Why Are Women Like This?

- I've recently seen a new phrase around TikTok, "girl dinner". The term 'girl dinner' seems to be first coined by a girl on TikTok who showed her meal which consisted of an assortment of tiny food items left over in her fridge. The trend is pretty funny, but of course, some have taken it and put a completely new meaning behind the term.

I am a 64 year old woman. I grew up eating like this maybe once every couple of months. We called it "cocktail party" dinner. I raised my daughters having cocktail party dinner for a fun occasional treat. They are all in their 30s now and if I invite them over for cocktail party dinner they get giddy. 😂
Its ok for wemen to eat less. Us men like our wemen slender and fit.
@@Iamachad-qf6qj Any dude who calls women "wemen" is definitely a discord mod😭. Log off man your kittens are waiting for you
This is so sweet lol. You’re an amazing mom.
@@terakoinfinity9523 what is a "discord mod" by chance?
@@Iamachad-qf6qjmen should also take care of themselves. Women also generally like men who are strong and healthy.
Being normal has become such a novelty that most people need these food videos to be reminded yes, there are things everyone does.
Grow up. It was a super fun trend.
@@kellyemontana62 not really
it’s not that deep…..it’s just a cute new name for a timeless thing that a bunch of people do.
@@kellyemontana62more like you needed to grow up because it's no shit Sherlock moment. Everyone does this shit. It looks and make you stupid to post obvious things.
Couldn’t agree more
I wish Brett Cooper would start her own full lengh podcast, she is such a joy to listen to.
As long as she's shackled to The Daily Wire, she'll never have that freedom.
@@SirBlackReedsshackled?! This is her job 😂 she's not forced to work here and earn money.
@@SirBlackReedswhy so salty😭 she CAN quit… it’s a job.
@@kaiw522 Yes she is. It is called a contract, she is required to produce a set amount per month for a set number of years before the contract ends and she can leave. The Head of DW even called it working as a "wage slave" for a couple years.
Shackled? She seems rather unshackled to me, other than sneaking in her 3-minute advertisements, that woman speaks her mind. And quickly and loudly. @@SirBlackReeds
My family is from Serbia and eating a simple assortment of dried meats, cheeses, olives or pickles etc is one of the most common things in our household, especially when guests come.
deadass?
@@SwordNationzzyep, you can google "serbian meze platter"😂
I'm Dutch and I enjoy eating that in the weekends every now and then.
German dinners look similar. At least last millennia when I was a kid. Bread, butter, cheeses, cold cuts, cucumbers, tomatoes, anything you can create an open sandwich with. Warm meal was middle of the day. Unless my grandpa made his special fried potatoes. Then we even were called out of bed for it.
@@SwordNationzzwhat’s wrong with your ass?
My mom had “do as you please” dinners when she was not feeling like cooking. We ate whatever was in the fridge. I loved those days
@Brett.Cooper.. hullo mr bot
sounds like prime opportunity to get some extra chocolate milk
We called ours “fend-for-yourself” night 😂
Not when your wife does it for two weeks straight. She hated that by day three I was cooking porkchops, Bacon, and a pork loin. She went back to cooking.
Our mother taught us I do with my kids make a sandwick or make cereal lol
I think Brett has taken a crucial role in DW. With all the serious topics, her high quality, and wholesome content, collaborating with the other hosts, is really refreshing and much needed.
They still don't have a gamer host.
And she also can speak to most younger viewers, she understands and helps others understand
@@noskalborg723 I honestly don't think they need one.
@@i.ak.1684yes they need me to be the racist gamer but I can say whatever I want cuz I got melanin I just pull my race card whenever I say nigga or whatever the fucc
She Gives me hope for sure!!
I don’t think it blew up so much to be a trend, but because it’s so relatable. Everyone (or at least women) have their weird skimpy “dinners” and it’s hilarious how similar we are as people. I love the girl dinner videos 😂
My kids don't know this is "mom doesn't want to cook dinner" but it's their favorite. We gather all the cut up veg, lunch meats, couple blocks of cheese, fruits, and condiments and crackers and eat on the floor in the living room and watch movies. It's easy gets rid of left over stuff and we all feel special. Love to time it before I shop perfect for summer when it's too hot to cook. Good memories.
honestly, sometimes people think it’s “trendy” to have a eating disorder/not to eat.
***for everyone talking shit, i don’t just mean this meal. i mean in general, there’s so many people who think it’s trendy to “try and have eating disorders.”***
Along with many other things
it's just a trend tho they're just joking.
@@Salma______still not eating enough they will develop a eating disorder and it promotes eating disorder
What have we come to
Women on average are more susceptible to mass psychosis and social contagions. There are many examples of this, from the dance plague of 1518 to the spread of anorexia into Japan in the 1990s
When I first became an adult and left college and lived on my own, I had what I called surf and turf which was a steak and goldfish crackers. All beautifully arranged on a plate... That guy dinner
Bruh...thats fancy...
My "pasta" one night was noodles, spinach and ketchup...
