Are you a gastrosexual?

[Liar]

Cook for nook? I dunno. I learned to cook because I like tasty food better than non-tasty. If it gets the ladies all worked up, then fine by me.

They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach but it seems the dining tables have turned as increasing numbers of men are taking up cooking in a bid to seduce women.

Dubbed 'Gastrosexuals' this new generation of men consider cooking more a hobby than a household chore and use their kitchen prowess to impress friends and prospective partners.

Men having the ability to cook is also now a key factor in attracting women along with salary, status, personality and appearance, according to new research.

The report 'Emergence of the Gastrosexual' cites the popularity of superstar chefs Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver as a factor in making cooking a macho pursuit.

According to the study by food company PurAsia 48 per cent of people say being able to cook makes a person more attractive to them and 23 per cent of 18-34 year old men say they cook to potentially seduce a partner.

Ohh absolutely! My experience in Russia very much supports this contention. Of course, I do not pretend to be a good cook, (my tendencies to forego recipes and such, dooms most of my culinary work to inedible glop) but I have mastered a few items which are digestible.

But here, in a society, where it is the norm for men to live at home until marriage, there are relatively few men who have any cooking skills at all. In most western cultures, we are typically forced to sustain ourselves for a prolonged period of young adulthood. Virtually every male expatriate I work with has pretensions of chefdom..... most actually do pretty well.

AND, more to the point, this is definitely an attractive attribute to have in the seduction, if you will, of women here; being unusual makes it all the better. Hell.... just providing an excuse to get a woman into my apartment is more than half the "battle" to the extent anybody is fighting to begin with.

Singing and playing my guitar works for me too!

My first date with the Babe was at my place: I fixed her roast leg of lamb, saffron rice, and steamed zucchini. It was a hit.

But I learned to cook from my mother, who was a really good cook. And I always did like being able to cook for myself. Sadly, the Babe doesn't like spicy stuff as much as I do, so I don't tend to make Indian food.

For seduction, I, too, used playing the guitar and banjo and singing songs as my stock in trade. Cooking came in as a second.

I do love cooking, though.

I love cooking, I've used as a flirtation but never a full on seduction. I know I've made a few women smile with my meals.

Maybe I need to cook naked

and stop frying bacon

Its the no one there to kiss it and make it better that really makes me sad

 

[Shock Chick]

My new man cooked me toad-in-the-hole recently. Not at all subtle, but it worked.

Then again, we'd just had sex prior to him cooking it... and I distracted him while he was cooking it... then again after we'd eaten it.

The seduction was well and truly done, before he even got the sausages and batter out.

You damn well better use that tongue

Ah. I don't cook.

Course, I never wanted a woman who could cook, either. I don't eat home-cooked food. If it isn't greasy, bad for you and brought home in a stryofoam box, it's not something I consider food.

Maybe that makes -me- the exception in today's society?

p.s. Hi, everyone

I love take-out.

Our kids could order their own Chinese food at a very young age which absolutely horrified my parents.

Good to see you, raphy!

I'm just here to ogle Raphy....I don't care if he can cook or not.

Makes perfect sense to me.

1. You are tantalizing her senses.
2. She is entering your space.
3. You are trying to please her.
4. There is an element of mystery, she doesn't know all the components of the dinner, not like ordering off of a menu.
5. The man is showing independence and a worldly approach to masculinity.
6. Kitchens, if shared, can be very intimate.


Hey Raphy...
