You really know what I don't get?

Why do girls feel awkward about eating in front of guys? I've never felt that way, and I just can't wrap my head around it. Granted, by people that know me, I'm considered part man because of the way I act, but I have never found eating awkward.

I mean, do the girls think that guys don't realize that females actually eat as well?

Anyone have an explanation?

I don't get it either, some of my friends don't like eating in front of guys.
Once I asked one of them why they didn't and they said something like "it's not very lady-like", so,apparetly, eating is not very 'lady-like'. And they also said something about looking like pigs. Also she's always worrying about having food on her face or in her teeth. They're probably just trying to impress the guys.

idk?

It may be that they're somehow uncomfortable with their bodies.

Some girls feel self-conscious about eating in front of people. I can get that way sometimes, worrying that they're watching me eat or that there's something on my face or in my teeth and I don't realize it.

It may be that they're somehow uncomfortable with their bodies.

Agreed. A lot of girls are very self-conscious and are afriad that other people will see them as "fat" or "greedy" for eating, or that it will draw attention towards their weight.

I don't usually have this problem since I've never really cared about another person's opinion of me.

Its the same reason you wouldnt wanna be with your family around your crush. It can be embaressing. Most girls (and some guys) refrain from things that make them comfortable to a setting that may seem uncivilized because they wanna impress their crush or date because they wanna show how posed, kind, smart and civilized they are to catch their attention for the right reasons. Also alot of people refrain from eating things that dont leave a sweet scent in their mouth so their date will wanna kiss them more. (which is why alot of people eat small and sweet things before a date I.E. candy, gum, ice cream)
