It's not that I can't cook. I can, I'm good at baking. It's just I don't like cooking! It takes too long and I'm not patient... AT ALL!

All this crap about the way to a man's heart is food. WTF!
Food is a big deal, but girls can't cook these days. It's a fact of life that men will have to accept.

Women insist a man pay for the dates, provide for her, etc. She damn well better know how to cook, healthy. No processed, boxed or canned meals.

Now to be truthful. Any grown adult, man or woman, should know how to cook healthy meals. There is NO excuse to not. This crap about men being the provider, paying for dates, doing all the yardwork, etc, and women being the cooks, doing all the housework, not paying for dates, etc, all of these antiquated gender roles cannot die fast enough imo.

I actually do find it sort of a turn off a girl can't cook. It's just so hot when a woman can cook a full meal.

Not all women insist on that. I provide for myself.

OK, I can see that. But should she be expected to do it on a daily basis? If she also works and 8-hr. job?

Nah of course not. I find cooking to be kinda fun sometimes. I don't mind pitching in. But once in a while it's really nice to have it prepared by a woman you're actually interested in. Know what I mean?

Totally. And visa-versa. Taking turns and treating each other can really do good things for a couple. I think some people forget about that give-and-take. Reciprocity is key.

Absolutely. There are some girls who like to cook and I think a lot of them get with guys who take advantage of that. But as a man you have to always remember that everyone likes to get what they give at some point too.

Basically just repeated what you said but oh well!
