn't have it, she will either go get it and be satisfied by it or she will settle and be left feeling a lot like she did last night with that musician who just couldn't quite bring her to the Big O.

Everything has an emotional effect when women are going about their lives and making decisions.  They aren't just thinking about the need to eat, they're thinking about how that food is going to make them feel.  Why do women like chocolate, because it's food that feels good to eat.  Men will eat something even if it tastes bad.  If a woman eats something that tastes bad it's because she's making a sacrifice for someone else and the sacrifice makes her feel good about eating something awful.


Maybe I'll turn this into a series.... tune in next week!
