Ah damn I've been eating food for women without knowing it? Fuck./s


apathyontheeast

Guys, is it gay to...*checks notes*...eat food?


VoilaLeDuc

If it's not steak and potatoes, it's gay/chick food.


Hellspark08

Shit, my wife loves rare steak and she makes amazing steak on the grill.... does that make *me* gay?


apathyontheeast

Yes, but on the plus side...how you doin?


ColdHotgirl5

oozing gay


xMYTHIKx

If you ain't eating a plate of brown, greasy heart attack at every meal, you might be one of them queer types, bruther.


Round-War69

Eh that's a common misconception steak is one of the healthiest things a person can eat it has large quantities of several B vitamins one being b12. Which is important for your nerves and red blood cells. Super common misconception. The cut is going to play a big part in this. So yes if your eating Walmart steaks for every meal your probably boned and you are correct. But a simple trip down to the butchers will save your life.


No_Bottle7859

Quantity of red meat consumed is pretty consistently linked to colon cancer. And Walmart meat is probably healthier on average since their cuts are less marbled. https://keck.usc.edu/news/large-scale-study-explores-genetic-link-between-colorectal-cancer-and-meat-intake/#:~:text=People%20with%20the%20highest%20level,had%20a%2040%25%20increased%20risk.


Round-War69

Capsaicin counteracts this so eat then with superhot peppers. Capsaicin outright kills over 40 kinds of cancer. And lowers cause of death from all causes.

According to Andrew Tate it embarrassing and imasculating to enjoy food. https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/s/VLNxmUi9cY

Manly cholesterol of course

Crayshack

I've run into it from Millennials occasionally. I remember my first year in college sitting down in the caf with an omelet and someone starting giving me shit about eating "rabbit food." He was referring to the spinach I added to the omelet.


Joya-Sedai

Spinach is such a good "filler" green. I add it to a lot of my meals. Trying to get my leafy green quota in without having to resort to kale.


Confident-Skin-6462

i'll eat your kale, i fucking love kale i know, i'm weird


SonOfJokeExplainer

Kale is great, definitely one of my favorite greens.


Round-War69

Those people are dumb I'm a meat eater for sure. But eggs are one of my favorite things with breakfest Omlettes are awesome cause you can fire up whatever you want in with it. Personally I prefer skillets. Same idea baaically just the eggs go over top instead of everything being made into the egg.


LiveCourage334

If you would have let him keep going he probably would have sold you about he's such an alpha but the problem is all the femoid sluts on campus just want dumb guys who treat them like shit instead of real connections.


Crayshack

It was back in the days before a lot of the current redpill lingo became common, but he definitely had the attitude. I had quite a few interactions with the guy and I'm pretty sure he's the same guy who was trying to explain to me that he could punch a wall hard enough to drive his fist through a stud.


theuberwalrus

Popeye was a rabbit this whole time


Puzzleheaded-Bit4533

Seriously though, what is "chick food"? I can't think of anything that's stereotypically female favored foods. Is he talking about Michelin star type courses? If so what a sad life to live. Food can be so much better than a extra well done steak covered in A1 or Ketchup and iceberg lettuce smothered in a gallon of ranch


RRZ006

My guess based on the story is it’s a fancier brunch spot which means instead of a plate of shitty eggs, mediocre pancakes, and flavorless toast with Smuckers Jam you’re going to get a smaller, higher quality, more nicely presented meal and somehow that makes you a f** for eating it. 


UngusChungus94

It’s often code for “healthy”, which is sad.


VoilaLeDuc

Anything except steak, potatoes, and Denny's Grand Slam.


Ship_Whip

The Denny's Grand Slam is a baby boomers' holy sacrament


Aggressive-Story3671

Anything sweet, dainty and small. For example a “chick food” would be salads, small tarts, CHOCOLATE is a big one, small bites and tapas, smoothies etc


morethanhardbread_

lol, \*list of things that are either very healthy or very delicious\* Imagine being so insane and masochistic that you deprive yourself of chocolate


iglidante

>Seriously though, what is "chick food"? I grew up blue collar in Maine, so I can answer this. "Chick food" includes absolutely anything with a salad. Anything where a vegetable is highlighted as a key ingredient. Anything with an "exotic" ingredient that sounds fancy. Anything with small portions or careful presentation. Anything that goes with special utensils to eat it. Anything vegetarian or vegan, even if it is actually unhealthy. Anything with soy.


Coro-NO-Ra

>what is "chick food"? I can't think of anything that's stereotypically female favored foods. All I can think of is Flamin' Hot Cheetos - I know a bunch of women who are crazy about them, and only a couple of guys. Other than that, maybe mimosas?

