Have you ever bought take-away food and tried to pass it off as homemade? As James mentioned before, it seems to happen with a fair amount of
regularity. Too bad that the survey couldn't cover how often the eaters of the semi-homemade meals were actually
fooled.
One thing that the survey did reveal was that young British women said they were more impressed by a man who could cook than by a man with a flashy car. Since cooking classes are significantly cheaper than cars, it could be well worth a shot, guys. But don't ditch that car entirely. One of Freud's most famous questions was "what do women want?" after which he concluded that "women were meant to be loved, not understood." Since women in the survey were twice as likely as men to pass off take-out food as homemade, it seems that perhaps some women don't value actual cooking ability as much as the appearance of it.
