Would you eat less in the company of the opposite sex?

Apparently is has been proven that women do. Some scientists and psychologists have claimed that women eat less when they dine in the company of men so that they can appear to be more attractive. Whatever happened to being yourself?
The study compared the food choices women make when dining with their female friends where they opted for larger portions or more indulgent foods. Men seemed to eat what they wanted no matter who was with them.
What would you choose when dining with a date?

I would only eat less in the company of the opposite gender if the company/conversation was far better than the food. Food is meant to be experienced and shared with great company.

I wonder what data capture mechanism the sceintists used, the scaling techniques and qualititative decisions behind the results.
The statment "has been proven" indicates perhaps naivity. Scientists (Karl Popper or even Kuhn would agree) never "prove" anything.

There is a great quote that sums up my dilema: "The only thing I can't resist is temptation". In a nutshell - no! I enjoy eating and would not under any circumstances moderate my eating in front of anyone.
Posted by: tjm77 at February 19, 2010 7:39 PM
I would eat the way I eat alone or with my friends as I could not pretend after all I love food and would not waste it.

I NEVER eat less in the company of men. I LOVE good food. I would hate being with a man who is fussy or picks at his food..especially if I had cooked it! And if he cooks it, even better. One of the most romantic things a guy can do for you is to cook you a special meal......
Posted by: haventmetuyet1 at January 20, 2010 9:14 PM
Eat less? Hmm... I don't stuff food in my mouth - that's for sure... But conversation OR sophistication can take a hike if I'm hungry. No wonder I have more fun when dining out with friends. I always find that everyone is happy and full at the end.
Posted by: koreofspring at January 2, 2010 8:53 AM
Just enjoy the food together, isn't that what it's about, getting together. Good food, good conversation and good company.
Just forget yourselves and enjoy yourselves.
Posted by: iaminperth at December 30, 2009 8:24 PM
its best to act normal,i want a man to see i have a good appetite,not pig out,but enjoy my food,if a man truly likes you,he wont be worrying about what you are eating,he is most likely just as nervous.
Posted by: countrygal09 at December 30, 2009 3:26 PM
No way. I would eat normally. Actually most guys (& girls) I know comment on what a good appetite I have for someone my size. When on a date I usually order something similar to what they're having. I never eat dessert on a date, don't want to seem greedy but will usually have some chocolate when I get home:)
Posted by: andthebestpartis at December 12, 2009 12:42 PM
If I'm really comfortable with a date, or if I do not think that there will be a second date, I will eat my normal portion, which isn't huge anyways.
If I'm uncomfortable with someone, or if he's too sizzling hot he makes me hot and bothered under the collar (hehehe! :"P), my stomach will feel like it's all knotted-up and queasy anyways and I wouldn't be able to eat much so yes, under these circumstances, I'll end up eating less! ;)
Posted by: dreamybutterfly at December 6, 2009 10:55 AM
What a load of rub bish, everyone here on this blog is terrified of eating when on a date and pretending they are so in cool that eating is normal ..Rubbish...eating small is better for the digestion especiallly when you're nervous.
Girls.. please be yourselves.. no need to pretend your something you're not.or want to be.
Posted by: barataria at December 4, 2009 11:51 PM
I wouldn't eat less, But I might eat differently. If I ate any gluten my stomach would swell up real quick and I would be falling asleep within an hour - talk about a hot date...not. *L*
Posted by: sl1970 at November 30, 2009 8:08 PM
No chance! I eat what I want on a date, how is eating less going to make you more appealing?
Posted by: sleepy31 at November 25, 2009 10:44 PM
Maybe your date just puts you off food? Kind of makes you queezy in your stomach. Oh well, good for the diet I guess.
Posted by: outofthefryingpan at November 24, 2009 3:43 PM
If I ate less in the company of a man, it would only be if I was too busy talking to finish eating, or if the food was dreadful.
Posted by: shrinkingviolet0101 at November 21, 2009 10:18 PM
It can be exciting at the dinner table when a woman is really enjoying her meal especially when it is her favorite. As a guy I always encourage my date to try the lobster dish as theatre of the meal is memeorable for both.
Posted by: speedracer9 at November 21, 2009 12:46 PM
Depending on the date I might eat more just to give myself something else to think about.... Seriously.. why eat less, unless you were so nervous about the person and the date scenario you thought you might throw up if you ate very much food.
Posted by: notahothouseflower at November 21, 2009 1:21 AM
I wouldn't necessarily eat less .. and would that mean eating less OF the opposite sex, or eating less BECAUSE of the opposite sex?
Either proposition doesn't sound too good, does it, and I'd be disinclined to acquiesce to that thought process in any case!

