The stereotype of women only being concerned with clothes, cooking, and gossip is in need of serious reevaluation. While a lot of women do enjoy these things there are plenty of other ladies out there who remain clueless to the latest fashion or 30 minute meal and are more concerned with how the Patriots are going to do this season.
Similarly, there are men out there who enjoy donning an apron and getting crazy with the spice rack in the kitchen, cooking up all kinds of concoctions while perhaps sporting a pair of Dolce and Gabana dress shoes. Both men and women push the gender lines placed around them, but instead of fighting or succumbing unwillingly to them they should blend those lines and incorporate one another into their world. Satellite TV can help bridge the gap between people in relationships and help them understand one another a little better, regardless of what their gender says their interests should be.
A woman married to a sports fanatic could simply dismiss his enthusiasm as mere "machismo" and go along her merry way leaving him to enjoy his testosterone, or she could try and spend a little time in his bubble. By spending a little time watching football with her husband a wife might come to see that his subscription to NFL Sunday Ticket was a really great investment and that football is not simply a meeting of large men just throwing themselves against one another.
Along this same train of thought, a man would be doing himself and his relationship a big favor if he took interest in what his other half was doing. If a woman really enjoys cooking and marvels at the skills of the chefs on The Food Network then her partner should take some time to sit with her and appreciate the culinary art taking place in front of them. Simply burping and telling her it was a great meal does not convey the same amount of respect or concern for the effort that went behind the meal's creation. Perhaps watching an intricate pasta sauce simmer in high definition will inspire a man to join his lovely counter part in the kitchen for some tag team cooking, adding some spice to their relationship.
These scenarios falls neatly within the confines of the gender lines, but the idea of showing interest in your partner's hobbies is good no matter the gender. If someone's girlfriend has an expansive knowledge of cars and religiously uses her satellite TV to watch "Monster Garage", sitting down with her and learning about the different components of a motorcycle's engine could add a little extra spark to the relationship as well as acquired knowledge they can share with one another.
When a man concentrates heavily on his style and the fashion world around him some just dismiss him as being effeminate without taking the time to appreciate why he possesses such interests. Moving beyond the restrictions of gender roles, his other half could share in his love of fashion by watching an episode of "Project Runway" and witnessing first hand the delicate and demanding work that goes into clothes production. Satellite television can act as a catalyst for bringing couples closer together and arriving at a better understanding of the other's interests in spite of what they are "supposed" to like.
