One of the things I like about cohousing is that someone that is a
good cook is going to cook the common meals.  I like to eat a good
meal that is not what I cook.  A guy can do other things at the
community like the electricity, plumbing, caring for the cars, raking
leaves etc.  Most of us single guys would like a good meal that is
not a can of Chili Mac in a soup pan.
