I once saw a fridge magnet that said “man cannot live on chocolate alone…but woman can.” My mom always laughs at this saying, it is funny after all, but I think it’s funny because it’s partially true. Now, of course, not ALL women love chocolate and there are men who really do, but in general, women tend to like chocolate more than men.
According to an article published by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, women like chocolate more than men because of women’s cycle of estrogen and progesterone. The Guardian claims that women like chocolate more because their taste buds tend to be more sensitive toward bitter flavors. Research also indicates that chocolate affects women’s brains more strongly than men with its release of dopamine in the amygdala.
But what does all of this mean? Well, the amygdala affects emotions and sexual desires – and chocolate has a stronger effect on this part of the brain for women. So chocolate makes people, especially women, feel happy.
As for the cycles of estrogen and progesterone, has to do with women’s menstrual cycles. Different levels of estrogen in a woman’s body can cause all kinds of cravings. Some psychologists believe the chocolate cravings women get are highly cultural. Psychologists believe that women crave chocolate because it is a forbidden food for people on diets, automatically making it more appealing.
Men and women are different, both physically and psychologically. And women just happen to crave chocolate more than men. This doesn’t mean that a woman has a better chance of survival if she’s trapped in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, she’s just more likely to enjoy her time there than a man might.
