Women, when a man has you over his place and prepares you a nice homemade meal, and the presentation is great as well as the taste, how much of a turn-on is it? Does it heighten the chances you'll sleep with him afterwards? This assuming you're already dating or that you're on the threshold of becoming a couple.

If so - what exactly is it that is so enticing or charming or whatever about a man who knows his way around the kitchen and can present you with a yummy and well-presented meal?

And, also - if the alcohol accompanying the dinner is wine, does it matter how he serves you... does a decanter, or does he serving it after briefly explaining the name and type of wine, etc, as a waiter/sommelier would, mean anything?

Men who drink wine are called gay.

You sound like you're trying hard to get laid.

I am not impressed by a man cooking or serving wine. These are things all grown-ups are supposed to know how to do.

Eh, who actually does this these days? I would think a women would think you were trying too hard. But I may be wrong.

I think a couple steaks and Budweiser would go along just fine .

OK - but in your experience, none of the fellas you dated ever did this for you AND impressed you in the process? Do you then say you expect men to know how to cook, and if he doesn't, does that diminish him as far as you're concerned?

I don't cook. So I really enjoy it when a man cooks! I enjoy formal dining so a special dinner at home is a winner for me. Yes, going a bit out of his way for a nice bottle of wine is very nice.

It is a big turn on provided he actually prepared the meal. The only man that ever prepared a very tasty and nicely presented meal I found out later he didnt actually prepare it.

No. well, maybe.

I suspose the same things men find appealing about women that cook and present a meal well. Knowing the person cares enough to go to the trouble, knowing you wont be expected to prepare all the meals in the relationship. And there is just something appealing about a man that is not above doing things that are considered "womans work"

I would prefer he not go on about the wine like he is some expert. As long as he pours it in a glass and dosent serve it in the bottle wrapped in a brown paper bag. Now, you really need PTC's input on this.

I love it when a guy cooks for me and it's GOOD. I also enjoy a person who has at least a little knowledge of fine wines. I don't think it means you are gay at all , more like cultured.
