Do boys like girls who can cook?
There's a saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
I believed this for years. It got me thrown out of medical school. But even despite that disheartening experience, I still think it's true.
Boys love stuffing their faces but many of them are rubbish at cooking. Normally this is fine because our mum (or other responsible adult) will feed us. But mums don't last forever. So genetically, or something, we are programmed to seek a girlfriend who knows her onions - literally.
This prevents us having to survive exclusively on crisps, which would lead to boys dying out as a species (what a great way to go though). This means girls who can cook are especially dishy.
Ainsley Harriot is a good example. If Ainsley wasn't famous, neither you nor I would ever kiss him. But his cooking prowess has transformed him into one of TV's biggest hunks. People are queuing up to kiss him, I've been told.
It makes me wonder why there aren't any hot young female chefs on telly. Like Ainsley, but a girl. A new Nigella. In fact, I might delete this sentence because this is such a good idea for a TV show that you will probably steal it.
In summary, standing over a hob lazily stirring spaghetti Bolognese might not sound sexy, but boys will appreciate it. Without you, they'd probably end up eating their own arms. Or worse still, other people's arms.
That was the other thing that got me thrown out of medical school.

There are loads of lads that can cook so you won't catch us cooking for our boyf's unless they're cooking next time!
Please remember: Kev is not an expert, he is just a boy and sometimes quite a silly boy. The main thing to remember when it comes to lads and relationships is to expect respect as the absolute minimum. Find out more about a Women's Aid campaign of the same name.
