I would never tell a girl to "go make me a sandwich!" If I find a girl, I know that she is my equal, and if I have any requests, I'll do so in a nice way. If a girl makes a sandwich for me, I want her to do so not because she is obligated to, but because she willingly wants to do so out of the goodness of her heart.
To say "go make me a sandwich!" seems kind of arrogant. I have no right to make demands like that. I can make polite requests, and that's it. I can say "I really like the sandwiches you make, and they're the best sandwiches I have ever eaten in my life. Could you please make me your delicious sandwiches?" I have to do this sincerely. I can't praise her to flatter her to get my way. In fact, if a girl really loves me and really understands me, then I don't even have to ask. She'll know that I like her sandwiches, and will have no problem doing that for me. I won't take it for granted.
It might have a little to do with parents, but that's not going to solve anything. Sometimes, people that are arrogant are like that because they are used to getting their way, used to their parents making them food (they come home and they start to take things for granted), without realizing that it takes time and energy to do these kinds of things.
It is not completely due to parents though, just like it is not completely a joke. Sometimes it could be a joke, and that's fine. But it isn't always a joke.
It's sammich, and not anymore. It was funny at first. Now it's kind of overplayed.
But, if you are going to be friends with a guy, you should expect jokes thrown your way. That's why I think they make much better friends. lol They entertain me so much more.
Lol usually it's done playfully, my guy friends use that phrase every so often when I'm being purposefully difficult and defiant. I did make one of my friends a sandwich though one time because I was feeling nice and giving. Lol we also have this joke where I'll say, " can you please do this for me?" and one is like..." well...what are you going to do for me?" Then I slowly drop to my knees as if to ready myself to give him oral xD it's always funny, and I try to do it in the most awkward and crowded places :P
I don't know, you can play along, but if your woman hood or irritation level feels really insulted - then tell him it's not very funny and kind of annoying. Naturally he's going to say something about you being offended because your a girl, just shrug him off and be like nah, your just annoying when you say it all the time.
Or you can surprise him and actually bring him a sandwich.
I got my bike fixed, lunch paid for, and borrowed a surplus of video games for a simple peanut butter and jelly.
Men are too easy to please lol :D
Honestly, I think its because they are jealous of the old days when women DID stay home, the men went to work and made the money, and when the man came home their dinner was on the table, if it wasn't then women got the third degree. "Where's my dinner? I come after a hard day at the office and all I get for dinner is this stuff?
I think its wishful thinking on his part, he would love to have a woman like that, but times have changed and now women refuse to let a man tell her what to do. :)
They do it because they were raised that way. Their mom took care of their father that way and if dad wasn't around, well they took care of your guy that way. Now, there are some guys that are aware that though they may have been raised this way they should not be asking their partner to do this, but they say it anyway to see if you will be up for taking over where mom left off or just to mess with you.

It's our version of a test.
You know how girls have their own tests that they make the boyfriend do? And never tell him his being tested?
(Don't lie. You know exactly what I'm talking about.)
Well this is the guy version of that test.
How the girl reacts will tell us everything we need to know about her long term prospects as a girlfriend.
that's why we, men, are with you - women. and you should be a good girl and make him a freaking sandwich already.
you should be grateful and honored that he wants a sandwich from you.
As a joke or to get on your nerves
Although it's no joking matter to wonder why you're here on the internet, and not in the kitchen instead...
No, I don't do that. I'm healthy enough to make my own food.
some guys just have no respect for others it could also be a gender thing. he has no respect for women.
My guy friends say it all the time! Its a sexist joke they enjoy. But my mates are slowly learning not to say it to me so much or they get a dead arm! :P
This pig was raised spoiled by his MOM and perhaps even his DAD loves to get waited on constantly.
A sandwich is a treat, guy feels special but all the time = pig
Its pissing me off too.
Same with 't*ts or gtfo.'
Saying it once or twice as a joke is okay. But repeatedly saying it is disrespectful.
It's just a joke. Men always make sort of insulting jokes, especially at each other. If a male friend says it to me, I tell him to get back in his DIY shed :p
if a your girl is capable of walking to the kitchen, you don't deserve a sandwich.
Some say it to kid, others to troll. I've said it once or twice to a good friend. She got me back though. lol
they're lame and unoriginal?
Becaause... they don't respect you?
Because some guys are lazy and apathetic.
he doesn't have to tell me. I make one everyday.
I first heard that joke back in 95, I feel old
Because guys are stupid
