How to deal with GF chewing with her mouth open

[Mucha Man]

Chewing with your mouth open is like China's version of 'Ghetto Fabulous'. "Yeah that's right motha fucka, I got all kinds of food, I aint strarvin'! Look bitch, it's right here in my mouth, sweet nutrients, betchya wish ya Scury withered' ass had some o' what i got!"

T

Nice one.

This sounds like something from Seinfeld. Just be thankful she doesn't have man hands.

OP, I'd recommend pointing out the pet peeve in a lighter way. My personal preference (and it works on my brother-in-law) subtle additions of bass drum to the chewing noise rhythm. Every time she *chicks*, you bring the bass *doef*. So it'll be doef-chick-doef-chick-doef-chick. Maybe add a snare drum as well *Tah*. So it goes doef-chick-tah-chick-doef-chick-tah-chick. Remember, the key here is that you not focusing on her open mouth chewing, but merely enjoying the rhythm it makes. This will in time make her chew with her mouth closed because she'll notice that you notice the fact of her making chewing noises while eating. You'll achieve this without ever directly telling her that this annoys the sh!t out of you.

Another thing you can do, when she chews like a cow, is to simply stop what you're doing and stare at her mouth. This will beg the question from her side: "What?"
Then your answer must be, when the utmost amazement: "How do you do it?" She: "Do what?" You: "Keep the food in your mouth." She: "Huh?" You: "Yeah, every time I try chewing with my mouth open, my food falls out." She: (genuinely confused). You: "You must teach me."
Really try to learn this from her. She'll obviously not teach you and definitely stop chewing like that to too.

Don't dump her about this. Rather enjoy the journey. IMHO

I raised this issue with SO this morning. She became indignant, defensive and swore that no Taiwanese would do this, and that they are taught from an early age to chew with their mouth closed.

So you're all wrong.

Ha, so funny. I was on a first date a few weeks ago and there was open mouth chewing with occasional lip-smacking. On the third date, I bring up (randomly) open mouth chewing and was told the exact same thing above with the same attitude (people here don't do that and parents smack their kids for it) by someone who does it!!! That was the final date.

I can't even look at someone when they eat like this because it turns my stomach so much...my hat goes off to you for making it to the third date!!!!

Only the first date was an eating one. One movie (no ) and one..."other." The open mouth chewing, and even smacking, doesn't bother me as much as someone being so completely unaware of oneself that they rip on the very behavior they don't know they are engaging in.

All I'm gonna say is, I'll have to take a really loooong hard look at the eating habits I've acquired here (7 years since I've been back to the Republic) before I go back to visit my grandparents. I can imagine they'd be horrified if they saw me eating here.

I pulled the glance on my wife. She returned with this sassy comment... "it taste better this way".

Despite a person's many wonderful qualities, a person chewing with their mouth open would have been the breaking point in my book...it's just so...ewwwwww.....and I wouldn't want to prepare myself for the other disgusting habits that the person might very well have.

Let me not mention then that cute chicks who yawn turn me on

Man...we need a Men's Forum. I have a theory about Taiwanese women and their open mouthed chewing/messy eating...
