Why do some women act like chocolate makes them feel better?

Question

i'm a woman, and chocolate does not make me feel better. why do other women follow the little tv stereotype?

Answer 1

Because food comforts some people... That's why.  

Answer 2

There are chemicals in chocolate that really DO make you feel better, perhaps you just aren't sensitive to them, some people aren't.

Answer 3

Well that's because the world is the way it is! I don't think chocolate makes me feel better, it is just one of those things that makes you think it does! Woman just follow the stereotypes, sad, but it is what it is!

Answer 4

cuz its good

Answer 5

Some people find relief in food, like some drink when they are heart broken. Chocolate has some aphrodisiacs and serotonin that helps some women feel better when they are depressed. Not all women stop producing serotonin when they get depressed or get depressed cause they stopped producing serotonin so that is why chocolate doesn't work with everyone.

I personally eat a lot when I'm depressed and that makes me feel better. Maybe it is true, "WITH A FULL TUMMY, THE HEART CAN NOT BE SAD"

Answer 6

Chocholate actually is an afrodisiac.  It triggers areas of your brain responsible for happy feelings.  Try it.

maybe girls just use that sterotype as a joke cuz when u feel bad i guess it's kinda funny when ppl say "i need some choclate?"

Answer 8

Maybe you aren't eating the right chocolate.

Answer 9

different strokes for different folks!

some women like cuddling and candle lit dinners, I don't!

chocolate really does help me feel better.  if it's good quality chocolate like Lindt or Dove.  Hershey bars won't do it.

Answer 10

I have no idea I get sick when I am hurt Food never helps if a guy dumps me or I get sad!

Answer 11

Chocolate actually does trigger pleasure centers in your brain because of the chemicals it contains and makes your body release.  

So maybe you're not sensitive to it...but it most definitely does have a positive reaction on humans.

Answer 12

Its not a stereotype, chocolate releases endorphines which make people feel "happy", it also has caffeine which gives you an extra pep. The purer the chocolate, the more likely to have these effects. You may have a higher tolerance and need more chocolate to notice a differece.  

Answer 13

It's true, it does! Chocolate releases endorphins...endorphins make you happy! Chocolate is pretty amazing stuff...maybe you have to eat more than most women for it to affect you...maybe it just doesn't affect you at all. But I will tell you one thing, YOUR MISSIN OUT GIRL!  

Answer 14

No idea, chocolate makes me sick to my stomach. its just off of movies and people automaticly think it helps them and due to that belief im guessing it unstresses them. I thik the only think that makes me feel better are freezies or a nice long walk.

Answer 15

Because it had been scientifically proven to cheer you up!

Answer 16

It might not make you feel better but it does some women. The things that make you feel better do not work for everyone. We all have our own things that make us feel better.  

Answer 17

Chemical compounds react differently in everyone.  Some people are allergic to chocolate, some people get a rush from the caffeine and sugar, and some people just plain like it.  There's a reason behind that stereotype!

Answer 18

It a proven fact that chocolate opens up the good endorphins in your body.  That is why they say it is better then s*x however it isn't it just gives you the feeling like you feel after you have s*x.