My own philosophy....If I invited a friend for a dinner, coffee, cocktail drinks dates...I make sure It is my "shout" I pay the bills, doesn't need to split-up how much it cost..it is my treat and shout, don't need them to pay their shares. I am a generous person to think of.
Kept me wondering, why I was so special to all my dates doesn't want me to pay my share to split the bills. Most of time when having a date, I've always insist on paying my share, but they refused to accept, kind of, they're offended my offer when I open my purse to hand-over the money... Even in a first meet, they always pursuing me for expensive dinner date or day travels somewhere never been to ... when I refused, I see a great disappointment from their faces....
Reading the blogs comparing why ...whilst these men insisting women paying a fair share. What makes me different to them?? To be honest...Im wondering what makes me a special lady to be treated the way too important to them ...?!

Foods depend on the time-of-day, whether you have company and the-variety-of-food on offer. More comfortable masticating with company - be it with good or 'new' friends on a balmy afternoon or early evening. Lots of smiles & laughter...
Posted by: jobloke at September 30, 2009 1:07 PM
Depends...... if my date turns up in a ripped flannel shirt (which has happened) I would pretend I stopped at maccers before arriving. Then go to a thia restaurant by myself and comfort eat.
Posted by: butterflymaiden1 at September 28, 2009 6:51 PM
I was looking at the actual topic for a change (Ha! fancy that). Anyhoo. . .
I love love love and live food. There is no way I would intentionally not eat as much when on a date. Unless it would be due to being high-strung and nervous.
When nervous or upset I tend not to be able to eat. It's great when you want to lose some weight - just have a personal crisis!! Last time I lost 9 kg and fit back into heaps of my old clothes - not a nice way to lose the weight though - trust me!!
Also I find, despite loving food and loving to cook for people I care about and entertain - by the time I've prep'd the night before and then worked all morning before a lunch or a dinner - when the guests arrive - I can't eat what I've made - which is a great shame because it's so nice. So I just flit around, have a drink and pretend to eat. Wish I could be one of those completely relaxed C-type personalities who don't even raise an eyebrow at a Tsunami on the horizon. . . .
At least my guests seem to leave satisfied - and that's important to me.
Food and eating is such an intimate thing really . . . interesting to look into the psychology around food and eating.

I love this one Wa'choo:
"The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough."
I see things like that too.
Love Glitter.

Hi Grego : )
Mmmm, I don't know if I am healthy for you like a vitamin, but I do know that if you swallowed me, you would have nice side-effects for at least 12 hours . . . coming down is a bit rough - best to have a good sleep after - Not to be taken on a long-term basis ; ))
Love to you down there in Melb - my cyber dad. Hope life is getting a little gentler for you and the sun is starting to shine again xx

Posted by: glitterbelle at September 16, 2009 10:22 PM
Too long...
A husband and wife were sitting at the table attending the high school reunion.
The husband kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her alcohol drinks, as she sat alone at a nearby table.
The wife asked,...do you know her?
'Yes, he sighed,..she is my old girlfriend. I understand she took to a drinking right after we split-up, those many years ago,..and I hear she hasn't been sober since.
The wife answered...'' My God,.."who would think a person could go on celebrating that long ?!...
..and then the fight started...

Hi Belle,
Gosh, I meant lonely as in a newbie on the blogs not any other way : ))
I'm single by choice.
Yeah I sometimes wish my sons would eat half around the home, I'd be rolling in money.
Posted by: whatuc09 at September 16, 2009 6:57 AM
Hiya back whatuc!
Glad your happy to 'see' me but i'm not so glad to hear that you feel lonely.... chin up :)
Not sure if this will make any sense (i'm having a distinct lack of clarity moment) but what i am feeling is that my "singledom" is my choice, i.e. if you own your choice its easier to be positive about the consequences - the good, bad & ugly!
Never settle for lonely tho, it just represents a space you have chosen not to fill yet.... As for your chinese dinner its too bad that your son didn't experiment with the eating half theory - i suspect it would have also halved your bill!!
:)

Wow we now have 2 Glitters and both of them are Glitter B. How to tell the difference? Is more than one Glitter a Glitterati of Glitters?
Glitter B1 and Glitter B2, at least that sounds healthy like in vitamins.
Mmmmm, now Glitter B1 be carefull with your 5m kayak on that dinky car of yours. I reckon it would be easy to a give a truck a shove up its kyber.

