Because it genuinely is only men in my experience who do this.
You have a bowl of some kind of snack food: crisps/nuts etc.
They attack it like it’s the first meal they’ve had in a week. Just eat steadily through them until they’re gone (about 5 minutes or so)
What’s wrong with eating them a bit more casually. So they last through a film for example? It makes me feel like if I want to have anything approaching an equal amount I have to compete and eat fast too.
Yeah we could have separate bowls but it annoys me that there should be a need, I find it uncivilised.
Perhaps it's because I’m French and in the evening we have the crispy things with the apéritif, everyone eats a couple and we close the box and there are still some left for the next time.
My DP has just devoured a big bag of Doritos in the time than it took me to go and get a drink. He is not starving, there was no shortage of dinner. And all my previous partners and male friends have been the same!
AIBU?
