The results are in, and it's official. Women think about food more than sex. But it's not always cravings that they’re considering.
In a recent survey of 5,000 people, men disproved the old adage that the way to their hearts is through their stomachs with 36 percent saying they think about sex every half hour. (We knew that, right?) Only ten percent of women say they think about sex that often. Much more often, they’re fretting over their diets.
Forty percent of women say they're uncomfortable undressing in front of their partner and more than 60 percent would prefer not to eat in front of them. Add to that the 25 percent who said they think about food every half hour, and one starts to wonder if the people complaining about how the media affects society's collective perception of beauty aren't off the mark just a little bit. Nutritionist and behavioral therapist Mary Strugar was quoted as saying that “people need to face-up to their vulnerabilities.”
Thirteen percent of women say they order low-cal options when they're eating out; fifteen percent say they eat junk food in private; and ten percent say they lie about it. So it would seem what’s really under scrutiny is what women are eating. So long as the perception is that we're eating right, who cares what we look like? Two steps forward, one step back.
