Our food preferences don’t match, and meals with my papa are making me miserable.
This content is machine-translated.
My papa likes hearty meals—carbs, meat, and that sort of thing—but I hate those kinds of foods.
And he doesn’t seem interested in the kinds of food I like, so we end up eating what he prefers.
Eating food I don’t want is unpleasant, but going straight to a room without having a meal is even more uncomfortable.
Does anyone else have a papa whose food preferences don’t match theirs?
How do you handle meals with someone like that?
I’m Aya, a female member.
When it’s a heavy meal, just eat as much as you can and leave the rest. That’s what I do too. I’ve always been a light eater, and I can’t handle a lot of carbs anyway… If someone gets mad about that, they’re not someone I want to deal with.

People’s tastes in food change with age.
For example, I don’t eat McDonald’s very often anymore, but sometimes I suddenly get a strong craving for it.
Since there’s often an age gap between men and women, I think it’s only natural that their tastes don’t always match.
I feel that each person should simply eat what they like, so I often go to hotel buffets.

In situations like this, I’d usually expect the woman’s preferences to be prioritized, but have you mentioned what you’d like to eat?
Just saying the type of food can be a little vague, so next time, try being specific—for example, “I’d like to eat this next time.”
That said, if you’ve been seeing each other for a long time, he might think, “She’s been going along with my food preferences all this time, so why change now?” You could try discussing it like this:
“I’ve been accommodating you until now, but would it be okay if we went somewhere I’d like to eat from now on?”
Or perhaps suggest a restaurant that offers something you both enjoy.
I think it would be good to talk it over in that kind of way.

I’m a male member, Paper Airplane.
I ask the woman what she feels like eating, and we go out for it.
By the time you’re papa’s age, you’ve usually eaten pretty much everything, so unless you’re an extremely picky eater, you probably don’t have strong preferences about what to eat anymore.

I’m Kazu, a male member.
I understand that the “Regarding offers to [name]” section of a woman’s profile usually includes notes about dining.
I choose restaurants accordingly and do my best to avoid this kind of misunderstanding.

At the very least, I ask them to choose a restaurant where I can order à la carte, so I can just eat what I’m able to.
When someone suggested going to a gourmet ramen shop run by a chef who’d apparently earned a star, I asked them not to—there’s no way to avoid eating certain things at a ramen place.
