研究：约会时吃得越多暗示他越喜欢你

‘These findings suggest that men tend to overeat to show off – you can also see this tendency in eating competitions which almost always have mostly male participants,’ explains lead author Kevin Kniffin, PhD, of Cornell University in a recent press release.

“这些发现表明男性更倾向于通过增大进食量表现自己，我们也可以在大胃王比赛中注意到这个规律——参赛者以男性居多”，该项研究近期在刊物上发布，它的主要作者，康奈尔大学的凯文·凯尼芬博士解释道。

When the diners got up to leave, the researchers stepped in to ask if they would complete a short survey indicating their level of fullness after eating, and their feelings of hurriedness and comfort while eating.

在这些顾客离开时，研究人员询问他们是否愿意参与一个关于他们饱腹程度、紧迫感和就餐时舒适度的小调查。

By overconsuming food men unconsciously may be signaling their biological fitness, a paradoxical tactic in this case given that ‘overeating constantly is going to produce a body shape research shows tends to be viewed as unattractive,’ Kniffin explained.

男性往往无意识地通过增大食量展示他们的生理优势，然而这个策略和实际情况很矛盾——“研究表明，暴饮暴食形成的身材往往看起来毫无魅力”，凯尼芬说道。

However, these findings fit with other examples of self-handicap behaviour, where in this case men are showing off their fitness through excessive eating.
