1. Cooking - Men would much rather go out to dinner if they have the money, if they don't most know how to use a microwave and maybe an oven
2. Gossiping - This one is self explanatory
3. Knitting - Men don't want homemade sweaters for christmas and they'd rather just go to walmart and pick something out
4. Watching chick flicks - there's a reason they are called chick flicks, they are man repellent in video form

1) Not only do men LOVE a really well cooked meal, they often become incredibly competitive themselves in their attempts to be the world's best chef. (Never a "cook"... that title is reserved for the women.) I'm an extremely good... cook. My brother and father are, on the other hand, massively skilled chefs. I'd pay through the nose at any restaurant, and they wouldn't match up to the boundless ego driven excesses of these two men who love good food and want to best each other.
As you can imagine, my visits home are great... I don't have to cook, the men are showing their menus off. It's fantastic.
2) Gossiping... Yes, I agree. Gossiping is the death of everything. Culture, community, conversation... we ought to lock all the gossips up and force them to listen to other people talking behind their backs...
3) Knitting's not that bad. You can knit while your fella is watching the football. He's happy, you're happy, you end up with a nice pair of socks.
4) People watch chick flicks? I mean, really? Actual human beings, of any gender, watch chick flicks?
Sheesh, they deserve each other... I thought the whole thing was a practical joke!
5) Surely most people are far more experimental than that? It's not like I kept tags on it, but that was something that maybe we indulged in 25% of the time... we had all sorts of other things to keep each other interested. And as I recall, my husband was always most certainly entertained, even when we used the dreaded MP form of "getting it on."
