  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I cook and if he cooks then its a perfect match.
If he doesn't then it is still a perfect match. :)


great,
i'll be home at Five, have it on the table.
;)



interesting replies,
It does seem a little effeminate to be a competent domesticated male.
Perhaps doing manly things to offset that would help.

I'm a solid cook, and I would expect my wife to be reasonable in the kitchen too. I'm not talking gourmet at every meal, but good tasty food done efficiently.

Sheesh, cooking and baking aren't that hard... I admire people who can just throw stuff together without any recipes, though. Hopefully I can reach that echelon some day.

Hey, I cant help it my oven burns everything.

(Hey, as long as there are people that believe GUNS kill people, I will argue that my OVEN burns the food. :p )

Strider's right though, cooking isn't rocket science.

Now...Top Chef might be rocket science...:ahah: No, it isnt, just much more advanced. Nobody is saying you must cook like those on cooking shows, but learning to cook decently for yourself and family is really not hard.

I don't see how being viewed as a little effeminate means that he needs to do something to "help" that image. I personally would much rather have a husband with helpful skills, especially those that complement mine (like if he cooks), than a husband who thinks he needs to compensate for any helpful trait that happens to be considered effeminate by our culture.

Yeah, I cant do that. If im cooking something I measure everything and follow the directions to a T. I don't cook by feel, I cook by following directions.

how are cooking and baking effeminate? Some of the best chefs/bakers in the world are men.

because it goes hand in hand with being in touch with your emotional side, having excellent fashion sense & having cushions on your couch.
the vast majority of men don't even think about that stuff, because we just don't notice.

are you intimidated or put off by a guy who is a better cook/baker than you are?

Blind post:

Goodness gracious, no! In fact, if he cooks/bakes better than me, I'd ask him to teach me more. ^_^

for the record, I'm an excellent cook better than most females I know.
I have cussions on my couch, dress very fashionably, great with kids, but the emotional side needs some work. Such is the life of a stay at home dad.

I do manly things like gym, hunting, several nights alone in the bush & have a beard so I don't feel like Smithers.

100% srs
balance is everything.

I see too many guys who check all the domestic goddess boxes & forget they are men.
