sloppy, neatly, devouring it, or just absently picking at it...VERY wise words from an old friend

Do you agree or can add any pearls of wisdom about choosing a potential man.....?

in front of the tv?

erm...

Fanella · 06/06/2008 16:48

In a really bad mood beforehand...all dippy and happy afterwards.

Iklboo · 06/06/2008 16:48

Erm...in the car? (he's a driving instructor)

Obviously enjoing it?

fullmoonfiend · 06/06/2008 16:49

er mine licks the plate clean - if no-one is looking

multitasker · 06/06/2008 16:50

ohh - I've got a plate licker too. Those wise words are spot on

Watch the way his father treats his mother, as this is the way he will be treating you after you have children.

Men who 'warn' you about "Oh I am such a bastard!" are not being cute to reel you in. They are bastards, they are warning you so they can say "I warned you" when they leave you in a pool of tears.

A man who has hit you will hit you again. Even if he doesn't, you will always wonder if he will, and it will poison the relationship you could have had.

Watch the way a man treats his dog, for this is how he will approach the business of childrearing.

Well my dh eats incredibly quickly. he'll be finished before I've had more than a couple of mouthfuls. Make of that what you will!

loopylou6 · 06/06/2008 17:40

Gotta disagree with this, my DH can eat like a pig and lick his plate, but in bed he ALWAYS puts me first and takes as long as i need and does what i like and NEVER comes untill i have (unless he has an accident )

jingleyjen · 06/06/2008 17:42

I have a dh wo lops the top off a boiled egg and sucks out the middle..

what does that mean?

MamaFormerlyKnownAsGlam · 06/06/2008 17:42

My DP has an enormous appetite . For several months at the start of the relationship I was inadvertently underfeeding him. All rectified now and he has beautiful table manners .

OrmIrian · 06/06/2008 17:43

Dh will tip his plate up to drink the gravy I'm always telling him off for it.

Mhamai · 06/06/2008 17:44

The guy I'm dating now is an Italian chef, he's very passionate about his food, he's very passionate full stop.

fullmoonfiend · 06/06/2008 17:51

I couldn't be doing with a prim and proper picker....

Give me someone with a healthy appetite, whose willing to taste anything and willing to get his hands dirty, as it were.

Freckle · 06/06/2008 18:12

Oh f*ck. I've got a vegetarian .

DoubleBluff · 06/06/2008 18:14

My DH is not fussy.......?

DoubleBluff · 06/06/2008 18:14

I mean he will eat anything!
