Advice for Bachelors

Attention Bachelors!!

I'm about to give all of you single, unattached men out there a very important bit of advice, so pay attention. If you really want to wow a woman, learn to cook. I don't mean that you should be able to turn out 5-star food on a daily basis, but knowing how to at least feed yourself is a good start.

If more than half of your meals come out of the freezer or a can, you really can't say that you know how to cook. Especially not if the other half of your meals are delivered to your house from your local take-out place. You should at least know the bare minimums, like how to cook pasta and maybe grill something.

So why does this matter? Knowing how to feed yourself will make you look more like an attractive, independent man that's able to take care of himself. Women don't want to adopt an overgrown child. Do your own laundry, keep your apartment reasonably clean and know enough about cooking that you can feed yourself.

Even if you (and your future spouse) picture a relationship where your wife does the cooking and the cleaning, she'll appreciate the fact that you know how. There are situations that will come up where these skills will take a lot of the stress off of your wife, like when she's in the hospital following the birth of baby #3 and you're at home taking care of babies #1 and #2 between sitters.

So learn the necessary skills to make yourself into an attractive mate and you'll see how quickly you find Mrs. Right.