Delicious.Olive Garden eat your heart out. 😂
Ohhhh the broke days. Sad then. Hilarious now.
@@justtrollinalong977 the sad part was it wasn't sad. I liked steak and I liked goldfish.... It was back when I was young enough to believe that my health wasn't as much of a factor :). I would sit and play world of Warcraft for 8 hours after getting home.
Now I make a more balanced meal for all of us seeing as I have a wife and kids. Your values change when other peoples health matter too ;)
@@justtrollinalong977 I gotta say your olive garden sounds really good
Pasta, canned tuna and ketchup for me !😂
I was actually talking to my husband about this last night and I mentioned to him, you know if we weren't married I would be eating a pink lady apple and a couple corn chips for dinner every night.
I have struggled with disordered eating/eating disorders since I was about 15 and as I said that to him I realized that being married and making food for us both has helped me recover from that mindset and way of living monumentally.
I still struggle with it sometimes, but now my mindset has shifted and my desire to provide a good meal for him when he comes home after a long day at work far outweighs my desire to just "graze" or even skip dinner with the excuse that I "wasn't hungry", when I really just didn't want to eat because of years of unhealthy thinking and habits about food.
Of course, as part of our marriage, I agreed to make the meals and I want to hold up my end of the deal as a principal on my part, but he is a very understanding guy who will come home from a 10-hour workday and make dinner if I feel sick or overwhelmed, so this is not something I have ever felt forced to do, and because of that, food means something so much more to me now. We share the workload and making meals for him now makes me excited to eat with him, excited to consume good food and try new things. I think that's pretty incredible, and 17-year-old me would have never believed that was possible.
Thank you for sharing this!
You are a good wife ❤
That’s beautiful!
That’s wonderful. I wish you two all the best.
I am hoping I can have the same journey. Eating is super complicated for me but I just got married and Caleb is an amazing person who helps me be way healthier. I am going to try and reform some of the toxic habits I've carried through teenage years
As a woodworker, I love the charcuterie board trend! It got me into using pure Tung Oil and helped me learn all kinds of tricks for filling surface imperfections and finishing.
Checkerboard wood platters are awesome.
@@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 Absolutely. I just made a chessboard pattern end-grain cutting board for my mom that's big enough to actually play chess on. Unfortunately, she refuses to use it as a cutting board, saying it's too pretty, so she's using it as a very chunky serving platter.
Brett, you absolutely hit the nail on the head when you said that when you’re in a healthy relationship it is an honor to provide a healthy meal for your husband. I never liked cooking and never thought I’d be a stay-at-home mom who does the cooking, but being able to cook dinner for my husband who works so hard outside the home to allow me to stay at home with our daughter is just another way I feel like I can show my love and appreciation for him. Cooking dinner has now become one of my favorite parts of my days. We both still enjoy a good snack dinner every now and then though.
She's married? 😭
I loved learning to cook when I started dating my now husband. I love the slowcooker (crockpot) and making stews and curry’s etc
If you make good food, no one complains about the leftover dinners when they happen. Growing up the closest we came to the snack dinners was the clean out the fridge leftover dinners.

Being the oldest of my siblings, I always got stuck with making everyone lunches and stuff. My siblings were super picky but meat rolled up, crackers, cheese and some fruit or something was a crowd pleaser. I knew I could get them to eat everything they needed to while having fun eating it so win win! We called them fun plates lol
That was like a staple lunch I had as a kid. Rolled up cold cuts, cheese and grapes or some type of fruit. I make the same thing for my son sometimes now too.
Kay, if your bf ever cheats on you, just know im right here for the rebound.
My mom called them fruit plates lol
Same here, but one of my siblings refuses to eat lunch meat, so I give him crackers and make him nuggets instead 😂
I am the oldest in my family but i am one picky here as compared to my siblings 💀
Clean out the fridge Friday's. Serves many purposes.
1. Cleans out fridge.
2. You get an inventory for grocery shopping.
3. You throw less food away.
4. Fun to see what you can make with what you have on hand.
5. New recipes and food choices will develop.

"not everything needs to become some conversation about the oppression of some person in society! It's a joke on social media." those are some of the wisest words I've heard in a long time. thank you for your common sense - very refreshing! haha
I am a woman and will be hungry all night if I snack with one of these "girl dinners". I need something warm and substantial. Leftover meals are fantastic though. 100%
Yeah I don't know if I have ever really had a "girl dinner" in my life.
If I'm having charcuterie, I'm making a full board.
When my husband isn't home, I still make a full dinner for myself.
I think the closest I have had to this is some leftovers for lunch and I probably didn't even nuke it cause I didn't want to talk to the office microwaves lol

I’m Irish. The Brits have something called a Ploughman’s lunch. It’s basically bread, cheese, pickles, cold meat and a piece of fruit. It’s centuries old. Many people here in Ireland do similar. This is not a new thing. Italians, French, Spaniards and most European countries have meals like this daily. Madness.
Yeah, Americans just put it all together and call it a sandwich and then act surprised about the original 😂
I know right! In Finland we have these kinds of ''meals'' as a snack like between lunch and dinner when you just got home and you're hungry but it's not yet dinnertime so you grab a slice of toast, cold meat like ham, cheese and fruits on the side.
