| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/17/2008 7:18:44 PM | I have yet to meet a woman in person who let's me control the kitchen. They say they like a man who cooks, but don't meet me cuz I live in a mobile home. I refuse to buy a half million dollar house just for me and 3 cats. I stopped driving my 4x4 to work and bought a scooter to save $225 a month on gas.
As for the other post, a whole pizza lasts me 1 meal. i make my own bbq sauce and sweet & sour sauce. Let that cook in the crock pot while at work all day. During the week I cook 1 meal a day as I eat at work. | |

Heh. Ok I'll cook if you're really, really good. And you're sticking around awhile. | |

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/17/2008 11:08:36 PM | | I reserve my cooking for special occasions. Save the bi-weekly BBQ's. I think as a guy I find it easier to throw a salad together with a bunch of precooked chicken or reheat leftovers because I'm not necessarily interested in how it tastes. Moreso just interested in satiating that feeling of hunger in my belly. However. On those said special occasions I do pride myself on my ability to prepare a well made meal, just as I think any guy would. And I'm not talking about boiling some premade pasta and sauce and throwing a candle on the table. I'm saying spending an entire afternoon preparing a high grade dinner, I myself for special occasions will make sushi for my guests. | |

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/18/2008 3:49:53 AM | | I can cook all the things I like to eat (except pizza place quality pizza) and pretty much anything that has a recipe, but I eat out about half the time. It's not because I have to, it's because I like to. I don't enjoy cooking, I enjoy eating. I'd rather talk to someone or read the newspaper while a professional cooks my food, thank you. If a woman wants me to cook for her, I'll be glad to, but I'd really rather be going down on her while the chef and delivery men take care of the nourishment chores. I like to think most women would like that option. | |

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/18/2008 6:10:15 AM | Why can't you fix your own car, woman!
Seriously, most of the guys in my circle of friends are very accomplished cooks.....even some of the women, too.
Find a guy who likes good wine...chances are he can cook well, too. | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/18/2008 9:46:06 AM | | I think it's no different then you women. I cook when I have company, but if it's just me, simple and healthy is really all I care about. | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/18/2008 9:55:18 AM | For me, I don't enjoy cooking. It is a necessary evil. I do eat at home more with all this craziness with the economy so I concentrate on meals that are healthy and simple, mostly fresh fruits, veggies and lean meats. I don't cook elaborate meals. If I want a quality elaborate meal I will eat out at a quality restaurant. That is what makes it a treat for me. I get something I could probably cook myself but I don't have to cook it and it is done by a professional.
I can cook rather well and if I enjoyed doing it, I would do it more often and get rather good at it. But I choose not to. Just as I choose not to get good at housework and have hired a housekeeper. Transferable activities, would I rather spend my time cleaning the house and cooking or doing something I actually enjoy doing. I vote for the latter. That is why I work so hard, so I can have the free time to do what I don't and hire for the things I don't. | |

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/19/2008 10:23:02 PM | | i worked a pizza place for 4 years. i mix pizza dough in my bread maker and toss the pizza. cheaper than buying delivery. | |

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/19/2008 10:51:25 PM | | If I'm cooking a meal, that takes away from the carp bait I'm cooking. I can't handle the distraction when I'm try get the timing and the recipe perfect. If it helps, the carp don't like ramen or salad, either. | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/19/2008 10:54:01 PM | I am a trained chef. I learned to cook at age 10 because I was taught by my grandmother.
Truthfully I rarely tell women this, since it seems to annoy women when a man cooks better then they do. Its not a competition after all -- but some women truly seem insulted over it. Sometimes it is better to plead ignorance on this skill set.