Hi Belle, great to see another new face has joined in.....makes me feel less lonely : ))
Well in (almost) sticking with the blog topic, my 14 year old son shouted us all out to all you can eat Chinese, we all tucked away 5 plates plus dessert....I asked my son how he would feel if he took a girl to dinner and she only ate half a plate of food.....he looked at me as though I was talking a foreign language his only comments were "why would ANYONE do that-it makes no sense", and I agree with him : )

I had a tinny in Darwin and putting it on the roof of the landrover was a task and a half so I hear you! It just takes practice and then once you get the knack, its much easier. At least you don't have crocs waiting at the boat ramp :)
R is just great ty :)

Hi Wills,
It's bloody hard work! Try lifting an almost 5mt 22kg thingy above your head for any length of time (most women don't have much upper body strength). You've got to put the nose in first (apparently) then swing the arse in after - well that's what the boys told me - I'll let you know next week how I'm coming along : )) May need a few more lessons.
Yeah, I don't like my car - I am still in love with my old one (loyal) - a glitteringblue mitsubishi mirage hatch - some chick ran up the back of me and totalled it - mmmmm not happy Jan!! I still can't figure out why I chose black . . . . just one of those weird moments I guess.
How's R coming along?

Glitter - Little Miss Sunshine looks good although I don't know much about kayaks. I didn't realise they were that long. It certainly hangs out either end of the car a long way.

Hi Belle, welcome to Blog-land.
No fear - we are quite friendly here - try a little shite stirring - and you will get on famously. Why have you changed your name so many times? I've only changed my to Dark Angel when I feel mentally/emotional F#$D up - not often. . .
Froggy, you are very norty : ) But you are right, I do make the guys at the Club smile every week - no knack required, just being the dag I am . . . : )
I am very glad you went for another paddle - and I don't care if you ever beat me - I just want you to be happy and be out there on the glittering blue ocean : )))
I'm off for a rollerblade - woo hoo!

Welcome to the blogs. I too have a 5 year old border collie (x) "pup". Arent they just the best playmates?
Glitter, love your baby (and your car is pretty cute too). How do you manage to get it on and off?

Welcome Belle to nuthouse! I look forward to your blogs and hope you enjoy the craziness that appears here, take what's relevant and dump the rest but along the way you'll love the laughs and get to know the marvelous personalities we have here. Enjoy - Alove.

No duplicity meant Glitteringblue - your the first and foremost glitterer! I'd defer out of respect and change away from my glitterbelle (this was profile name version #5) but it seems all the good ones are taken - which is probably why i'm on here anyway! In the meantime i'm more than happy with Belle (Thanks Karen59)
And by the way my 'puppy' is a 5 year old border collie with gourmet taste and yes he is very well fed bottomless pit!! - he's a dog but dont tell him that :)
Belle.....

You are such a tease Froggy!
There can only be one Glitter... you know that.
Methinks 'Belle' might be the go!?
Welcome to the blogs Belle. Do you have a well feed Puppy? Food cooked by someone else always tastes much better than our own doesn't it?
Krazy ;)
Posted by: karen59 at September 13, 2009 11:21 AM
Hello Gorgeous Man,
I am totally loving it! It's a bit heavy to lift above my head and onto the roof racks - the boys at the club were trying to teach me a knack to it - think I've got it - but my arms are sore and still shaking from all that effort!
I have just uploaded a 2 photos onto my profile so you guys can check out my Baby Girl - should be up online by late this avo . . . I was a wee bit hung over in that shot (hehehe norty norty : )))
Heeeeyyy and what's the G O Glitterbell - you know . . . .

Posted by: glitteringblue at September 13, 2009 10:41 AM
Hi Glitter welcome to the blogs.
Yes i will agree that food does smell a whole lot better when someone else cooks it for you. Eating it is another thing... they say dogs are a man best friend...:)

Hi all... lets see if i can post this time!!
agree about the wood fired pizza - Yum! But back to the thread...
If i have made a mess in the kitchen it's all worthwhile unless i end up feeding it to my dog - If some one else has gone to the trouble I'm starving! (provided it looks and smells like food ) and I'll even do the washing up! so now to find dinner....
Posted by: glitterbelle at September 12, 2009 8:49 PM
Perth, I caught up with Woody last night in Brissy - we drank too many bottles of great red wine, takeaway gourmet pizzas, chocolate, loud music, even did some silly jamming - him on guitar, me on a real antique harmonica - lots and lots of laughs - hit the wall at 2am. Completely hung over this morning *groan* but worth every Nurofen Plus - all 6 of them!!
Thought you'd like to know what the non-dieting bloggers were eating and drinking : )))
Luv Glitter >;-)
Posted by: glitteringblue at September 12, 2009 8:38 PM
How's your shoulder Maybe? You are always welcome up here for the day - bring the kids, or not - we'll got to the beach, have a chat, eat some hot chips, have an ice cream - get away from Brissy for a day. You'd be amazed how good a day up here can make you feel - put everything back into perspective. Plus sometimes girls need to "off-load" to girls - it's a girl thing . . .
Luv Glitter : )

As a guy, I can't say I'd be impressed by how little a lady ate if I took her out - and I'd be downright disappointed if I went to the effort of cooking a meal for her and it only got picked at...
Nerves I can understand, but intentionally under-eating? I want a girl to have fun when we go out - and I can't understand how anyone would find going hungry fun!

