Ladies, Fellas...How important is food to a relationship? The Jill Scott Story

[Conscious__Nkechi]

Lmao @ this

She love the food more than you know

I wouldnt stand a chance wit people of your ilk

For breakfast I ate some strawberry apple sauce and 5 milano cookies I only eat when Im hungry

This man I was dating took me out one evening, introduced me to some of his friends and once I was eating my food and thereafter the one brother goes on to say like "Word. And she loves food?? She is a keeper!" Even his friend knew what was up.

Lmao. I don't play! Better get your food consumption game up. I will make you fat! (But I work out so that won't ever happen)

she's not saying she didnt know how to cook,or that he didnt enjoy her cooking..

she said he Stopped eating her food....as a form as disrespect as in i dont want shit from u ...

n leavin food on the counter for days instead off tossin it is disrespectful enuff!

Who said she said that? The whole basis of the thread was in the title and I just broke it down and further expanded on the concept food plays in a relationship. Jill Scott's story was just the spark that brought the idea of the thread - not the focus.

lol I always find it funny how these Earthy pretentious women can't keep a man either, same shit for Erykah Badu too. "these hoes the same all that change is their outfit", as for the statement, the nigga probably didn't want to be around your nagging ass, that can make any nigga lose his appetite.

Yo who said that again? I know it's some hiphop joint.

there were other issues with that marriage and some other those other factors were probably the reason why he didn't eat her food.

Yh obviously....she's either in denial of the fact/dumb. And he was just being passive aggressive about the situation rather than talk it out.

As for cooking, i can cook for myself! I wouldn't wife no chick who can't cook, because i'm assuming we are going to have a family and my kids ain't eating no Mcdonalds or Taco Bell, bitch better learn how to cook Jamaican or Spanish food.

This shit right here! That's why having a woman who knows how to cook is a pre-requisite quality before I could consider marrying her. I mean forget me....don't my kids deserve a home cooked meal from mama?

Very important.

I do have a profound love for food and our relationship is strong. Seriously, I need a man who LOVES to eat just as much as I do. Those who eat like birds and have very little appetites make me feel uncomfortable and I just don't see how they could appreciate me and my deep admiration for food if we aren't on that save level when it comes to food. I need to be able to make that 7 course meal for him to enjoy or be able to have him try different cuisine and get equally as excited as I do when consuming delicious foods.

I genuinely love & enjoy cooking so if he doesn't genuinely love eating just as much, it will be a problem.

I feel you.....But what if he feels exactly the same way as you do except he "LOVES" different foods? i.e. you're a vegan, he's a meat-eater. He likes it spicy, you like it cool. You love pasta, he prefers rice. I mean you could both have the same deep profound love for food but be on opposing ends of the dinner table.

Watching my man eat a big plate of food I cooked him=Foreplay.

LOL I remember you writing a post about being upset if your man was eating food by another woman, or getting his plate served up by one.
Seeing as food has such sexual connotations for you, you reckon you feel that way because it's like he's cheating on you?

By the way, can you cook "Gumbo"?

 

[Ms Eudoxie]

A guy who had a crush on me asked if he could cook for me one day. Brotha had skillz! So sexxy.

I actually went through this with my ex.
He was a full fledged meat loving meat eater while I only ate fish. I would cook his steak for him and my separate fish or other main dish while I made the rice and sides for all of us.

I edited my post before I even saw you had posted this but as you will now see, being open minded about food is what be great and work really well for me. I mostly cook West Indian foods at home but I always venture out and cook different foods. Although my favorite cooking and what is a general staple in my home is from the islands, I love food from Greek to Mediterranean, East Indian, Italian, Japanese, etc. As long as the love for food is there, the rest will work itself out. As long as he is not a man who considers Fast Food to be greater than a nice hot home cooked meal, we are good.

[Knives Amilli]

As long as they're a willingness to cook and learn how (cuz im not the best cook myself) then IDGAF.

What's hot about this?

The broad looks like a candy lady

 

[TooXquisite]

I totally feel Jill on this issue.

It's not so much about what is cooked or if a woman can cook. It's about respect and appreciation.

If I take the time to cook for you, an act that shows I care about your well-being and happiness, then I expect it to be met with appreciation. If you ignore my food, which in essence, is my love or a physical representation of it, then what are we doing here?

My Great Aunt would throw her husband's food in the trash if he did not eat it when she made it. Now, that is kinda extreme but I get it. Personally, I had a thing about how my husband accepted my food. I would bring him his plate and he would ask for me to sit it down near to wherever he happened to be sitting. Long story short, I let him know that I wanted him to accept the plate in his hands, and we don't have a problem anymore.
