Should women be allowed to order whatever they want in restaurants?

Question

Or are they to eat what we order for them?

Answer 1

OMG what planet are you from??? Of course women can eat whatever they want. I am picky so if any man ordered for me I would be immediately turned off by him. I hate controlling people, I am my own person and I can make my own decisions. I'm not 5 years old and need your help lol In fact if you do this for a girl and she doesn't say anything she is probably really insecure and needs a man to do things for her and in that case you don't want a women like that or should I say a girl.

Answer 2

Sorry, everyone, I think the poor guy is asking an etiquette question.

It used to be that the man ordered, as if speaking to the waiter or waitress was traumatic for the woman or something. Most women just go ahead and order for themselves. You might casually ask what she's getting, and see if she's making eye contact with the server when he arrives. If not, order for her.

And just in case: If you are asking because of the cost, make sure you take her somewhere where you can afford the most expensive thing, plus dessert or a drink, plus tip. (I wouldn't have another date with a guy who left a lousy tip.)

Answer 3

I'm going to try to put this nicer than some of the others did, haha.



Yes, she can order what she wants. You might make a suggestion when you first get the menus, but don't just go and order for her. It would make me very angry.



If she doesn't know what she'd like or is having trouble deciding ask if she'd like the both of you to order something that sounded good and then split with each other.



If you just order for the two of you without any consideration to what she wants then she'd feel like you're trying to control her; we women don't particularly like that.

Answer 4

Your question sounds like a serious insult. Women are *allowed* to do anything they want, including ordering their food. Do not assume you can go ahead and order for a woman and expect her to eat it. She DOES have her own tastes and opinions.

Answer 5

The gesture is nice BUT, BUT, what you can do is ask her what food does she desire and you can order it that way. You can not order for a person if you don't know it they like it or not. You are trying to be the controller, let the girl order what she wants. Is that a problem?

Answer 6

I have to say that...



for everything there is an opposite. For example:



If theres good ... then theres bad.

If theres dark .. then theres bright.

If theres smile... then theres frown.

If theres short... then theres tall.



I can go on for ever.



To make a long story short... If "THEY" are to be forced to eat what someone else orders for them... I imagine there has to be a flip side to that...



Something tells me that if having to eat what someone else orders for them is NOT what they want.... Then WE on the other hand may have to accept something that we may NOT want to do as well!!!



It never fails. So be careful what you wish for



good luck

Answer 7

Women should be allowed to order what they choose.

Answer 8

well I would NOT like it if a guy ordered something for me but I wouldn't be rude and order like the prime steak or anything. If they do then dump em cuz they will want to much outa you. Any sensible lady wouldn't order the most expensive thing on the menu

Answer 9

They should be allowed to order whatever they want.

Answer 10

Let the women order what she wants because she might not like what you order her!

Answer 11

Moron. You let them order first and whatever they want. Just make sure you have enough money for anything they serve. Sometimes you can place the order for her but she needs to know that ahead of time.

Answer 12

WTF?



Since when was there a rule? Of course we should be allowed to order whatever we want UNLESS you know a really good dish that we should try.



I'm always up for a new, tasty dish.

Answer 13

Oh good, Aaron...you are back to your old self. I was worried for awhile since your Q's were not the normal thing for you.

I think women should order what they want, and then the men should wear it.. FOOD FIGHT!

Answer 14

You should let the women order their own food. Especially if you don't know what they like/dislike. And there is always that chance of allergies! lol. And you don't want her to think you are pressuring her into eating some kind of food. Besides, would you like it if someone ordered your food for you?

Answer 15

Of course they can eat whatever they want.



What if you order something she doesn't like for her?

Just make sure you have the cash ready if she decides to order something expensive (if you're picking up the bill)

Answer 16

Hoo Boy ! Are you that much of a sexist ? Do you not order what you want ? So why can a woman not order what she wants ?

Answer 17

yes they should be able to order whatever they want because people have different tastes so they might not even like what you order for them.

Answer 18

hahaha



Modern women don't need a man and therefore don't need a man to order for them. If they choose a man to be with, they can choose their dinner.

Answer 19

Would you eat what a woman orders for you?

Answer 20

Articulate intellegent women are capable of reading a menu and ordering their food. It is an old fashioned custom that the lady in question tells her man the requested food and he places the order with the waiter. It is not ettiquette in today's world. Let the girl order herself.

Answer 21

They should be able to order what they want unless you tell them that you cannot afford to buy and $40 meal. Unless it's up to them to pay.

Answer 22

most of them now days order their own but sometimes men do its just what you are used to. I have always ordered my own stuff and i guess i have seen it other way also take care.

Answer 23

You are kidding right dude? women order for themselves thank you very much you dont need to be the knight in shining armour ordering food for your princess shes capable herself you egotistical chauvinistic PIG!!

Answer 24

what the hell? you can order for them, but i suggest asking what she wants first, and pick for her if she asks you to. i think it's pushy when a guy does things like order for me and stuff...unless they pick something i like :P

Answer 25

Uh... I'd say the former (The first one.), because you want to give women a LOT of freedom in a relationship.

Answer 26

its a free country let them order what they want. Geez don't be so mean

Answer 27

Answer 28

Answer 29

Answer 30

Answer 31

To the first question- hell yeah...as for the second Q...huh...noooo
