Well, I have had males say "I'll cook dinner" and when I ask "what will you cook?", they tend to say "whatever you want" but have no idea themselves. Some think "cooking" is chopping stuff, throwing it into a pan, and stirring it (using a different spoon each time). Leaving the kitchen in a mess and then patting themselves on the back because they "cooked dinner". No thanks!
HAHAHAH, I am not far off that.

Men of my father's generation couldn't/didn't cook except for BBQing but men nowadays tend to cook and cook well. Quite often better than women.
Both of my sons cook really imaginatively and well.
Yes, but do they plan the menu, buy the ingredients and clean up afterwards?

What about my idea above?
How about -
entree of shrimp cocktail,
New York Steak - medium rare served on a cast iron sizzle plate,
asparagus with hollandaise sauce,
roast potatoes, with a side of caesar salad?
Surely that would win the heart of any girl?
I'd prefer lobster!
PS What's for dessert?

If you want to cook me a meal at MY place, you have to start with working out what you are going to cook and go and buy all the stuff .... and etcetera.

No dessert except a piece of cake.
Lobster - that is better but you're asking a lot.

That's all too much.
I am more a ' ..... what is in your fridge I can cook up...' sort of a guy.
My Granny used to say 'A good chef can cook a good meal out of whatever is in the fridge.'

Yes, you could do that too. My pantry and fridge are full of good stuff to cook. No pasta though, I hate pasta.

Lobster Thermidor is easy.

What sort of cake? Hope you have already baked it (preferably chocolate) and it isn't something you got from the shop!!!

Yes they do although I got the ingredients for a chicken dish and cheesecake last week because I was the one going to the supermarket.
BTW Lobster Mornay is my favourite but they don't cook that because they don't eat seafood lol.

Just any cake bought from Coles.
Lobster like that is beyond my cooking skills.
