Food > Love: 48 Reasons Why I'd Rather You Feed Me Than Flirt With Me

We've all heard the saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I'm not sure why females were excluded from the receiving end of this saying -- I really couldn't care less about what a man is eating.

I mean, I'm much more concerned about my next meal, and while I'm eating that meal, I'm just thinking of what to snack on next.

Whoever came up with this phrase must have been unfamiliar with Shake Shack and every other restaurant under the sun that females can't get enough of.

Some girls may say they want flowers, but deep down, all we want is a big ass bowl of macaroni and cheese that we don't have to prepare or clean up ourselves.

Is there anything better than having someone cater each meal to you? Isn't it much more important to have someone in your life who understands how important eating is to you than anything else?

I couldn't care less if you remember my birthday, just as long as you're preparing my meals every damn day. Sure, that may sound bratty -- and I'd probably kick your ass if you forgot my birthday -- but if it means letting you off the hook for certain things, isn't it worth it?

I think you get my point. At least I hope so.