One of my favorite meals
It’s the best thing. Mix and match bites. Not I’m hungry
Brazilians used to have a thing called "ceiar" - coming from "ceia" - free translation from supper (Meaning last supper from the bible)
Even on last supper, they had bread & wine. Christ literally did this with his disciples. Why are we even discussing this?
What's the next novelty? Girl bathing? Girl sleeping?
I recently started intermittent fasting and eat in a 3 hour window. I actually am really happy I did because aside from the health benefits, I have a lot less clean up to worry about and I can spend more time focusing on my kids and my husband. When my husband is off on the weekends, we sit and “graze” with our kids and watch a movie together. It’s a lot of fun and delicious 😊
So growing up in Germany what you call "girl Dinner" is called Abendbrot which means evening bread. And it's a traditional meal we ate every day. It consists of bread l, butter and cheese.
I spent my summers growing up with my grandparents in Germany. Guess what - THIS is a typical dinner in Europe. They eat the larger meal at lunch and a “typical” lunch as dinner. Nothing wrong with it.
THANK YOU!
It is hilarious how Americans think they have invented something new and they give it a cute name and it becomes some "new" trend.
In actuality, this has been a typical meal in countless cultures around the world for many many generations.
European diet is far superior to the American diet. American food is grotesque. That women with the crown had a whole damn carrot on the plate. They have no idea what food is in America
Same here, but I'm from Austria. It's just called "Brettljausn" or "Jause" in german. This is still my favourite dinner in the summer when it's too hot to cook.
I also find it funny that someone called "Brett" Cooper talks about this. ^^
Yep.... Germans call it 'Brotzeit'
*Typical in Germany. Not Europe. It's a German thing.
As a mom, I get “girl dinner” whenever I’m trying to cover every other base and end up eating whatever snacky things and my kid’s leftovers. It’s actually pretty nice to cook and share in a good meal at the end of the day. Let’s just hope my “oppressive” husband doesn’t expect too much from me in my strong suit (cooking yummy and nutritious meals) to cover for my obvious “weaponized incompetence” in fixing the car, plumbing, electrical, and everything else he takes care of with zero help from me.
Right lmfao, twitter and tik tok addicts can't comprehend a healthy relationship and sacrificing things for others
😮. You can’t say that. You’re evil!
/end sarcasm
How dare you!!
When no husband for dinner, I'm having g cheese crackers, pickles, graoes ... whatever that is quick an easy, no mess and light tasty meal. He'll yea!
I'm a stress starver, too. My appetite just disappears when I'm stressed. I actually have to make myself eat something, because I know I need to. I lost nearly 30 pounds from a recent stressful period.
thanks for showing me what this trend was all about. i was very confused until i watched this. you are amazing, brett
In Slavic countries this is a very common family dinner. Sourdough bread, hard cheese, pickles, then depending on the season fruit (apples, grapes, watermelon...) or in winter maybe some mayo, smoked fish... Around Hungary a very popular choice is a hard sausage. Yesterday and the day before I had Sourdough bread, hard sausage and hard aromatic cheese. My wife and my son had it as well.
The sausages are often home-made from animals raised by the same person who prepared the sausage, in the hills you can get home-made cheese. Fruit from your own trees and bushes, pickles made at home, fish caught by a family member... This is about as "natural" as you can get.
...hard sausage? Explain to the stupid American please!
In slavic countries my ass is a very common family dinner 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
This really confuses me as a Polish person. To me "girl dinner" sounds like a perfectly healthy and reasonable meal (personally, I skip bread/crackers). Because we don't eat a big meal for dinner. We eat our main meal around 3-6 pm, depending on work schedule, and don't break for lunch. Cooked dinner is a fancy, rare occurance
Its certainly a remnant of the American 1950s when the ideal household included a wife making nice, big dinners
and who has to make those pierogi?
@@michaelxz1305Do you know that pierogi dont grow on trees, and you have to make them first?
Yeah like ham, bread, cheese and vegetables are an average dinner of most Slovaks
As a fellow Pole, 100% same
Hey Brett, it would be really interesting to hear your takes on women's health tips - you sprinkle some here and there but i'd definitely listen to a full episode of it! Just a thought :D
lol I cant get over the little video of the hampster at 1:51. SO CUTE.
Based upon what I see in schools, malls and the beach, I am not too worried these diet trends are "trending" much in the USA.
It’s the result of the Standard American Diet which is causing an epidemic of type 2 diabetes.
Being pregnant - literally all I can stomach is a fruit plate and crackers at dinner time. Previously I made a full dinner for my husband EVERY night from scratch. I didn't realize how much it meant to me to care for him in this way, but I really miss cooking for him!
Same girl, same! Yogurt, berries and gronola are the only thing helping me survive at this point 😂
my sis, now preggo, only eats salty stuff. she never did. before she was the chocolate queen all her life. now she feels sick even thinking of sweet stuff, aside from one particular type of fudge that we cannot find in stores now (small company, you buy the fudge by kilograms not package)
Same! Mango and frozen grapes with crackers. Not to forget the orange juice.
