Girls says "I wish you knew more about cooking"

[00Kevin]

A girl I've been dating for a bit recently told me that she wished I knew more about cooking.

I was very insulted by this remark.

This girl is an expert at cooking. Why the **** would she want me to be one? What is she doing sizing me up for marriage already? That kind of **** scares the hell out of me.

We never finished the conversation and quite frankly as a result of this she is almost on my next list.

I'm going to tell her off and that is it.. I'm so sick of these *****es with all these feminist concepts in their head.

**** her.. I am not a f-ucken cook and I never fu-cken will cook half the meals!

I should also point out that I do know how to cook a few things. but that isn't my focus in a relationship at all.

In fact she is the one that should have to cook for me!


I'm interested in knowing how some of you guys would respond. Keep in mind I'm only interested in an LTR. If she was a fling.. I would care what she said.

"how bout you cook, and I eat?"


Seriously dude, is it really necessary to get so worked up because of a little comment? You've been here a while, you should know better.

 

[00Kevin]

it isn't that one little comment.. it is the last straw for me. I'm just sick of women like that. They don't respect men for being men.

I could be wrong but it sounds to me that she is just saying that she wants to see how flexible/adaptable you are. You gotta choose your battles. I say give in a little and leave the fight for more important issues in your relationship.

BTW, it would be nice is you did help her cook some. I do all the cooking in my relationship but thats because I enjoy cooking as it is one of my life passions. :woo:

read in david d. that its actually good to know how to cook a few good meals, it has its advantages.

Desserts are easy to "cook." Vanilla Ice cream, smucker's syrup, whip cream, and a cherry on top makes you a dessert chef - and gives you a reason to just happen to have a can of whip cream in the house. It's a very sexual item; even if you don't use it for that, the implications are still there.

I wish you knew more about swallowing, b!tching less, cleaning etc etc (insert her shortcoming)

But in all fairness chicks do get impressed with a man who can cook up a storm, I can whip up a curry thats guaranteed to blow any b!tches pants off, I'm proud of my cooking skills.

 

[penkitten]

are her cooking skills lacking?

 

[salsipuedes]

I dont understand why you are so angry about this, shes obviously into cooking, and maybe she wishes you where too, no big deal. I would have told her to teach me by cooking for me.

 

[00Kevin]

She does know how to cook, infact she teaches cooking. but I'm just not that kind of guy. I don't eat many fancy meals and I generally don't waste my time cooking for myslef. I do how ever know how to make a few decent meals.

When she told me that she teaches cooking I was impressed because that is a good quality in a woman. I thought she would be a woman that would end up cooking for me. But then when I found out that she is just like every other modern bi-tch out there it really pissed me off.

The reason I'm insulted is that I can already sense that this is bull****.. I'd be willing to bet that in a LTR she would just start complaint routine just like every other b-itch does.

I don't know if this is true but I've heard that the majority of the great chefs of the world are men. I know from experience that women do think highly of men that can cook. And no, it doesn't mean that the man has to cook for them, but in most LTRs women greatly appreatiate a man that can help them (or they can help) in the kitchen.

Cooking just falls into the category of traits that women appreciate in men where his masculinity is defined by what he does and not by what he doesn't do.

Not sure you'd want any sex after that

 

[diablo]

She could have been implying that your cooking sucks. I don't think it's any less "manly" for a guy to know how to make good meals consisting of more than bread, peanut butter, and jelly. Just because you have the ability to whip up an awesome dish doesn't mean that you have to be at home cooking dinner for your wife before she gets back from work...

Don't get so worked up over such a small thing. Hell, if she wants to teach you how to cook then why not learn? Other people pay her a lot of money to get what you'll get for free... same can be said to someone dating a prostitute.

 

[Luveno]

Dude, snap out of it!


To hell with all this masculine crap. Cooking is an art. EVERYONE likes food that tastes good.

Your relationship probably won't last long, so get what you can out of it. And what that is, is FREE COOKING LESSONS!

If you cook good meals for yourself, you will love it! I love to cook and I'd be thrilled to have the opportunity to be taught how to be a better cook.

Don't be such a stubborn arse and improve your culinary skills! It'll help you in the future. Trust me.

Sure, here's what I think:

Don't be a ****ing ***** and assume that because you are born with a penis and she is born with a vagina you are required to fulfill certain roles in a relationship. Don't assume men who cook somehow subjugate themselves or that you are less of a man if you don't always act as the dominant member. Learn to ****in share in a relationship, its not a game of pick-up or a quick trip to sex, learn to fulfill a role not because of what dangles between your leg but because of what you're good at. If you're a better cook than she is, then cook, if she's a better cook than you, than she cooks, but get these stupid archaic gender constructs out of your mind. If she wants you to occasionally cook to help get the load off her back, then be a man and help your partner out.

 

[Q-Pid]

Learn hwo to cook or don't lol. **** sake man don't throw a hissy *****fit.

 

[spider_007]

learn haw to trow a mean BBQ,

that's all you need to know.

 

[Qmanchoo]

First, you're blowing this way off base here if you call her up to tell her off about...a cooking comment you thought was an insult? lol, she'll probably leave. Stop being so immature and completely blind and look at this for what she was REALLY saying....

She's trying to relate to you, one of her _passions_ in life is cooking, if you're an expert at something it's (hopefully) because you love it. That is not one of your passions and she's probably thinking how cool it would be if you two could relate on that level but you can't, she probably said that because she's disappointed that she wont be able to share that with you not to insult you! Now unless this girl has a black heart and just wanted to insult you (which she probably doesn't) that's most likely the case.

You have to sit down and think about why you're having such an immature reaction to this man, if you blew up in front of her she'd probably never see you again and it would have been because of your over reaction.

And for the love of god...listen to diplomatic_lies he speaks the truth. lol

Grilling out is manly. Try Italian dressing as a marinade.

 

[TheDarkSaint]

My grandfather has your same attitude. Women should cook, not men.

Thus, he goes hungry and can't make his own sandwich when she had a hip replacement. He never learned how to work a microwave. My grandmother treats him like a moron when it comes to food.

If you wish to be a moron and be dependent on a woman instead of being independent, go right ahead.
