A way to a man's heart is through...

Bob: "Damn, Shel, it sure smells good in here...what'd you bake?"

S y: "Nothing, honey, it's a new plug-in I got with a coupon from Target...."

Apple-cinnamon, of course!

[easjer]

Hmmmmm.

I cooked for my husband the night we hooked up, but the two bottles of wine I drank probably had more to do with it.

I taught him how to cook basics, and now he cooks 75% of our meals. I am required by prearrangment to cook at least once a week, but that's usually crockpot. . .

Must be the great sex.

[Kip Fanatic]

Apple-cinnamon, of course!

You know what? Her place did smell good. It was some candle she had on.

You know, they have cosmetic surgeons, but you're stuck with a chick with a bad at ude.

[Carie]

Yeah, I'm with S y on this one. I NEVER cooked. This is a cool topic though. Tell us guys, what did your women do that won you over?

BOOOOO!!!!

BOOOOO!!!!

No, really, if you'd ever tasted my cooking you'd appreciate it! (ETA, appreciate that I DON'T cook). I've cooked like 2 great meals in my life. Briquit (how do you spell that?) the best EVER, and a great pot roast. That is the extent of my culinary prowess. Unless you count that green bean casserole, I open cans very well

I can answer for User: I had Spurs season tickets and the second one wasn't spoken for.

So at least you knew immediately that the man had good taste in women...and basketball

Well, that's a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I would be willing to bet that over half of women under 30 can't cook, which is horse___. I'm a guy, and I've cooked for myself the last 10 years - how the can a woman live and have any form of independence if they can't even cook for themselves, much less their kids if they have any? I don't need someone else around who is a lousy cook, I'm beyond that myself.

[Marklar MM]

I am man. I can cook

Macaroni, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Stuffing, and other stuff(as long as I read directions).

I think everyone should learn how to cook as they're growing up. When I met my husband and he cooked for himself and did laundry, I thought it was so hot.

And I can cook, just not very well. I've never been able to put in es to make something taste better, things like that. Grandma, mom, friends have tried to help, to no avail. It's like some people have green thumbs, others do not.

What my pet peeve is, is how anyone isn't able to pick up after themselves, organize things, find things, etc. Drives me absolutely batty.

Somehow I managed to find one of those (although he's wonderful in every other way ). But ya know what? We balance each other out. If I'm not good at it, he is, and vice versa.

[Marklar MM]

I don't know how to do laundry. I am rather messy, but I am organized. My room looks like a playpen, but I know where everything is. I am a super human.

[Shelly]

I can cook, I just don't like to that much. Because then I have to deal with, "Do I HAVE to eat that?" and the fact that I have to clean up afterwards.

Same here, but somehow my wife is amazed by my abilities to microwave crap and follow instructions. The only "freestyle" cooking I do would be my burgers, with the help of George Foreman's Lean, Mean, Fat Reducing Grilling Machine. God I love that grill.

I thought the rule was that if you did the cooking you didn't have to clean up. Thought is the operative word here. Then my husband started cooking real meals. Used every pot and pan in the house, gunk on e bottles, splatters on walls 5 feet from the stove. That rule was changed very fast

I have a Foreman...in the basement unused for years. I got me a new grill with temperature readout guage(Talk about high tech ) Man, I am like wam, bam, slam...put them burgers on the grill, hot damn.

I think the answer to the thread le is "through his stomach and your at ude", and that most women couldn't give a damn about either.

Ladies, you're either with us or with the terrorists.

[spurster]

Be sure to get all these things in the prenup.

[Marklar MM]

Men, just remember...



And you women to.

I think the conversation was the icing on the cake. The meal was great. It was out of no where too. I met her last week at Lowes. She works there part-time and goes to school full-time. Anyway, I asked her about the Scott's lawn treatment stuff and she had he stuff down.
I was kind of surprised she knew so much and turned on. I asked her if she had just finished taking the training on Scott's products or if she actually knew what she was talking about and we went from there.

I called her two days afterwards and we talked a few times. I didn't think she was into me. She called yesterday evening, which was the first time since Saturday and invited me to her place to eat lunch.

she invited you over to her place right away? she is psycho or horny as .. did you make a move? if not, you're gay!

I hear ya..

I can cook and the funny thing is better than the women i used to be with..I used to always cook for the ex wife and good stuff too like Coq Au Vin, Swordfish Meatloaf and stuff like that...i like to really do some great stuff.

[ObiwanGinobili]

A man's stomach???? Is this just a saying or is it really true. I just came back from lunch a while ago and I cannot keep my mind off of this girl who made me lunch. It was one of the best lunch dates I have ever had in my life.

The food was great. She made some shrimp tostadas, rice (like I have never tasted), and beans. She even made freshly squeezed limeade. It was good. Instead of beans, the tostadas were covered with guacamole. Then she placed the shrimp on top with lettuce, tomato, and that white Mexican cheese. They were awesome.

Anyway, I was not into this girl at first, but decided to go over to her place for lunch since she invited. I didn't think anything of it, but now I cannot get my mind off of her. She looked excited about making me a meal and the conversation was one of the best I have ever had.

So can it be true that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach?

I think thats totally true.... one of the biggest compliments I always get from my husband is about my cooking. He compliments me on that 5x's more than anything else.
I love cooking for him and I love putting together a littel special meal or treat just for him. He gets all excited about the different dishes I make,..... I know it makes him happy.
If I didn;t cook I seriiously doubt we'd have the relationship that we do now.

the only thing is he never wants to go out to eat - he'd rather stay in.

...is through the Woman's control.