I'm now almost 29 weeks pregnant, but the first 3 months I couldn't stomach much either, it was horrible 😂 we were with my husband's parents so he ate their food while I ate just plain cooked veggies and crackers 😂
I also enjoy a Saturday to tidy and clean. Growing up, I helped with laundry a lot. Not because I was being groomed to be a housewife, but because I enjoyed doing it and that was a way I contributed to the family.
On Sunday night, my husband and I occasionally partake in a "Girl's Dinner," consisting of various favorite cheeses, grapes, figs, cornichons, prosciutto, a baguette, a fine wine or champagne, etc. By no means is it a frugal dinner, actually quite the contrary, nor is is really healthy, although quite high in protein. But the funniest thing about it is that should that be the night we are enjoying this rather extravagant meal, it will also be the night that my mother-in-law phones from the other side of the country and is appalled that her son is having to eat "cheese and crackers" for dinner. No matter how old they get, mothers will never get over taking care of their baby boys. 🥰
I think it’s weird she eats pickle and chips after allegedly cooking full meals for everyone else but I suspect she’s the type who just gives her kids frozen chicken fingers and boxed mac & cheese thinking she “cooked”
My wife's ideal day: cereal for breakfast, yogurt for lunch, cereal for dinner.
I'm watching this literally making velveta dip for lunch for the entire family. You people are so young and unlived.
So my husband also eats like this. He loves a home-cooked meal, but never expects me to cook, and neither of us a culinarily inclined. Last night he had meat and cheese on jalapeño saltines with some cherries. 😂
Sometimes I like to cook, sometimes he brings home a prepared meal from the store. It’s not about gender, we both work and we do what we can to feed ourselves 🤷🏻♀️
Carrots and peanut butter is the treat I give my brothers dog after a long walk
A little insight from the old world here. In Austria/Bavaria Girl dinner is basically a normal "Brettljausn", which is a lunch/dinner on a wooden plate serving cold meats, sausages & cheese along some bread.
The majority of our households have this kind of dinner at least 2-3 times a week. I grew up on girl dinner basically.
Girl dinner is in a way a central European thing. (Since the medival times)
A guads Vollkornbrot, a reifer Kas und a Xöchz dazua is so guad 🤤
Abendbrot 😅
I just made a similar comment 😂 yup gutes altes Abendbrot
Abendbrot jeder nacht bei uns in DE
Here in England we call it a Ploughman’s lunch
Exactly! I’m a stay at home mom with a 14 year old, 13 year old and 2 year old and obviously I do the cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids! The kiddos have to do chores and help out. My husband will sometimes help out by doing the dishes and washing clothes but honestly he pays everything so that help is extra and awesome ! Not that he needs to do anything! I love to cook nice meals 😊 but snacking is just as good 👍
Not entirely related to the main topic of this video, but this came to mind when the woman was talking about being a wife.
I absolutely love being a wife. I don’t feel oppressed or used or like I’ve lost who I am when I became a wife. Being able to be a housewife, while my husband goes out into the world to provide for us, makes me feel incredibly honored and privileged. My husband respects and appreciates the work that I do in the home. I love being able to have dinner ready for when he gets home. As the wife and keeper of the home, I get to set the tone for the day/evening. By getting up and preparing breakfast and lunch for my husband, it gives him a boost in the morning and a better start to the work day for him. When he comes home and the house is clean and food is ready, it gives him a relaxing environment to unwind from the day. This is all to my benefit. We get to enjoy quality time in the evening together, and we don’t have to bicker about who’s going to do the dishes or sweep the floor next. I have my role in keeping the household running smoothly, while he is leader and provider of our family. It’s a wonderful harmony. Remember ladies and gentlemen, submission isn’t about value it’s for unity and function in the home.
I wish I hadn’t believed the feminist 🐂💩 and remained home enjoying doing what I now enjoy and wish I’d done every day when our children were home: house work and cooking. I don’t see it as work, I see it as caring for my people. I love having people over for dinner, especially if those people are my children. I also wish we’d had a couple of more kids instead of going back to school and then joining the workforce only to care for other’s children.
I also eat cheese, crackers and fruit. Lol it’s not exclusive from each other like that woman on the video said.
I’ve been chronically I’ll for the past three years so even though I was a house wife I wasn’t able to tend much to our home. My husband did and provided. Through sickness and in health.
Now that I am better I love being able to keep our home clean, functional, and a happy sanctuary for he and I. Ending the day with a nice dinner and more snuggle time means most to us. Everything you commented 100% felt that.
A lot of my friends actually eat like this, especially after a long day’s work and coming home too tired to cook or just not feeling whatever you prepped. It’s not bad on occasion. Some nice cheese, apple slices, bread, and maybe some dipping oil with spices. My favorite is apple slices with some no sugar added peanut butter. Never thought it was something to be celebrated or a revelation though. 😅
Once they're wemen its ok if they eat like this. Us men love slender wemen
@@Iamachad-qf6qj Bro learn to spell
A lot of places that arnt obese filled this is a normal lunch or dinner but not daily
This is funny. My husband has been out of town and I have been struggling to find the motivation to cook even though I have my son as well. There is something so satisfying about sitting down and eating dinner together. It is very rewarding and a time to bond together as a family! Some nights I don’t have energy for it but that’s fine!
