Damn why the f*** is it American women can't cook?????

Wow, imagine that. Every woman on SOL is a regular soux chef.

SoupNutz, I've found that the higher up you go the educational/socioeconomic ladder, the less likely they are to cook.

:rolleyes: Well consider me the exception to that rule. I'd much rather cook than eat out. If you've worked in a restaurant or know someone who does, you wouldn't eat out too often yourself.

Exactly...shit you wouldn't eat out at all...even though you gotta bend the rules sometime...
 
I've Never ran across a woman who couldn't cook, but being from New Orleans, If I were to meet a woman not from the city I'd be frightened at the possibility of eating her cooking.

I know most Southern girls know how to cook, although I know a New Yorker who can throw down and has given me plenty foodgasms from just talking about her meals


Also to answer to your questions, probably yes, I like spaghetti and a chick has to be pretty bold to do what I think your alluding to also I'm creole I doubt that would work on me.
 
Duece;3596865 Also to answer to your questions said:
:lol::lol::lol:

hey i know ALOT of dudes refuse to eat women's spaghetti for that reason...good to know you dont worry about it
 
are you aware that we Caribbean people read and write much earlier than you as in by and around age 3?

Are you aware that I was reading at such an advanced age that if I told you, you would think I was a bullshitter?? Are you aware that I was telling a joke and by you pointing this out, you made the joke even more apropos?? Are you aware I don't give a fuck??
 
I am not buying the "easier" excuse...especially after seeing this chic take 5 minutes to fukk up some chicken pot pie and the shit was still cold...

wait a minute...those microwavable pot pies aren't easy to cook. you got to get the inside hot and keep the outside from turning to charcoal. it's almost rocket science, lol.

WHY ARE Y'ALL STILL USING MICROWAVES?! :angry::angry:
 
interesting read...

still true though; in the north east many black women and it seems white women too can not cook to save their lives. that's why you see so many chinese buffets, fast food joints etc; all making good money.

To those black women who can cook congratulations, you are part of a diminishing group. You do deserve the recognition.

Where I work at 80% (at least) of the employees are women and about 90% of them can't cook...they bring microwave "dinners" in for lunch and they marvel at the fact that I cook my own lunch (usually a humble meal I'm not a great cook)...you have chics as young as 20 to chics as old as 50...CAN'T COOK...I even seen one chic fukk up a chicken pot pie in the microwave...this is sad...how is this generation of American women plan on building up nourishing our kids when all they can do is microwave food...I mean the shit is ridiculous...white women Black women they can't cook for shit...this is why it's crucial for me to get with a woman with Carribbean roots that she still upholds and values...! Rant done...!

I feel you 100 percent on this shit man. I'm 26 and I may have been with 1 or 2 chicks in my life that can/could cook better then me. My sisters can't cook either and my mom is a great cook. Surprisingly I think the answer just hit me though fam... Simpin Ass Niggas. From the ones they see in videos to the ones who take them out to eat and pay all the time women have no need to learn how to cook for themselves because its not seen as something you need to learn. Sad but true.

especially for a pot pie. People would be alot more healthy if they did stuff as simple as cook stuff in the oven rather then in the microwave. Got some left over fried chicken to eat? Oven. I know you don't have them at work but that's why you shouldn't cook pot pies at work lol. get some regular dinners. I dont know how that would work either tho a pot pie in the mic.

Why do you assume it's a woman's obligation to be a good cook? That's as stereotypical an assumption as expecting the majority of black men to be great tap-dancers. How many men can cook? What's stopping them? Black women aren't raised to be cooks and maids anymore. Thank goodness.

:smh:
 
I co-sign this thread, the last three women I dated couldn't cook, my younger sister can't cook, but my oldest sister can. I can cook damn near anything gourmet style, I work in the "Corporate World" and I'm in RN school. There are no excuses, it is laziness, women and particularly black American women, (cause I have yet to meet an island or African woman who can't cook) feel that they are privileged.

That it is no longer important to cook a meal, but to get a meal...by any means necessary. Thus they bleed brotha's or white boys, whichever you prefer, pockets dry dining out. I can't say just how disappointed I am in the "Majority" of American women in this day and age. Like I said, American Sista's truly hate being called "Women", they think they are men, except for when It comes time for the benefits of being a woman. The next woman I meet who can't cook, I'm going to make a deal with. I'll cook (breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) and cook a snack for you and the kids too, but your ass will change the tires, mow the lawn, trim the hedges, dig a drain ditch and lay drainage pipes if needed, pull weeds, trim the tree's, take out the garbage, fix the sink, unclog the toilet, change the brakes, install pipes, fix the garbage disposal and help with any house repairs. You want to reverse roles, that's fine with me..be the whoa - "man" you want to be so bad and I'll wear your apron...sad, really sad.:smh:

Reverse "roles?" Are you also gonna carry the child you two created for 9 difficult months, and then risk your life delivering him/her?

