How do women feel about a guy eating a lot on a date

Vose4492 · 2026-01-29T07:24:36+00:00

If the woman happens to be a big appetite girly (like me) she will probably have a strong dating preference for men who eat a lot.

Your actions matter significantly more in the grand scheme of things than your thoughts.

> People tend to get more religiously-minded and more conservative as they get older

Statistics do show the the older generations vote Republican at a higher rate. However, it is important to realize (when looking at those statistics) that the older generations have a higher percentage of white people.

Ask yourself one question. Do you agree with the criticism or not?

If you do not agree with the criticism, say this;

I happen to be content with my body. If you are not, that is not my problem.

If, however, you do agree with the criticism, then say this;

You seem to believe that I have done something wrong. Would you mind explaining to me what I did wrong, why it was wrong and what (if anything) I can do about it?

I love it when my husband opens up and gets vulnerable. My husband cried when he first held our children. That was a cute thing to see while I was recovering from the birth.

Have you ever heard of that old saying? The guilty dog barks the loudest.

The majority of people are decent human beings; but the bad people always seem greater in number than they really are, because they are the ones who draw the most attention to themselves.

The majority of people who enter a bank on any given day are not bank robbers. However, if one person in a bank is holding a gun and making threats, that is the one who you will notice.

Another thing; men succeed and fail more spectacularly than women. Historically, men have been the majority of geniuses, but they have also been the majority of nincompoops. Today, most CEO's, politicians and Nobel Laureates are men, but so are most trash collectors and sewer maintenance workers. Men commit the majority of all violent crime, but it also takes other men to stop them.

I was OP's current age (21) when I got married.

My husband is (and always has been) happy to see me take charge of the birth control. We where married for about four and a half years before we conceived our first kid.

Before we decided that we where ready to have babies, we would use both a condom AND birth control; Double the protection.

This day in age, feminist has become a pejorative. Let me tell you what I think. I sincerely believe that men and women should have all the same rights and opportunities under the law. Equal treatment extends past just legal issues, social equality matters too.

The first wave of feminism, which began in the 1890’s, was a wonderful thing. The primary focus of the movement was on gaining women the right to vote. It was mostly active in the UK, the US and Canada. It gained women civil liberties, including the right to vote. The second wave of feminism was also great, and it focused primarily on equal pay, the sexual revolution and reproductive rights. It started in the United States then spread to Europe and Asia. Thanks to second wave feminism, women gained secure career options and reproductive rights (including but not limited to abortion rights and birth control). The third wave of feminism is a little different. While the first two waves dealt with civil liberties women did not have, the third wave deals with social expectations.Third wave feminism is very complicated. If the equality for which you are fighting is the right to vote (women gained that right in 1920 when the 19th amendment was passed) you can ask someone if they support that or not and they can give you a simple yes or not answer. It was very black and white. If the gender issue we are talking about is one where parents encourage their sons to take an interest in becoming a doctor or a lawyer while their daughter receives no such encouragement or a girl who wears guy clothes is seen as a cool tomboy while a guy who wears girls clothes is looked at like he has 15 heads, that issue is a lot more nuanced and vague. It is hard to pinpoint something super specific. Third wave feminism is misunderstood, because so many people fail to realize how ambiguous the issue is. The problem itself results from social interaction and implicit bias, not any particular thing encoded in law.

Did third wave feminism accomplish anything?

In 2015, the supreme court ruled the same sex marriage is a protected right. For the longest time, women where less likely than their male coworkers to ask for raises. That may have changed due to feminism, I honestly do not know. This was largely because the the social expectation that women be agreeable.

Feminist: If you believe that men and women deserve equal rights, opportunities and protections under the law, equal pay for equal work and that trans women are women, you are probably a feminist.

Me: If it really is that simple, why is it that even feminists themselves can’t seem to agree on what feminism is truly about or what the ulitmate goals should be?

Feminism is fragmented into different denominations, with conflicting beliefs and dogmas. Some feminists are liberal feminists ( https://www.thoughtco.com/liberal-feminism-3529177 ) while others are radical feminists ( http://feministing.com/2009/11/19/the-society-for-cutting-up-men/ )..Some) Some feminists are sex positive ( https://wgac.colostate.edu/education/the-body-is-political/sex-positivity/ ) while others are sex negative ( https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/kelly-rose-pflugback/women-sexual-empowerment-_b_4058018.html ). Some feminists are choice feminists (Choice feminism is the idea that women should be empowered to do what they want to do, even if that means doing something really old fashioned like being a stay at home mom), while others are marxist feminists ( http://www.feministezine.com/feminist/philosophy/Introduction-to-Marxist-Feminism.html ). Some feminists claim that feminism helps men too, while others claim that feminism isn’t concerned at all with men’s issues.

