I may be a female, but I do NOT eat like one. Don't get me wrong, I chew with my mouth closed, and keep my napkin in my lap. What I mean by "not eating like a female" is I don't eat salads at dinner, I order a bloody ass medium rare steak with a side of starch! I don't think it's cute to eat some rabbit food as a meal... I see girls eating salads so they look "skinny" and it seems like they eat "healthy." Helllllll nawwww! I want to eat something filling that tastes good.... Not eat something leafy so I look cute. I feel perfectly cute eating my mooing cow. I at least cut it up and chew daintily.
I find that I'm one of the few who thinks it's normal to have a dinner out with my boyfriend and be comfortable enough to eat a piece of meat in front of him... Side note, my biggest pet peeve is when I'm out to dinner with my boyfriend and the server asks "one check or two." Now I've been with my boyfriend for two years and I can't see us not looking like we are together. But I've come to realize the servers must assume because I eat like a dude there is no way he and I are together. "Of course a girl would never eat in such a way in front of a man she is dating." I bet anything if I ate salads when we go out the server would bring out one check no questions.
Now don't get me wrong I enjoy a good Caesar salad before my meal... But I see salads as a before your meal/side dish! I don't trust people who eat a plain salad for dinner. I know many girls will say "I like salads," while this may be true, no one leaves a restaurant after eating a salad and says they are full two hours later! (In all honesty I could eat a full meal with meat and potatoes and smash something else a few hours later. But that may just be me.)
Here is my real conundrum. Why do females feel it's necessary to have to order a salad to look cute when eating in front of a male? My boyfriend thinks it's sexy that I like steak, and many other guys haven't opposed to the idea when I tell them I enjoy steak over a dinner salad. I'm sure it has something to do with girls growing up watching Laguna Beach and seeing the girls only eat salads and drink sparkling water. Thin ideals in media, as well as a girls need to not be judged by males, is out if hand. I hope more women feel they can eat a juicy burger or slab of steak without anyone, especially their man, judging them!!!
