  1. Flare says:

    Not necesarily true. Oh yeah… FIRST!

    • Shin says:

      Yes it is.

      • HellHathNoFury says:

        No, some people have grown up enough to know how to cook for a family before they turn, say, 16. The only women and men I know that are living with someone/married/etc that can’t cook are the same ones that don’t know how to do laundry and don’t clean thier house because they were never made to do anything they didn’t feel like doing. Rather sickening.

      • Terminal says:

        Not true at all, actually. I would not “rather eat ramen” than prepare something with my wife.

  2. V Gard says:

    Completely true, at least untill the Marriage part, that I’m not so sure about.

  3. Sud_Vicious says:

    I am sure that the marriage part is wrong. At least in my house. I eat something excellent every night (except when I cook).

  4. Mary says:

    I think the Married part is true, but only if you’re the one who always has to cook it. I’d rather have a damn sandwich than stand in front of that freaking stove every night when I get home from work while hubby sits on his ass and watches TV and won’t cook even when I ask nicely. Not that I’m bitter or anything.

    • porka says:

      U need sum serious ass pounding!

    • CAPM says:

      Stop complaining and get me a beer.

    • Mariachi says:

      Amen to that!!! Throw your kids in the mix and it compounds it… “I don’t want that mommy” after you’ve spent almost two hours preparing and cooking it.

    • PeachyKat says:

      Here’s a hint: oleander leaf is poison. Just make him a meal with a fancy garnish. ;)

      • Mary says:

        If you saw the faces he makes when I make kale salad, you’d think I was poisoning him, all right…

    • Mary says:

      Funny, that’s what I’ve finally started doing, especially since he’s been unemployed now for about six months and seems to see no need to do anything at all around the house. The least he could do is cook so I don’t have to do that when I get home from work.

      I also just cook what *I* want, which, coincidentally, makes him unhappy. We eat a lot of homemade vegetable soup and kale salads.

      Poor baby hates it.

      • DeathWyrmNexus says:

        If it is that bad, why not just leave? I understand it isn’t that simple but it would be better than just making each other miserable.

        • Mary says:

          Ah, if only it were that simple. I am planning on leaving, but it’s not as easy as you may think.

          • Molly says:

            Come live with me, Mary. We can share and share alike and I’ll cook for you. I hate to hear of a woman in this position…

    • Mayken says:

      You’re husband needs to come take cooking lessons from my husband. DH loves to cook and is excellent at it. In fact, most of my male relatives and friends are good cooks, many of them better than the women. We have a saying in my family – every man needs to know where he belongs, in the kitchen!

  5. jmurockstar says:

    add in a “bachelor living alone” column… it will be at the same level as “college”

  6. ddemeo says:

    Why would being married effect whether you like to eat a home cooked meal?

  7. papajon says:

    So untrue!!!!

    I’m married and I guarantee I’d be 30 pounds lighter if I ate home cooked meals. Yes, I’m a tool; it’s a problem solely of my own making.

  8. Dave says:

    I also question that last column. I am much more appreciative of my married home cooked meals than I was of my mom’s when I was in High School.

  9. RJ says:

    I enjoy cooking. My wife likes my cooking. I like my cooking. I make a mean seared tuna. Its too easy! Lazy bums. And Mary, you either need counseling for that husband or a good lawyer.

  10. Rimo says:

    nothing wrong with ramen is there?

    • sewinglady says:

      yes – high sodium levels, and the carbs aren’t complex so aren’t good for you either.

      And is it just me or should the top line of the graph be ‘good food’ not ‘god food’. (and yes, apparently, I was a very stern English teacher in a former life).

      • Devylan says:

        I’m thinking, “God, food!” Sort of like, “Yes, finally, food!” said in a desperate tone of voice.

      • littlewoman says:

        I think it is just you, sewinglady, since ‘good’ was a choice further down on the chart. =)

      • varuna says:

        I get ramen with no MSG from the azn store and my husband and I add all sorts of fresh & frozen veggies. One of our favorite meals! <3

        That being said, I only cook dinner about once a week, because I work 6 nights a week.

      • tanpopo says:

        I think they do actually mean “God food,” as in Ambrosia. A home-cooked meal as the food of the gods.

  11. :( I love my husband’s cooking!

  12. xarexerax says:

    I definitely disagree. My wife is an excellent cook, and she says she enjoys it. I do step in every now and again to show off my prowess at the masterful art of boxed couscous or Velveeta Shells ‘n’ Cheese, but I certainly enjoy her cooking more than any other I’ve found. Even blows any restaurant in town out of the water.

    • DeathWyrmNexus says:

      You and I are an oddity in that we aren’t miserable being with the lovely ladies in our lives. It is rather depressing to read this set of comments, actually.

  13. Mcbob says:

    You’d achieve better accuracy than this chart if you asked a deaf person to indicate where that squeeking sound is coming from.

  14. HellHathNoFury says:

    I’ve heard an old saying over and over: ‘I’d rather marry an ugly woman that could cook, than starve to death with a fox.’

  15. Terminal says:

    I’m happy to see that most people don’t buy the last part of this.

  16. highlighter says:

    my father would dis agree
    he loves his home food.
    He can’t wait to get back home on theweekends and eat mom’s food
    Ramen is not his choice
    its sad if that happens to you

  17. bun0 says:

    this seems pretty true… but I will do my best to avoid the marriage one :P

  18. bill brasky says:

    who gets married right after college, lame

  19. hodudududuh says:

    I eat tastier, healthier food now that I’m in college than I ever did “at home” and I can’t be the only one. The fact that I’m apparently in a minority (at least according to this graph) is depressing enough on its own.

  20. Hilarious…and true!! :-D
