Men: why you want to cook
Cooking to Impress Women
There are two reasons why bachelors learn to cook. One is to keep from going hungry (and with a burger or taco joint on every corner it is unlikely that you will starve to death) or the other reason is to impress women. A lot of women today cannot boil water and one thing they are looking for is a man who can cook.
All you have to do to convince anyone that you can cook like a pro is to master 3 or 4 dishes and a few desserts. That's it! You can mix it up a little and the more you learn the better but you really only need to cook a few things well, and by the time she figures out that you are only a one trick pony well lets just say you will have her under your spell. The long and the short of it is that the pursuit is important to her and the effort you put in always pays off.
Some quick tips to get you started:
1. Don't make things harder than they have to be kitchen wise. Most of your best dishes are simply made with good ingredients
2. Part of what will impress her is watching you work. The best way to handle this is to ask her over when you have 30 minutes before you finish preparing the meal so she can see you in all your glory. You did not do this so you could hear her say that was good then burp. You are making a point so hammer it home with your skill.
3. Practice a few times before you make it for her. See how it tastes, how it looks and what would you do different. How many of you jumped behind the wheel for the first time and took your driving test? Very few, I bet, and those of you who did are probably still pedestrians.
4. Know what she likes and dislikes. The more you know the better job you do.
