Come Help The Singles Forum Build a Better Man Trap!!

[Lanolin]

1. What do you think would work best as a the Perfect Man Trap?
and,
2. What kind of bait can we use that no man can resist?

well probably a lot that already has been posted - I haven't read all the replies but I would say....
the ham and cheese sandwich is up there.

Cars is another (if the man is into cars)

hmm the kind of bait that no man can resist...I think some kinds of perfume have an effect on men like catnip on cats. Though I'm not telling you my secret perfume.

نعم، هناك عطور رائعة.

I do nothing and everything at the same time.

I wanted to join in this part of the discussion because of typical cliche men attitudes toward women, and vice versa. It would be unequally yoked, literally with one person doing all the work and the other hardly anything, that is not fair in a partnership (meant to be equal or a team) and common in a lot of 'traditional' marriages sadly.

I think there needs to be a bit of give and take. Or push me pull you. Its hard to live on a single income these days...is not reality. You might as well be a solo parent if that's your attitude. And a lot of parents are, they just live separate lives even under one roof, cos one person is away doing work, earning bread, and the other waiting around and doing all the housework, unless there is some kind of understanding I think...

Women(wives, mothers) get tired of children around ALL the time, and Men(husbands, fathers) can get sick of work politics.

Why don't people understand this? Not everyone is middle-class earning a lot of money, and we can just see our parents trying to cope with a life like this. It rarely works for too long, because children eventually grow up and leave home, We can lose our jobs/livelihood when the economy tanks. People can get sick, become disabled, both parents and offspring.

A lot of young idealistic people live in a fantasy world I think and rarely think about the consequences of those sorts of marriages. The whole tradwife thing is a sham.

It works for men, but I say as woman..NO. It is unhealthy to be dependent on man as a financial plan all the time. I've seen it in 'Christian' marriages and it does not work. Couples can pretend it works, but deep down inside the wife knows it doesn't - the husband can leave at anytime, the wife cannot. Especially if husband is unbeliever and just wants a 'traditional marriage' rather than an actual Christ centred one. It is open to abuse.

And to stay faithful may require a certain price tag. But don't 'traditonal' couples vow for 'richer and for poorer' 'in sickness and in health'? Or isn't that done anymore.

 

[Lanolin]

Sorry about my rant. Maybe I just know too many Christian divorcees. Can we just do away with delusions it's the 21st century now.

 

[Lanolin]

ha nobody replied.

What century are we living in again? I don't have dementia, just asking.

 

[Starsdance7]

哈哈，笑死我了，我可没这毛病。我以前想当厨师（那时候我还没知道自己有阿斯伯格症）。所以我学了三年专业烹饪和两年专业烘焙，如果我遇到不会做饭的女士，我也有基本的烹饪技能可以教她。

Hello, chef, what are the flavors of most of your meals? I wonder if there is anything that fits me.

Hello, chef, what are the flavors of most of your meals? I wonder if there is anything that fits me.

I am a fan of chicken egg rolls, Chicken chop suey, chicken fried rice, Chicken chow mein, fried shrimp, and beef and mixed vegetables.
I once had a fortune cookie that had no fortune in it.

But in Italian cooking most common spices are oregano, parsley, basil. Cumin if your doing spicey dishes like chilli, I once put cinnamon on a meatloaf it came out really well. Of course I usually only use it if I am doing a dish for a pot luck, or a family meal when I am with people, or I am in a kitchen that has the herbs and spices... at home because of my budget, it's usually just bland plain stuff because I don't go out and actively buy herbs and spices.

 

[Starsdance7]

我喜欢鸡肉蛋卷、鸡肉杂碎、鸡肉炒饭、鸡肉炒面、炸虾和牛肉什锦蔬菜。
我曾经吃过一个幸运饼干，里面却没有任何纸条。

但在意大利烹饪中，最常用的香料是牛至、欧芹和罗勒。如果你要做像辣椒这样辛辣的菜肴，可以用孜然。我曾经在肉饼上撒过肉桂，味道非常好。当然，我通常只在参加聚餐、和家人一起吃饭，或者在厨房里备有各种香料的时候才会用到这些香料……在家的话，因为预算有限，通常只用一些比较清淡的食材，因为我不会特意去买香料。

You are a chicken fan. Haha. I like chicken, too. I eat stewed chicken with mushrooms and braised chicken legs. You are good at cooking Italian food, which is novel to me! I'm in China, and we usually put octagonal，Cinnamon, pepper, ginger, etc. There must be a difference in taste.

Maybe it's just me or maybe it's part of the forum updating, but I am seeing some posts in Chinese characters. Or is it Japanese? Korean? IDK.

This is my page translation.

I wish I could read Chinese. But thankfully there is google translate.

