Why do doods equate eating spicy food as being a 'Man'?

Bahahahahaha repped

 

These are the same people who order multiple jaeger/vodka and redbull drinks at a bar.

 

Super spicey food = covering up ****ty cooking

 

Macho guys like to see who's the strongest, they like to see who can chug beer the fastest, they like to street race cars, they like to see who can eat the most chicken wings, etc. Many guys are just dorks. lol.

BTW, if by "spicy", you mean "hot", capsaicin supposedly gives the body an endorphin rush that some people like. I like hot peppers, but would never eat them in quantity as a challenge. I just love growing them and adding them to foods I eat to kick the heat up.

 

I only like medium spice. Any more than that detracts from the food flavor and upsets my stomach.

I'm confident enough in myself that I don't feel that I have to prove my "toughness" to anyone. If someone wants to call me a p***y because I won't eat something or drink something (or anything else), I really don't care.

 

On topic, I loooooove spicy food but I think my stomach lining has been weakened over the years. I used to be able to handle it with ease, but if I eat anything even on the level of Hooter's 3-mile island wings (which I used to not even consider hot), I will have stomach aches and a very uncomfortable few trips to the toilet afterwards. Still worth it every once in a while though... kinda like getting hammered even though you know the hangover is coming.

 

Why do people equate all sorts of stupid **** as being a "man"?

 

hahah niiice

 

So despite the fact that this feat leaves all your buddies in disbelief, every time you eat a hot pepper, they still keep demanding these heat challenges against you when they see you do it? Even though you keep winning the challenges?! Some very determined buddies!

Unless, were they a little less direct/official than that? Like if you kept offering/talking about how hot your pepper is, and someone mentions a different type of pepper they heard about that you could try in response. Then you had to explain that "yes I could, I mean I can probably take the most heat out of everyone here, but it's not a competition, and I eat hot peppers only because I like them. I'm not going to eat a ghost pepper just to prove a point. That's not what eating hot peppers is about."

Because otherwise, I don't think they generally do. Do that, the challenges, and equating manhood etc.

 

Spicy food has its place. It definitely is used as a masking agent at ****ty wing places but there are also plenty of world class restaurants that serve very spicy food that is incredibly tasty.

 

Interesting. So does this mean spices that give of the spicy taste also give off some other sensation that's positive? That the spicyness itself is only a byproduct of another taste? Because I know with some food, having it cooked spicy makes it simply taste better.

 

Just tell em you got a 9inch trouser snake and you bench tree-fiddy

 

Spicy food is ok at the time of eating but oh my the toilet suffers later...

 

My recommendation in case of incineration.

Incendiary Habanero-extraced infused Ludicrous wings.

 

Women are competitive as well. Let one friend get married before the other. Or, let another women wear the same outfit.

Is this same rush when eating the green sauce associated with sushi? That stuff goes straight to the head!!

 

endorphin rush

 

apocalypse?????

 

I'm not an expert on this but my understanding is that the flavor of things like peppers isn't just capsaicin but several other chemicals. The burn of capsaicin adds to the overall sensation of eating spicy food and not just the flavor.
