No, the last person I dated was a very picky and boring either and never tried or liked anything. They would just order normal hamburgers with ketchup and mustard or a plain turkey sandwich when going anywhere. It was hard to decide on places we both wanted to eat.

>> No.5723410

These are probably stereotypes but picky eaters often tend to be spoiled and unwilling to compromise or see other's point of view, hence their restriction on food. Such people are a pain to hang out with even when not talking about food.

With that said I have a picky eater friend and we get along rather well, mostly because we've decided I'll cook whatever I want and he'll free to eat it if he want, but I ain't going to cater to his restrictions.

I did date one, it was the worst thing for a while. But whatever, there was no rushing her, as with any journey of discovery, it took time.

She had heaps of hangups about food and was a recovering bulimic. There were relapses.

When she was little she used to eat like a freaking neckbeard, chocolate, noodles, Mac n cheese, pancakes with marmite and whipped cream on top, and then her parents made her do weight watchers. So she started to eat a lot better, but only a very few foods, prepackaged meals and the like. Super duper picky. It was about then that I met her.

She would literally eat about six different meals, and two different snacks, and insisted on drinking diet coke. The same food, every day. Was always really reluctant to try anything new.

We were young, so she moved out of home and in with her then bf. We were fucking so she stayed at mine a lot and ate there too. Gradually introduced her to more and more different food. It was painful.

Eventually we moved in together with two flatmates, and she cooked the same thing every time that it was her turn. Whatever, at least she was trying. One of the other flatmates did the same, the other had about four meals up his sleeve.

So I tried lots and lots of different meals, when it was my night I experimented every time. Gf really liked some things, didn't life others. Some things that she was sure she wouldn't like, she did. I found myself echoing my mother saying "how can you know you don't like it if you haven't tried it?"

It took a long time, years in fact, but by the time we broke up, she wasn't weird about food anymore.

Picky eaters ate people too. The thing is that I was a really picky eater when I was a kid. I was definitely a spoilt brat.

>Picky eaters are people too.

I disagree. To live, to truly be alive, is to grow. To learn and explore, to be a better person than you were yesterday.

Everyone has individual days of stagnation, it happens. But to actively choose to never better yourself. To say "I have experienced everything I intend to experience, and will never learn a new thing." That is just a walking corpse.

Picky eaters are inhuman. They are walking dead men, breathing and consuming resources and demanding time and attention from people who still wish to live.

What I'm saying is it's morally acceptable, if not necessary, to cave in the skull of anyone who won't even try durian.

I would never subject myself to catering for a picky eater. If you have legit issues like allergies and such I can understand and create a dish that won't call you discomfort. However if you're a picky eater for no valid reason you can starve on the streets for all I care. My son was a picky eater when he was a kid despite teaching him about proper nutrition. I starved his ass a few times and he straightened out.

My sister is a picky eater. Regardless of whatever health issues she may have because of it, her eating habits have severely hampered her social life. Whenever we go out to eat it is damn near always a pizza place because the only foods she eats from restaurants are plain cheese pizza and chicken nuggets. She (sort of) tries to eat new foods because she is super embarrassed about how she eats, but she's in her early twenties now and still eats the same shit every day.

I'll usually try to cook to adapt to their tastes because I cook for anyone who comes to my house (my SO says that I'm a manchild enabler), but I still openly make fun of them for being picky babies. I just like for people to be able to enjoy my food so while I hate picky eaters, I still want them to have a good experience.

You can't. It has nothing to do with taste. It's all a mental thing. I have a friend who do not like fish. Raw or cooked but at a wedding, he was scarfing down mango and raw tuna salad on chips.

It depends on the person's allergies, and the setting. I have a non-emergency-room reaction to dairy protein; good friends who I typically eat with know about it, and it's not a big deal. Personally I don't find accommodating limitations like that a problem, if cooking for just a couple people. I don't go to many big group meals, but when I do, it's either a potluck where I can bring something I know I can eat, or I'll eat a bit beforehand and make do with what I can eat.

For people with extreme reactions, you probably won't have to cook for them, because they're not going to want to risk their life on your not making a mistake. I've had two friends like this, one with severe celiac disease, and one with allergies to a lot of different foods (seafoods, tomatoes, etc.). In both cases, if we wanted to eat together, it would be at their homes. Sometimes I'd help cook, but I'd only bring ingredients I was sure were safe (e.g. fresh fruits/veggies). They both brought food with them when going on an afternoon outing where one might normally grab a bite at a restaurant.

>> No.5724138

I consider myself a somewhat picky eater. Fruits are no problem, I like most. Veggies I don't really like raw, but I'll definitely eat them steamed/cooked into the dish. In fact I can't really think of a vegetable I won't eat cooked. I can't stand mayo or ranch. That's about it. Sucks when friends wanna grab sub's, but I usually find something I like.

