How to judge a dude by his food

Hahah that's a funny list. How about a guy that orders all of the above? lol

I got a burger boy, but it turns out he's just that - all the time! So solid, and unfortunately, I've had one too many "bites", to my dismay. So I'll hold out for a little too solid, and vote for a more diversified dude!

Funny. My husband and I were both young and broke when we started dating so I really couldn't judge him by his food tastes. It became a standing joke that he'd always get chicken and I'd always get fish.

I wasn't much of a "foodie" then but in the last few years I've gotten more and more into cooking. Luckily my husband is the perfect man because he is one of the least picky eaters I've ever seen. He likes just about anything I'll cook and doesn't insist upon meat at every meal. I know I'm turning into a good cook when my once picky son now says that "Mom's cooking is better than restaurant food."

thanks for the tips ladies, i will now add 'food deception' to my dating arsenal...just kidding

Everyone's such an expert on dating, aren't they? :) Eat what you want, do what you want, and if that's not good enough for the person you're dating, so be it. Move on.

If Maggie knew the way they treat turkeys before the slaughter, it would become clear to her why she dislikes people who eat it outside of the folklore (aside from the fact that the processing of the carcass afterwards makes it deathly for your health and almost tasteless). Same goes for chicken, hogs and cattle. Sure it's great for the "economics" of mass production/distribution, but give me a break. Can't we eat something that is REALLY tasty? Once we catch up to Asia and Europe in this regard, we will make a big turnaround in both body and spirit (if we can overcome about 80 years of systemic and systematic human body poisoning by "scientists" and "industrialists"). All of those ingenious "things" on the ingredient label (high fructose corn syrup, hydrolyzed soy protein, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, FD&C YELLOW #5, sodium nitrite, trans fatty acids, etc.) not only make the food taste bad, but contribute to your bad "moods" and slow death. Think about this:
1. Most women above the age of 40 are at risk of developing reproductive organ cancer;
2. A large number of women UNDER the age of 25 have some form of reproductive organ disease;
3. Most women have superb bodily hygiene;
4. Most women eat "enriched" flour, canned food, carbonated beverages, highly processed foods (just about anything located in the center of the large chain "food markets") and have an excessively high intake of meat in general, but especially meat that has been processed almost to the point that the animal no longer even "looks" like the original species, let alone tastes like it. They eat these "foods" regularly and over the long-term.
5. Most women do not follow a sensible body activity regime (more commonly known and loathed as "exercise").
What can you conclude from this?
Can disease flourish in the presence of a strong and robust immune system? What role does chemically treated food play in promoting/destroying a strong and robust immune system? What role does your emotional experience with food play? ("Gosh, even though I satisfied my "Hunger", why do I feel so miserable now?") Will any kind of doctor prescribed "medicine" or "pill" reverse the effects of a lifetime of processed food indulgence and lack of even something as simple and healthy as walking? Now with the so-called "Sport Drinks" we are entering into a whole new world of mass consciousness duping when it comes to what we put into our bodies as food.
Just as it is important to judge individuals by what they eat, how much they eat and how they eat, we should also judge our society.

When a guy orders Steak to me from my experience he will be Full of way too much testosterone, a clunkhead, short fused, easy to anger, narcissistic, sit on the couch all day and watch sports kinda-guy. "Twist me off a cold one darlin, I'll be in charge of grillin the steaks." WHAT! I GO OUTSIDE FOR ONE #@*&# MINUTE TO FLIP THE STEAKS AND WE MISS THE PASS AND THE OTHER TEAM @%#$*& SCORED??????? WHY THE &*%#@* DIDN'T YOU TELL ME AND CALL ME IN??!!! Ah well maybe because if you saw it, you would start throwing things again like the last time??Yep that was my steak guy story. LOL Got rid of him and have been with the most amazingly sweet "BABY! WANNA GET A WHOLE BUNCH OF APPETIZERS TOGETHER AND SHARE THEM???" KINDA GUY., For 2 years now. and it's been awesome We love Chicken as well, and were totally in love he lives in LA and that's what we order all the time when we go out. So were never bored for each restaurant has their own super chic, yet hearty, fun, yet healthy..... APPETIZERS! :).

My man served sushi the first time I had dinner at his place...I had to marry him!

Hahaha! So funny!

This is hilarious - the chicken tenders may truly not be a good sign!

I can't believe I waisted my time reading this.

Well, now we know why Maggie is still single.

