What is that all about?

Why are yoghurts pushed a "women's food"? Confused

Never have I ever seen Aman eating a yoghurt in a yoghurt ad Confused

To be fair I’m male and I have never eaten yoghurt!

I don’t watch live TV so I sadly miss out on the joys of crap adverts.

My DH can't peal the lid off easily, so stabs it with a knife.

I no longer buy yoghurt as I'm sick of wiping up the wreckage from the worktop.

Men never have problems it’s their gums, constipation or diarrhoea either.
Not in casa serenity...

Men never suffer incontinence either, purely another female thing. However there are male incontinence products in my local chemist. How on earth will the poor loves know how to avoid damp patches without an advert?

And only women eat chocolate and ice cream, Magnums in particular.
And Flakes. In a seductive manner too.

I knew I’d seen something about this somewhere.

I don’t like yoghurt and watch sport. I am doomed. Dd is doomed. All those children laughing and pointing at her “ your mum drinks beer” arrrrrgh what have I done!?!

@SnugglySnerd

If men are in a household cleaning advert it's usually in a slightly incompetent "oh silly me burning all this food onto the hob, never mind this cleaning product is simple enough for even a useless man like me to use" way.
They aren’t allowed to do that any more!

I did some advertising work for a yoghurt company once - they asked me not to feature any BAME people or men because they don't eat yoghurt Confused

SerenityNowwwww · 01/08/2020 10:26

Are they joking?? It’s a bloody staple in the ME!

Such nonsense!

Maybe if they promoted it to men and BAME, they'd increase their customer base?? Grin

Actually I’m BAME so that must be the reason

Menaimum · 01/08/2020 11:17

Lovelyweek good point about air fresheners - but surely that's because it's only men that make the awful smells? (jk everybody poops!)

noblegiraffe · 01/08/2020 11:17

I had a male friend ask me why women are being advertised yoghurts for bloating all the time.

GracieLane · 01/08/2020 11:21

I'm so sick of yoghurt honestly! Every diet I've ever been on seems to have me eating yoghurt. From full fat Greek to 0% fat natural yogurt to Dairy free yoghurt to muller light. I'm doing intuitive eating now, and yoghurt was the first thing to go from my list. Once upon a time I used to like yoghurt, but dieting has ruined that. I prefer ice cream anyway 🍦🤷🏻‍♀️

Zaphodsotherhead · 01/08/2020 11:26

Have you seen the way most men seem to eat yoghurt IRL?

They mix it round with a spoon until it's liquid and then tip it down their throats.

Nobody needs to see that in an advert...particularly if it's accompanied by the 'orgasm noises' of most yoghurt ads.

Kpo58 · 01/08/2020 11:45

@MysweetAudrina

Exactly, they only enhance the female orgasm not the male one so no point them eating them really.
I'm not sure they could easily do a male yogurt orgasm advert without making them look like a pervert with a yogurt fetish or having just wet themselves... 🤔
Obviouspretzel · 01/08/2020 11:51

I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat a yoghurt like that description in my life.

Apolloanddaphne · 01/08/2020 11:54

My DH is the only person who eats yogurt in this house. He also loves a magnum. Seems odd they wouldn't want to target men. Possibly because they think it is mostly women who do grocery shopping?

NeedToKnow101 · 01/08/2020 11:56

That is a good point. My DS eats Greek yogurt, honey and fruit almost every day. My male DP is partial to yogurt and grains.

noblegiraffe · 01/08/2020 12:47

Is it like men not eating quiche?

Todaywewilldobetter · 01/08/2020 12:51

I'm honestly don't think any grown man in my life has eaten yoghurt. How odd. I'm racking my brains...
