If women have such better sense of smell/taste why aren’t they the top chefs? Why is it always men?
Well if smell is anything like IQ …
Men are more ingenious with their noses.
>>21671021because fat women are an abomination so they can't eat too much food and experiment, lest they only get to date fat fetishists and black men
I think that's why they're not, actually. For example, my ex is a legit supertaster. The bitch could detect smells and flavours others simply could not, and yes, this was scientifically proven. As such? She had a fairly limited palate. Not picky, all things considered but she couldn't eat any sort of lettuce because they were all overwhelmingly bitter to her, even iceberg. She preferred spinach salads. Stuff like that.So if women have stronger chemical senses than do men, they might avoid triggering smell or taste extremes.
>>21671021>um us women are actually secretly better at everything check out this buzzfeed article i found while looking at dogs on pinterest, it says women have better eyesight because like 50000 years ago there were these two berries that had a very similar colour and one was poisonous so prehistoric QWEENS evolved to like tell the differenceIt's literally just we wuzzery but for foids. Total nonsense
>>21671140Hm. Maybe.
>>21671021Basic statistics. You know the grug, midwit and genius meme? Women are the midwit, men are the grug and genius. in almost every cognitive measure, women heavily cluster towards the average, meaning men are more common, by proportion, at the extremes. The smartest and dumbest people are men, as are the absolute best and worst chefs.
Women periodically experience periods of reduced senses due to menstrual cycles, similar to when they have a cold. However, the fact that chefs and pastry chefs do physical labor may be a bigger factor.
>>21671021>If women have such better sense of smell/tasteNever heard this before in my life.
>>21671021Men are more:1. Competitive2. Thing oriented3. Objectiveon top of feminism decrying women in the kitchenMeaning, women self-select themselves OUT of the kitchen in response to feminism. The only place you really see women is baking, wedding cakes, etc. because that is "social cooking", not just regular old ick cooking. So even if they were super tasters it won't matter - they've been psyop'd right out of using those talents. Men of course have not been psyop'd out of the kitchen, rather more into it. And they are naturally competitive. Meaning they are racing for stars in their ratings. That means you need to be smart and creative, lest you fall behind. Women HATE that type of environment, too high pressure, too much accountability, not enough conformism. That is why you only see a few making attempts.
>fuck up dish>it's your fault and yours alone
Women aren't dumb enough to spend 18 hours a day in a kitchen, for 40 years straight.
I think women often respond more emotionally to initial experiences with a certain food thing and associate future encounters of that flavor with said memory. If they find something they're trying for the first time to be disgusting or even slightly unappealing, they typically won't try to discover a more practical usage of it or a different way to eat it, but rather exclude it from their palette altogether.
>>21671288Spinach is a thousand times more bitter than lettuce. Your gf is just a retard like all women but we pretend they are perfect like we are supposed to.
>>21672073This was meant for >>21671140
>>21671140The lengths picky eaters go to just baffles my mind
Because cooking isnt a sensorial thing but an aesthetic artform, and there men excel.
>>21671021>women have such better sense of smell/tastedo you even pretend to proofread your posts?
>>21672092>implying picky eaters existit's called "distinction", and you seem to lack it.
>>21671140Spinach is more bitter though. Iceberg is gross, less appetizing, tends to get gross brown/grey/pink colors, tastes bad and has no nutritional content, but it's definitely not more bitter than spinach.
Because women cook for people they love, their men and children. Men cook for the "competitiveness" sake and work in kitchens which is awfulWomen are the smart ones here.
