Cooking For Men Isn’t Just Cooking For Men

Duh…

As discussed in the earlier Cooking For Men blog, it all started with the Cave Man. Sure, he cooked for other Cave Men – actually, it wasn’t so much cooking as it was a bunch of Cave Dudes sitting around gnawing on a raw dinosaur carcass when they started fighting over a leg bone or something (this was before chicken wings, which are worth fighting over – actually, they had chickens then, but the Cave Dudes were still figuring out the egg thing, you know: which came first, but that’s another blog). Well, the fight escalated to the point where the meat fell into the fire by accident (this was after fire, of course), and, terrified at the thought of losing a good dino legbone (it wasn’t that easy to kill dinosaurs, as this was before guns), it took a while for them to get it out of the fire (it was before tongs, too), at which time the meat was more than a little charred. They ate it anyway, and discovered barbeque.

Nothing Lasts Forever

Sure, this was cool for a while, and actual competitions happened – Cave Dudes competing to see who could make the best charred dino meat, the first cookoffs, only they weren’t called that. They weren’t called anything, actually, as Cave Men only grunted then (this was before language was invented, but research has shown that this is where the term “throwdown” originated, as the Cave Dudes would throw down the losers, usually off a cliff (hey, they played for keeps back then, this was before they invented the phrase “good loser” – it was originally “dead loser” but was changed later on due to political correctness).

But Let’s Get To The Point:

These pre-historic throwdowns stopped as soon as the Cave Men figured out they’d get a hell of a lot more mileage – read love – by cooking for Cave Women rather than each other, and no one had to die.

Which Is Better, Love Or Fun?

It’s the age old question. Yes, cooking for men is fun, especially if you’re watching the Super Bowl, or any other ball game. Or for a poker game, or even just getting together for some beers, at which time your wife, girlfriend, or babe of the moment will usually tell you to “have a good time, honey, I’ll just go shopping.” But the real rewards come when you cook for your wife, girlfriend, or babe of the moment, the Cave Men found that out a long time ago (Roscoe’s personal observation: never try to cook for all three at once, even the Cave Dudes knew that).

Cave Dudes Weren’t So Dumb After All

And neither are we at Club Roscoe. So don’t hesitate to cook for your babe. It’ll go a long way toward making her think you really care about her (jewelry is for another blog entirely), and it’ll prove that you can share with more than just your buddies. And then she’ll want to share more with you. And as we all know: The Willingness to Share is what it’s all about. Even the Cave Men knew that.
