What does a guy think of an average size girl that eats a lot? I will pig out on great food and candy. I love to eat. Is this a turn off for men? I never let my weight get out of hand, I am very active and have a good body, but when I pig out, what do you think?

Depends on the individual guy. Yes, I'm sure there are some guys who will watch what a woman eats and silently judge her by it, but I don't get that. Why is it okay for men to pig out on steak and wings and nachos and gallons of beer but not okay for women? It's a ridiculous double standard.

Here's my question to you: who cares what we think? If a guy doesn't like it, what are you going to do, stop eating? Eat a pizza before every date so you only have salad with him? Change who you are and deny yourself something you enjoy so that some dude won't think less of you? F that.

If there's one thing I've learned in this job, it's that women worry too damn much about what guys think about them. Am I too fat for him? Is my ass too big? Hips too wide? Arms too hairy? Bush too hairy? Labia too big? Boobs too big/small? Legs too stubby? Feet too ugly? Skin too pasty? Too short? Too tall? Hair too short? Hair too long? Skinny jeans okay? High heels okay? Too smart? Okay that I didn't go to college? That I'm living at home? Taking anti-depressants? Bipolar? Recovering alcoholic/addict? Parents are alcoholics? Too rich? Too poor? Dad's in jail? etc etc etc.

What's ironic about questions like these is that any guy who would judge you so harshly on things as superficial and unimportant as these isn't worth dating in the first place! Of course we all have preferences for potential mates, but if a guy would look down his nose at you because you order a cheeseburger instead of soup, better you should find out early on that he's a shallow, judgmental twit so you can show him the door.

If you're in good health and you like to eat, then eat and don't worry about what he thinks. Plenty of guys don't care; we like a woman with a healthy appetite and don't think only men deserve to enjoy food. Be who you are and do what makes you happy, and find someone who loves you because of it, not because you are willing to change to meet his superficial criteria.

Thanks for the question.

Lady- I'm going through the same thing! I'm so glad you asked this question. I hope you're right Cary. xoxo

WELL said! Girls worry too much! If a guy can't appreciate that I can devour a medium pizza by myself and still stay a healthy weight, they are not the guy for me. Double standards suck - on both sides!

Cary McNeal

Right on, Izzy. Eat the hell out of that pizza. I'll get my own and join you.