Love your list. It's true you shoudl definitely watch what a man eats over a period of time. After 25 years with a man who thinks burgers, pizza and chicken are the ONLY food on the planet you get pretty fed up with the question, "what are you making for dinner?" Like I care... I am forced to have dinner parties if I want to enjoy a meal with others who enjoy the fact I am a darn fine cook if I do say so myself, but how many dinner parties can you have in a month! After a while you run out of steam, I say, fend for yourself and clean up your own mess. I'll meet you in front of the TV, with that A1 sauce you can't find in the fridge, as soon as my crabcakes are ready.....
It gets old, being married to the guy McDonalds chose to test recipes on!!

I'm glad mexican food was not mentioned

look, she does have a point. i spent nearly 4 years dating a guy who was the pickiest eater on the planet. once, we came thisclose to breaking up because he caught me eating avocado and i had the gall to offer him a bit (green food apparently grossed him out). trying to cook for him was a nightmare (i ended up gaining almost 20lbs because the only thing he would eat was instant mac & cheese, pasta, hot dogs and pizza), and even when he was eating one of his favorites, if i so much as suggested anything more exotic for myself (much less actually made it or ordered it), it would "gross him out" to the point of him not eating, and guilting me into losing my appetite as well. nothing against picky eaters, but i will never ever be able to handle more than a simple friendship relationship with them (luckily, my partner now is just as adventurous an eater as i am, and even though he thinks raw fish is about the most disgusting idea he's ever heard of, he'll still go to the sushi bar with me and just order a plate of terriyaki chicken for himself).

this is very fun!

The first time my husband asked me out to dinner was on his birthday (5 years ago). He showed up at my place with Papa John's cinnamon sticks. I thought he changed his mind about eating out. But we did go to Ruby Tuesday's although I can't remember if he ordered steak or a burger -- he usually orders one or the other. I've gained 40 lbs since.

I don't think it's silly to judge someone by their food tastes (as long as it's not a rash judgement). I would say that, depending on the situation, any choices are acceptable as long as there's a reason behind it. If you ask him why he ordered that, and the only answer is "uh, I dunno" then he's probably a boring person.
It's not silly to think that tastes (literally) are important. My old man and I (age gap -- less in common) have very different opinions when it comes to politics and business, but we are both foodies. Enjoying something together that is important to both of you is very important, even if it is just food. It definitely matters to me that he's not picky, he has introduced me to numerous new foods and very fancy dinners, but he can also chill with mac & cheese.
I'm totally in support of your judgements!

WOW A BIT CLOSED MINDED ARENT'WE,HOW CAN YOU JUDGE A DATE OR ANY HUMAN BY WHAT THEY EAT? THAT'S LIKE JUDGING A PERSON BY WHAT THEY DRIVE,WEAR,LISTEN TO OR WATCH. THERE IS MUCH MUCH MORE TO A PERSON THEN WHAT'S ON THEIR PLATE. MAYBE THEY ARE IN THE MOOD FOR A SALAD ON A HOT SUMMER NIGHT,OR LIKE A GOOD STEAK EVERY NOW AND THEN,AND CHICKEN FINGERS CAN BE GOOD. I'M BETTING YOU ARE SINGLE AND WILL BE FOR A LONG TIME IF THIS IS HOW YOU JUDGE A DATE.

I think this was meant to be a light-hearted article; it's just a humorous take on the dating scene.

Truth be told, it's a waste of your life to analyze the guys' food choices in any more than a general sense, like, hmm, he only eats fish sticks and canned corn. Ever. Probably not good.

It's not so much what he's eating as how he treats you during a meal. Does he act like you owe him something if it was expensive? (Guys, we can pay! Buying dinner doesn't buy our souls for a night.
If you don't want to spend that much, don't. You can even suggest something else instead of going to dinner all the time. Lots of stuff is free.)

Back to dinner - does he try to order for you? That's just overbearing.

Does he give you a hard time for eating too much, or too little? Leave it alone, you're probably both a little nervous.

And here's one thing you can take to the bank.

If he finishes eating first, then behaves as if you're both done (starts clearing plates and trash, gets up as if to go, tries to rush you to finish, that kind of thing), I can guarantee you that you should run screaming. Why?

This is the guy who, at any stage of your relationship, including marriage, will go ham-thank-ESPN. That is, no bam, no ma'am (or miss), no cuddling, it's right on to whatever he wants to do next. It'll be all about him - when he's done, you two are done. With dinner, with sex, with whatever.

And that's all she wrote!

In summary, don't judge what the guy eats ... but pay attention to how he treats you!
