"I think I eat more slowly and less wolf-like when I'm around others"

LOL I'm a bit of a wolf myself unless I'm around others ;)

   

Ha!

Funny, because I had a date that afternoon after I posted that.  We were supposed to have met at 2, for brunch, but I pushed it back to 4 because of another obligation.  So, 4:00 isn't really an eating hour.  And it was HOT HOT HOT (we were in a bar with a big open window, therefore no air conditioning).  And I wasn't really into the guy.  So when he asked if I was hungry, around 5-5:30, even though I certainly could have eaten something, I said no--didn't want to feel beholden.  And then I watched him demolish a really yummy looking crab cake.  And I laughed, b/c I remembered this thread!

since the study was done with college girls, i'm not all that surprised. they're trying to impress the guys, and look more dainty and feminine by eating like a bird!

i personally don't eat any differently around guys than gals, but i'm in a very different place in life from the ladies in the study -- 35, happily married, mom to soon-to-be-two kids, and comfortable with myself. since i'm not trying to attract or impress anyone, why eat differently in the company of men?