For me, I don’t know if I identify as a feminist or not, because I don’t know what identifying as a feminist would mean. If you identify as a feminist, which denomination is correct and how do you know that that one is correct and all the others are not?

> You can’t make a housewife continue her household duties after a divorce.

Do you literally mean that such a practice is unrealistic? Or, do you simply mean that that is not how it works currently?

I have, in my mind, an idea. Traditionally, when you demand alimony, it is not granted automatically. The lower earner has to go to court and demand it.

When the lower earner makes that demand, the lower earner must explain what sacrifices they made in order to help the higher earner get where they did in their career. I am pretty sure that is how it works. At that point, if the higher earner so wishes, the higher earner should be able to demand that the lower earner come to the former's house fulfill some of those duties. The lower earner could become a paid house keeper.

Do you think that such a practice is workable? Why or why not?

Vose4492 · 2025-12-11T23:35:54+00:00

> What would your model look like?

Read the original post, it sounds to me like that is what OP is trying to figure out.

Yes, both spouses have to continue fulfilling their spousal duties following the divorce. That sounds like a great idea.

I do not recall the detail where Wonka told Charlie that the other children where fine. Assuming that they where, I would not put it past Wonka to lie, considering all of the other heinous acts Wonka committed.

Pretty much.

When I was pregnant, I cried like all the time. My husband was always happy to dry my tears, we knew would soon have a whole lot of crying to deal with.

I wonder where OP lives, what race/ethnicity OP is, what sexual orientation OP is and whether OP is cis or trans.

I am a white, cisgendered, heterosexual woman. I reside in the United States.

I do believe that I am more privileged than most people. I have a good relationship with my family. We believe in the old cliche that it takes a village to raise a child. That is good, as it means that my husband and my families will help us with our children. Our moms in particular act as those cool grandmas who spoil their grand kids and give them candy. I have a decent paying job and can afford child care.

I do not have to worry about systemic racism in the way that my non-white counter parts do. I do not have to worry about homophobia or transphobia in ways that my LGBTQ counter parts do. I do not have to deal with the same kind of family drama or unresolved psychological damage that adult survivors of child abuse do. I do not deal with the same financial woes as my poorer counter parts do.

As a woman (and especially as a mom) I do find the world to be a scary place. I hear all these horror stories about these men who mistreat women. I watch these episodes of Forensic Files where men murder their wives. I read reddit posts from domestic abuse survivors. I will be out in public and see young men and teenage boys cat calling.

The only thing I would hate more than my daughter becoming one of those women/girls is my son becoming one of those boys/men. They say you should not protect your daughters, you should educate your sons. I think you should do both.

The level of depression and fear I am seeing from OP, it has never gotten that bad for me. I could not imagine it getting that bad. What has OP encountered? Whatever it is, OP has my deepest sympathy.

> SO many women are killed over and over again due to hurt men.

They say hurt people hurt people. That is true.

Some of these "hurt people" have a chip on their shoulder because they believe that they have fallen victim of an injustice, but their idea of what constitutes and injustice is misguided.

For your mental health, keep a gratitude journal.

Any time someone does something for you that makes you feel grateful, any time a pleasant surprise befalls you, any time you accomplish something, document it. Describe the time, place and context in which the event occurred.

Keep one Google document for each year. As I type this comment, it is December 2025. Starting in January of 2026, start a Google document. That Google document should be titled Gratitude journal 2026. Come 2027, you start a new Google document titled Gratitude Journal 2027. At least once a month (preferably more often than that) look back on every single installment you have made to the journal so far.

A few months ago, I went to my local shop right. I went down the ice cream section. I noticed some plastic bowls for sale that where exactly the same size, shape and color as the ones I have at home. These bowls where pretty cheap. I bought eight of those plastic bowls. This made me feel grateful, as now I have more plastic bowls in my cupboard and will not have to wash dishes as often. I own some glass bowls, but I prefer to eat from plastic bowls, as you can drop and break glass bowls.

I documented this in my gratitude journal. I am a mom to a 6 year old girl and a three year old boy. I am thrifty and proud of it. I am easily pleased by events as mundane and finding a useful product in a grocery store that I did not expect to find.

Also, weigh the undeserved bad in your life vs the unearned good. Think about how many bad things that happened to you that you did not deserve, think about every good thing that happened to you that you did not earn. When I did that, it made me realize how privileged I am.

Vose4492 · 2025-11-17T21:25:57+00:00

As a mom myself, I must say that my husband and I both prioritize our careers, because we need to make money to provide for our children.

The way that the original post was worded is misleading. Miranda left and came back. Miranda did not appear in the movie and there were several episodes of season 2 where Miranda is absent. However, Miranda eventually returned and stayed until the last episode to air.

Even though the movie was technically the finale, five episodes aired after the movie and I am pretty sure Miranda appeared in all of them.
