| Would a man being a chef put you off dating him?
Posted: 7/11/2008 4:44:33 PM | I don't really know why a woman would feel threatened or insecure if they were dating a chef, to be honest. My two best male friends, one is a chef, and the other ought to be (or at least, he's certainly skilled enough that he could easily be a chef if he wanted). I consider myself to be a pretty good cook, and any time I've had these friends over for dinner or a barbecue, they've never come to criticize my cooking, they've just come to have a good time and relax with friends. Actually, I probably bug them more, asking them for tips and professional hints, lol, when all they probably want to do is relax and leave their professional side at home. 
I did get a kick out of the comment about everyone assuming that dating a chef would mean he'd want to cook every night after doing it all day at work...kind of like dating a mechanic, but your car is still waiting in the driveway for a tuneup. | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 10:03:31 PM | Absolutely not, I have a friend who loves to cook for a crowd, so we all bring something to his house once in a while and let him pamper us! Some singles find it hard to cook for just one person, so this way everyone gets to try out something new. I think tomorrow night it's barbecued salmon with his own secret sauce, sounds good to me!

Posted: 7/30/2008 3:35:28 AM | HELL YES! I could not date a man who was a chef!
Number One: I have no self-control whatsoever, and would end up eating anything, and everything he prepared.
Number Two: I would probably forgo my vegetarian diet and become a circus oddity and forever be known as the " world's largest woman".
For the same reason I don't date Capricorns... they have NO sense of control either and MAKE me indulge.
It could get ugly...... | |

It took two pages of responses for one woman to get it right? Ouch!
Wha? No wasnt a good enough answer?
The question was....

Posted: 7/30/2008 6:48:30 AM | I would have him working when he was off of work from being a chef. I would think up all my favorite dishes and have him make them for me. I would think if a male took serious the trade of chef he could go very far on the financial scale also.
Your trade should be a virtue with todays woman, because it is common for us to be on the go go go in our own career and cooking isn't so much just for us to do any longer. | |

Oh really?
Are you also going to put up with the varying hours and days with a lot of it occuring on weekends especially Friday and Saturday nights. How about his attitude when he gets off work?
I work in 120-130 degrees in the summertime easily for hours at a time and I'm not Mr. Happy Go Lucky when I get off either. I'm drenched in sweat for most of the day and I'm tired as hell. For a woman to put up with that, she has to be really, really understanding. | |

Posted: 7/30/2008 7:12:07 AM | The crappy attitude is a deal breaker. That has nothing to do with what you do and everything to do with who you are.
Crappy attitude is not uncommon in hard working men in any profession, your point is invalid. | |

No, that's where you are being absolute and you are wrong. And attitude has nothing to do with it. You can't seriously expect someone who's been on their feet all day working in sizzling heat to feel the same as someone who's been sitting on their ass all day in an air conditioned office when they get off work. There's a difference in attitude hun and being physically dead tired and drained.
I'm not saying come home and beat the dog here or treat anyone with disrespect or with a bad attitude. I am saying that you have to be really understanding of how demanding a job like that is. And if you can't, then don't say you would marry someone like that.
Here's something for you to consider. There are some days when I step outside in 90 degree weather and COOL down. When others are whining about how hot it is, that's when I'm not sweating. And I come on here and have a pretty descent attitude I'd say considering the fact that I went through 8 hours of it. | |

Posted: 7/30/2008 7:38:55 AM | Your job isn't any more physically demanding than mine.
I've heard this argument from men all my life. Lately I've decided that they are a bunch of whining pansies.
Toughen up and quit yer bitchin'. | |

Posted: 7/30/2008 7:44:39 AM | Toughen up and quit yer ****in'.
What do you do then?
And I'll trade ya.
And I am tough. A lot more than you think I am.
Run 2 miles a day, lift weights and then go work. EVERYDAY. How in the hell do you think I can do all that? I don't use work as an excuse for anything or else I wouldn't do what I do. But there are limits.

How about the attitudes of mothers everywhere, who besides being cooks, are also on their feet 15 hours a day being coaches, babysitters, running households, and holding down full-or-part-time jobs? Most of them can't afford to be "tired as hell" and expect everyone around them to adjust to their moods. They have to be On On On nearly 24 hrs/day.
Is your job demanding? Absolutely. My eldest brother is a chef at a fancy hotel/restaurant in CA so I do know a little about it. But somehow he and his wife make it work.
My sister, on the other hand, is busy raising four kids, working full time, running a household, and still trying to find time to be with her fiancee. And quite frankly, I think her life is just as demanding as my brother, if not more so.
The point is, ALL relationships are demanding, regardless of profession. And despite how many hours you work or how hot it is, or how tired you are, you still have to be willing to make an effort if you are dating someone. And if you are willing to make that effort, than you can make it work in almost any given situation, no matter how difficult it is. | |

I'm not sitting here saying it's not. And I also would take it into consideration as to how their day went. What I'm trying to figure out here is what is expected of someone in this field? | |
