| arcane_chaos said: cooking is usually seen as somewhat of a "female duty" but in my expiriences, cooking has been somewhat of a "chick magnet" capability(well for me), growing up with a family where a majority of them are female, most of my days growing up were spent watching my mom, grandmother, 2 aunts, my sister cooking,(even my grandfather taught me some cooking lessons) with many years of watching and helping, it seems cooking can pay off. I've baked cupcakes/cakes and other treats for past gf's(one time I even cooked for one of my ex's parents). hell I even cooked for some of my guy friends(to anyone cooking for your guys friends...don't wear a apron when cooking...-_-...or fry bacon shirtless) cooking is not only for impressing the ladies, but I think it's a somewhat vital skill, I don't think it's good if your just out for food all the time(coming from a fat man lol) P.S. and no, the microwave doesn't count :p |
I suck at baking bread and sweets, but I can cook many other things, pasta, sauces for it, risotto and other rice dishes, stews, sautées, soups, breaded and fried cutlets, grilled meats, fishes and other seafood, salads, fruit salads and even sushi and tempura. I make also a decent pizza using piadina or other very flat breads as a base (again, to bypass my poor skills at baking).
One of my ex girlfriends thought I'm sexy when I cook (and actually I cook a lot better than her, so the benefit was double 
).
Men can be very good at cooking, most of the best chefs in the world are men. Normally, though, men totally suck at tidying the kitchen up after they cook. So when I got a gf that loves me cooking , I cook, she gets horny and she tidies up, so the benefit is actually triple. 
BTW, microwave can be used to cook not necessarily precooked food, you can prepare some tasty simple recipes with it, for example I cut raw potatoes in halves, fill them with what I fancy at the moment, put the halves back together, wrap in oven paper and microwave them, the result is very good, tastier than boiled or steamed (although I find a simple potato with nothing added, except a little salt and butter after cooking, cooked under smouldering wood ashes even tastier). Microwave is also good to prepare rice for sushi and salads, but not for risotto.
