I'm middle aged as well and love to eat! I'm small, but I can out eat most large men. I generally eat very healthy, and love salads, etc. I also love pizza and beer and if I want the pizza or the beer, or the wings, or the cheesecake, I'll eat it.

I think being as thin as I was as a kid, I wasn't rasied with any pressure or suggestions as to what I should order on a date. That being said, what I think is sexy and sophisticated is we women being comforatable enough to order whatever we feel like eating. There's a time and place for salad. There's a time and place for pizza and ribs.

Loved your story.
