What Men Want No 72: A Sandwich

What men want is a sandwich. From their wives. I know, it's one of the oldest jokes in the book. Terribly sexist, but hey, the world was a sexist place back then. Only because we crack the joke now, doesn't mean that we don't respect you guys for what you do for us. In this article, I'm going to let you in on an "inner circle" mens' secret that explains really why food either makes or breaks the deal when it comes to you being a good wife for us. Please don't take it the wrong way either; I just want to help wives out who feel offended by the notion that they have to stay in the kitchen. We're really complimenting you. Here's how.

1. "The Way To A Man's Heart Is Through His Stomach"

We're all aware of this saying, aren't we? It's somewhat archaic and relates probably back to the era of the '60s, when men would come home from work and women would have dinner already prepared for them.

They say that men are the providers. It's actually women. They provide the food that sustains the men and keeps them going. Men don't put food on the table either. Women do. So really, women have a really important job in keeping the family together.

2. The Female Provider

Women who cook in the family are usually authoritative too. Men who don't respect them and are sexist and make bad jokes about them being in the kitchen should be taught a lesson. Women deserve more respect for the magic they work with the pots and pans.

The fact of the matter is, more females seem to be better at cooking than men are. I don't know what it is, maybe it's an artistic thing. Maybe we simply can't multitask. At any rate, you're there because you can get the job done.

3. You are home

In relationships where the woman is in the kitchen cooking, the male more often than not had his mother cooking a lot for him. Not to make things weird, but you cooking in the kitchen makes him comfortable, because it is familiar and reminds him of home.

You literally are home to him. Without you, there wouldn't be a home. There would just be a house. So if you currently don't cook, you would do a lot of good for your relationship to cook and show your man that you want him to see you as his "home."

What a man wants is a woman who can cook, not because he can crack bad, sexist jokes about her, but because he wants to respect and love her more for being a great woman.
