Robbed Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Cooking makes you more of a man no, cooking doesn't make you more of a man. You're a man regardless of whether you cook or just look the part, cooking doesn't define gender. I just love to cook as long as I can find a wonderful girl to cook for. Gourmet style, gumbo style, english style, american style, italian style, bbq style, doens't matter...you bring home the bacon (women), I'll grill like the man I know I am (did that just rhyme? Ooops, sorry)
Robbed 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'!! Phineas, that sounds delicious. (minus the beer and cigar)
Pizzaman81 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 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. You have a wife? Anyway, i'm trying to get better at cooking! Cooking is a huge turn on for women!
Maxxx Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 What about cooking makes you not a man? I like to cook more so when I have the time.......As a matter of fact I am a better cook then my GF.....
Blackfrost Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Any man who doesn't know how to cook is less of a man! You think I'm going to let my wife marinate, smoke and grill ribs for the family?!? blasphemy!
Blackfrost Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I like to cook for blackfrost just before i give him a blowjob and im totally a man :lmao::lmao: you've just signed up for two things that you better know how to do well!
carhill Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Please tell me that most women do not feel this way? Let's put it this way. If the guy is hot and the lady is with him (LTR/married), then cooking, and even cooking with flair, does not diminish her view of him. As a single man of average 'attractiveness', IMO enjoying cooking, meaning sharing it, helping, talking about it, has indeed slackened the lanyard on the flagpole, meaning lowered attraction. I was single and gave killer parties for many years so had much experience with the dynamic. Even the married women felt a bit strange being served by me and talking about recipes and how to dress a table and select a wine, bla bla. Yeah, looking back, it almost sounds gay. The good news is I don't care anymore. Being married broke me of caring what women think. Thank God. In your marriage, you cooking your loving wife a wonderful candlelit dinner for her birthday will be one of the most memorable things you can do for her, IMO. Hope it goes well
freestyle Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 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. ya know Wogs, this makes me wonder......... Maybe these two are messin' with you on purpose , simply because you are the only guy that isn't chasing after them..............You bruised their egos with your indifference... Next time one of them makes a snarky comment like that, look 'em right in the face and laugh. Or say,"Jealous?".....maybe that'll shut 'em up. hmm......
norajane Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Really, Woggle? You know what makes you less of a man? Letting someone else's opinion make you question yourself and your "manhood". Especially when the someone elses are the cheating twins whom you have no respect for anyway. Why would you take anything that they said to heart? I'm surprised you're letting them get to you and eat away at your self esteem.

They tell me that deep down most women feel like they do. You have GOT to be kidding me! Most women???? I don't know ONE woman who feels that way. NOT ONE! Obviously they get to you and they know it. That's probably what half the highfiving is about. Do you believe for one minute your wife is anything like the cheating twins??? If she knew you had so little faith in her then THAT would rightfully eat at her attraction for you.
quankanne Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 They tell me that deep down most women feel like they do. wog, honey, time to rename them "The Moron Twins," because that's what they are. Plain stupid. I love the fact that my husband does a bulk of the cooking in our marriage, because frankly, he's more willing to experiment with food and spice combinations and he's good at it. I've got a handful of recipes that I consider outstanding, and the rest is plain "fill your tummy" grub. So to see a man (real life or on TV) who is at ease and creative in the kitchen is a real treat. I think your wife is going to really love the fact that you're doing something for her that says, "I do this for you because I love and appreciate you so much." And really, that's the biggest compliment a man can give someone he loves. ignore The Moron Girls, they're just dumbass skanks who think their opinion on things actually matter

So to see a man (real life or on TV) who is at ease and creative in the kitchen is a real treat. There you go, Woggle. If it makes you feel better about yourself, consider yourself a scientist instead of a cook or a chef. Cooking is all about chemistry and chemical reactions of various ingredients under different heating and cooling conditions. Mixtures, emulsions, suspensions, gases, liquids, solids, thermodynamics...at a basic level, it's also physics...and biology...and botany...all rolled into one laboratory: the kitchen.

