Or is in need of it in some way.
Thanksgiving plates are all about personal ratios. I like a lot of stuffing, for example. And while I know the foods my wife prefers - there’s no way I’d get it exactly right (nor would she for me) so unless she NEEDS me to, no - im not gonna volunteer that.

but yeah, what ryan said...if its a meal with multiple options, people wanna make their own plate.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

If you and yours are complete strangers, I suppose.
We both know exactly what to put and what not to put on that plate.

I refuse to cook. lol Which I don't think they want me cooking anyway. hahaha
But I'll gladly do clean up (before and after if we're hosting), store runs if needed, handle kids, entertain guest, etc. But I'm only in the kitchen when it's time for food.
She likes to make my plate (so I oblige lol) but there's been occasions where she was handling a few other things and I just made her a plate. And I ask what she wants (depending on venue and who cooked what food...those choices change).
But most of the time, she's ok with the division of duties.

I would. No problems on looking out for Mrs. Jimmy. This isn't one of those 'woman proposing to the man' type gender roles convos, is it?
In general, my wife will try to make my plate for me and I'll be on some old 'let me do it cuz I need to see what I'm gonna want, how much, and all of that'. For her, its kinda the same deal. She might not know what she wants for sure until she's making the plate, putting it together, and seeing how it all looks.

Im against chauvinism if that's the root of anyone's "no", especially if it comes with the expectation that the woman is supposed to fix the man's plate

I have baggage behind families telling other grown adults how their lives should run. one of the only non-negotiables in a relationship should be mutual respect

if I asked or was busy.
never understood why this is a big deal for some people.
why wouldn’t someone do something nice for their SO?

I'm Vegan. Sometimes she doesn't eat that way. Especially when folks are offering rare delicacies. Though, I do have her second guessing everyone's ability to prepare meats lol.
