(37,648 posts)But what I HAVE noticed about men cooking, and other women have commented on as well, is that when men cook, they make a lot of hoopla about it, they make a big mess, they expect a LOT of recognition for the taste and the act of cooking, and they aren't the ones to clean up the mess.
This does not apply to single men. It's usu. husbands. That's because if they rarely do the cooking, they make a big deal about it, and they want a lot of recognition and flattery about it, because they don't do it often. Whereas the wives, who cook daily...they got over the hoopla and the needing flattery years before. It's a daily chore, like making the beds.
This is not always the case. It was the case with my father, as it was with my ex-husband, and some other women have had similar experiences.
But the food tasted fine, as I recall.
