Why do some women cover their mouth while eating? Are they embarrassed? Ashamed? Self conscious?

Here's some asian chick doing that while eating out with her family.
http://youtu.be/EMtoyD6BDTE

I saw another video before of a white girl in a high school cafeteria doing that too. She was covering her mouth and looking all around like she thinks everyone is watching her eat.

I was at a casino buffet once and this woman across from me was sniffing every bite of food before she put it in her mouth and then proceeded to cover her mouth and look around.

I do this a guy, too. I developed it off a girl a few years ago, she said she didn't like people watching her eat, which made sense. I don't go crazy about it, but if my bite is too big for my mouth i tend to let my fork hand hang limply in front of it for a moment.

Girls get taught they should be dainty and pretty, and chewing is none of those things. A lot of girls are actually embarrassed about being seen eating, on some kind of subconscious weird level, considering how much pressure there is to be skinny.

some people do it to hide less then perfect teeth, andr grow big bushy mustashes.or some ladies act fawning, and some you don't know. like me. last week i shattered s last upper wisdom tooth. .and always been "buck tooth". like a mule eating brirs through a chin link fence. and dont feel bad. and it is the culture in some places. demure, etc.. not around here. we revere moms and grandmas, but otherwise you best speak up, or get trampled. this is 2013. not 1965. i don't wanna in your face, but i dont want a servant either. just a . somebody put up with me. cuase i got plenty of faults. and if your teeth ain't perfect, i mean really bad... mine ain so great. maybe a crude 'merrican. but i dislike that. simpering . and if too fat,only one can change that, guess who?. try

one of my housemates is the noisiest eater ever. he smacks his lips constantly and i cringe myself half to death if he ever eats in the same room as me.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but the reason asian women cover their mouths when eating, laughing, smiling etc is because it used to be considered bad manners to show their teeth.

It's a holdover from feudal eras.

Because women are retarded.

a girl i know eats apples inside her shirt. no other food, just apples. she has some bizarre reason for it but im pretty sure she just does it because she doesnt want people to see her eating. ill cover my mouth when eating if i need to reply quickly, otherwise i just swallow then reply

eating an apple in your shirt draws way more attention to yourself than just eating an apple normally

i know. shes also a bit of an attention seeker, so it could be that. i think her reasoning for doing it was because 'i dont like people breathing on my food!' which is easily solved by taking a step back from who youre talking to. god damn.

People usually cover their mouth when they need to talk in the middle of a bite.

That's the only time I ever see people of either gender do it.

I once got nervous about carrying a big pack of toilet paper home from the shops. But then I realised that everyone except for those with particular health conditions or extenuating circumstances shits at least once a day, or at least multiple times a week.

Your mother and father shit. Your siblings (if you have any) shit. If you have a bf/gf or husband/wife, they shit.

More than that! Most people will have something go wrong with their shits at least once in their lifetimes. That pretty girl you like to see who works at your local coffee shop or place of work? She has probably had to deal with one of the greasiest, foul-smelling turds ever after a night of drinking and debauchery. The kind where even after ten attempts at wiping, you won't feel clean until maybe you have a shower or something.

So why should I care that people are going to see me carrying the thing I use to wipe shit from my butt? I'm not going to be using it in public.

Pretty much. I have a little fan on my desk I keep close by that I use exclusively for setting by my noodle bowl.

Though I think a bowl mounted solution would be better. On the chopsticks seems a little cumbersome.

I'm not neurotic enough to cover my mouth, but whenever I'm eating with a girl who isn't a family member, I eat very slowly because I don't want to make a lot of noise while eating. Usually this means I never finish my meal and have to get it wrapped up. Good thing I rarely eat with women.

Its only in the last centuries that people started to give up their strong desire for privacy. Food was consumed in private because motherfuckers would take it away from you or raid your stash.
