Poll: Help me settle this.

[Hawgh]

It's food. It goes in da bellay.

EDIT: never in my life would I imagine that I might experience too much innuendo, but I gotta say that I'm starting to feel a little stuffed here.

Stretched, even.

It just keeps on coming and coming and coming, the entire place is covered with it.

 

[FalloutJack]

Yes, it is perfectly fine for a guy to eat salads.

It is NOT okay, however, if you happen to hate salads. But if you do, that's fine.

 

[WaReloaded]

It's perfectly acceptable, a well made Greek Salad is probably my second favourite food.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Apparently, I'm in the minority: salads are not food, they're a side dish. I wouldn't say you shouldn't eat them because you're a man, but I would definitely say you have a vagina because you choose that over something far better that actually involves something filling.

If you were a close friend and you ordered a salad, I would rip the piss out of you. Salads just aren't something worth spending money on. This is merely personal preference though.

 

[Zantos]

Yes, but only if it involves meat. And the dressing is purely wine or cider vinegar and pepper. And if you do it shirtless.

 

[natster43]

Yeah, why not? I am not a fan, but it doesn't mean other men can't like their salads.

 

[Mosesj]

I enjoy a good salad, however my girlfriend tells me It's weird and not masculine, It's been going on for a while now, so once and for all help us decide!

tell your girlfriend to f off, men can have their salads. It's actually more manly to have food that's not in my opinion

 

[Laser Priest]

Tell your girlfriend to go eat a salad.

Salads are fucking delicious when made well. As a man and an omnivore, you shouldn't be questioned for what you eat.

Tell your girlfriend that if she wants to live in the previous century she should get back into the flipping kitchen and keep that mouth shut unless you put something in it.

I can't put it much better than this.

 

[tomservo4prezident]

manbags are all the rage,

No they are not (at least in the US). A male character with a manbag is still an acceptable target for mockery on any TV show.

Not that I think that's a travesty, they do look stupid.

Straight-up murses are mocked, but things like messenger bags are getting more and more popular with guys.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

You serious? We're going sexist about food now?

Eat what you want, bro, it's your stomach, is it not?

 

[martin's a madman]

Your girlfriend sounds like an idiot.

People have been eating plants longer than they have been eating meat.

She's right. Prostate cancer is manly, eating salad is not...

Do me a favor, smack your ignorant girlfriend next time she spouts off about it. Salad is good for you. Eating excessive amounts of protein is not.

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

It´s totally okay to eat a salad. In fact, more and more people should eat one once in a while.

When she next has a burger or meat just say "that's very manly of you" or "well, it's not very feminine for you to be out the kitchen". If she wants to live in a "men being men and women being women" world let her have it but I think Bil Burr says it best. (after the marriage bit)


Would she rather have you sat with a beer and packet of crisps, hands down your pants watching the game? Or staying in shape and not being a slob?

This is why couples argue, people saying crazy things like this. It's like IRL flame bait.

I swear to god, I just spent 30 mins of my life looking for that vid, you better watch it! Honestly, sitting watching material I heard just the other day all over again to find that one little quote.

 

[Mimssy]

Psh, I say eat the damn veggies. It's better than going without. Maybe it'll be super manly if you tear up the lettuce in front of the tomato and let it know that it is next to die.

True, but it sucks nonetheless. Those things would be totally convenient!

OP: Salads are awesome.

 

[Adrian Neyland]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize there is any social stigma on men eating salads.
I still highly doubt there is, this question has left me absolutely speechless. I mean WHAT?

 

[asam92]

Your GF is weird.

I Love Ceaser Salad, especially with Roast Chicken and Avocado in it.

 

[Fingers O'Toole]

Simple resolution:
Be totally sexist in retaliation; complain that eating meat makes her look butch and treat her like a dude (i.e. dead legs, fighting to settle arguments, ect). When she complains, agree to form a truce on the condition that she stops with the double standard chicks complain about/adore. Repeat if necessary.

 

[Zaverexus]

That's incredibly idiotic, salads are great and I've never heard someone outright say they are feminine. Grab some ranch and keep it up, better than being obese.
