Recently, while chatting with friends, we stumbled upon a particularly interesting topic: the "full but still eating" phenomenon among women in relationships. This reminded me of a video I had seen before, which humorously documented the amount of food women could still consume after declaring they were full. It was both amusing and bewildering. In fact, this phenomenon hides a lot of romantic philosophy.
I recall a date with a close friend who, just after saying "I really can't eat anymore," immediately lit up at the sight of desserts on the next table. Isn't that the classic "full but still eating" scenario? In relationships, women often exhibit this kind of "saying one thing but meaning another" behavior. For instance, they might miss their partner dearly but insist, "I don't miss you at all," or act indifferent when they truly care.
This brings to mind a comment from a netizen named coco: "Keeping a distance makes love more attractive." How true! Just like with food, a moderate sense of hunger can make the meal more enjoyable. In love, maintaining a bit of mystery and distance can actually enhance the attraction.
However, I believe the most important thing is to learn to express genuine feelings. As the article suggests, it"s better to openly express emotions rather than leaving the other person guessing. After all, no one is a superhero with a god's-eye view; guessing games are exhausting. Like my friend, who now directly says, "I want dessert," making dates more relaxed and enjoyable.
Speaking of understanding, it"s truly the hardest lesson in love. As the article points out, understanding is harder than loving. Sometimes we think we love someone deeply, but we may not truly understand them. Like a couple I know, the girl often says, "I love you so much, why don't you understand me?" Yet, she herself doesn't fully grasp the guy's thoughts.
Finally, I want to say that love is like food; it's about enjoying it but also knowing when to hold back. It's important not to have overly high expectations for relationships and to maintain rationality. As the article mentions, 80% of lasting love is rational. So, instead of obsessing over "does he love me or not," it's better to focus on improving oneself and becoming a more attractive person.
