Would you think less of a potential partner if they didn’t know how to chew properly?
Medical problems can cause people to choke or otherwise have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).
Thus thick water
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thickened_fluids
Only helpful for certain types of dysphagia, but yes, very helpful for many.
I was commenting mostly because people are equating choking with being a toddler and not knowing how to chew, which is completely oblivious to the fact that many people have medical reasons that these might occur.
Hold on, adding “No dyphagians” to my tinder bio
I’m not in the habit of dating toddlers
(pssssst, there is an implication of sexy times choking)
Would you think less of a potential partner if they had momentarily lapsed in their reading comprehension?
Nope. But I would get to know how they feel about me discretely explaining jokes they miss so that they can enjoy them too.
"Must chew with mouth closed" would be another odd one for a Tinder bio