>>21672238You're not a supertaster. It's like the coriander gene: there are people who can detect compounds that others do not and lettuces of all kinds have some component that, to people who can detect it, makes them horrifically fucking bitter. >>21672073>>21672074Spinach, black coffee, dark chocolate etc are also bitter, yes, but by different means so many supertasters can enjoy them just fine but not any lettuce.When I first heard of it when my ex and I took some supertaster test together back in uni, I immediately thought of it like spiciness. See, I can eat spicy chillies without so much as breaking a sweat. No problems. But I bitch out when it comes to horseradish. Two different kinds of spicinesses and I just so happen be able to handle the one and not the other. Similarly, there are different types of bitternesses and she could handle the ones from spinach but not from lettuce. It's not that outlandish or difficult a premise to understand. >>21672092She wasn't a picky eater. She just couldn't eat certain a few things, like lettuce. I mentioned another story with her here before: we used to go out for kiwi smoothies together a lot and she said "I love the taste of these smoothies! <3 They're SOOOooo good. But I hate that itchy/scratchy/throat-close-y feeling you get from eating kiwifruit, know what I mean?"No, bitch. No. I do not know what you mean. You're allergic to kiwi. I don't get any itchy/scratchy/throat-close-y reaction from kiwi.So she went to an allergist and, sure enough, she was allergic to kiwifruit and a few other things.Anyway, you name foods picky eaters dislike and I guarantee she enjoyed them. Just, again, not lettuce.
>>21672264>You're not a supertaster.You specifically admitted to not being a supertaster Lmao. You do not belong in this conversation.>supertaster>corianderTwo different things with different mechanisms entirely. The coriander thing is a strong sensitivity to aldehydes. Supertasters literally just have more tastebuds. A supertaster's taste wont amplify 1 flavor more than another. It amplifies all flavors equally. It is nothing like the coriander gene that amplifies ONLY the soapy flavor and nothing else. Everything tastes the same to supertasters, only more intensely. Iceberg lettuce is not more bitter than spinach to anybody on earth lmao.
>my gf is a super taster and actually according to them, bell peppers are spicier and have more capsaicin than carolina reapers>hurr durrholy shit who gave millions of retards access to the internet?
>>21672283>>21672330You are not very smart.
>>21672343>Ermm?? Actually what my girlfriend said is true! And I believe her when she says she's not fucking Chad behind my back!LMAOOO what kind of humiliation ritual is this?
>>21672358You're only proving >>21672343
Spinach is bitter as shit. Whats this thread about even.
>>21672358Why can my supertaster ex girlfriend eat baby spinach salads while iceberg is too bitter for her?>Supertasters can detect certain bitter compounds in iceberg lettuce that may go unnoticed by non-supertasters due to their heightened sensitivity to bitterness, particularly compounds that are present in small amounts or are structurally subtle. Interestingly, even though iceberg lettuce is typically considered mild compared to traditionally bitter greens like spinach, it can taste quite bitter to a supertaster.>The key compounds responsible for bitterness in iceberg lettuce that supertasters may detect include:>1. Sesquiterpene lactonesExample: Lactucin, lactucopicrin>Source: These are naturally occurring bitter compounds in members of the Asteraceae family (which includes lettuce).>Properties: They are very bitter even at low concentrations.>Note: These are the same compounds responsible for the bitterness in wild lettuces and some chicories. Even in small amounts in iceberg lettuce, supertasters can detect them.>2. Phenolic compoundsExample: Caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid>These compounds can contribute astringency and mild bitterness.>They are less bitter than sesquiterpene lactones but still noticeable to supertasters.>3. Glucosinolates (less likely in iceberg lettuce, more common in crucifers)While not abundant in lettuce, trace levels might still be detected by supertasters.
>>21672391>>21672358And why not spinach?>Spinach contains different bitter compounds, such as:>Oxalic acid – gives it a more astringent, mineral taste.>Saponins – contribute a mild bitterness and are often masked by other flavors.>Supertasters are especially sensitive to specific classes of bitter compounds, such as the PROP (6-n-propylthiouracil)-like compounds, which sesquiterpene lactones chemically resemble more than oxalates or saponins do. This may explain why iceberg lettuce, despite being blander to most, can trigger a surprisingly intense bitter response for supertasters — because it contains the "right kind" of bitterness for their sensitive taste receptors (particularly TAS2R38 gene variants).>Summary:>Supertasters may find iceberg lettuce bitter due to their heightened sensitivity to sesquiterpene lactones like lactucin and lactucopicrin, which aren't present (or are present in much smaller quantities) in classically bitter foods like spinach. Spinach bitterness comes from different compounds that may not trigger the same strong response in supertasters.>Let me know if you want a chart comparing these compounds in various leafy greens.