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/19/2008 11:03:03 PM | In my area at least, men are becoming much capable in their gastronomical endeavors unlike their female counterparts.
I have met a bunch of women that can bake like no other, but I would crush (visualize Dolph Lungren from Rocky) them in a cook off, respectfully.
I would bet that most guys just keep their cooking down to a minimum to avoid pandering! | |

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/19/2008 11:08:14 PM |
but when u dotn find that girl what do u do then huh?
I keep for one that does.
This may be 2008, but I still like a woman who cooks. We don't ask you to change the transmission in the car, so why is it a big deal if we cook or not? | |

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/20/2008 12:53:22 AM | Sometimes guys eat salads because they have diabetes like I do.
I used to cook for my GF because she didn't cook at all & I had cereal when she wasn't around for dinner because it was quick & easy. | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/20/2008 2:26:39 AM | Hey! You ever try to hook a large Carp? Talk about your fussy eaters! Try cooking for something that stinks like a landfill when you finally reel it in, gives you attitude, and doesn't even say thank you. Word has it the slimy beggars don't even taste that great.
OP, you find an easier, more effective Carp bait, and I'll concentrate on cooking for myself more. Till then, I'm just going to go the simplest route, like London Broil,7 Bean Stew, and Corn on the Cob , and the like. | |

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/20/2008 4:19:57 PM | | I'm very lucky! My boyfriend cooks every single meal from breakfast with omelettes and mimosas to dinners of all kinds (vietnamese, rolades, gorgeous pastas mmm, thats probably why I have to go to the gym so often).. I can't cook at all, and last time even in the microwave started a bit of a fire ( I'm very embarassed to admit ), i'm very thankful to have such a wonderful guy! | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/20/2008 6:01:25 PM | i did prep in the pizza place for 4 years..making sauces and chopping veggies.thats why it's so easy for me. i make a spaghetti sauce and lasagna mamma mia cant touch. any woman wanna have a cooking contest come to vegas and lets find a kitchen. | |

i will live off of ramen and kd! i will have cereal if that's the only thing left. i'm too lazy to cook! luckily, i'm dating someone who can...woot! hehehehe | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/23/2008 1:14:56 PM | I don't cook because I just don't enjoy it.
Yes, I CAN cook, but it's a pain in the a$$ and I only do it when I FEEL like it.
I eat a lot of fruit and salads. | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/23/2008 2:52:11 PM | | I cooked some Farfalle pasta with three cheese pasta sauce tonight! I like to cook relatively simple stuff like pasta, meats and vegetables. I also like to make bruschetta but that's not cooking, lol. I love to eat it on WASA bread, but I'm always putting stuff on multi-grain WASA. It's not exactly normal bread though, it's like a super tasty, nutritional, massive cracker. I make it unhealthy sometimes by putting butter on it and then slicing some pepperoni and putting that on top, haha! The cats love pepperoni too, so they always force me to share when I make pepperoni WASA. :-) | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/23/2008 4:26:36 PM | I had aman tell me once that the reason why he didn't cook well, he thinks it's a woman's job. LMAO! Needless, to say, I had some fun with him. He had an upset stomach that night and all the next day because it was not a smart thing to say, especially to me. Try using cat wormer next time the prick you're with says it's your ****ing job to do the cooking! I don't think it will last very long after that, do you? | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/23/2008 4:58:16 PM | I learned to cook pretty well, partly because I thought it would come in handy if I ever wanted to do a dine-in date with a lady. Mostly though, I did it for nutrition's sake when I was trying to lose weight. No more Kraft Dinner and microwave dinners for me thx. About the fanciest thing I can make is spaghetti with homemade veggie/meat sauce, but at least I can feed myself without the nuker.  | |

| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/23/2008 5:03:19 PM | hawk,, you were quite the mature woman,,NOT... even though the guy said something you may not have liked,, your actions certainly spoke louder than words,,,  | |
|
| why dont u cook!!! Posted: 7/24/2008 6:12:13 AM | | Yeah I honestly find that a bit dangerous Hawk. What if that stuff had a bad reaction and killed him somehow?! You'd be totally screwed for life. Giving people medications intended for animals is kind of stupid and possibly dangerous IMO. Laxatives would be childish, but cat de-wormer is just plain crazy! | |
