How my dad explained the importance of learning to cook

Your dad is a wise man. I hope your mother is a happy woman.

as my dad explained it: you can take a girl out to dinner, spend a lot of money, and moderately impress her. OR you can cook dinner, spend a lot less money, and REALLY impress her...the choice is obvious

And that's how I really met your mother.

Hi, female here! Yes, this works. At least for me. The fact that someone made a meal from scratch gives them a lot of plus-points. I would be a bit careful with the wine, just so it doesn't come of as "I'm trying to get you drunk so you'll have sex with me". But yes, wine is a good thing as well.

True words of wisdom.

I've done this on several occasions for different girls and other than the stated benefits, it can also give you insight to how stuck up she is. If she complains that she would rather go to a restaurant, ditch her. Typically the ones that complain are snob's and were single for a reason.

If she doesn't complain she's either awesome for being polite and going with it anyways or genuinely appreciates it.

Either way, listen to your dad. He's got your best interests in mind :)

Nothing gets a girl faster to bed and with less effort than a great home-cooked meal. Yes it'll outdo drugs, beatings, forced torture, tying up, and so forth.

Now see, this is smart! Learn how to cook, use your skills to get girls. I got the same message at some point in my adolescence, and decided to become a chef. Some cooking good, more cooking better, right? Wrong.

PROTIP: Being a chef doesn't get you girls! Being a chef EATS YOUR LIFE. To get girls you need to have a social life, and social skills... and time to actually meet with girls. None of these happen when you spend 50-60 hours per week in the kitchen.

Fortunately for me, I beat the odds and met my beautiful wife, and have spent the last few years trying to learn what this whole "Work-Life Balance" thing means.

"Because the sex stops if you have to get dressed for breakfast . . ."

Should I somehow end up with a child (of either gender) this whole topic will be part of The Talk.

Truly predatory and thrifty men learn how to cook.

I like to think that as long as I'm alive, I'll be eating something, at some point. So I may as well learn to make whatever it is that I'm eating as delicious as possible.

My father said to me: "Why buy the book when you can go to the library?"

Another good saying is:

"If it flies, floats or fucks ... rent it!"

If I may make a suggestion, make sure you use all or as many fresh ingredients as possible. Even if she's used to eating gravy from a packet or soup from a can, show her how much tastier gravy or soup from scratch can be, especially if you also made the stock from scratch ahead of time. You don't have to go all truffles and caviar to impress a woman, but always use the highest quality ingredients you can and take as few shortcuts as possible. Going seasonal is always a good bet.

Oh, and never serve reheated frozen store-bought ravioli. Just sayin'.

Ya know, this is the way it works. My girlfriend and I are living on incredibly modest college student incomes, and when I get home from work and she's busy working on her thesis, I cook for her. And it doesn't have to be that hard, the first thing I ever made was spicy mac and cheese (and yes- I used the boxed stuff).

Bring her a glass of wine while you're cooking, as well as a little taste of what you're making, and you'll have a friend for life.

As a chef I can attest to the power cooking has over women.

In my home there was one simple rule: Anyone who eats must also learn to cook.

knowing how to cook will get you laid. truth

What about the dishes ?

Morally_Inept · 1 year

Shoot, I do most of the cooking and we only fool around two or three times a month these days. Could be because she doesn't drink and I like to have a few while cooking, then a few more after dinner.

I read this as

Offer her wine... you made from scratch

Was very impressed by your father for a minute.

"You know what dad? I will chop that onion."

smooth move. both your bedrooms are down the hall

Not only that, but set it up so she arrives while you're preparing it so she can watch you cook, and most likely give you head.

"How my dad explained the importance of learning the cock"

Whaaat??

Okay...so you wanted to chop the onion. Cooking with your Dad. Who were you cooking for...and what were you expecting?

Cook together. Great date.

Did this one time, everything perfect, brilliant evening, amazing food. Cleaning up after dinner, go to kiss her - DENIED. Try again, DENIED.

Moral of the story, no matter how good you cook, how well executed the plan, girls will fuck you over (not in the good way).