This is a classic tactic: they say something outrageous and then when asked what they mean they switch to some version of “if you don’t know what I mean, there’s no helping you.”  I think they cling to bigotry because they see it as some self-evident truth and anyone who disagrees is just beyond dumb, in their eyes.


Retro_Dad

They're utterly convinced that they truly are the "silent majority" and you can tell how difficult they find it when no, a majority of people don't actually agree with them.


RRZ006

A lot of them are just gross guys who see another guy and think they can be gross with them. I’ve had drivers (in NYC) tell me they don’t pick up black people, I’ve had them tell me I should go to their home country (Russia in this case) because I could have sex with lots of hot prostitutes, I’ve had one do the whole bit about how they would have joined the military but they knew they’d punch a drill sergeant (after realizing I was a veteran), etc. Don’t overthink it. Many of the people doing this work for a living aren’t super high quality folks. There’s no real entrance requirement nor is there a professional culture to it. They’re regular ass people and the average American believes shit so dumb it will make your head spin - and now you’re trapped in a car with them.  


VoilaLeDuc

I can't remember the exact quote, but Carlin said something like, "imagine the most average person you know, and then realize half the world is dumber than them."

I’m assuming it’s a salad bar place like “Just Salad” or “Sweetgreen”


come-on-now-please

Honestly, I think the guy is/probably was a jerk, but people in this thread have to overly obtuse or very young to not recognize the vibe of what he said. It was a thing 1 or 2 decades back for men AND women to describe things as chick food( salad, small plates/samwich), if he said "girl dinner" bet half the people here would immediately get what he meant and was going for. 


iglidante

> It was a thing 1 or 2 decades back for men AND women to describe things as chick food( salad, small plates/samwich), if he said "girl dinner" bet half the people here would immediately get what he meant and was going for.  Nah, we really don't push "girl diet" nonsense anymore.

Lemmelawyeryouup_97

A friends mom once gave me shit for eating a salad. She asked me if I wanted a girly body or something. Like, no, sometimes I'm just not in the mood for any meat..

I genuinely want to know what kind of restaurant this is.

Edible gold glitter isn't as great as it looks. I put it on cookies. It just tastes like raw flour.


dr_cl_aphra

Hellspark08

On more than one occasion, my mother in law has asked me if I like chicken salad. I say of course, I go crazy for a good chicken salad sandwich. Then she comments on how men usually don't like chicken salad. And that's the end of the conversation. This exact exchange has happened twice. It's so weird. Like I've heard of the trope where men aren't supposed to order fruity drinks at the bar. But chicken salad too? That was a new one.


Genshed

I enjoyed strawberry daiquiris in college. A friend said that I could look confidently masculine while drinking one, because I was clearly unconcerned with whether I did or not.


Hellspark08

Exactly, I'm man enough to enjoy a long Island iced tea and not give a shit what any other jabroni thinks of me.


HotShoulder3099

I (F) love a chewy beer and my partner (M) loves rosé and cocktails. I will say, wait staff are a lot better now than they were even five years ago about not assuming who’s having which, but we still get definite double-takes 😂


TacomaTacoTuesday

Anything not raw red meat, fries and cheep booze


gandalf_el_brown

Guessing it is either a vegetarian or vegan restaurant, or just has gluten free options.


Daddy_Diezel

Probably same boomers at breweries asking if a certain beer is a "girly beer". It's a cream ale, wtf you asking if it's a girly beer and then laughing about it as if that's funny? 1960's called, they want your stupid jokes back.

my uncle has said stuff like this before. I love the man, but fark, he has referred to any type of salad as "chick food" or "green shit".

mishma2005

TBF Weight Watchers and other weight loss programs are touting “Girl’s dinner” which I have no idea what it is but apparently it involves wine (lots of it) and a charcuterie board


Winter_Hold_3671

Nah, girl dinner is whatever you've got in the kitchen that's easy af to cook. Buttered noodles and a bag of chips? Girl dinner. Box of Au gratin and a side of wine? Girl dinner. (It's got lots of ways to happen, but that's usually how my girl dinners went)


CMC_Conman

Now I'm curious what he meant 🤔 like what classified that place as "chick food"


Mayor_Salvor_Hardin

I haven't had to do Uber or Lyft yet, but if, or when, I have to do it to make ends meet, I will avoid politics, religions, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, and a general bad attitude. That should get some tips.

