Should I let my girlfriend eat hamburgers and french fries? She thinks she can eat like a man and I told her?

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

Poor girl...she's probably starving. At least let her have a Kid's Happy Meal.

Answer 2

Yes. You are wrong. If she wants a cheeseburger and fries, lets her have one. If somebody gains a little weight, there is nothing wrong with that. That was mean. You should buy her a cheeseburger and french fries and tell her that your soory, and that she is all you ever wanted. You really screwed this up man. and her friend is right. what you said is being a jerk. and you arent her mom. she cn eat what she wants, when she wants. By the way, eating a cheeseburger is not like eating like a man. I get quarter pounders and fries too!!

Answer 3

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 4

Sounds to me like you're a big-EGO-guy. You want her to be perfect for you, so that you can enjoy her better. Like some guys with their cars. Only, a girl is NOT an object. You don't seem to love her for who she is. You love her for her body. And that's not really love anyway. That is called lust.
If you want her to be slim for you, then you should work it too. If she has to eat salads then why don't you join her in it. Instead of her having to look at you eating those burgers...
You are causing all kinds off disorders with this girl.
Yes, it is all ways more healthy to be in good shape. But that's not even why you want her to be slim, that's just for you. And even with the difference in metabolism guys can still look fat and bubbly too, you dumb@ss. And eating those greasy burgers isn't healthy for guys either by the way. And don't sit there and sell crap about how guys can look fat and girls don't. Because that's just in your bloated head...
She should find someone better. Someone who loves her, no matter what she looks like. Even though i think she should stay in healthy shape... For HER alone.

Answer 5

Yes you were wrong. You hurt her feelings and for that you should apologize. We as women are very sensitive about things like that. One burger and one order of fries is no going to ruin your little barbie girl. And guess what, it is not okay for you men to gain weight nor is it healthy. Now take your girl to Olive Garden and keep your mouth shut when she's ordering. Oh yeah, and tell her girlfriend to mind her business.

Answer 6

Your girlfriend should NEVER have to ask your permission to eat whatever she wants. What happens when the woman you marry gets pregnant? Are you going to limit her food intake and criticize her when she gets big? Guys like you make men in general a disgusting thought. My boyfriend does the same thing to me and I tell him where he can put his ideas. If he doesn't want me regardless of what I eat, he can go find some fool to put with his crap. If you really loved her, not the idea of her and her barbie figure you wouldn't care what she ate. Do you really think you are going to attractive forever? What happens in 20 years when she is gorgeous with her barbie doll figure and your a fat slob with a big McDonalds belly, bald head and old? If she's still hot because she listened to you all these years she see that she can do so much better than you and dumb your lame ***.

Answer 7

Oh my freaking god. Yes, you're a jerk, an a$$, and a bast*rd. Wtf? I'm sorry, I don't usually tell people off, but I can't help myself. Why is it ok for men to gain weight but not women? You have rabid nazi squirrel logic if you have any! If you are with someone just because of the way they look then you are the worst kind of person there is. Be a man and look into the person you are. You will go no where in life acting like this! I hope you change so you can actually feel love in your life, but I seriously doubt you will. /rant

Answer 8

Yes you where wrong, you should be lucky she stays with you butt, because you do NOT tell your girl, that she can't eat something, because you do not want her to get fat!! What is wrong with you? You should never do that? Most girls have a problem with that subject anyway, why are you feeding that?
Let her eat a burger and some fries, she will not get fat from one lousy burger and some stupid fries! She will get fat if she keep eating that junk, if she eats it every day.
I eat that stuff a lot and I did not get fat, but if you where my boyfriend, and you would tell me not to eat that stuff, because you do not want me to get fat, I would dump you.
Treat her like a person, not like your little barbie doll, because she is not, and it's just very degrading, don't do that to her! You are suppose to love her and not only because she is very thin, but because you love her soul.
If my lover would ever day something like that to me, I would be really hurt by him. THINK NEXT TIME...

Good luck.

Answer 9

wow, ur a jerk. but i eat like she does and i just had a baby and im only 132 pounds. women can eat like men and still be trim. they just gotta work out and btw if ur a fat boi, dont expect to keep ur thin pretty "barbie" gurl because aint no way ur getting on top of her being 2 times her size. and do u really think she didnt eat that stuff b4 she got with u? because she prolly did. u need to let her do wat she wants, its not like she'll go over board and become a fatazz. and gurls have just as fast of a metabolism as guys do, its not like because we're women we get fat from a burger and fries. and olive garden sux!! i say u should take her somewhere really nice, not a cheap place like olive garden. and id be suprized if ur even still with this chick

Answer 10

You are wrong in a number of ways where do I start, OK:
1. The only person whose eating habits you should be controlling are yours.
2. She is not your "little barbie", she is a human being with rights.
3. If you love her you would not be inflicting this kind of emotional abuse on her and you probably would not care what she looked like either. Are you sure you love her the person or her the body?
Her friend is right.

Answer 11

LOL...Sorry to say this because you are being honest and open about the whole situation but you are definitely wrong...sometimes I like to have a big burger every once in a while and I wouldn't like it if my boyfriend would comment on that, but of course there must be balance to everything that we intake. If she eats healthy (Olive Garden) and at times wants to eat heavy its cool as long as there is a balance. But don't beat yourself up about it, that's just how we women are. Try to reinforcing that you both should have balanced and healthy lifestyles...including eating habits too..Good Luck ;)
