Eponine posted:What do people who think a mediocre spaghetti dinner is romantic and fancy eat on the regular? This is a serious question. I'm not a great chef and it's not like I plate my meals, but what do you usually eat that makes that special? Probably the food is always ordered at a burger place or just tossed in a microwave straight from a can or box. Maybe the dude spent more than 30 seconds of effort doing it and that makes it special for them.

I want to believe that the girlfriend does exist, she tried really hard to make that spag bol, and it's just her lovely boyfriend using his lovely phone camera to take a lovely photo that makes it look so lovely (I have tried taking photos of my room in low light with the flash on and it looks similarly atrocious). But I'm pretty sure the girlfriend doesn't exist and that's some microwaved spaghetti out of a box.

He'd ask mom to make something fancier but then she'd ask why he needs two plates.

I think it's because spaghetti is the only food that doesn't have a "fast food" equivalent (barring people's opinions on olive garden). Mexican food, for example, is much more involved to make but since taco Bell exists it seems like meaningful in these peoples eyes. When you're trying to impress 14 year olds who don't cook for themselves you don't get called out for the fact that spaghetti takes like 10 minutes and zero effort to make

Filled with what appears to be not champagne, which is fine, but it also makes this look like a bunch of kids having a fancy dinner. Which is cute I suppose. But then you realize it's a plea for help on imgurr of all places. Realistically this is probably some high schooler who snagged a previously opened bottle of wine from his/her mom's fridge and made the one thing they know how to make. I used to do the same thing with waffles, and I thank God every day that the Internet wasn't a big enough thing for me to embarrass myself on at the time.

The horrid flat condensation-covered "champagne" was the first thing I focused on, possibly in an attempt to keep from processing the rest of the picture.

He brought filet mignon he stole from his brother's wedding and my roommate lent us one of those tiny electric tea candles (since you weren't allowed to have an open flame )

I think you guys are really stretching it with that picture. It's just a couple plates of spaghetti and some Champaigne or whatever. I've seen plenty of pictures/posts of people talking about their SO making them dinner with a mediocre photograph on Facebook and nobody gives a poo poo about the quality of the photo, or food, or whether the bra in the background was a fat lady's bra.

Did these people ask for upvotes to show their SO that the Internet approves of their actions? And yes, the spaghetti looks vile. Probably made using McCormick spaghetti seasoning.

The STDH part of it is that his girlfriend made it and that she wanted to see how many points it could get to save their relationship or whatever. The fact that the food looks like poo poo is irrelevant, but it can be funny to see what some (alleged) adults consider "fancy" eating. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 06:57 on Apr 21, 2016 |

Yeah, as sad as the spaghetti looks, it is sometimes an easy thing to cook. And indeed it could be some sweet kid who doesn't know how to cook anything else cooking up a sweet dinner for her boyfriend. What is really sad, and awkward is the pimping out of the photo for internet points. The convoluted story, (I have a girlfriend, I really do), the desperation, (please like me, whoops I mean her. It is so important for her that you click the like button.), and the fact that it is probably all staged make it a thousand times worse than just a picture of some mediocre food.

I'm not a great chef and it's not like I plate my meals, but what do you usually eat that makes that special? Takeout, breakfast cereal, frozen pizza, ramen, anything with instructions reading "remove film before microwaving" I (briefly) had an SO in college that ate like that, and one day she invited me over to celebrate an internship that I'd just gotten. Said she'd spent a shitton of time getting everything just right. I get there, and in the middle of her coffee table, flanked by candles, is a serving plate. I'll give you a chance to guess what this fancypants I-slaved-all-day meal was. Hamburger Helper Now I'm no five-star chef, and I've eaten some po-folk/lazy-folk food in my life, but I've never beamed with pride at my ability to brown ground beef and then dump poo poo in the pan. I was floored. At first I thought she was kidding, but nope. If social media had been around back then, there'd definitely be a badly-lit photo of a heaping plate of ground beef box dinner tagged #congratsfai #cookingformyboy #wifeintraining floating around somewhere.