I'm a 30 yr old Man.
I have never eaten just a Charcuterie Board/Cheese & Crackers for dinner! Yes I've done that for a Snack but not a meal.
Also, WHO THE F**K HAS LEFTOVER CHIPOTLE?!
I rarely eat Chipotle but when I do, I never have leftovers. Same for other times I get a Delivery/Restaurant meal. Unless it's a Domino's Pizza deal where you get 2+ Pizzas for affordable price, then it's 1 Pizza for Dinner that night & the other for tomorrow. The only other exception being if I go to White Castle and get a Crave Case then Half is 1 Meal the other Half is another Meal.
Oftentimes I make a big batch of something that lasts 3-4 days and simply reheat/eat a portion of it each day for my meals. Could be a big batch of Chili or Tuna Salad or Chicken Salad or Refried Beans or Corned Beef Potatoes & Cabbage Soup or Onion Soup or Beef Stew or Pasta Salad or some other Pasta dish or something else.
My husband and I have been married for almost 12 years and then together almost 14 years he kind of had an idea about what I used to call compartmentalized dinner like you eat it and pieces and I introduced him to like what everybody’s now calling “girl dinner” after we got married and he loves it. When that’s our dinner. He loves that but it’s usually a night that he hasn’t been working heavily in the sun and we have four kids. I have to take that into consideration, so does he. And it’s actually not that far removed from like history to eat like a heavy meal in the middle of the day and then eat a lighter meal before bed. People are trying too hard to read too much into this sometimes your body just needs a little something not anything heavy
My sister would definitely endorse that meal. It's what she has always preferred to eat. Cheese is mostly fat, and dietary fat - especially animal fat - is frowned upon these days. But that's probably due to an overdose of fake science. Animal fat is actually good for you, and so are naturally fermented pickles. Butter is good for you too.
Guys would get behind this if you add meat. In fact, some people would call it a sandwich or hamburger once you add meat.
"An overdose of fake science" is a real funny way to put "morons think because they found the answer through googling that it must be the pinnacle of the truth" lmao
My husband does most of the cooking because he likes it and is good at it. I have signature dishes I like to make, but he’s the house chef. I do the shopping and dishes. We both work and split other chores. Once every week or two, we decide to have “snack dinner,” which we each assemble from whatever is in the house. Our plates are almost always really different, and we are both happy
the fact that Brett is the RUclipsr version of a “girl dinner” aka the best Brett’s common sense is just so much sense that the people who make no sense don’t understand the sense she’s making . :)
I do this for lunches sometimes when I’m busy 😂
My go to is hummus with cucumbers, cheese and grapes, and then something doughy like pretzels or a slice of bread.
My mom is a “girl dinner girl,” and refused to cook or even learn how to. She “didn’t have enough time.” As a result, my brother and I grew up with malnutrition. My father also didn’t know how to cook, and since there’s no societal pressure on men to learn, he didn’t need to. Maybe not knowing how to cook (an important life skill) is not something to brag about on social media and maybe you shouldn’t have kids if you’re not willing to put in that work.
Still watching the video, but as someone who can and does cook, a fruit, cheese, bread and peanut butter dinner can be a decently nutritious meal.
Which is why everyone should learn to cook and about real nutrition .. my 6 year old can cook and my son will also learn .. it’s not rocket science to be able to cook eggs and beef
Yeah…. And while learning about nutrition completely ignore the food pyramid that was put out by the USDA. It’s a lie considering it was created by the food MANUFACTURERS of the USA.
Oh my. She might be single or her husband is out for the night. My favorite girl dinner is yogurt. Every night doesn’t have to be a full on meal- that’s why Americans are so fat.
It always frustrates me when women brag about not knowing how to good.
Congratulations, you lack a very basic skill thats useful in everyday life.
It's like being proud you don't know how to brush your teeth or wipe your ass
What’s ironic is (as a chef) the most social and hospitable thing we can do, eat together, has become a means to isolate and distance ourselves further apart.
Yes! In my family the kinda stuff being described is part of what we serve during holidays. But all these people seem to be eating solo.
People always find a way to get angry about something. It's kind of amazing
Yeah that's just my "lazy dinner." I ate cheese, summer sausage and Ritz for dinner just the other day. I didn't have time to cook and it was getting late
As a straight married woman with children, my family enjoys "girl dinner" quite often. Our after church Sunday lunch is usually "girl dinner", but we call it snack lunch. If we've had a super busy day and we (being both myself and my husband) are exhausted and don't want to cook, we have snack lunch for dinner. My kids love it, my husband loves it, and I love it. I've never felt like I'm some martyr who had to give up my life because I chose to get married and have kids. I actually love my life 100% more and am so happy to do life with my best friend and have "girl dinner" with him and the children we had together. You want "girl dinner"? Then have "girl dinner!" There's nothing stopping you except you.
