Quick question, why is it that when a lady realises a guy can cook they become lazy, using saying you can take care of yourself nah.

Made any recently?

Wow..

Lol.. If you're not married to a lady and she takes the responsibility of cooking for you and later realise you can cook for yourself and she stops or start making excuses. Instead of complaining, you should be grateful because she is not obligated to make your meals.