Didn't think so.

(Just hire a maid and a cook if that's what you're looking for in a woman.)

why do the these type of post come down to american women vs. island women

you have the island women talking about "i always heard american women are lazy and/or triffling"

lets cut the shit .... for the most part west indians and or african women dont like us. we get that or at least i do. my mother didnt raise to me to think I am better then anyone. we all have our struggles, our weaknesses and our strengths.

I dont know anything about West Indians and/ or Africans but judging from what I have witnessed from the boards and moving from California to New York... they carry themselves to be really ignorant with this misplaced elitist attitude. Now I wont make so bold a statement "All West Indian and/or African are ignorant" but why should I have to continue you to sit and be insulted... why should any Proud African American Woman have to defend herself to not only the Africans and West Indians but to African American Men who seem to like to play the role of innocent bystanders. Like they just sat on the sidelines watching the car accident happen but didn't have shit to do with it.

One last point I find that its not so much that AA women cant cook as it is the West Indians and Africans don't like the food that we eat.

Wouldnt it be easier to say I dont like American food then to sound ignorant saying All American Women cant cook!

This isn't personal, it's about cooking and the truth of the matter is a majority (in my case all) of the west indian and African women I've met can and have cooked....full course meals...everyday. The majority of Black American women have not or cannot cook and the West Indian and African women I meet are professionally employed as well....There's a problem here, there really is.
 
Basically. Like I said, I know more women that can cook as opposed to those who can't. And INVICTUS3RD, not all Spanish women can cook. One of my friends is Spanish, and shorty can't scramble eggs, no lie. Neither can her sister or her cousin.

Right...but MOST of them can...but there is more to this hun: It's the attitude...the Spanish women that I have dealt with (and I deal with more Sisters then Spanish)...all have asked me what I wanted for dinner. Not, where are we going for dinner.

What I am trying to say, is that REAL men, want a Sister that wants to take of them and the family. AND in turn, we want to take care of our Sisters as well. However, alot of Sisters are not on that page. Now, I will say that the Black man has a part to play in that, because the Black man, for many reasons, have been absent in the home. I know 'cause I was raised in a single parent home. And the adsence has had a MAJOR affect on us as a people.

But, there are true men, like myself, that want to build a family with our Sisters, but have a hard ass time, because alot want instant gradification. No one has time to build and establish a foundation.
 
Damn, you must be Oprah Winfrey, Condi Lisa, or better yet a Census Taker to have met the majority (most= 95%) of African American women and made the ASSumption that that most of them can't cook.

*thinkin* was there some big cookout for African American women to prove their worth that I missed?!

I have been blessed to travel throughout the country and 99% of the AA Women I have met can cook. Thats not to say all of them can... but in my travels I have been welcomed into homes where there were AA women who could.


anyways this convo is pointless... people gonna think what they wanna... I personally don't care. If a woman is out working (not on welfare) and taken care of her kids the best way she can who cares if she taken tv dinners.

I've traveled the U.S. and the world also, legitimately lived in 3 foreign countries and my job has taken me to nearly all 50 states 5 of which I resided. I'd like to travel in your circle, because I must be meeting all of the 1% :lol: For the record, I said the majority of West Indian and African women I've MET, not the majority of women overall. Majority meaning If I've met 25 then 23 can cook. If I've met, and I have 25 sistas, 11 can cook, 10 just won't just to be arrogant and the other 4 will if you spend enough paper.

And herein lies the problem, just because you think it's pointless, doesn't mean other men think the same. My mother wasn't on welfare, worked and took care of three kids and still put a hot meal on the table...not a damn T.V. Dinner. This thought process is really sad:smh:...but in the interest of brevity...next

The 2nd part of my response was not directed at you so I don't see the point in you mentioning all the many places you have been. I only mentioned that fact to say that I have traveled throughout the US and have had the opportunity to meet other AA women outside of my immediate block.

Now me saying this argument was pointless was more so referring to me defending African American women to West Indians/ Africans because yall are gonna think what you want to.

When I mentioned "tv dinners" I was quoting Leroys original complaint about chicks taking "tv dinners" to work. I never said your mother was on welfare *shrugs* I'm not even sure what your point was with that.

Either way it is ignorant to classify and/or categorize any one particular group , sex or race.
