orangele Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Having come from a family of very good cooks, I picked up techniques growing up and also learned alot about cooking for myself as a bachelor for many years. With the exception of one GF, the rest could not cook very well. When my current GF cooks, I can't help watching her and making comments about what she did wrong. I know that she is trying her best, but for some reason when it comes to cooking, I can't keep my mouth shut. I enjoy my food (although I am not fat at all), and I find it hard to lie when asked about the result when I saw the mistakes making it. Have others experienced this inability to keep quiet about cooking?
johan Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Sounds like a lack of humility on your part. You let your opinion that you know the right way and she doesn't get in the way of the truth. Note I said it's your opinion, not a matter of fact. The truth is probably something like this: she's trying her best and would be really happy to think you liked it. You've made the whole thing about you.
Merin Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 IF you don't like the way she cooks and you think you can do better then why don't you do the cooking 1
Author orangele Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 I have no problem in cooking. In fact in my previous relationship I did 95% of the cooking and my GF gained 20 lbs in two years. I even asked her to allow me to do all the cooking.
ahab Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 well, i have eaten at a lot of places, and i am not a very picky eater. i usually compliment people when they cook, even though i have to choke it down on occasion to be polite.. But i have been in captive situations , like working on a tug boat where a cook prepares 3 squares a day, and this cook took me aside and said he never wanted me to choke something down that i didnt like. this was his job, sometimes he made a mistake, and these doors were made on this boat to throw that crap overboard if i didnt like it, and I didnt have to feel bad about doing it. it was honest, he was a great cook, plus he was a man who wasnt as sensitive. i guess maybe you should should be honest, but not brutally so. maybe just make suggestions or something. A lot of women want "complete honesty" in a relationship, but then they cant handle the truth. They would rather be lied to to massage their ego, while you are feeding the dog under the table or going bolemic to purge yourself of their vile concoction!!! cooking is a subjective thing, but you also dont have to be a bull to know a good piece of steak. some of it is fact, and not opinion. some people just cant cook. You just have to find a more sensitive approach, try to cook more yourself, lie and choke it down, or find a different cook. being a cook yourself, you know you are dealing in a dangerous area also. criticize the cook, and you can find yourself in distress on the porcelain throne in a heartbeat!!!!!
Yeah Right Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah.. you do the cooking....and practice not being a total jerk. Honestly, you remind me of my own boyfriend...and just in case by some WILD chance you ARE him, let me tell you what I should have told him a long damned time ago. If you don't like it, suck it up you dumbass and don't hurt my feelings! Don't say you don't mean to hurt me when you know good and well it IS going to hurt me! Hell, you even admit it here in this stupid thread you started...... So.... Get off your ass and go buy me some flowers or something! And I don't want roses! THINK about it yourself! It's not going to kill you but I promise you'll think you are dying when you don't get laid for awhile buddy!

I even asked her to allow me to do all the cooking. I think that's missing the point. She's trying to do her part, she's trying to do something nice, and she'd like to have some appreciation, not criticism. It shouldn't matter how good a job she does. If she brought overcooked hot dogs to the table, you should still be able to kiss her, thank her and tell her you enjoy it. You might go ahead and do all the cooking yourself, but you'd be rejecting her. You're making it about you and her feelings don't matter to you. She's not an employee.
Grneyedmeanbitch Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Oh my gosh! That post by Yeah Right cracks me up!!!
Me too~ Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Yeah Right has told it like it is! ROFLMAO!!! You go girl!!!! Hawwwwwww!
LaughingMyARSEOFF Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 RoflmAo! Girl, you have tickled me to DEATH! Are you really this a**h***s girl?! Surely not!!! I agree with you 100%. It really irks me that some people are so insensitive that they are just crudely RUDE and obnoxious. If I were you, (or whomever this unlucky girl is that is with this creep) I'd fix a dinner that looked like it came out of Martha's kitchen, but low and behold, it would be so full of Tobasco sauce it would burn his mouth to the point he couldn't complain and be the cry baby he is. And yeah! GO BUY HER SOME FLOWERS you dumb ass! (Thanks for making me laugh Yeah Right! Thumbs up to you!)
