Certain food certain gender....well maybe?

Question

Have you ever noticed that certain foods are more associated with one gender or the other? For example; when I think of a smoothie I think more of a girl eating one. But when I think steak I think guys. obviously both genders can eat whatever they want but anyways, have you ever noticed this?

Answer 1

yes i have. it may be because of media always portraying characters like the rich girl to drink a smoothie and go to the mall. while the dad wants his wife to cook him a big steak. Everybody enjoys different things and can eat whatever they want just as you said. But i think sometimes things like food and sports are portrayed as that in media and books ,etc. But reality is much different than any fiction media will portray it to be.  

Answer 2

I would associate this with our roots.

Females have usually been resourceful gatherers and opportunists while males have been aggressive hunters and pursuers.

Answer 3

Maybe a salad.  Especially as an entree, it seems to be something women eat more than men, but I think that's changing.

Answer 4

i notice it everytime me and my friends go out to eat and i get the same stuff as the guys..

im a meat and potatos kinda gal, what can i say?  

Answer 5

i think that's definitely true. i think that, unfortunately, things like fruit smoothies & salads are associated with women because they're seen as slimming or "weight loss" foods, & our culture expects women to be thin. protein-heavy things like steaks are good for building muscle mass, which i think is what our society expects of men. just my 2 cents :-)

Answer 6

ain't that strange.. how men love their STEAK?

think about it...  

Answer 7

nope

Answer 8

In reverse ::

Well, for a guy I think it's good to love oysters, uh,  but what about bananas?
