There is possibly another gender based refrigerator difference besides men waiting for items to appear and women sorting through them. I think men return to refrigerators to look for food more often than women do, after having been disappointed by the selection an hour or so ago, just in case something appeared in the interim.
This is testable! Have volunteers wait in a room “for the experiment to begin.” Tell them they may eat anything in a refrigerator. Have nothing but crappy food in the refrigerator. See who, after opening the refrigerator and not taking anything, opens it again without taking anything.
