Why do women seem to be obsessed with chocolate?

I mean, it's good but it's not like semi-orgasmic or anything to eat.

>tl;dr why are women crazed chocoloholics?
>>
>>7486578
Science anon. You eat chocolate you get a rush of endorphins in your brain. For men this happens only for the first bite but for women it happens for every bite. Women were programmed to respond well to chocolate.
>>
>>7486677
Is there a subtle sex joke hidden here?
>>
>>7486578
Apparently something to do with low blood sugar, stress or changing hormonal levels prior to a woman's menstrual cycle.

Or Some researchers claim that chocolate cravings in menstruating women may be a cultural phenomenon. Studies have shown that American women are more likely to crave chocolate than women of other nationalities, perhaps because they're concerned about the high levels of sugar and fat in chocolate and therefore consider it an indulgence. Some experts believe that chocolate cravings in menstruating women may be largely psychological, since they feel that premenstrual symptoms give them a socially acceptable reason to eat chocolate, a high fat food.

I can't control it, I must have chocolate when I see it. Not my fault, it is primal instinct.
So smooth and rich and delicious. Without chocolate there is no point to life.

It's a cultural meme propagated the the years by tv and movies.
>>
>>7486578
as a grill, the week before my period, I get these intense, undeniable chocolate cravings every month without fail.

during the other weeks of the month I like chocolate, it's good and all, but about 5-6 days before my period starts, I get this extreme craving for rich rich dark chocolate and I just can't not have it, I dunno why. cake, ice cream, cookies, brownies. usually after I quell the cravings with a serving or two they go away.

Obsession with any given food is culturally indoctrinated.

Here in the west, women are abnormally obsessed with chocolate.
In Spain, women are instead abnormally obsessed with cream puffs.

I get my chocolate fix with sugar free hot chocolate. women should do the same. Most fat a woman eats turns into body-fat.

>Obsession with any given food is culturally indoctrinated.

This. Women are told by society that they love chocolate, so they do. It's like how men are obsessed with beer: because they're told it's a manly thing, they assume they must love it. Since most people are stupid, they tend to believe whatever TV commercials tell them.

Perfect example right here. You're just eating to distract yourself. Any food would make you feel the same as chocolate, you just happen to like sweets.

What relieves pain is loading up on NSAIDS or anti-inflammatory herb extracts days before your period in order to prevent the build-up of the prostaglandins that cause your body to send pain signals to your brain.

Because chocolate is dark looking and we all know all girls (especially white girl) crave for the big black penis even if the years say no that they don't care about penis size.

The chocolate obsession proves the theory.

Woman here. I have it down to two main reasons.

The first being similar to the sensation of craving sugar when you're tired. Periods cause tiredness due to a myriad of extraneous things that aren't directly caused by menstruating itself, like mood swings, being unable to get a good nights rest due to discomfort, etc. We crave energy, and a sugar rush is a quick fix.

The second is that chocolate is an indulgence, so allowing yourself a treat when you're not feeling 100% makes you feel entitled to indulge.

These are my theories based on past experiences, even though I don't really have a sweet tooth and rarely crave chocolate at all, even on my period. I think there is an element of it that is cultural shorthand for comfort, so when a friend is on her period, it's nice to offer some chocolate or an aspirin or whatever.
>>
>>7488434
To add about the tiredness thing - our endocrine systems are also working tirelessly during this time which would explain some of the physical exhaustion - which I guess you could say is tiredness directly caused by menstruation.
>>
>>7487205
This is a thing in other countries as well. Although there's nothing wrong with the occasional BBQ.

It does piss me off that when you grill up some vegetables as well you'll have at least one guy go HUEHUEHUEHE FAG
>>
>>7486578
Female - I love chocolate but I don't know if you could say I have "cravings" around any schedule or events.

I think that the chocolate = happy concept is a myth based on the fact that women don't run out buying the darkest chocolate they can find for the supposed "endorphin rush". Rather, any women that do care for chocolate tend to gravitate towards the sweeter stuff, even if not milk chocolate.

If it was really for endorphins and not taste then women should be buying unsweetened chocolate in droves simply for the brain chemical response.

I like it because it tastes good. I also like ice cream. I'm fat.

Men tend to gravitate towards the extremes (extreme bitterness, or extreme sweetness) while women tend to prefer middle areas (milk chocolate for example).
Women rate moderately sweet items as sweeter than men do, but men prefer highly bitter things (beer, dark chocolate, black coffee) or highly sweet things.

It's also speculated that because women experience more mood swings than men do (especially around the menstrual cycle) they seek comfort foods in the downswings to balance out the mood - so food high in carbs, sugar, and fat.
>>
I'm a grill and I prefer dark chocolate over milk chocolate.
>>
Am I the only female that doesn't get more bitchy or have 'cravings' when it's that time of the month? I've yet to encounter another and I honestly think it's used as an excuse to be more of a bitch and to eat what ever they want.

Same when I was pregnant, no sickness bullshit, no mood swings, no "I can't work waaaa". I just don't get it.
>>
>>7492268
I dont get bitchy or have cravings but I would always bloat pretty bad and about 5 days before my period would start I would get an awful headache. ( I Had an ablation 6 years ago so I don't deal with this issue anymore.) Occasionally, I would get quite emotional and would cry over stupid commercials and shit like that but, never bitchy or intense craving for anything.

I did have cravings when I was pregnant but it was for very salty stuff. Like soy sauce, I put it on everything. As soon as I had the baby the cravings went away for that.
>>
>>7492268
Every woman in my family has a history of painful periods and it wasn't any different for me. I do get bitchy but am generally a quiet and reserved person with insane amounts of self control so I keep that shit in check [spoiler]until I get home[/spoiler].

You can enjoy a rich chocolaty drink without the fat and sugar. simply boil water with cocoa, and add to a cup containing aspartame, coffee-mate, and some vanilla extract. This can replace your morning cup of coffee as well.

Basically men love the taste of chocolate as well, but we're not vacuous to the extent where it's a talking point about us. Imagine saying "yeah I loooooooove chocolate" on a date with a girl. It's just ridiculous.

Basically women are whores and don't have to prove they are intelligent or interesting to get laid. They can just say "omg I love X" and that substitutes for conversation.
