Why you do you want to change him? Maybe he doesn't want to change. You can't make someone change their tastes in food. Take it from a picky eater who is the child of an enormously picky eater father. I've branched out in my own time.

Just shame him in public when he orders. Eventually he'll become anorexic.

Only try to change his eating habits if you wanna scare him off. Seriously, if you start trying to change this about him, he's going to freak out and think that you're going to want to change more things later on in the relationship and will eventually bolt.

Wait, isn't this Mr. Tau... I don't think he's going to bolt

The only solution is make the meals and only the meals. I was another kid raised by a picky father (and a mom who TRIED to get me to eat green things) and I don't eat veggies because he didn't.

Some guys might think that if you're trying to change their eating habits now, then later on you're going to try to change things like haircut, clothes, friends, etc. Not all guys feel this way obviously, but some do.

They're not married. That's why I suggest she err on the side of caution. Once they're married however, it's a whole other ballgame.

So I told my girl she needed to lose three pounds so she could get to 110 and she got pretty upset about it. I told her I was looking for a breeder and all.

I think she's just too sensitive at times.


lol, seriously though my girlfriend eats better than I do. I workout often but I eat like crap and I really want to change that.

Hey wait, I have an idea. Tell him you don't want the, um, byproducts of unhealthy food when you, um, you know. That's how I've been turning guys into vegetarians since 1993.

JUST KIDDING.

I had another idea! Plate sharing at restaurants. Both of you order something with plans to share. That way maybe he only tries a bite, but he should at least be able to try that!

You're all pretty gay.

I agree with adpiucf though. I publicly shame any girl I'm with if her body shows more than skin or bone.

Seriously,

So my husband likes meals all done up with gourmet flair like his momma... Dayum momma's boy...

Anyhow, when I cook him his breakfast, I add a teaspoon of flaxseed oil to his eggs before I scramble them, along with a dash of cayenne pepper, wasabi powder and garlic because it is suppose to alleviate sinus allergies...

Then I make him drink a mixture of orange juice and pineapple juice in the morning when he has his beverage. Otherwise, I will hear him snorting all through the day... That boy does not know how to just be so quiet that no one can hear you...

I cannot feed him my type of diet, vegetarian--almost vegan, cuz well, my husband gets too musical at rest... He just toots and toots...
