Men eat more than women -- what a profound scientific discovery!

If the grub is good, I'll tuck right into it. I don't really care what the people around me think about it. You mind your appetite, I'll mind mine.

There’s that. To women, gas is a malady,
but to men, it’s recreational.

That was my first thought too. However, my ex-wife (and her family as well) would always scarf down the food tout suite, while I took my time.

Betcha she’s either A. hungry or B. thrifty.

i can live with this. In fact, more than live with this. It’s rare when I can ‘clean my plate’ & DH can always be counted on to follow up. I hate wasting food.

There is certainly ONE form of eating that’s GUARANTEED to make ANY woman happy - but we can’t mention it here.

Ah yes sniper ass gas... they don't do it for the awards and glory.. for them its all about personal satisfaction a job well done...and maybe the anguished crying and and gnashing of teeth of their enemy....typically their younger brother