>>21672385>samefag>still no counterargument
>>21672393>>21672391>>21672358Only if it can be rendered in downloadable picture format like jpg. Otherwise, nah: I'm good. So is that why my ex gf could eat spinach, drink black coffee, enjoy dark chocolate etc but couldn't handle the bitterness in iceberg?>Yes — that absolutely tracks with how supertasting works.>Your ex being fine with spinach, black coffee, and dark chocolate, but reacting strongly to iceberg lettuce, suggests that her sensitivity was narrowly tuned to specific bitter compounds — particularly the sesquiterpene lactones found in lettuce and similar greens (like endive or radicchio).Why that happens:>Bitterness isn't a single taste — it's a spectrum caused by many different chemical families.>Supertasters have more fungiform papillae (taste buds) and often have specific genetic variants (like TAS2R38) that make them extremely sensitive to certain bitter compounds (like PROP or PTC analogs).>Compounds in coffee (like caffeine) and dark chocolate (like theobromine and polyphenols) affect different receptors than the lactucin/lactucopicrin bitterness in iceberg lettuce.>So even if someone can enjoy classic bitter flavors, if they have a strong response to those specific terpenoid-type bitters, iceberg can taste shockingly bitter, even metallic or medicinal.Fun fact:>This kind of selective bitterness sensitivity is why some people love arugula, while others say it tastes like poison — or why some can drink Campari, while others gag on it.
>>21671021>Why is it always men?It isn't.The hours suck for running a restaurant. Some people just opt for pastry hours, caterer/hotel/events planning, or slightly less than full-time hours.I know women who left the kitchen and work on their entreprenurial pursuits instead. Work-life balance. To think a gender has any more ability is kind of silly. The only thing women can do better than men is multi-task.
>>21672391>>21672393>>21672399>needing to prompt AI this hard rather than asking it one simple yes or no question You can get AI to tell you whatever you want if you jailbreak it by giving it too many conditions. Start a new instance, ask it "Do supertasters think iceberg lettuce or spinach is more bitter?" and post the response here (and post proof that you actually asked this, and that you didn't pre-prompt it before this question). I think it's funny you care THIS much just to jailbreak your AI, rather than just admitting you're wrong.
>>21671021They can't handle stress
>>21672405>3 clear questions>too many prompts Pick one. Looks like another thing women can't do is lose gracefully, "ma'am"
>>21672391 >>21672393 >>21672399You don't know how to use AI in an unbiased way. >Why do supertasters find iceberg lettuce to be more bitter than spinach?>Why do supertasters find spinach to be more bitter than iceberg lettuce?These questions will give you two different answers. AIs are trained to confirm your biases. If you ask a question loaded with assumptions, AI will confirm whatever assumptions you've made. If you want an unbiased answer you have to ask questions that don't have loaded assumptions in them such as:>Do supertasters think spinach or iceberg lettuce is more bitter? This is an unbiased question without loaded assumptions and allows AI to find the correct answer for you. Ask the unbiased question and see what you get. You won't like it :)
>>21672419Ask it >Do supertasters find iceberg lettuce or spinach to be more bitter? Instead of asking it to confirm your 1 of 1 anecdotal experience.
>>21672423>>21672425>Nuhuh! I have the vagina so I'm right all along and y-you're b-biased! Female behaviour.
