Not more emotional, but they are allowed a wider range of emotions.

we are definitely socialised to show a wider range of emotions, yes. it is uneven, and neither gender benefits.

anger is only one emotion. There are many more others and women show and "feel" them more then men.

Conditioned by marketing or by long-term usage during centuries? If marketing, were old aztec people also fooled?

women don't necessarily feel more than men do. they may have been socialised to show their emotions more, or they may have a better vocabulary to describe their feelings in some cases, but that doesn't make them more emotional overall.

both aztec men and women enjoyed chocolate, but in modern day it is supposedly women who become orgasmic over it and not men. even in victorian times there was gender balance. but today, it has become skewed.

The Aztecs (and other Mesoamericans) enjoyed chocolate, but there is no indication they ever regarded it as a drug or even noticed any drug-like effects. It was used as a flavouring for both food and hot drinks, much like a spice (and was valuable for the same reasons spices were in pre-modern civilizations). They did not have sweetened milk chocolate, nor did they ever consume chocolate by itself.

Well I guess we can agree that chocolate is indeed delicious well most of us anyway there are a few that do not like it or are allergic to it. In my opinion it is indeed delicious imagine having a chocolate doughnut filled with chocolate pudding with chocolate frosting on top with chocolate fudge on the side served with chocolate milk with chocolate whipped cream on top, pure heaven!! !

One can always burn off the fat and sugar later by maintaining a high metabolism while enjoying the current blissful taste of pure delicious chocolaty exstacy. :twisted:

Possibly true in terms of range, but I think in terms of actual intensity, I cannot think of any display more dramatic than a rage tantrum. Although women are capable of this as well. Generally not to the same level of intensity, though.

Yeah but Wolf ... you're much closer to perfection than most people (don't take that as an offence, it's a compliment - you're an admirable fellow). Some of us have to expend our willpower on more immediate problems/flaws and don't have so much left over for perfecting our diet by eliminating common foods like fruit and butter.

Thank you, I understand that. It does require a certain amount of discipline to keep a healthy diet but it is in times when we feel most troubled or stressed that we end up eating unhealthily when we should really be eating healthy. For instance, someone that is having an anxious period shouldn't be eating tons of fruit, butter or chocolate, they should be eating calming foods such as pasta or brown rice.

not many people feel comforted from eating pasta or brown rice. it's a psychological thing for them. it's not fixed in stone, of course, but it is about as easy to change as sexual preferences can be (not gender preferences, but preferences like wanting a slim or blonde partner). if a food doesn't make a person feel good, they won't want to eat it in times of stress.

a lot of it is environmental. if a child is fed buttery cookies or fried potatoes for comfort from age 2, it is very hard to break that conditioning. if it was easy, people wouldn't be obese. have you ever been fat?

Nah don't know those names and my friends are mostly around 30 now. I wonder why I think I know you. At any rate, have a nice evening.

I don't become orgasmic over it or feel any special effects from it. I just think it tastes good.

i suppose i will reply in a more "human" way (because i am human and i have subjective experience with chocolate).

chocolate has a homogenous texture, and i dislike homogenous textures in my mouth.
it is like eating butter. butter makes various things taste nicer due to it's addition (as does chocolate), but eating the raw product is sickening after a small amount because it is so concentrated and rich. like whipped cream. who would eat a bowl of whipped cream? few people could stomach more than a few spoons full, and i can stomach even less.

there is an interesting story behind the existence of chocolate that makes me want to try it again, but i do not have any desire for pure chocolate so i guess i would not learn anything by eating any more of it.
