Should I let my girlfriend eat hamburgers and french fries? (objective advice please!)?

Question

Okay here is the scenario....me and my girl were at McDonalds. She asked me what I was getting and I told her I was going to get a quarter pounder with cheese and some fries. She said "ooh that sounds good, i want to get that too." Then I told her no because it was too fattening for her and she needed to keep her trim figure. Then she was like "but you are getting it, why can't I?". Then I said because I am a guy and it is okay if we gain weight but if a girl gains weight it isn't attractive. Plus guys have higher metabolisms than girls do. I told her she was my little barbie girl and I wanted her to stay that way. Most of the time she understands my logic but she was on PMS and started pouting about it. Kudos to me for still paying for lunch. I ordered her a salad. Then while we were eating I told her that she could have a burger and fries for her birthday but she said she wanted Olive Garden! Women!! Anyways her friend found out and said I was a jerk. Am I wrong here?

Answer 1

the problem would be your term "LET"

Answer 2

You can't be serious? I have NEVER heard this. If you truly said this why your so called gf didn't kick your a$$ to the curb I do not know! Who are you to tell her what she can and can't eat are you kidding me!

I certainly hope you are just posting this in order to "see peoples reactions". Because YES if you are serious about this jerk is not the word I would use for you. In fact I think it is best left unsaid on this site.

Quite being shallow! By the way, if you truly loved a woman it wouldn't matter if she gained weight. AND what makes you think men can get fat and there oh just so sexy, but women on the other hand no way.....then there gross. Besides a woman OR man should remain and eat healthy for THEM not because there worse half tells them "no you can't eat that so you don't get fat". How old are you?? Get your priorities in order pal because you have everything backwards from what I can see!

Answer 3

Ok-First of all, just because you're a guy, doesn't mean you have a higher metabolism. Second of all, if your girlfriend is skinny, I doubt having one lousy, fattening McDonald's meal would have made her fatter. Third, Don't ever argue with a woman when she has PMS. Ok? Ok! And if she wants Olive Garden for her fricken birthday, just do it!! Yes, you are wrong here! What the **** is the matter with you?! You are her boyfriend, are you not?? Sometimes you just do things without question. Simple as that!

Answer 4

I hope you are joking - but on the slight chance that you are serious, yes you were 110% wrong. First of all, if you really loved her, you would love her whether she was a "little barbie girl" or whether she lost a leg in a car crash, or gained 10lbs. Second, you have no right to tell someone what to eat or when to eat. People can eat whatever they want and then work it off if their metabolism isn't up to par. Thirdly, if you knew you were gonna "restrict" her from eating what she wanted, why not try eating somewhere healthy? If you are going to tell her to eat salad, then you should be a man and eat salad with her.

Answer 5

You are very wrong and she needs to get rid of you fast. Who are you to tell her what she can or can't eat. She can gain or lose weight if she wants to and just because she eats a burger and fries doesn't mean she is going to gain some weight. You need a reality check cuz while you are telling her what she can't eat, she might be about to get rid of you and then you won't be eating her anymore. You are a loser.

Answer 6

You are much too bossy in my opinion. I never tell my lover what to eat for any reason. If she asks for suggestions, I'll offer some. She weighs 97 pounds at 5' 0.5", so I have no fear of her gaining too much weight. We both exercise and stay in shape. We never eat at McDonald's and rarely at other fast food joints. She is from Japan, so we often go to Japantown for meals, or she cooks. We do try other ethnic restaurants, and I may choose for her if she knows little about the dishes. We both like variety and adventure.

Answer 7

You know the best way for her to lose weight would be for her to drop your sorry a** and find herself a real man. If you can have them, then she can too. And if you don't want them and she does, then you know what? Too freaking bad. Deal with it. If you want a barbie doll, go out and buy one. Just make sure it's the kind you blow up, because I'm sure you'll have a whole lot of lonely nights ahead.

Answer 8

Dude, you need to learn how to talk to women. Instead of telling her she is not aloud...let her know how attractive you think she is and how hot her little body is either she will want to please you and order the salad herself, or she will choose the burger and spend some extra time at the gym...either way you don't look like a jerk and she stays hot!

Answer 9

hey you ******! don't treat her that way, as if she doesnt have any freedom. as long as she eats in moderation, allow her to eat what she likes, so what if those are fattening, she doesnt it those everyday! on the other hand, if she is eating a lot, sort of addiction and will cause health problems later then there you don't allow her and help her eat healthy. if you really love someone, even if she gains weight, you won't look at her less.

Answer 10

YOu have all the sublety of a wild chimpanzee at an art gallrty opening. Man laive, do you always think this way? You are a chauvanist who makes up rules which are totally BS.

YOu never insult anyone, nor try to controll them.

Answer 11

You're wrong here. She can eat whatever she wants to. Can she tell you what to eat? The answer to that is no so the same goes to you, you can't tell her what to eat. You have control issues and her friend was right in my opinion you are a jerk. You should let her eat whatever she wants to, it's her body.
