I am disgusted at the state of women's diets and health in general. Women, do you see this issue in men?

I work with a bunch of men and yes, a lot of their diets are trash too.

ashpr0ulx · 2026-01-28T13:25:06+00:00

have you never met a blue collar man? a hefty majority survive off energy drinks, gas station food, and cigarettes. surely you don’t believe that health and lifestyle is a gendered thing?

brizia · 2026-01-28T13:25:40+00:00

I can honestly say I do not pay attention to other peoples’ eating habits. What they eat is none of my business.

toasterchild · 2026-01-28T13:23:42+00:00

Most PEOPLE don't obsess about clean eating and intense workouts. If you want a partner like that regardless of gender it's going to be a pretty tight niche.

Most men I know eat less healthy than most women I know, but no it doesn’t “disgust” me. The fact my husband doesn’t like most vegetables annoys me a bit since I would prefer to put said veggies in a lot of dishes, but this very much goes under my “pick your battles” file. It’s just food.

In order for me to feel disgust, it would have to be like a morbidly obese person eating PILES of food in front of me. If you’re feeling disgusted by women enjoying little treats and not breaking a sweat to your standards, I’d say maybe you’re kind of a miserable person or dealing with some orthorexia. A person can be content and overall healthy and also enjoy some treats, life is both too short and too long to get your panties in a knot over that sort of thing.

Since a lot of men can’t or won’t cook, yes

Im always amused at what’s in single men’s fridges and pantries

EmpressJJ · 2026-01-28T13:26:37+00:00

Yes..? Of course I see it in men, isnt it statistically proven that the quantity of obese men is higher than women's? Google says, for Germany 61% of men are overweight, 47% of women. I am unsure how you have not seen that? ^^

Perfect-Reading-761 · 2026-01-28T13:19:29+00:00

My husband and both have a treat at the weekend, makes life enjoyable. Why is having a treat undisciplined?

Emergency-Sell-6713 · 2026-01-28T14:41:09+00:00

If you're talking about chocolate, it's just because there's tons of iron in dark chocolate which is pretty handy when you lose blood every month.

love_in_october · 2026-01-28T15:29:28+00:00

That's just the average lifestyle these days unfortunately. Lots of processed and pre-prepared food and snacks, not enough necessary nutrients, all for convenience and the dopamine rush, and most people don't really exercise any more. Women at least are more likely to know how to cook beyond pot noodle and perhaps make something with vegetables in it. But it's not my life, most I can do is have a partner who can cook and isn't fat.

Obvious_Smoke3633 · 2026-01-28T15:50:11+00:00

Every man I've ever dated ate a ton of junk food and excess calories. I went to college for nutrition and culinary arts. Tbh, sometimes I meet men who literally disgust me with their diets and sheer quantity of food. I hate living with men because they eat absolutely everything in sight. Men typically eat portions 3 times the size of what I eat. That's also why I'll never go 50/50 with a man because I'm never eat 50% of the food. The obsession with meat and disdain for veggies also annoys me. Enjoy colon cancer 😅

toad-wrangler · 2026-01-28T16:49:49+00:00

Trying to convince men I know to eat a balanced diet with enough vitamins, minerals, and fiber is like screaming into a void for me. The women I know eat so well and clean.

ComplexAttitude4Lyfe · 2026-01-28T13:47:02+00:00

I work with guys. They are the ones who bring in donuts quite often. And no, I do not indulge when they do.

So this isn't a gendered thing. It's a "people are obsessed with their pleasure" thing.

My_House_on_Mars · 2026-01-28T16:47:54+00:00

In my experience women do diets and eat healthy while men don't. In general. Maybe there's some guy who eats eggs because he goes to the gym, but that's not very common. Also women cook more than men. Men usually order food which tends to be less healthy, more greasy

Aren't energy drinks pretty popular between men to the point where it's a meme?

jorts-enthusiast · 2026-01-28T19:28:51+00:00

This is pointlessly gendered. Men eat like shit. Women eat like shit. Lots of people don’t eat well these days because none of us have that much free time for preparing and cooking food, let alone the budget for buying high quality, nutritious food for every single meal and every single snack.

ThatBitchA · 2026-01-28T15:16:44+00:00

Wait, women can find food pleasurable now?

Sheesh. Why are y'all so mad when women enjoy themselves? Why do y'all think everyone should be done miserable person with no enjoyment or pleasures in their life?

And yes, men eat terribly too. How many men say they don't like vegetables.

What do you eat in a day OP?

I see it in men too the thing is some people just don't know any better and some are addicted to shit foods. You need to know if this person is willing to make changes and learn or if they are just stuck in their ways and addicted to the gratification of treats.

belongtomee · 2026-01-28T16:53:24+00:00

The women and men I know and am friends with tend to have healthy clean diets. But then again, we are all young, fit, and active people without kids.

I don’t have qualms about other women being fat, if anything it helps me.

But yeah, it’s not just women. I’m appalled so many men haven’t eaten a veg in years or are constantly heating high processed foods.

Disastrous_Agent9307 · 2026-01-28T21:23:32+00:00

Yeah, all the time. Do you know the number of men I've dated whose main source of food and survival was some form of chicken nuggets and French Fries. The amount of soda they drank was frightening. Yes, most people have trashy diets.

Now, on the other hand, hands off my treats. I don't work-out as hard as I do just to bounce a quarter off my ass. I'm also doing it for the candy and the sweet treats and the tato chips. Part of raising healthy kids is teaching them all things in moderation, including moderation. Life is not to be survived, it is to be joyed in.

I should also mention, there's a lot of emerging evidence that sweat isn't necessarily necessary to be healthy assuming you're getting your heart rate in the right range and strengthening muscles. Especially, I should mention for women who have chemical make-ups designed to retain weight, that dump their best health resources monthly, have high probabilities of injury due to how estrogen works, etc. It's actually emerging as healthy for women to be engaged in less high impact work-outs for the majority of their cycle because our bodies are designed to work with, not against that cycle.
