He's not wrong. I've brought women home many times by cooking for them. Guys, learn a few easy recipes and you won't regret it. My go to is chicken and broccoli alfredo or carbonara fettuccine.

Nothing sexier than a belly full of cream and cheese.

My favorite go to recipe is a lentil soup with spinach, lime, coconut milk, and curry. It's really refreshing, especially after a hard day of carrying bridges across the Shattered Plains.

Always a risk that airsick lowlanders may not like it though

That sounds delicious, and healthy!

Found Benjamin Sisko's account.

But yeah, even simple cooking is great.

Crock pot stew is barely any effort too

Yet they taste so good on a winter day

When I was dating that was basically my go-to reason for inviting someone over, but that usually was at least 3-5 dates in. Usually we'd have eaten at cool restaurants where we've had full blown conversations about food, and where I'll have introduced the idea that I'm a great cook who knows what I'm doing, and then at a certain point I'd offer my place for a dinner date, and then show off. And we'd already be alone at my place so it wasn't that much of a stretch for them to stay over.

Honestly I don't know how I would've approached dating if I didn't know how to cook.

I tried that once. She ate my Thai curry, made polite conversation, and left.
Still a nice evening, though.

Maybe she hates curry

Try roasting the broccoli first, assuming you don't already.

Good suggestion. I usually steam them since I like the florets still crunchy. I'll try roasting next time!

It brings out a whole new world of flavor. Truly surprising. Just toss with a little olive oil and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or so.
