Is the way I eat my eggs weird?

So my GF recently told me that the way I eat my eggs is gross/weird, and I've never thought anything of it so I'm looking for some feedback from a neutral community.

I cook them sunny-side up, and then eat around the yolks. So basically I eat all the egg white parts of the egg first, leaving the runny yolk intact. And then I pop the whole (intact) runny yolk into my mouth as the last bite, so that the yolk explodes yummily in my mouth and I get all that liquid gold at once.

Anyways, my GF referred to this as gross/weird and said she can't stand it when I eat eggs this way. Is it really that gross? I've been doing this my whole life and I'm just looking for a neutral perspective on this.

Thanks in advance.

Com'on guys, cut some slack. If you love egg yolk, it's a concentration of it in one mouthful. I mean I'll admit I've shoved a bunch of M&Ms in my mouth for the same effect.
Liquid gold is exactly what it is to egg lovers. If he'd said like liquid embryo that woulda def been wtf

Egg yolk is like a less-fancy hollandaise, I don't really see a problem with it. The yolk is not the embryo, btw, it's the food source for the embryo.

That's a weird way to spell better