Yes! Totally agree. Girl dinner is fun for everyone!
Yeah I don’t get the oppressive viewpoint because of course when women get married they have to assume wifely responsibilities… it’s almost like the men have to assume husbandly duties?
I don’t get why my generation keeps on blaming everything on happy marriages like geez are you that lonely with ur cat
I agree, it's not that serious! I'm a wife, and mother of 3. I cook a balanced meal for my family almost every night of the week, except Wednesdays, which we had dubbed "whatever Wednesdays". We grab whatever is in the fridge or pantry and everyone is happy. Sometimes we do it more than just on Wednesday. I love cooking for my family, and I also don't feel like a slave to it- win/win. I'd love to know how many of these women run to their own mother's house to eat dinner at the first call lol
I stayed home with our kids and had the best life! Got to travel with the kids and have fun playing all day with the kids! The house work was not an issue! My man supported us financially and it was AWESOME!
One of my favorite dinners growing up was Greek dinner where we’d get pita bread, hummus, veggies, maybe some ham and cheese, olives, and just get whatever. It was great. Also, just going to say this, any guy who can and does cook and clean definitely gets brownie points. Love your show Brett, it’s nice to see honesty nowadays from someone my age.
This is one of my favorite dinners. Little pita, little hummus, pickled peppers - chefs kiss
that has the "girls dinner" vibes but actually has a lot of nutrients!
Mediterranean dinners: smorgasbord of regional ingredients.
Girl dinner: sweeping all the crumbs and leftovers from a random refrigerator shelf, put some flowers and a glass of wine next to it. Bonus of you have a candle.
At this point, any woman that can cook and clean gets brownie points lmao 🤣
@@oldmanjinkinsskyrim737lol So basically non American women get brownie points.
CSB: My Mom's family are Mennonite and we have a 4th meal called Faspa. It is a community meal meant for fellowship at around 4pm in the afternoon. It is straight up grazing food. Dinner rolls, PB and J, cold cuts, Bothwell cheese, coffee and milk. I always reckoned that since Mennonites were farm people the women came up with Faspa so when the men came in from the day's work they would be distracted by the Faspa and not pick at the proper dinner food that they were getting ready.
Kind of like opening a book for your cat to sit on while you read your actual book.
I loved Faspa.
@@michaelxz1305 Hey now, a cucumber sandwich with dill and some salt and pepper on a spread of cream cheese is wonderful. 😁
"Kind of like opening a book for your cat to sit on while you read your actual book." LOL! I've never thought of doing that! 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
I lived on a cattle ranch during summer until high school and we had a four meal day. A light breakfast (usually toast with peanut butter and jam), lunch (eggs, bacon, pancakes etc), dinner (cheese, crackers, salami), and finally supper (what most would call dinner, a heavier meal with meat and veggies). This helped us through the 100 degrees plus days of summer.
I appreciate you, Brett! Thanks for talking about this.
I try to remember if there is an equivalence to this 'girl's dinner' in Chinese food, I really can't think of any. The closest I can think of is vegetables dipping yellow soybean paste.
My fiance and I have "Girl dinner" together all the time. Sometimes he will suggest it, sometimes I will suggest it. Usually happens on the days when we have a lot of house work to do and cant be bothered to cook dinner. We call it snacky dinner and we basically just have snacks until we've eaten something balanced.
I also loved the point you made about it being an honor to look after the person you're with if you're in a healthy relationship. He goes out to work and I stay home and manage the home. I love looking after him because he looks after me too and that's how we show one another we love each other.
This kind of 'dinner' was a staple in my house growing up. My mother is from Tahiti. So french hors d'oeuvres were in the house all the time. Every weekend when the parents were off from work, plates of cheese, pickeled food, pate, deli meats, munchy green food, crackers were laid out and we would snack on them all day long. No cooking required. Now married, this is a tradition I carried into my marriage. My husband loves this snack food. I was doing this trend before it was trendy
Ok, with the exception of the last few months (doing carnivore diet now) i would do summer Sausage, cheese, and crackers fairly regularly. It was a perfect lunch for someone who works out of a vehicle and doesn't want Fast food all the time. My personal favorite was club crackers and cream cheese. This was usually became lunch while doing computer work/games.
Now I will still do Summer Sausage and block cheese. I have also found large pepperoni or salami slices and ate them with the cream cheese (usually the 3" diameter slices)
Now for the scandal... 40 year old man that has been doing this for over 30 years and I don't see it ending any time soon as I currently have three summer Sausages in my work van.
As a boy who grew up in a single depressed mum family with 3 kids very poor, I devoloped OCD with over the top cleaning and wag 1 day a week to clean. Now I've had therapy and am messy as hell as an adult
Why do people have to turn everything into an issue? I've recently become a traditional housewife and I love cooking for my significant other and cleaning. It feels like I have a purpose.
