No.

I dry age steaks at home, so between trimming off the pellicle (which I then use for mixing in when grinding burger meat or turn into stock/demi-glace) and the water loss from evaporation, my steaks aren't particularly large, and I certainly don't do it because of any sort of masculinity.
>but every bite tastes the same and there's no need to experience it past the first few.
I'm not really sure what this argument is. If you find something delicious, why would you decide you should stop after a couple of bites?

Good for you. Giant porterhouses at steakhouses is definitely associated with power businessmen and boomers in the finance industry though; it goes with the whisky and cigars. (But Alexander's in Silicon Valley seems to be leaning into very expensive wagyu.) > If you find something delicious, why would you decide you should stop after a couple of bites? Having a short attention span is my foolproof diet tip and has never failed me. Plus, desire is the root of suffering and all that.
