Compared to your significant other, are you a fast or slow eater? If you're out together eating, will you eat food off their plate to speed things up?

My wife is a PAINFULLY slow eater, on the other hand, I can eat a full plate in a couple minutes. When we go out to eat, it is absolute torture! I have to sit there for a ridiculous amount of time and wait for her to finish. A couple times, I actually ordered another meal! But that embarrassed her, so she said I can start to eat from her plate, since she rarely finishes her whole plate. Any of you go through something similar? Do you mind having someone eat from your plate?

I am definitely the slow eater compared to my boyfriend lol. It’s interesting because I usually make my plate of food much smaller than his and still he’s done before me. I do believe he can be an insecure eater, though, because he will feel bad if either I’m not eating with him or he finishes before me.

[Slingblade1126]

Yes! That's how I am. My wife also feels funny having watch her eat. That's why she started giving me food off her plate. I always tell her, "order plenty"! But of course, she feels funny doing that.

[HollyK21]

I wonder if this is just a woman thing because I do the same as your wife lol at least if we go out since I can control the portions. It’s usually too much so I put some on his plate so he isn’t just watching and waiting for me😂

*can’t

I'm definitely a slower eater, but a lot of times we will just share a plate. That helps speed things up, plus we don't overstuff ourselves into a food coma. Double positive!

[Slingblade1126]

I definitely eat too much, too fast. For a while I tried eating slow and drinking a lot of water. I felt so much better but unfortunately, it only lasted a couple weeks. I do try again every now and then but it's tough.

I am a slow eater because I used to go to Cracker barrel while traveling around USA for work. I can see you know with both hands shoveling and forgot what a utensil is. And the waitress gave up and set a pitcher of tea on your table...

And, I learned that the woman considers it an event or an artful exhibit where I have to nod and do all those things appropriately while chewing with mouth shut. Furthermore, pace myself so that we close at the same time... "enjoyed dining with him so much... that was so nice... and he makes me laugh... corny jokes but funny..." Okay but did you? "Yeah, sorta but not all the way... but yeah"

I assume you still like sex... Patience with a woman and let her enjoy her meal means I will enjoy both my meal an dessert...

I'm the slow eater in my relationship... she tries to eat my food and I start wanting to stab her hand with my fork.

It's like her culture though... they have these big get-togethers and they dig the fuck in as soon as they get the green light... I prefer to wait until the madness dies down and then make my plate. Eating with my family. A main topic for her is being hungry and gotta get something to eat. For me, I might eat once a day by myself... it's just not all that damn important for me like it is for her. Her though... can literally start acting retarded just because she's hungry. Genetics maybe... I don't know... her drive for food is out there. I only match her when I'm hitting the weights super hard... we find a sort of teamwork because I end up eating most of the meat off her plate and she really likes the bullshit carbs from mine.

He's a lot faster than I. I have to remind him to slow down because the next mouthful is already on his fork before the one in is mouth is gone

[Slingblade1126]

I get told to slow down all the time. One time, when we were out to eat, I started choking on a piece of chicken. All I heard was my wife saying, "I told! I told you someday you're going to choke"!

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t generally appreciate sharing food that way. If she’s reasonably good at holding up her end of the conversation though, i don’t eat super fast. “Breaking bread” is a meaningful event in all human cultures, past and present. There’s more going on than just stuffing your face. If i’m alone, i can clean a plate before the last bite is room temperature. But i’ll let an entire plate full of food go cold before i miss the opportunity to engage with another human being in such an important way.

[Wallythewalrus]

Well, you know how I eat, compared to my wife.

[Slingblade1126]

The way you eat is the least of you problems! I just don't know what that beautiful woman sees in you.

[Anonymous]

i'm usually always waiting on him so we can go fucking eat. so yeah, i do eat fast because i'm starving.

[Opinion Owner]

ooo someone mentioned about people trying to take food off your plate, this is why i try to avoid that also

[On_cloud_wine]

I stopped talking to a guy because he hate too fast.

[RobT312]

Im fast, everyone else is painfully slow to me. I accommodate by eating a little slower

[Anonymous]

i eat slow because having Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one annoying SOAB.

[jeltree]

I always eat super fast and I never feel full

[Slingblade1126]

That's a problem for me. I eat a lot and fast. I never feel full until a few minutes after I stop eating. Then I feel like I'm gonna burst. I also suffer from chronic heartburn.