One unexpected gain my husband and i experienced after quit my job and became a SAHM was that we BOTH got to finally have hobbies. When we were both working full time without kids neither of us got to enjoy our previous hobbies because we were so drained all the time.
I started skipping coffees due to my pregnancy and a series of debilitating headaches. Now, I do feel more tired in the morning but my focus and concentration has gotten so much better. I don’t forget things as much as I used to.
The other point that married women specifically may be missing is that it is an honor to serve your spouse and that’s part of a healthy relationship. You serve each other. He serves you and you serve him. It’s always about “what’s serving me?” That’s a recipe for disaster
People are really getting mad at something that was just a fun trend? I love the girl dinner trend because it is fun. People are digging in too deep on crap that really doesn't matter. And as a gen Z kid I am so sick of going to school and watching the world slowly end as we know it. I'm so sick of the world rn. Thank you so much for making me not feel crazy for what I think. Keep preaching girl your doing great!
That Brett casually drops that she had a "girl dinner" - followed by a steak is too funny. Be still my beating heart. Have the frou-frou stuff but anchor it with MEAT!!! Love it.
Brett I have to thank you, you may have saved my life, I've been having some homonal issues along side elevated suggar levels and infertility problems for the last 5 years and the doctors complettly clueless about the cause, if it weren't for the line "don't drink coffee with an empty stomach" I'll still be clueless about it.
I know is complettly unrelated, but thanks any way, greetings from Colombia!
I have never heard a more female post than THAT.
I just walk away from people who say things like "You don't gotta..." 😒😒😒
😎🇬🇧
lol yeah bro loving charcuterie boards is not just a girl thing i can confirm as a male charcuterie board lover myself 😂
I once had a rough day at work as a cashier, do I bought a jar of pickles, took it home, and I ate all the pickles and drank the juice. It was fantastic.
I am also a stress-starver. That's how I lost over 50lbs. Stress. I also drink coffee on an empty stomach daily, so I think I'm going to change that. Thanks for the tips, Brett.
Every time Brett take a pause and look at the camera I think an ad is coming. 😂
The best part about living by myself is I come home and I feel like having nothing but broccoli for dinner, and that's exactly what I have. A giant bowl of mini trees.
Mini trees!!! I love that depiction
Grazing in my family was food between meals. My mom had four boys between the ages of 18-10 in the house at once, and three girls (but they ate so little it was nothing in comparison). So during her once a week shopping, she usually got 20 pounds of sliced turkey, salami, and chicken (60lbs). She also got a couple of pounds of roast beef for my dad's lunches. She bought about half as much cheese, and jars of dill pickles. This was during the 80's thankfully. I don't even want to think what it would cost to feed three 6ft boys going through puberty at once nowadays. Let alone doing it for over a decade with four of them.
I read this in concern as I nurse my infant son knowing what will happen in a decade…lol
I have a little brother who is not even 2 yet and he’s already a pantry vacuum cleaner. He had a SINGLE bite of an ice cream sandwich and now he’s trained himself to open the freezer 😭
@@tayloranderson7966 It's like baby's phase two. Lots of eating, and sleeping, with periods of intense activity.
@@heardemsayy My mom would buy the freezer pop boxes of 200 at the stores. Think it was a buck per case back then. Ice cream was too expensive to buy enough of it.
@@heardemsayysame with my sister! Almost 2 and she knows how to open the deep freezer and get her a popsicle 😭

Girl dinner or medieval peasant? It cute that she thinks peasants could afford wine.
My husband will be the first one to say let's have coffee and toast if we have a busy day. It can be balanced if you do it tapas or chacuterie style with a lot of olives and stuff. However, it is not everyday or meal. Make sure you always have salami or something like that with it and you will have that protein.
The more and more I see of modern society, the more I'm glad as a 42 year old male I'm still single.
A year ago I joined two paid dating websites purely because I fell into the trap that society says you should be in a relationship, the one thing the experience taught me is how self centred people are now.
I tried in my profile to not only say what I was looking for in a partner but also what I could offer, stability, love, protection etc, what I noticed about a lot of the profiles I was seeing (I'm straight BTW so it was women I was matched with) was how self centric they were, it was all I want this, I want that, there was hardly anything about what they would bring to the relationship.
Maybe I'm just out of touch, who knows, but I've decided/ realised I'm going to be single my whole life - and I'm OK with that.
I've now watched the whole thing can't believe it's another "if you're a woman you shouldn't enjoy cooking for your fella because that means you're oppressed" I work, I cook after for my fella as he works a manual job. I am sick of people trying to tell me I'm such a victim because I enjoy cooking and a tidy house. If you plan properly you can both enjoy a beautiful meal or a picky tea It's easy!
My husband works his ass off everyday and because I love him and appreciate everything he does for us, I take care of the home and I enjoy it! I love cooking for him and making him happy. I feel like all of these things should come naturally in a marriage as long as you do things in the right way.