I don't know why but this is seriously getting to me. NO WAY. I love it when my boyfriend cooks for me (and I love cooking for him). It's a hobby for both of us, and we share recipes and teach each other. It definitely doesn't make him "less of a man." It's hot. Plus, his father, a buff old Navy vet, went to culinary school a few years ago, so it's not exactly a girly thing. That woman who made that snide comment is a f-ing b-tch.
Hot Carl Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 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! This I agree with. I've known countless women who get real interested when they run across a guy who can keep the place clean and have dinner ready when they get home from the office. If you are thoughtful enough to have a glass of wine in your hand when you meet them at the door, and if you also know how to give a good foot rub while listening intently to tales of the rat race, all the better. Woggle, if you want some good quiche recipes, PM me.
carhill Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Carl, you just described my marriage The ultimate compliment was, and I quote, 'I could just have had a bowl of cereal'. And you wonder why I was having sex with my hand

I don't know why but this is seriously getting to me. Firstly, cookery skills do not make you any less "manly." Secondly, and far more importantly, I believe "the twins" committed rather serious workplace harassment based on their perception of your sexual and/or gender identification. They accused you in a derogatory manner of being a transvestite, or homosexual, or potentially being so, which was the point of the comment about wearing a dress. (The fact that there is no logical connection between being able to cook and a person's sexual or gender orientation is beside the point. That just makes it all the more stupid that they did it.) I would definitely make a formal complaint to your employer's equal opportunity office, civil rights office, or similar division which deals with this sort of stuff. These beotches need to be put in their place. And fast.
Chrome Barracuda Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Are you kidding me when i was out on my own i had to cook. Doesnt make you any less of a man that you know how to cook. That girl Wog was an idiot. Does she even know how to cook, or does people spit what she makes out? lol.
IfWishesWereHorses Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Woggle, if you want some good quiche recipes, PM me. Bad Carl!
cooldudeinberlin Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Ive never heard that cooking makes you less than a man....ha ha ha ha... I wont even disclose how many times Ive "sealed the deal" through my gastronomic arts... a man that cooks isnt that rare, but rare enough... and very seldom if he is any good... it simply blows women away if you can do it with style, get the house looking good, light some candles, know how to set the mood, etc. Nothing more seductive than the art of dining... I would have to question someone's experience out in life or their age to think cooking is a "woman's job"... seriously... what country and what century are they living in?
cooldudeinberlin Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Easily answered: most likely because you are a presumptuous and a bit insecure. If you wish to address me, why dont you address me directly, as a mature adult, otherwise you will have no credibility with me. Not that I need to explain anything to YOU, but Im new on the forum, looking around and posting where I can help. Both ironic and hypocritical your little signature...
Trimmer Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) You know what makes you less of a man? Letting someone else's opinion make you question yourself and your "manhood".

They tell me that deep down most women feel like they do. Uh... (1) you hear them talk about cooking and how it makes men look; (2) you wonder if it makes you less of a man, and less attractive to your wife. That's not eating at your self-esteem? "I do not think it means what you think it means..." Inigo Montoya Maybe these two are messin' with you on purpose , simply because you are the only guy that isn't chasing after them..............You bruised their egos with your indifference... Maybe they are messing with him? Maybe? C'mon, these gals know how to light him up like a pinball shot through the bonus gate, and they are merciless, because they are so successful, and they are enjoying the hell out of it. Total feedback loop. He doesn't give them one thing they want (validating them by chasing them) so they rip away at him, and he validates them by reacting. They control him either way. Interestingly, that's a kind of a common male trait the girls are exhibiting, isn't it: You need to control it, so if you can't f**k it, the next best thing is to destroy it. Please tell me that most women do not feel this way? I don't know why but this is seriously getting to me. Much more interesting than the direct question of your post is the implied question you bring up yourself: why is this seriously getting to you? You have such a need to find evidence to validate your negative views of women as a whole gender, that you accept the apparent views of two people who should have absolutely NO credibility whatsoever. But it's a juicy piece of evidence that you need to fit into your puzzle, and you are desperate to find a way to believe it, in spite of its ridiculousness, and the absurd source from which it comes. There's a dissonance between your need to find and collect and savor this negative evidence that supports your feelings, and your intellectual side that understands that these women are the last ones you should be using as representative examples. This creates an incredible contortion as you try to reconcile it all. That's why it is "seriously getting to you." Edited March 30, 2010 by Trimmer
