@ Lozzy: 2 things. a) These rules need to be kept general for all men, not just CFC users. So smiley rules are out. b) Check your PMs.

@ Everyone: I'm playing around with a new rule, which I noticed in action this weekend. Here is the provisional wording of the draft bill:

"Regarding cooking: You should refrain from doing this wherever possible. However, it is quite acceptable to do so on occassion, but there are strict guidelines governing this:

a) You must make a god awful mess.
b) You must demand and use the most expensive ingredients.
c) You must declare that yours is the finest version of that 'lemon drizzle cake' (for example) that ever has or will be made.
d) You must indicate that it would be entirely possible to start a Michelin star restaurant based around that one dish / cake etc.
e) I'm sure there are more here guys.....?

*) Get indignant, but not flappy if your guest comment negatively

*) Even if the dish tastes like sh*t, shovel it down fast and loudly ... also talk about sport as you eat

*) Big servings for all, but you get the biggest ... bonus if the crockery and the cutlery are miss matched

*) Burp loudly on completion of the meal and wipe mouth with back of the hand

Youre mad I tell you, mad, do you hear!?!? No real man would ever bake a damn cake!

I can make a banana cake. It is really easy. The best bit is licking the bowl after you have put the mixture in the cooking dish.

not true!

a real man knows his way around the kitchen and does not rely upon a woman to provide him w/ his scrumptious vittles.

now, having a woman provide said benefits is a bonus.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Classical, for shame! Doesnt matter how easy it is. This is how you know its something no real man would do:

(phone rings)

Classical: Hello?

Friend: Sup Classical! Want to come over? Ive got a case of cold ones and theres a game starting in an hour.

Classical: Oh I dont think so, Ive got a cake in the oven!

Friend:

a real man knows his way around the kitchen and does not rely upon a woman to provide him w/ his scrumptious vittles.

Im never more certain that all is well in the world, than when Im sitting on my butt in another room, listening to the delightful sounds and enjoying the wonderful aromas of a woman in the kitchen fixing my supper.

RULE 18 ~ Real Men do not wear shoulder pads, especially when playing FOOTball.

Again this speaks for itself.

That's rule number one, dude!

RULE 18 ~ Real Men do not wear shoulder pads, especially when playing FOOTball.

i know this topic has been trampled on. however, i'd like for all to know that american football players are some of best fine-tuned athletes on the planet. bar none. just b/c they wear shoulder pads doesn't mean that they're any less 'meaner'.

pound for pound, american professional football players are the strongest, fastest, and meanest athletes to walk this planet.

@Ram: Never been a college student? Everybody knows that real men make terrible food very cheaply, using poorly dished cutlery.

Having had dinner in several female AND male student homes, my conclusion is that men are far far far better cooks, mostly due to their bigger interests in a fine meal.

Women tend to come up with all kind of 'healthy' nonsense and are usually economising on the wrong ingredients (i.e. meat ).


My favourite typical male thing to do:
Take a day off from work to watch a Tour de France stage wit my brother, and have rare sirloin steak for breakfast AND lunch.
With Cola of course!

My experience is the opposite; female students usually do much better food.

There might be a self-selection effect in that girls who like to cook are more likely to invite me for dinner, whereas those who don't would ask me to come to a restaurant instead. With guys, dinner usually happens 'cos you get hungry while doing manly things.

imho, gender has nothing to do with culinary aptitude.

i've known 'many-a-women' who've known very little about cooking. parents are to blame for this (same for men).

my parents showed me how to cook when i was quite young...

 

[stormbind]

My experience is that many more male students have picked up basic knowledge from being a waiter or bartender and apply that understanding to their home cooking. Female students seem to try hardest but lack experience, serving up the most exotic or expensive ingredients in all the wrong ways.

That is the same for me. My mum taught me how to cook.

Women who are great cooks have no need to go to college to find a husband, thats why the female students you guys know cant cook

 

[stormbind]

"Men don't need to talk when driving in a car together (ever)".

If the drive is say for 45 minutes and they don't ever speak it's considered perfectly normal man behavior. Do not try this as a guy if you are with girl. Either you are already in a fight with each other or the man will get "What's the matter?" within 15 minutes of the silence.

When one guy gave his work mates a ride in his people-carrier, I think it unlikely that any of them enjoyed a comfortable journey, but one of those passengers ended up with a seat containing a strapped in child's safety chair. He sat on that, with his head pressed against the roof, and did not say anything the whole journey

This does not strike me as normal behaviour, even for a man with stiff upper-lip.

Trouble is though, women who cook well, tend to be rather large

In the spirit of this thread, I must point out that real men don't cook in the kitchen. If it can't be thrown onto the barbecue, it isn't worth cooking.

I do remember a skit in an Australian Sketch comedy show about that.

We see a family at a barbeque. We see the guy is making a salad and his wife is cooking on the barbeque. You see some police come and arrest the women and one cop says to the husband, "You should be ashamed of yourself."
