Do you “Mmm” when you eat?

I’ve been “Mmming” while eating and it’s cost me dates. Anbody else “Mmm” while they eat?

Can't stand people who do foodgasm gestures/sounds.

If you like your food and must announce it, just say "this is delicious". No need to grunt/moan/mmm.

[quote]For soup served in larger bowls — often containing noodles such as ramen, soba and udon — use the spoon provided for the broth. When eating the noodles, slurp away! Loud slurping may be rude in the U.S., but in Japan it is considered rude not to slurp. Oh, and don't forget to use your chopsticks to get the noodles into your mouth.

I dated a guy for about six months. He hummed whenever he ate anything. Fucking drove me nuts. He also spun his ankles (one at a time) in circles any time he was seated. These things drove me to dump him, not the bloody, prickly back after the weekly waxings, or even when he threw up chicken parmigiana on my linen sheets after I came in his mouth.

I once had a neighbor who was dealing drugs. He got busted quickly and went to jail, so his apartment was left abandoned and his siamese cat was trapped it with no food. After he got hungry enough, he let us neighbors know he was in there by screaming loud and constantly. I broke in and kept him. I immediately gave him canned food, and I've never in my life heard anything like it, he mmmm mmmm'd very loudly through the whole meal. It was both hilarious and poignant all at once.

So, I just got back from a date I had with an awesome guy and we had Capriotti's. Nice place. My date was so cute, the cutest guy I’ve ever been with. I’m heavy set and he likes bigger guys. But, he’s was incredibly sweet. But, honestly, I am obese, people stare.

I had “The Bobbie” a turkey, stuffing, cranberry sandwich. I had the 20in. sub. This sandwich was so good and I really tried to keep my Mmming in check, but I mmm’d a little, like a little one slipped by. He stopped eating and looked at me funny. I played it off like nothing. So, we kept eating and chatting. We both watch The Punisher. But, damn that sandwich was so good, I mmm’d big time. He asked if I made sounds while eating and I said I did. So, because I came out as an Mmmer, I just started Mmmming. He left, but he was sweet about it. He’s said he’s not into that, that’s weird though, he’s bigger guys but not into eating habits? But, anyway, silver-lining, I met another guy when my date left. He sat down and chatted with me. He’s in his 50s/60s, but he’s was way into me, and my eating style. So, we have a date Friday! I’ll keep you guys posted.

Chewing noises bothered me even when was a child. My stepmother's mother wore dentures. When she bit down, I could hear the sound of her molars meeting. I would ask to be excused as soon as possible.

At a charity event, volunteers were provided lunch. I was sitting across from a woman who grunted and snorted as she ate. She was small and lean. The noises were so vile I lost my appetite, so I gave up and went back to working.

Hey y’all. Back for another post. So, I just got from a date with a gentleman who likes bigger guys and weordered Jack in the Box off of GrubHub, they deliver. So, I ordered the Big Box Breakfast. I got mini-pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, french toast, hashbrown sticks, potatoes and gravy, along with a large Caramel Iced Coffee, which was thick and delicious. I “mmm”’d by accident eating the potatoes because they were so good, and I wanted to keep my mmming on the low because guy’s have literally walked out on our date, so I needed to check the mmm’ing. But, to my surprise, he really liked it—he actually loved it and felt it was very sexy. So, we actually forgo’d (sp?) the idle chit-chat and he just listened to me “mmm” throughout the entire meal. He wants to see me again and next time get Chinese. He wants to watch me eat egg rolls. So, we’ll see. Looking forward to seeing him again.

This is simply insane and repulsive. One can enjoy their food, think about it, and conceptualizen it without talking to yourself about it, while simultaneously asking your company not to interrupt the conversation that you’re having with yourself, in the form of verbal orgasams of “mmmm”.

If anyone said anything like the above to me, I might stick around to quiz the human car-wreck as to how it was possible for him to get it so very, very, wrong; or I might immediately just leave. My first reaction would have been “Your kidding, right?” Most likely, I’d have already figured out my “date” was crazy and never agreed to meet in the first place.

Social norms exist for a reason, OP. Flout then and be ostracized.

by Anonymousreply 98January 12, 2018 12:26 PM

Frankly, both sides of this debate are insane.

Anyone who needs to "conceptualize" his food, not talk, and make weird noises while eating has a screw loose. And anyone who gets so bent out of shape about someone who does this is just as bad and has some issues, as well.

As far as single-issuer deal breakers go, making mmmm noises while eating is pretty low on the list relative to something like bad personal hygiene or a person that has such strong opinions that probably extend far beyond table manners and would make them unbearable.
