Every thread being hijacked....Can we talk about it ??!?!?

This brings up a strange dichotomy to me regarding poverty.

I was raised in poverty.  That poverty taught me a lot of life skills and I never FELT poor (at least until I got older and realized we were).

Others born in poverty have non functioning parents and a lack of roll models.  They don't learn valuable skills.  They don't learn to cook, to sew, to garden, to hunt, to fish.  

Even my poverty provided me privilege tens of millions of Americans do not have.

Making me think this afternoon.

Back in HS in the 80s, we had to take not one, but two Homemaking classes complete with full blown kitchens before graduating where they taught nutrition, how to cook and sew and knit and all that shit. 

That's way too homo to fly in today's society.

Which is so ironic.  Nothing gets a man laid easier on a first or second date than knowing how to cook.  It's my go to move (when they don't ask for a dick pick).  Talk to a woman, send her photos of your meals you make every night, then when you invite her to your house to eat it is not weird or presumptuous.  And once she helps you cook an amazing meal in the kitchen, and eats in on your coach....sex follows.  Almost always.

Ummm, wait until you get into your late 50s. After preparing a nice meal for the wife, the exciting action is a scoop of ice cream. 🥸

no sewing or knitting but my high school had an elective, "bachelor cooking", it was a blast.

one day we each made apple pies and then proceeded to eat the whole thing...the teacher just laughed, she was usd to high school boys

It's an art.  She already knows your value as a cook and how amazing your meals look.  So then you invite her to cook with you.  You let her feel involved in the process, while guiding so it turns out amazing.  It shows your dominance and humility all at once.  She can add some extra garlic powder or whatever and feel she contributed to your meal.  Then when you are eating it together you focus on how it is the best ever.  "Yes I have always made great gumbo but this is honestly better, your Idea to add this or that made the dish"

It's basically guaranteed sex.

You're about a generation too late.  You could've written romance novels w. Fabio on the cover working the stove.

Nah man that is the whole point.  The fact you are so different.

There is something to the cooking together shit.  When you are laughing and cooking and making a super dank meal together...sex follows.  It is warm, nurturing, wholesome, fun and creative.

LOL you remind me of a guy I used to hang with about 20 years ago who was all into the mindfuck of how to talk to random women to get them interested in you.  

Dude was a total dork.  Like big dork.  Not gonna lie.  I went out a few times with him and whatever he was doing worked, he was definitely punching above his weight class lol.

@bornontheblue and @AztecAlien see how easy that was?

@InnZoneU and myself challenge each other and he is not afraid to talk mad shit to me.  We can beat the fuck out of one another in one conversation, and have fun on the next.

Yep.  If you know how to shop and cook you can eat like a king FAAAAAR cheaper than fast food.

Sadly, too many of Americas poor do not know how to take care of themselves.  That's why the eat fast food.  Not because it is cheaper.  Because they don't know anything.

A lot of people don’t like to cook because they work demanding jobs and don’t feel like taking the time to cook after long days at work and would prefer to eat out because it’s convenient.

Amazing how that can occur.  I give you shit.  You give me shit.  We both move forward without 10 pages of hate posts.

and that's fine...but it's expensive

so if your long term goals require saving $$$ they might have to make some lifestyle changes

one thing you can do is meal plan and make several meal ahead of time over the weekend so that it's easy to cook or reheat when you get home from work

personally, I often make large batches of whatever I'm cooking

I know most folks don't like this but I don't mind eating the same thing for several days in a row

Any other person here I will try to  do that with. Not that guy though. 

You - We have literally wanted to kill each other and then worked it out

BSU TOP 25  - We have had a few moments I think we are good now 

Retro  - We have had several dustups, most of them my fault. I think we are good now 

Joe From Wyoming and all the other iterations  - I am hoping we are cool when he gets back from timbuktu 

HappyCamper - There have been tons of angry exchanges with that guy. I respect him though, and I think we are good. 

Alpine  - I have had several angry exchanges with him. We are fine. I just texted him last night. 

 

AA has had a plethora of opportunities not to be a total shitbag, and he fucks it up every time.
