Today, I spent a solid four hours and over one hundred dollars preparing a nice fancy meal for my new girlfriend. A delicious three pound rack of ribs with a sweet and sour marinade. Steam broccoli with melted cheese. Home made buttermilk biscuits. I serve the meal. She doesn't eat beef. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent a good deal of my afternoon preparing a nice dinner for my girlfriend. When I finally served the meal, I proudly presented her with a beautifully arranged plate of salmon. She looked at it and said, “You know I’m allergic to fish, right?” We had cereal for dinner instead. FML
Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend by cooking her dinner. I spent hours preparing and making sure everything was perfect. I lit candles, set the table, and even put on some soft music. When she came home, she'd already eaten and wasn't hungry. FML
Today, I spent 5 hours preparing dinner for my fianc''s grandparents, whom I've never met. At dinner, his grandmother says to him, "If you're going to pick someone to spend the rest of your life with, at least make sure she can cook." I'm the executive chef at a 4 star restaurant. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML
Today, I spent my entire day off making a brisket. It had been cooking for 8 hours when, just before dinner, I went for a quick jog. In that time my girlfriend came home and ruined it by trying to make it the way she wanted. I'm a chef and she's an office worker. We couldn't eat it. FML
Today, I invited a friend over for dinner and spent hours preparing a fancy meal. When I opened the door, he walked in with his new girlfriend, his mom, his sister, and his dog. I barely had enough food for one, let alone five. I ended up serving my fancy meal on paper plates. FML
Today, I thought I would be cute for my one year anniversary with my girlfriend, so I cooked a three course meal for her with candles and rose petals on the floor. She loved the dinner, except now she's passed out in a food coma upstairs while I'm left with the dishes. FML
Today, I made a healthy, delicious dinner. My girlfriend picked at it until it went cold, then stuck it in the fridge. Later, she devoured a giant bowl of sugary cereal, then complained all night that her stomach hurt. This happens a lot. FML
Today, my girlfriend's parents wanted to cook dinner for me. After a whole day of cooking up a storm, her parents cooked an elaborate meal of roast lamb, pork chops and grilled chicken. Rejecting a meal is like spitting in ones face in Chinese culture. I'm vegetarian. FML
Today, I spent 4 hours making a cheesecake for my brother's girlfriend, which she begged me for a week to make. After my oven breaking and having to buy a new hand mixer, she tells me she's not going to eat it because this morning she decided to try being a vegan because, "it sounds interesting." FML

That sucks, but before you go all-out on a meal like that you should at least know what she likes and doesn't like.

first of all, it's marinade. the word marinate is the act of marinading. and it's steamed broccoli not steam. and yeah, you should have known that she didn't eat beef.

Ummmm that all sound a hell of a lot like "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days"! Maybe she's telling you something!

ribs can be beef; they're not always pork. I think it's ridiculous for anyone to say he should dump her just because she doesn't eat beef! WTF! And OP...if you were cooking for her as a surprise, you should have casually asked her if there are any foods she doesn't eat(allergies/taste, etc) prior to making the meal. If it wasn't a surprise, then she's got some explaining to do. I don't eat pork and I let people know. And as for anyone who's saying she should have still eaten it...some Hindus don't eat pork for religious reasons. Eating it any way to please some guy is kind of a tall order to ask of her.

Your girlfriend sucks. Dump her. She should have eaten it anyway. Send it to me, on ice! :-)

This is why you always find out what a girl does and doesn't eat before you cook for her. Nice gesture, but think ahead next time.

Nice try though...I am vegetarian but I would still eat the rest of the stuff you cooked. As long as she was nice about it and didn't tell you in a bitchy way then keep her. Otherwise ditch her because if she cared about how you felt she would've made sure you didn't feel totally bad about it since you put so much time and money into it. Thats super sweet though!!! I wish my boyfriend would do that (minus the meat for me lol).
