Re: cooking and marriage
Righto. Let me clear this up for you women. How do you know a man is ready for marriage? He has a steady job, he is financially responsible, he is mature, responsible and all that jazz. There are pre-set indicators (set by women at that) on what constitutes a man who is ready for marriage.
What are these indicators for women? None. You have no responsibilities at the start of the marriage. You have no liabilities at all. You come into a marriage with the assumption that the man has set up the basic foundation for the life you two will lead.
The reason I believe cooking is considered a trait is to see if you are ready to handle married life. If you can cook, you can take care of the home. You can take care of the children, provide them with the basic needs.
Consider it your litmus test. So far a few of you have failed.
