Woggle Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Today at work I mentioned something about cooking a nice meal for my wife who has her birthday next week and one of the cheating twins had to go and make some snide comment about me wearing a dress. I wasn't even talking to her but she had to butt in and tell me when she can't be attracted to a man by the stove. Please tell me that most women do not feel this way? I don't know why but this is seriously getting to me.
Bejita463 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Cooking is a good skill to have. Likely, that woman was insecure about the fact you have a skill that she apparently feels encroaches on her territory. I would suspect if she does feel that way it is due to her not having a skill she feels she should have, while you do. Regardless of her reasoning, attempting to belittle a person for their knowledge is simply ignorant.
bayouboi Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I almost never cook for myself, but when I have a girlfriend I love to cook for her. I don't know why. So the answer is probably "yes, cooking makes you less of a man". Grilling otoh is manly enough.
IfWishesWereHorses Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 OMG! NO! Men who cook are sexy! Are you kidding me??? I know plenty of manly men who love to cook. My H has never cooked, not that he couldn't but never showed an interest and I'm sooo jealous of my friends whose husbands are into cooking! I've been teaching my H some recipes lately and he has been receptive to learning.
BB07 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I love a man who can cook me a good meal. Men who cook are very sexy!
threebyfate Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Hell no! I honestly don't know one woman who would look down on a guy who can cook. If anything, it's a real bonus trait in a man!
Porn_Guy Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 i cook and i'm a man...some of the best chefs are men. just make sure you're not chained to the stove
Disillusioned Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Fiddlesticks! Chef Gordon Ramsay is a man. Paul Prudhomme is a man. Martin Yan is a man. Wolfgang Puck is a man. I wasn't allowed to go near a stove until I was well nigh 18, because my fam knew I just wanted to eat burgers and hot dogs! Since then, I've learned how to cook goodies like calamari, chitlins, octopus, eel, catfish, and the Wor Wonton Mein recipe which I cribbed from a dearly beloved Chinese joint which closed down 6 years ago. One day, I had a hankerin' for pig & pepper bread, so I fried up some bacon, diced it, and added it to bread dough with a dash of black pepper and the bacon fat instead of butter. It was the best bread I ever tasted. Never made me feel any less like a man. I also make a delicious chicken marinade out of soy sauce, lemon juice, ginger root, garlic, and chilies. One day, I'm going to sort through my late mother's book of handwritten recipes and find out how she made that spaghetti sauce I loved so much. Last but not least... it's common knowledge that all of us men think we know how to cook with charcoal!
Porn_Guy Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 cook manly dishes, don't make girly dishes. you know, lots of meat 'n potatoes
hopesndreams Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Do you have any nice heels to go with that dress? Just kidding!!! Cooking makes you more of a man and so will the washing up.
Porn_Guy Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Does the Iron Chef look like a priss to you? The most famous chefs are men! indeed, does anthony bourdain look like a sissy? i think not
MalachiX Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Where do you live? I've cooked for every girl I've dated and most of my guy friends cook for their girls at some point. It's an incredibly common thing that is almost becoming a cliche at this point. I'd say most modern guys like to cook for a girl to show them that they're sensitive, to create a more intimate environment, and (of course) to get a girl back their apartment. I can't believe that anyone would consider that feminine these days. That said, why in God's name would you let this upset you. I have a real hard time believing it was meant seriously. Maybe in the 1950s that was the prevailing wisdom but not now. Even if it was serious why let it bother you? It's not your fault if she's trapped in another era. Also, what does "cheating twins" mean?
Disillusioned Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 The only kind of gf I dread is one that whines "oh no! Kielbasa for dinner AGAIN?!?!"
Author Woggle Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 The cheating twins are two women who sit around high fiving each other about their affaird and the one of them even admits that she views kindness from a man as a weakness.
reservoirdog1 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 The cheating twins are two women who sit around high fiving each other about their affaird and the one of them even admits that she views kindness from a man as a weakness. Ignore the two classless cheating bitches. Or if you feel like responding, just say "every woman I've cooked for in the past has been impressed. A few have said it made them wonder, 'wow, if this guy can stimulate my sense of taste... wonder what ELSE he can stimulate?'"

I just can't beleive a WOMAN would make a comment like that.. she's dumb..dumb..dumb... Men SHOULD cook, do the laundry, everything that is needed to run a house.. the ones that never do lift a finger are the jerks.. the ones who get stuck their fingers in their nose when they're kicked to the curb.. (I wonder why a woman would even bother dating those morons).

janie423 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I think a man who cooks is a great find . . . sexy as hell!
Robbed Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I think a man who cooks is a great find . . . sexy as hell! I cook, always have. I learned before I left home years ago. Trouble is nowadays with most girls, their spoiled. They don't know how to cook, don't want to learn, always want to eat out, spend $20+, then eat two bites and say..."Ooo, excuse me, I'm full." And then stare around the room while the guy is sitting there savoring the flavor. What??? What is this. A man that can cook is no punk. Tell me a woman who will love a man and cook with him, cook for him and love on him with those kinds of skills and I'll show you a happy couple. Nope, this is not fantasy world people, real people still exist of this nature. I know a few, and yes,...they are few and far between , but let me tell you they know how to make a home smell good, radiate with love and make great love. My co-worker cooks for her hubby, she enjoys it..I would love to have that kind of woman, and besides she's short and cute too! Oh well. enough. I have great respect for her relationship.
IfWishesWereHorses Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Woggle, I wonder if those cheating twins are playing you? I've never met a woman that wasn't impressed with a man that can cook.
Author Woggle Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 Woggle, I wonder if those cheating twins are playing you? I've never met a woman that wasn't impressed with a man that can cook. I think they are real. I know the cheating is real because every man in the place besides me is chasing after them. Most of the time when I come hear spouting off against women it is after listening to those two.
phineas Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I've got fresh broccoli marinating in olive oil, lemon juice & parm. Some fresh carrots marinating similar minus parm & some chicken in lemon pepper. Yep. I'm about to grab a beer & a cigar & do me some grillin'!!
