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... |
The mountain lion was just a metaphor for
a physical danger. The guy has to lay his life on the line in order to protect
his family, and he shouldn't expect his wife to do it. Not that she's any less
committed, but what kind of sap would say, "Sure honey go ahead and check
if theres a burgler in the house"? (for example)

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. |
BBQ skills are a definite what? Anyways,
Armenian and mediterranean BBQ doesn't need a poker, all the meat is lined up
on skewers

I
hear the Armenian kitchen is real good though... Did you never consider
learning it to impress the culinary depraved American girls? |
If you haven't tried it, then you must.
I've never thought of cooking for a girl, they usually prefer to be with
A-holes rather than a "nice guy" who cooks (no offense if you're one
of the girls out there with common sense)

That
goes for the cooking and cleaning as well my dear. |
I have no problem with that. I'll buy the
ingredients, and you can cook. I'll make the messes and you can clean them. I
think we can make a pretty good team
Honestly I wouldn't mind helping
out my wife at home, I'm not an unreasonable person. But if one person works a
lot more hours per week, the other person needs to pick up most of the load at
home.
