Once upon a time, Chinese used to say " 要捉住男人的心先要捉住他的胃" which means if you want a guy to be attracted to you, you must be a good cook. One of my friend said, this is not applicable anymore.
I don't know whether the theory is still applicable now. I guess things could be more complicated now. During the old time, most woman is not educated. Woman is expected to be housewife and to give birth. Some have to work to support the family, hard work. I am talking about Chinese family here. Most Chinese used to have many children and it could be a dozen sometimes. Some women still give birth at age of 45. Many of them are good cook.
Now, most of us are educated and have good jobs (excluding those have no chance to study). When we are young, parents expect to study hard and be the best in school. Some parents even expect the daughter to learn piano, ballet, drawing and etc. Then, boys expect you to be smart, funny, sexy, slim and pretty. I am talking about boys in general. Most of us are afraid to put on weight. We want to be fashionable; we want to look good, we spend lots of money on clothes, bags and shoes. Guys said to their girlfriends or wives, "I don't mind what you wear; you are always beautiful in my eyes." Don't believe it 100%, it could because you are using his money. We are still expected to have baby after married, take care of house chores, cook and continue to work, be slim, pretty and sexy.
Sometimes I wonder how could we live up to so many people's expectation? However, many of us have made it, many of us is a good student, worker, wife and mother. Cheers....