My two exes were super picky. Then fun thing is that both considered themselves "open" and good food lovers.

The first one, my longest relationship, refused to eat salads. I love salads (usually have one everyday) and there were trips with her that I felt my body literally aching for some joocy tomatoes and crunchy lettuce. She considered herself a "vegetarian", one that does not eat beef but chicken and fish were ok. But literally the worst part of dealing with her wasn't that. She refused to eat onions adn garlic. Raw or cooked. You can imagine it.

The second one was just plain stupid, one day we were talking about sauces -we used to get stoned and talk about cravings- and she said her favourite sauce was Burger King's nacho cheese sauce. After that moment I just couldn't unhear it, and everything she said or did confirmed that I was dating a dumb bimbo. Maybe I'm just as dumb for not seeing it earlier, but god that was a relief.

I am increasingly suspicious that being a picky eater is a symptom of a mental disorder that may have been brought on by an abusive childhood. See the guy who only ever eats cheese pizza.

However, I am not sure that pressuring that person to eat other things solves the problem any more than putting cotton balls in the ears of someone suffering hemoragic fever.

Still, when considering a relationship, look at it as as big a red flag as bitten down finger nails or an unusually child-like voice.

I didn't detect that in the post, they're just sick of having food they're not fond of pushed on them repeatedly for no real reason after they've already declined the offer.

There's any number of reasons to turn down sweets. They could be diabetic/prediabetic, dieting (especially after weight loss when people would be most paranoid to fall off the wagon and go back to old eating habits), or just allergic to whatever's in it. It's not like turning down veggies as a whole because there's really no health reason to do so for the vast majority of people.

I'm saying that people giving them odd looks or assuming pretension for turning down sweets are being very presumptuous given that there are plenty of legitimate reasons to not accept something that serves little to negative nutritional value, let alone simply not enjoying the taste of it.

I just found it strange that you so strongly assumed that the person who made the post feels a sense of superiority in that and harshly judged them for it given that their post doesn't really belie any hint of that, just discomfort in having something they don't enjoy pushed on them.

My nieces are picky eaters. One supposedly doesn't like fish, the other hates onions. I make it a point to feed them good stuff, regardless. As a result they will eat fish and onions on my recommendation, because they trust me to find acceptable versions of the foods they supposedly hate. The older one can't imagine a cabeza taco without onions, and the younger will happily eat the ceviche I make.

This reinforces a belief I have about picky eaters: they really don't hate the foods they claim to. They've just had early experiences with those foods done in a shitty way. I thought I hated eggplant for years, then I realized my first couple encounters with it were done poorly. Cooked properly it's fucking delicious.

It took me three marriages to get it right. But the heart goes out. Plenty olf middle aged women have unbelievably childish relationships with food. For many it seems like a way to assert themselves. If they can convince themselves they're lactose or gluten intolerant they can force the world to pay special attention to them. I believe it's a coping mechanism. Because let's face it, everyone pays special attention to a beautiful teenaged girl, but an average looking woman hitting middle age is practically invisible. Some don't deal with that very well.

Good friend of mine is a severely picky eater. Though he is getting slightly better recently.

It is annoying for us as friends but it's terrible on his wife. She has gotten pretty big because of indulging his 'diet' of only pepperoni pizza, spaghetti with red sauce, fried rice, or plain hamburgers (no vegetables or toppings except ketchup), every night, for eight years.

Whenever we go out with them we have to go somewhere that has those foods, specifically pizza. Usually we end up at a pizza place. The wife meanwhile loves any kind of food. We introduced her to Indian and sushi and various south american stuff that she'd never had because of him.

Also just to head this off, she works full time with overtime, he does not have a job and never has, that is why he cooks and she doesn't. Yes, she could cook anyway. Yes, she probably should.

This is my room mate. He only eats fast food, he gets the same thing every time and our town only has a few places. He's one of those America hating weeaboos, always talking about his good taste in Korean/Japanese food and how "Americans have no taste, 'I' prefer kimchi" in a smug voice with his eyes closed. Yea, he actually does that. Right before driving to get mcdoubles with ketchup.

He's put on about 40 pounds since I moved in. Only leaves the house for fast food, does this 4 times a day. Me and the other dudes living here only eat cooked food, and for the last 6 months or so have completely cut out artificial shit HFCS etc. We're good cooks, and always offer him some but he refuses. Even when we're in the middle of cooking, and tell him that our burgers will done before he even gets to mcdonalds, he still leaves to sit his fat ass in the parking lot to wolf down mcdoubles.

My former roommate openly and almost proudly discussed his being a picky eater, he was also a fat neckbeard sleep apnea weirdo with "self diagnosed aspergers".

