Men Eat Twice As Much Dining With Women, Study Shows

BOSTON (CBS) — How much food a man eats depends on whom he’s dining with. A recent study out of Cornell University found that when men dine with women, they eat almost twice as much as when they eat with men. The thought is that men overeat in front of women to show their masculinity and fitness and perhaps to try to enhance their attractiveness to females. On the other hand, the women in the study did not eat more or less depending on their lunch date.
