Hey Babe, You Hungry?

➢ This line is so common it's a bad joke.

What's bizarre, is how little men STILL understand what the woman is saying.

Let me clue you in: the answer will almost ALWAYS be "I don't know."

"I don't know" is translation for, "Listen honey, I know you want to take care of me and you're doing it by prioritizing my needs, and I appreciate it. But this is food... it's not a need, it's a desire - and you're not even stating what you want, which means you're not just prioritizing me, you're discounting your own desires entirely in favor of my own. That's really unattractive. I want a man who is decisive and who leads, and who gets me. You don't get me, which is why you have to ask me. If I really had a preference for food, I'd have hinted and you'd have picked up the hint. But clearly I haven't hinted or you're not paying attention to me, and I'm not too happy about it. In either case, the way you redeem yourself is by growing some balls and LEADING me somewhere. Babe, it's not about the food, it's about spending time with you - most restaurants have enough menu items that I can always find something I want. So for Pete's sake be a man and pick something.... I don't know, what do you want?"

PS, fellas... if you were a real man, you'd make life an adventure, and live adventurously. If you make being with you fun and exciting and challenging for her, she will follow you everywhere, even to restaurants she hates. Would you rather she be in love with a guy who makes her feel happy, excited, and on her toes? Or would you rather her be bored, with your balls in a little plastic box she carries in her purse while she eats food that she kinda likes but is ultimately irrelevant because flavors fade?

It's not about the flavors. It's about the experience.