He didn't eat anything but boxed mac and cheese, grocery store bakery cookies, pasta, frozen pizza and goldfish crackers and boxed red wine for the entire year we lived together. He spent 30 minutes on the toilet like 2-3 times a day due to his intestines crying at his shitty diet.

Refused to try anything I cooked. The odd few times he did he would make a gagging noise and spit it out into his hand and then throw it away like a fucking toddler.

He constantly made whiny, self-deprecating comments about being fat and smelled horrific and constantly had his fan on and door open to combat his horrible smell. Christ I am glad that lease ended.

I have a friend that basically ruins everyone's fun when we're out to eat because of how damn picky she is.

She absolutely hates almost every kind of spice, seasoning, and sauce that exists. She will not eat anything if it's come into contact with one of the thousands of sauces/spices/seasonings that she hates. She eats everything extremely plain (the only thing she ever gets on sandwiches and burgers is one kind of meat and cheese, absolutely nothing else) and refuses to try anything new.

We toured Germany together, and the tour group took us out to dinner every night. She ate at maybe one or two of the meals they took us to, and even then she only had french fries or mashed potatoes. She refused to even try everything else. She wouldn't even try bratwurst. Sure, the meals weren't always that great, but at least fucking try the food before dismissing it.

I don't understand how someone like her can travel (she travels very often to different countries) when they refuse to eat anything that isn't from a very specific list of shit. She doesn't have any diseases or mental problems, she's just picky as fuck and it's really annoying.

She also refuses to drink anything with even a remote amount of carbonation in it. That's fine, but she feels the need to remind everyone of it constantly, and she also freaks out and won't let it go if she accidentally drinks something carbonated. It's just ridiculous.

I am picky when it comes to meat. I cut away the fat(once it's cooked) and the bloody parts on chicken filets, that shit tastes like cancer.

I can't eat chicken clubs etc, there's so much cartilage I gag if I bite into it.

Can't eat much fish, leaves such a terrible taste for the rest of the day even if it tasted good when I ate it.

Hardly eat vegetables since they are bland and boring, they ruin the rest of the food if mixed together. I like certain vegetables though.

And I don't eat the head of shrimps, cow tongues and weird shit like that obviously.

I married a very picky eater and it's a way bigger problem then I ever would have guessed. I hate her cooking, not because she's a bad cook but she never makes anything interesting. What really bothers me though is going out to eat. We live in a city with sooo many awesome choices for restaurants but I've hardly tried any of them. She ruins the experience every time we go somewhere new anyways. I have to beg and bargain for an hour to get her there, and then she tries to make me feel guilty saying that there's nothing on the menu that she likes and "I told you this wasn't a good place to come". Oh and I constantly have to complain about food to the server for her because she makes so many goddamn special requests and is too chickenshit to say anything when they forget something and I'd rather just say something myself than listen to her sulk the rest of the meal

When my youngest brother was born, my mom literally said she was going to baby him because he was the last kid she was going to have. The only things he will ever eat are french fries, burgers, mac and cheese, or pancakes.

He's almost in high school now and he will literally sit at the table, pout, and refuse to eat whatever food my parents would make if he didn't like the food. He would end up making pop tarts or frozen chicken nuggets if they made something he didn't like.

Before I moved out, we went to a decent Italian restaurant to celebrate. He couldn't find anything he liked on the menu so he sat down and refused to eat anything and was practically on the verge of tears. Dad got sick of it and gave him some money so he could run over to the Hardees a couple blocks away to get whatever he wanted so he would stop ruining the dinner. He came back and ate his burger and fries in the restaurant.

Even though both my parents understand how pathetic he is with how he eats they never do anything about it.

>> No.5731434

Growing up my parents were terrible and never made me try new things, and my diet consisted of bread, cheese, and other dairy only. I was destined to be a picky eater forever.

What changed? I went to college. Peer pressure man. That helped, but then a few years after that I lost the ability to eat (pretty much) and starved to oblivion.

Now I like most things, though for medical reasons I can't eat particularly spicy things. Also vegetables just objectively suck.

They're just fucking disgusting. I love raw carrots, potato, corn, onions and pumpkin/squash when made into risotto or mac n cheese. Anything else is just gross, I can't do it. Especially anything green and leafy, that foul toilet paper is never good. Salads are a piss bowl.

my attitude about food changed a lot after a trip to rural Guatemala. the food there was good but really simple and boring as all hell after having it more then once. eventually i realised that food was purely for sustenance and people just had to eat what was there even if it was boring. my attitude about picky eaters went from "hey it's just preference" to "you're just not hungry enough". personally there are a couple things i dislike (strong fish and raw tomatos mostly) but if i'm served it i eat it without complaining. i couldn't date one, it would be to frustrating.
