Women's liberation,
burning bras, equal pay for equal work, it was all supposed to make us
equal. So, why is it that women can't cook anymore?
Let me
give you a couple of examples (not necessarily in order, or about the same
person
Example 1:
Girl spends the
night and decides to be nice by cooking breakfast. At first this sounds great,
except she attempts to cook the hash browns in a pot used for boiling. The hash
browns end up burning almost ruining the pot, and the house filled with smoke. The hash browns came from a bag.
Example 2:
Girl lives next door
to her parents. So instead of cooking for herself, she just walk over to her
mother whenever she is hungry. Fully admits that she can't cook, and has no
desire to learn how to cook. Not an issue until her mother passes away, or she
moves to a location not next door.
Example 3:
Went out with a girl and mentioned I liked open faced
turkey sandwiches. So later on, to be nice she offers to cook me one. I gladly
accept, not knowing she actually has no idea what one is. She shows up with
some left over turkey and basically tries to make a regular turkey sandwich,
just without putting the two halves together.
Example 4:
This is more of an
honest mistake, but funny enough to call it out here. A girl I was seeing, went
to put a frozen pizza in the oven. A while later we go to check on it, and
notice the smoke from underneath it, where she forgot to remove the cardboard
from the underneath side of the wrapping.
Moving beyond the
examples, in most relationships I'm in, I have a tendency to do most of the
cooking. A good friend of mine, always does the cooking in his relationship. He
is a good cook, so great, but still interesting to note that he does most of
the cooking as do I. now before I get a
response from a bunch of angry women, this blog is about my experience and that
I would say more than half the people in relationship I know, the men do most
of the cooking. This doesn’t' mean, there are not plenty of women who also do
cooking, and not that I am saying there is anything wrong with it, but it is interesting to note the dynamic
change over the years. And it would be
nice to get invited over for dinner and not have to pretend to like whatever
the girl is cooking for me.
Comments
All people, whether male or female, have their strengths and weaknessess. When people decide to become involved, the best relationships are the ones where the two individuals complement each other. One person picks up where the other is not the most strong and vice versa. That's being in a relationship. That's commitment. That's just life.
If you spend your life focusing on everything that's wrong with the girls you date, you will never really experience the joys of being with someone just for the hell of being with them because you want to be...regardless of all the imperfections that you perceive they have.
Reading this and knowing you (as I'm sure you know the author of this comment) and knowing how you think about most women, I hope you're able to let go of some of these pre-judgements so that you can find your happily (or un-happily) ever after. I assume TCM would prefer an un-happily ever after.
I've always believed that you can make the honeymoon stage last forever if you learn how to compromise, accept and forgive. As infuriating as you are sometimes, deep down lies a good man who's just dying to be respectful to a woman...hope you find her!