And google lens. I have recently discovered it, and now I know what my Japanese car is saying on the stereo.

Yes, but I also like pork, beef, turkey, fish and shrimp and lobster. but most chinese restaurant menus here are either beef or chicken.
The chicken and mushrooms sound good, actually a little oil, add the chicken and mushrooms to a skillet or a wok with bell peppers and onions and you can do a chicken stir fry .

 

[Lanolin]

@Starsdance7 you wrote Octagonal?? Did you mean Octopus?

I like both Chinese and Italian food. The Italians copied the Chinese noodles. Do you like spaghetti?

Chicken can be cooked in so many different ways. My Mum made salt-baked Chicken. It would take a few hours to cook but sooo good.

 

[Starsdance7]

@Starsdance7 你写的是八角形（Octagonal）吗？你在写章鱼（Octopus）吗？

我喜欢中餐和意大利菜。意大利人模仿了中国的面条。你喜欢意大利面吗？

鸡肉的烹饪方法多种多样。我妈妈做的是盐焗鸡。虽然要花几个小时才能做好，但是味道超级棒。

Hello, it should be Chinese star anise. I tried Italian noodles a few times at western restaurants, I think I like them if the cook cooks well. Do you like hot pot?
I have tasted the salted chicken you mentioned. What's the taste of your mother's cooking? Sweet or salty? It's really delicious, similar to roast chicken here, with a bottle of white wine, which is what China men love haha

Yes I like hot pot. We have Mongolian hot pot and Vietnamese hot pot here as well.
My mum makes it salty, I don't think she uses white wine, but she would have used Chinese cooking wine in her food. I do like a good roast chicken also, with rosemary, garlic, and roast potatoes.

I'm not really a wine drinker, because I get the Asian blush

 

[Starsdance7]

哈哈Haha, it seems that our tastes are very similar. I often eat Mongolian hot pot, sliced mutton and beef here. We also use cooking wine to remove the smell of stew. I like roast chicken with garlic and potatoes. I don't drink alcohol at all now, for fear of allergies. I try to cook healthy fried vegetables myself now. What do you usually cook yourself?

是的，我喜欢火锅。我们这里也有蒙古火锅和越南火锅。
我妈妈做的菜比较咸，我觉得她不用白葡萄酒，但她做菜肯定会用料酒。我也很喜欢烤鸡，配上迷迭香、大蒜和烤土豆。

我其实不太爱喝葡萄酒，因为我喝多了容易脸红。哎呀！

 

[Lanolin]

Have I mentioned meat pies for the man trap.

How can men resist the humble meat pie?

Usually its rice, with green veges and a protein like salmon, tofu, egg, sizzle steak
I like lamb chops with mash potato and peas as well.

My favourite dish would be tomato and eggs with black beans and garlic garnished with chives. Very easy to make.

Thinking of what my dad and brothers like..they are partial to roast pork belly, bacon (has to be crispy), or fish and chips. If its a chinese takeaway they'll always order yang chow fried rice, ho fan (rice noodles with beef) and spring rolls.

I think the chinese palate is definitely inherited.
When I read the Old Testament and all the trouble the Israelites went to to slaughter their animals correctly, and then cook them for a sweet savour, it reminds me that God loves bbq. He would sacrifice a lamb to roast.

Roast leg of lamb is also a favourite. Usually with gravy, roast potatoes, and pumpkin. And peas or beans. Huh now I am hungry. As they say, a way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

 

[Starsdance7]

通常是米饭，配上绿叶蔬菜和蛋白质，比如三文鱼、豆腐、鸡蛋或铁板牛排。
我也喜欢羊排配土豆泥和豌豆。

我最喜欢的菜是番茄鸡蛋配黑豆和大蒜，再撒上一些韭菜。做法很简单。

想想我爸和我哥喜欢吃什么……他们偏爱烤五花肉、培根（一定要脆的）或者炸鱼薯条。如果是中式外卖，他们总会点扬州炒饭、河粉和春卷。

我认为中国人的口味肯定是遗传的。
当我读到旧约圣经，看到以色列人为了正确宰杀牲畜，然后烹制出美味佳肴而费尽心思时，这让我想到上帝也喜欢烧烤。他甚至会宰杀羔羊来烤着吃。

烤羊腿也是我的最爱。通常配上肉汁、烤土豆和南瓜，还有豌豆或豆角。嗯，现在我都饿了。俗话说，抓住男人的心，先要抓住他的胃。

 

[Starsdance7]

哈哈，我已经饿了。看到你兴高采烈地描述这些食物时，我正在享用午餐：一个红烧土豆包子，两个芹菜猪肉包子，还有一小碗小米粥。好怀念以前一周吃两三次烤肉炖菜的日子啊，哈哈。我以前可是个十足的“肉食动物”。