This is my 4 year old son’s favorite dinner minus the wine of course! He likes cheese, crackers, nuts, fruit and olives for dinner he calls it “snack plate”
"Girl meals" is done at least 3 days a week at my house not just stopping with dinner. My mother in law has had a lot of her intestine removed as well as a portion of her stomach so nutrition is something I try to pack I to every meal and since she can't eat as much they tend to be smaller meals throughout the day. I've struggled with weight my entire life it getting worse when I was bed bound for a year. We now do 5 meals a day per the nutritionist recommendations. I've lost 120 lbs in 2 years, my son has slimmed up something he struggles with due to medication and my daughter has noticed a change in her energy levels. Decent breakfast between 6 to get us started, mid morning snack around 10 consisting of random fruit pick of the week, lunch at noon which is usually not much more than the snack, dinner at 5 and a small snack around 8 so it has time to settle before dinner. Tunafish, apples and crackers are a fast and healthy light meal which can be turned into tuna melts for those more hungry eaters
As a married stay at home woman, “girl dinner” is a common thing 😂 it can be fun
I learned a lot here. For me (a guy) sometimes I'll have an appetizer dinner. Other times just graze. I just didn't realize there was this term. Folks need to relax, it's okay especially if you had a big lunch.
One translation of "dinner" into German is "Abendbrot", which literally means "evening-bread".
And eating bread with some kind of cheese or deli meat is still VERY common here.
Germany has the highest per capita consumption of bread and the largest variety in bread.
This type of meal is most common in Germany during the evening. Just called "Abendbrot" or "Brotzeit" and it is practised at least since the battle against Varus and his legions. And it is most likely common in several other countries and cultures, too.
Ye
For my family of seven, most Sunday dinners are a ploughman’s platter of cold cuts, veggies, and bread. So we’ve been “accidentally trendy” for years!
As for the woman in the video, it’s not your “girl dinner” that makes you a bad wife…
So...by your own standards you're a bad wife? I'm so confused by your comment.
@@TheNickleChick does it REALLY need to be explained to you?
@@mikestephens5346 this person made 2 completely contradictory statements. I would like what they were trying to say clarified because it sounded so retarded.
Why is it even called a "girl dinner?" What's "girly" about it? It's just food, picked for dinner by a lazy person. It might as well be something a guy would eat. It's more like a "lazy dinner."
The only thing that comes close to "girly" about it is women sharing ideas, asking for advice from other women, comparing their habits and realising they're doing the same thing.
@@tomsmith6513 I don't get that, either. This is what my father and I plan and buy every year for Christmas eve. My mom and my brothers cook the meal for Christmas day.
This cracks me up! I live in Phoenix and I started making this for dinner for my family just to avoid turning the stove on. Our kids love it.
Brett, could you please elaborate more on what you know of "...iced lattes first thing in the morning messing with our hormones..."? This is the first I've specifically heard of that, sounds like an interesting conversation. Love your show! 💗
I'm on a diet and I take an appetite suppressant in the afternoon. I don't eat dinner lol. But sometimes I snack because I don't want a full meal. I've been working on breaking the habit of eating full meals every meal because I don't need that much food and that's why I'm obese. If you're not hungry you do not have to eat, our body can handle it. We americans eat way too much, that it's novel concept to see people not eat large meals.
Cut out the carbs and watch the weight fall off.
@@allanmccullough8550agree low carb, fasting and no exercise you can drop weight. I would recommend some exercise though to keep skin from getting sagging as it adjusts to weight loss it needs muscle to attach to
Please don’t follow this advice and eliminate an entire macronutrient (carbs) for long term health. Complex carbs are great for gut health and hormone balance. Avoid the processed stuff and you’ll be ok. Totally agree that we’re used to eating too much as a society, a lot of empty and processed foods, especially
My dad has made “appetizer plates” for years. It was what he fed my siblings and I when my mom was somewhere. Pickles, olives, cheese and lunch meat 😂
"It is an honor to care for them"
That is so true! I love getting to show my partner how much i care for him by doing little things to help make his day better where i can. And guess what, he does the same for me. Relationships are a partnership, give and take.
I have a news shock for the lady in the video. I am a boy and grew up with 2 older brothers and i had a typical mom and dad. So it was 4 boys to 1 girl, and guess what we did the dishes cleaned the house, made dinners and breakfast, etc. Also, now living in college i live with 3 other guys and we go to the grocery store clean the house and cook together. Like... is making dinner and having a lazy dinner only a girl thing 😅 i mean come on aren't we all humans who need to eat and are also lazy sometimes
I think this is also a sign of the fact that so many people don't know how to cook nowadays.
it’s so sad tbh we’ve literally erased basic responsibilities trying to be more “progressive”💀
@@genesislovesjesus yep
This is one of the strangest trends ever.
Tiktok always has the strangest trends
I just started over last year, and every month I'm making improvements on my living area (spent nearly a year homeless, now renting a room in a friend's house). My room is by far the cleanest and most organized part of the house.
Part of that is because I fully schedule and document all of the administrative tasks in life, be they daily, weekly, or monthly.
Part of it is to be an example to the kids in the house that a clean and organized living area reduces stress.
“And then I had a steak later….” TOTALLY thought good ranchers ad was coming😂
