Which brings up something unique....
Men are increasing in their culinary skills. Outdoor cooking is never viewed as "women's work" ....Blackstone has an entire product line for men....not women.
As a recovering fine dining executive Chef, I do....but I'm happily married. I owned/ran restaraunts and bakeries. It's just work.
However,
The food thing, it's one of those things that women can do to demonstrate that you understand a guy's needs and can care for him by helping him in some capacity. That you have a capacity of caregiving and assisting instead of just being yet another leech on his efforts.
From a guy's perspective, there are tons of women that want to be provided for that offer nothing in return of any real value other than a masturbatory aid.
You do not want that moniker in the white noise of the women already surrounding him. You want to stand out and rise above them....
Then there's the whole motherhood thing....he might be looking for a relationship that will provide children. Sure, you have a career, and it might be that you are successful in your career. Guys still want more. We are talking potential spouse, mother for children, standing in the community, aide for his pursuits....whatever they may be.
We men can quickly determine "givers" from "takers" because of past failed relationships.....we are surrounded by Takers but Givers get noticed.
You want a great guy? It requires something extraordinary to be noticed.
Being "barbie" is not required or really relevant when it comes to relationships.
