     Won't work. A guy like me is too hard-headed to even let a woman attempt to defend me (this is coming from a guy who writes poetry in his spare time). If a mountain lion appears in front of us, its my job to fight the lion long enough for you to get away. Cultural roles from the old country, proven to work for millenia Cool ....okay if you really want to, you can kick the mountain lion after I put him to sleep, but thats all you're going to get. Just make me some food as soon as we get home LOL
 
Well, that is just the thing isn't it... Here in the Netherlands, we are curiously short on mountain lions... (perhaps it has to do with the absence of mountains?) In fact, walking around the countryside here, the absolutely most dangerous animal you can encounter is a cow... (or, if you are extremely lucky, you might get a miniature wild boar in out only nature park... but they are kindof shy) Now cows can be pesky, certainly when they are in a bad mood, but knocking it out is really gonna make a farmer real mad at you...
 
Point is, protective skills are a bit obsolete. Food, on the other hand, is vital. So if you wanna be of any use at all...

     Okay if you force me at knifepoint I can probably whip up a good omelet.... tomatoes, onions, cheese, mushrooms, spices and seasonings. How do you like your eggs? Or maybe you'd like an eastern mediterranean style BBQ? I can even make you pretty good sandwiches. I'm a fast learner too... but you better have a big knife handy Tongue
 
Don't like eggs at all actually...Tongue
BBQ is allright. Now that is a thing I absolutely refuse to do, BBQing. Luckily, men are genrally fighting over who can hold the poker best...Wink Unfortunately, this does not mean they can actually get the meat done before it is burnt. BBQ skills are a defenate pre.
 
I hear the Armenian kitchen is real good though... Did you never consider learning it to impress the culinary depraved American girls?

Yeah, you're right. That lack is what makes it obsolete.

     I think its forbidden in both of our cultures to marry a woman who can't cook Wink

     Ah yes, I was just pointing out that a man who cooks great meals is as rare as a woman who will defend the man instead of vice versa. Okay maybe not as rare, but pretty rare in the big picture.

Uh-Uh, Styrbiorn. So much has changed since 1955 that I firmly believe that manual to be OBSOLETE! That was probably used during the "Ozzie & Harriet" days, but not today! Nice try, though!

Ah, not at all. I know quite a few guys who are very good cooks, including an Armenian and an Arab. Ability to cook is totally non-related to ability to fight: one of the best cooks I know is actually a martial arts instructor. Anyway I really suggest you learn how to make a nice feast dinner. It's a very useful skill.