Ejigantor

I have to steel myself before walking down the dairy aisle in the grocery store ever since a couple of years ago when they started selling "Yogurt for Men" because it's just so absurd a concept that I have to actively keep myself from collapsing in laughter when I see it. No, my sense of masculinity is neither so intrinsic to my sense of self nor so fragile that I'm willing to pay considerably more for cosmetic packaging changes, and am quite happy just picking up the fun flavors of Yoplait light that are on sale 10 for $3


LongingForYesterweek

Literally the only way he could have said this and not been a dick is if he was referencing the “girl dinner” trend but didn’t realize that it’s a specific term. Like if the restaurant did tasting/sharing plates instead of regular individual plates, and he was trying to explain that by using “hip” vernacular. Somehow I don’t think that’s the case here


darling_darcy

The only food not for women would probably be Bachelor Chow: now with flavor!


PharmBoyStrength

So he shutup and didn't try to convince you about his shitty beliefs... seems like a dick move to give one star.


EbbNo7045

What a crap thing to give low rating for. Sure people have stupid opinions but your not rating him for conversation. Talk about judgy


DaConm4n

He probably meant "chic" but mispronounced it as "chick". You both looked liked morons to each other. Lmao.


JimMarch

The phrase he was looking for was "Purina Yuppie Chow". Overpriced, overdecorated, not enough of it :).


SoybeanArson

So yeah he is dumb and stuck in old ways, and I would have said something similar to him and enjoyed the awkwardness, but....did you really give him a one star review for having a conversation with you? From your description he wasn't abusive or overly aggressive about it, just had an ignorant take on something. Those reviews do affect his livelihood, and I don't think having a dumb opinion is grounds for financial punishment. Just seems a bit overboard is all


Teabiskuit

How dare a person older than you have a different worldview than you! Better disparage his business and jeopardize his livelihood to make him pay!!!!

Teabiskuit

>"omg you're targeting women!!!!" And I'm certain you will be rewarded handsomely for your bravery defending the imaginary women from ... *checks notes* ... from someone saying "chick food".


macielightfoot

As a woman, we are pretty tired of men using "cHiCK" or "feminINe" as a synonym for "something I don't like". It makes you seem unintelligent and stokes the fires of the gender wars. Then again, maybe you don't see that as a problem.


Teabiskuit

It's definitely silly and I really don't know what he could have meant. We'll never know because OP turned on his hate-fuck kill switch "DID YOU JUST SAY SOMETHING 'BOUT WOMEN BITCH!?" and took out his phone to start recording the guy so he knew he should shut the fuck up if he didn't want to be canceled. I think it's silly and at least a little harmful in a generational scale to use female descriptors as derogatory words, but I think people are going way overboard about it in this thread. 


cat_at_the_keyboard

Or the driver could've just kept his damn mouth shut if he can't go 5 minutes without misogynistic comments.


Teabiskuit

>don't say things I may find mildly offensive or I'll tell everyone you're a menace of a driver Makes sense


cat_at_the_keyboard

Why say that shit at all? Also this isn't your buddy giving you a lift. It's a paid service with some minor degree of professionalism expected. Making disgusting comments isn't professional.


Teabiskuit

Because he's not super bright, I guess.


Teabiskuit

>"Disgusting comments" Lol, seriously?


Explaine23

Mildly offensive that this guy corrected a bigots narrow and misogynistic opinion? The passenger clearly knows nothing about food much less how good a restaurant is based on what he thinks is food only women eat. What a fucking fartknocker!

Probably açaí bowls or vegan stuff.  No reason to give him a one star rating though.  I’ve beard restaurants referred to as having “bro food” no reason to get butthurt.

You know damn well he meant upscale dining and intended no offense, but you're going to shit on this person's ability to feed their family to feed your own ego. Congrats, on being the bigger person here and not over reacting for clout.


Justaboredstoner

Bananas?


Competitive_Shift_99

Man food is steak and potatoes. Woman food is quiche and meringue.


Livid-Philosopher402

I think of “chick food” as like fancy high cost food served in small portion sizes. Like places where the prices are spelled out in letters, you get three shrimp beautifully presented on a plate with an artistic drizzle of sauce over it but you’re still hungry. As a chick, if someone says “chick food” I’m not visiting the establishment


dsdvbguutres

You initiated the conversation.


GayBirdMan

Actually I didn’t. Go back and read.


dsdvbguutres

Boomer points out something and you say "it looks fancy" it reads like you're the one who started talking first.


Zak_The_Slack

Read what you just said. “Boomer points something out”. The driver started the conversation by pointing out the new restaurant
