Jamaican men cooking

My Grenadian husband just said so many Jamaican men cook because they don’t want to eat from women or don’t want women cooking for them. Is there truth to this statement?

My grandparents are Jamaican and my grandpa was a good cook and cooked a lot but it wasn’t because he didn’t want to eat from my grandma. She cooked also, just not as often. I always thought it was because he was a better cook and enjoyed cooking.

Real Estate - Timeline for seller answer after offer to buy a land cash

What is the required timeline to get an answer from a seller?

Last March, we looked for some real estate options.

We like the option of land in a gated community so we can build the house we want.

We looked at the developer available lots and some private resale lots (people who purchased during phase 1 and are reselling).

We selected a lot we like from one private reselling lots.

After meeting face-to-face with the seller agent, we went through the ID and financial verifications (we are buying cash), and asked if it was negotiable.

We made and offer at $US 5,000 less than the asking price.

After 1 week, no answer. We contacted the agent who said the offer just went through the agency compliance officer and will now be presented to the seller.

After another week, we contacted the agent again, who now said the seller wants the full asking price, so we changed our offer to match the asking price.

It has been 4 weeks now since our offer. Still no written Answer.

 Is that normal in Jamaica?

PS: no money deposit yet.

Can anyone advise on how to upgrade a sole proprietor to a company if it is only one principal owner?

I have been seeing videos across social media talking about starting a LLC but I do not see where it allows a single member LLC in Jamaica. I am trying to gather information. And another question is it easy to get in kind donations to start a business?
