Cake or Salad?

When women choose between salad and cake, they usually want to have cake but often go with the salad instead. I don´t get it. Of course I like a good cake, who doesn´t.. But a fresh salad with some nice dressing (like vinaigrette) or even without it is the best thing ever. Why would anyone pick the sticky sugary dessert over a fresh crispy salad is beyond me..
