This again is time. There is a big difference between enjoyable cooking, where you have time, and being knackered after work and school runs with grumpy hungry kids hanging off you. Having to provide hot meals under time pressure (I know people do it for a living, I mean on top of that.) will kill most people’s enjoyment of cooking - it’s certainly killed mine. Which is a shame - this is another bit of modern life that’s really shite, not using time to cook properly, get the kids involved in the prep work etc. It has knock on effects of stress and health.
Being able to spend time, without pressure, and get things right, is a luxury most working parents don’t have daily. For me it’s a weekend thing, and I enjoy it more then.
A man who enjoys cooking and actually cooks decent meals on a work night? Amazing. I want one!
Unless i want to impress, or it's a family gathering, all my home cooked meals are simple. A simple steak, salted veg, rice, mash. You can whip up a pasta and a simple sauce in less than 30 minutes. If you're time efficient and not lazy, you can absolutely cook at home after work. You can meal prep for days ahead, there isn't really any excuse

Oh I do. I cook from scratch every night. Veg, meat, some form of carb for growing kids. Pasta and sauce, all that.
Fry up some chicken and chop a load of veg and salads and you’ve got tacos, mince and veg in a sauce can be spag bol one night and lasagna another. It’s not haute cuisine but we eat freshly cooked food. I don’t think I’m any kind of amazing cook, but proper food is non negotiable.
My point is it is tiring and I don’t enjoy it - I’ve already done a demanding job, and school runs and I am not spending more than 45 mins after that feeding anyone. Someone who puts a cooked meal that I didn’t cook in front of me a few nights a week? Sounds luxurious

Haute cuisine is for making money

For loved ones, nothing beats a comfort meal done with care. And those are quick and easy to do
 
Have you ever worked in a restaurant or is this just some dunning kruger thing?
You said that if I don't want to shell and devein shrimp after work, I should do it a week ahead of time, showing you don't know shit about seafood. Anybody who thinks he can get superior results to a fresh shrimp salad by prepping it a week earlier and using frozen vegetables, merely because he's a man and the fresh salad was produced by a woman, has no opinions on food worth considering. The magic of testosterone doesn't make your week-old frozen meals better than fresh food, even if made by a filthy foid. That's just not how food works.

I didn't say anything about week long shrimp, are you stupid? I said that you can prep for a week ahead, as in stock, vegetables, sauces. You absolute unskilled and barely literate dumbass

You're better off letting your wife do the cooking and keep doing the tard chores like walking the dog

No, you were talking about shrimp.

And nigger I am not spending my Saturday making sauce.

No, i was clearly talking about meal prep. You brought shrimp up. There's lots of things that you can prep ahead and portion. Shrimp is done fresh, and takes a few minutes to prepare, including shelling, deveining and cooking. If you're capable (you're not) you can multitask and make sauce with the shells

Just admit that you're stumped by entry level shit like cleaning shrimp, you'll look less stupid. Ask wifey to do it for you, manbaby

I brought shrimp up because "lol just prep" doesn't work for tons of things. A meal like I had that day - happened to be shrimp - takes about an hour to prepare. There was nothing in it to "lol just prep." I do not want to swing by the seafood market after work, come home, and stand in the kitchen for an hour. I don't want to stand in the kitchen for half an hour. I want to spend zero minutes, zero seconds standing in the kitchen after work.

Why does it make you so mad that most men don't actually want to spend time in the kitchen after work? I guess it's your hobby, which is fine, but mine is painting tiny robots. But seriously, why do you find it so upsetting that i want to spend an hour in the park, not the kitchen? You clearly have a lot emotionally invested in this.

Some things are implicit. I shouldn't be making it obvious that i'm not talking about prepping and freezing something that's simple to make. Some people are just stupid and we have to make pretty drawings so they can understand obvious statements

It was you that started to tarding out at my post and talking about shrimp. And your justifications just made it clear you're unskilled and lazy. I'm fine with that, let your wifey do it for you
 
Imagine not just buying frozen prepped shrimp like a normal person.
Shrimp's better fresh, but it's not like frozen is bad. Some preparations will require fresh, same goes with veg, frozen veg can actually be better for some dishes

It's been two pages already that i emphasised that home meals should be simple, and yet there's niggers sperging out with me as if i'm talking about 3 star level meals. Men like that shouldn't even be allowed in the kitchen, there's too many sharp objects and they might get hurt

You said women didn't belong in the kitchen because they're not the best chefs in the world.

Let me give you a hint. Women making meals for their men makes them happy. Women like taking care of their family, it gives them purpose. Men like women cooking for them because it's a sign of motherly instincts you want for your children. Women are more than capable of making high quality and fast home meals. And the social capital they earn from it far out stretches your autistic sperging.

You did mention prepping meat a week in advance when replying to him talking about shrimp.

I'll ask another question so we can move on from this man child and his 2 weeks experience at McDonalds.

What is a trait in women that makes you swoon? Nothing sexual, a personality trait you find very attractive.
 
tarding out at my post and talking about shrimp
shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

Which is better, fresh shrimp cooked by a woman or frozen shrimp cooked by a man?

You argued that female cooking is so bad that any man takes over cooking duties will automatically do a better job (even if she makes fresh meals every day and he batch-prepares stuff on the weekend to reheat later), and the only reason any man wouldn't want to do this is he's just too stupid to handle a butter knife, as there is no other use of a man's time that could possibly be more desirable, nor is it possible for a woman to achieve a level of cooking in an hour that a man could not achieve in minutes.

Frozen shrimp cooked by a man. Because they know when to use each kind

You're british, every opinion you could give about cuisine has no value whatsoever

Enough of this. You both are too autistic and incompetent for this kind of talk
 
Tl; dr: I get tired of hearing about men as the rational caretaker and problem-solver and women as just needing a hug and tears dried after an explosion of emotion too overwhelming for her to see clearly through. My experiences have been about every variation but that.
I think that is the idealized form men aspire to but dont always reach. I think were becoming more and more confused about gender ideals as time goes on and hormones are disrupted further and further.
