Proof?

Oh, of course! Just take my word for it. Getting back to the topic, I find that most guys have a specialty. As in, they are great at grilling or have a few dishes they excel at. Am I wrong?

LOL, I actually learned how to cook from being a bachelor until I was 35 plus most of the woman I had relationships didn't know how to cook worth a sh!t. They were always too busy prepping for Beauty Contests and posing for Playboy;)

I smell some BS!
You think?????

:D

I think people who can't cook are in a real big freakin hurry. But people who use a mix to make brownies are lazy, brownies almost as easy to make from ingredients as scrambled eggs.

I can't cook anything. It is not because I find following directions difficult. It is simply that I cannot be bothered to put forth any effort into the food I eat. I could eat turkey sandwhiches for every meal and it wouldn't bother me.

I can cook if I have to, but my opinion of guys who can't is still :thumbsup:.

Non-cooking man, it's ok. You're still a man! <insert caveman noises here>

I can't cook, don't like to cook, and don't see any compelling reason to put forth any great effort into it. I prefer to spend my limited time in the evenings doing something besides cooking. Why don't you holier-than-thou people put your money where your mouth is and cook me some dinner?

That's because you are TRYING. If men tried, they would all be better, just like everything else in the world.

I can cook if you count chopping a few things up and stirring in a sauce. Most of my meals take no more then 40mins to make though. The few times i have got adventurous and spent several hours trying to make something nice i have always been disappointed by the end result. Kinda puts me off trying so hard now.

My Dad has it just about right at home. He cooks about 4 times a week. By cooking though i mean my mum chops everything up, prepares it all and my dad stirs it together in a saucepan - then takes responsibility for making such a great meal....

40 minutes? I get antsy cooking noodles that take 10. I don't mind eating meals that someone else cooks that take a long time, but I can't stand waiting on something to cook in the toaster oven or something for even 20 minutes. :(

Women are naturally better at lying, cheating, stealing, and spending their SO's money(verify with Pepsei, he KNOWS)

P.S. I consider my fiancee a mutant female, she doesnt do any of the above except for the last one.