Posted by: iaminperth at September 12, 2009 5:34 PM
Oh... poor babe! Yep, have a glass with me... then wrap your laughin' gear around a few slices of pizza!! This game is seriously flawed.... bit like the pokies, who really wins? Come to think of it, I don't play the pokies... so why the hell am I here?

Watchoo, they sound yummy! And very healthy too (*grins*).
Me&3, that's a healthy appetite! Good on you!
Perth - I luuurve woodfired pizzas. We have a w/f Pizza Cafe here and they're delicious!
Posted by: willow29 at September 10, 2009 2:51 PM
Yum MM3, Order two and I'll eat the other one. I love Pizza. We have a very small Pizza shop nearby called Ciao Bella and they have fabulous Pizzas with yum fresh stuff on. Huge woodfired oven and there is a line up sometimes , it's so good. I have to be so careful and not purchase as I am still dropping weight. Every now and then though we pick up a couple and chill out with a few glasses of vino.,
Posted by: iaminperth at September 9, 2009 5:49 PM
well..... i will eat less if im nurvouse but never to impress a guy! I am proud to say that i am addicted to pizza! Can eat a whole large one myself believe it or not! lol

Posted by: karen59 at September 7, 2009 10:27 PM
I think the pickers are just plain rude at times. After all it is sort of like a gift I think and it must be so disappointing to the person giving it.
I would look ridiculous picking at my food as I am obviously a fairly robust eater. And anyway I love it when someone else has cooked, presented and is going to do the washing up. And it's part of the whole social ceremony of being with another person and sharing good food and wine. I hate being with people who are so hung up on themselves they can't even accept a good meal without making it all about themselves.
I have two daughters, one picky as all, and it's all about her. And the other eats like a horse, loves her food and really lets the other person know. No points for guessing who is very slim and absolutely beautiful and has dates lined up panting.

I love a good meal, and I show my appreciation by walking away with a 'food baby'.
Posted by: whatuc09 at September 6, 2009 3:51 PM
Eat less to appear more attractive? Definitely not!
If the person I am dining with does not find me attractive then the amount of food I eat is not going to change that. I love food and enjoy a lovely meal but would certainly avoid to choose tricky dishes on a first date ;)
Btw I dont believe that men appreciate the sort of woman that picks on salad leaves but rather like someone who can enjoy the pleasure of sharing a meal.
Posted by: tidaldancer at September 5, 2009 9:18 PM
I know one of the thing that annoys teenage boys the most is taking a girl out for dinner and she just picks at her food. In fact I have heard many men complain of the same thing. I think most people like to see a result of their thoughtfulness and a woman picking and not eating food is a pretty selfish act. I mean surely enjoying an evening with someone kind and thoughtful enough to take you to dinner means, enjoy it, and show it and share the pleasure.
Posted by: iaminperth at September 5, 2009 8:42 PM
No, I would eat my normal amount.
I would however try to avoid dropping a piece of food into the red wine jus on my plate and have it splash all over a new white cotton shirt. Oh, and avoid spilling white wine all over the table cloth when topping up my date's glass.
Posted by: icycle67 at September 5, 2009 8:32 PM
I have got to try one of these lychee martini's, sounds divine, I'm a cosmo girl usually but can be convinced as long as it's not one of the cream filled concoctions!! Alove.
Maybe, yep, cutlery is a necessity - love it.
Posted by: aloveoflife at September 5, 2009 6:27 PM
The martinis were no where near the potency that Oney can produce....but still tasty.
Controlled shoveling....well.....depends, on the dinner companion, for a newbie, yes, very controlled. For someone who knows me well....I have been known to inhale my food : ))
Posted by: whatuc09 at September 5, 2009 2:16 PM
Never..... always be yourself, because eventually the true you will shine through and no one likes dishonest surprises.. do they.
Also... I do use cutlery on dates ;) LOL
Posted by: maybeperfect4u at September 5, 2009 2:15 PM

Speaking for myself (a guy) I must say I find it quite disconcerting to go out with someone who does not eat.
I love my food and sharing a meal isn't really sharing if your really eating by yourself.
That said I also do find attractive someone who has managed to keep their physique under control. For me at 44 that means I have the watch what I eat between shared meals - and build up a calorie budget to spend when it matters - eating together.
Regards
Richard, Sydney
