men, women, and red hot chili peppers.

[dolf]

is there a difference in how men and women enjoy chilies?

I certainly fit their description. i'm a masochist, and spicy food is one of the few forms of truly socially acceptable masochism.

Not sure I fit the bill. I love hot and spicy food but I'm a chartered accountant with a 10 year fixed rate mortgage and a well-funded pension plan. Not sure that fits the 'risk taker' profile.

This article is based on a 1988 study at Penn State that included 66 men and 80 women between the ages of 17 to 32 years, 93% of whom were white.

Do you think eating spicy foods would be correlated with risk taking if you surveyed Asian or Hispanic people? Or people from southwestern regions?

I took it to be a study on why westerners eat it, not why it is eaten globally.

It's ok, I'm reconciled to my lot in life. I make up for it by having a filthy imagination.

Hispanics are westerners. The southwest USA is part of the Western world. There are tons of Asian people living in the West.

Even if you mean white Europeans, there are regional variations in the use of spices. New World peppers have been a part of European cuisine for a couple hundred years now.

I'll point out that drinking buttermilk was also correlated with risk taking in this survey... because buttermilk isn't something people in Pennsylvania drink a lot of. So the people who drink it or use it for cooking are the sort of people who'll go out of their way for an unusual or novel experience.

ok. America doesn't count.

Not a fan of hot for hot's sake. It is an over-rated experience.

You commie.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

in order to put off eating them.

No. To have them for nachos and Christmas gifts.

They are great in black-eyed peas with bacon.

But I won't eat them just for a tingle.

Only as a proper flavor.

 

[dolf]

You commie.

whatever makes you think that, comrade never?

I guess I eat peppers like a girl then b/c I love the sensations they give me.

I used to hate spicy food and then something clicked when I was like 27ish...it didn't really hurt anymore just a fun tingling sensation. Since then I've run with it and my tolerance just keeps going up. So maybe one day I'll be one of those nuts who enjoys some of the nuttier peppers or maybe I'll find my limit along the way...who knows but whatever happens I'm not going to push myself and my colons safety for crazydom as some sort of way to wave my dick around.

I prefer to do my dick waving on race tracks/drag strips at sanctioned events....occasionally a spirited drive on a back road or leg stretch on a desolate section of interstate.

I'm pretty sure Vetteman is the only person who could get me to street race ever again by rolling up and reving on me. I would do it right in front of a cop, they can crush my shit and fine me a grip, it would be worth it just to kick his ass, call him a bitch and then throw feces at his car as we fly down the road past said cop.

I love spicy food and I do it for the flavor. I read this article yesterday and had to laugh. They are basically saying that men eat spicy things to appear macho and women because they genuinely love the taste.