>>21672423>>21672425Regardless of how I worded it, I got far more information than >>21672358 did, with an actually scientific explanation behind it, which is what I wanted: the why, not a yes or no.>21672431>21672419Don't be a cunt.>>21672405No jailbreaking. Quite the opposite, actually.I didn't log in specifically to avoid that issue and that first question was the very first I asked in that's session just so I could get the best answer without AI memory bias of previous conversations. I would have screenshot it but I'm in incognito and that doesn't work in incognito mode.
>>21671021There's smarter ways to earn more money for far less work. Women take those jobes instead.
Perfect thread.My mom watches him all the time “loves” cooking takes cooking classes goes to cooking club.I’m sick right now she got me sick. “Mom how about some comfort food, something that people eat when they are sick” and named a restaurant with that type of stuff. We just had a big argument about this and she seems autistically unable to understand the concept of comfort food. She has an Ivy League degree.Of course I’m the millennial who can’t do anything right change a tire etc
>>21672403All the serious French chefs are men, women make the sandwiches
>>21672560>named a restaurant with that type of stuff.Honestly, if I am dog tired sick, and I don't have a frozen chicken ready to pressure cook, then I look to delivery. Any lovely greek diner will have homemade soup. Mexicans, latinos and Italians too. A comfy bowl of avogolemono, minestrone, or a chicken soup with lime, and some nice crusty bread is ideal. Whatever else they deliver can be your next feeling-better-meal, or dessert.
>>21671021There's a lot of top chefs who are women thoughMen are just more likely to be loud about how great they are.
>>21672587>dog tired sickLazy dog is the name of the place (small chain) Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar serves American comfort food with a focus on handcrafted dishes made from scratch and seasonally-inspired ingredients.lol my son no know boil water lol
>>21672560>She has an Ivy League degree.You are saying that like it actually means anything
>>21672591The only thing a woman should be topping is a dick
>>21671021Men can isolate senses better. Don't believe me? Listen to any music, try to single out the instruments. You'll be able to do it easily. Women are more sensitive to smell, but can't single out smells as easily. Men can detect specific flavors and spices which makes it easy to tell which theres too much of, too less of, or how to replicate a flavor.
>>21671021Women with a cocaine addiction usually just switch over to escorting because you can make more money in an hour blowing a fat lonely guy than you can cooking for him.
>>21672593It means she was/is autistic enough to be good at school and standardized tests Being good at school is like being strong. There are tons of dudes who bench as much as nfl guys but would be a laughingstock on the field

>>21672598This Jest players are just as fit as players on other teams
>>21672600I’m working on my career I graduated in 09In 2015 my mother got breast cancer and my father got debilitating dementia. My mother being the fat useless piece of shit she is got nearly deadly complications from the chemo and lost the ability to walk briefly. My father continued to mentally decline and died a few years ago. My grandmother also died and all of my useless fuck relatives just sent thoughts and prayers. My mother then forced me to move to nigger infested northern Va from the most iconically beautiful and well connected region of Massachusetts. My psychologist got arrested for kiddie porn and I suffered a debilitating overuse full body condition 4 years ago that I still suffer from that I got from lifting too hard during the first trump presidency. My sister got impregnated by a skinhead that’s totally not a skinhead that named their kid Layton and a semi pro ufc fighter tried to murder me on my own property last Christmas.Basically I’m a big crybaby who can’t boil water.
>>21672617damn nigga that sucks.>My grandmother also died and all of my useless fuck relatives just sent thoughts and prayersYeah that happens. Happened with my uncle, he asked on his death bed for his family to take care of his wife. He died and of course they scatter and fly back to Cali with their phones off and it falls on me and my family due to proximity. I'm well off enough but these douchebags are millionaires and they couldn't even send her a kind "go fuck yourself." saging for my own blogpost. figured you wanted to know I at least read your thing. I'm always sad when I hear people's familial relationships go to shit. Hopefully things look up for you.
>>21672641I just want a mother that doesn’t treat me like an idiot because she doesn’t know what comfort food is.
