In answer to the question raised about male singles being able to cook.
Yes I do and have been told that I do very well at it. (chinese food is
my specialty). The logic behind getting good at it was that the perpared
food youd have to live on otherwise gets old in a hurry. As I'm single
(an apparently destined to stay that way) its either cook it myself or
do without. 

Just as an aside, I think its important that people be able to fend for 
them selves. Dependencies on others can wreck a relationship. People realize
that they are dependent and tend to resent the people that they depend on.
Examples men who can't cook do laundry and other housework.
women who can't use tools and have never held a job outside the house.
either sex which have never had to run their own finances (people who havent
managed their own money don't know is value or lack of value )

General question to members of both sexes. When meeting members of the 
opposite sex in social situations, what do you find other than looks
that interests you right away. What tends to turn you off immediately.
I realize that these are matters of personal preferances, but am mostly
curious. Also I discount appearances, because beauty is only skin deep.
Ugly of course run clean through to the bone.

Enough rambling.

Please post responses as my mailbox is full enough.
