Guys...Do the Ladies really need to know How To Cook??

I mean seriously if she exceeds in all other areas, is it too much to ask that she leave the cooking up to you? Do you hold her lack of cooking skills against her?

Ladies...Guys who know how to throw-down in the kitchen are incredibly sexy aren't they?

 

I wouldn't really care if she cooked or not, I can do it just fine myself, and even kind of enjoy it. Cleaning up the horrible mess I will undoubtedly make on the other hand...

 

If you were a guy, I would say "It's OK if you want to do all the cooking."

Since you are a woman, I will respond by suggesting that you ask him. How does he feel about doing all the cooking? How do the two of you feel about him teaching you to cook? (In the process of him teaching you how to cook, both of you would learn things about your relationship.)

I don't want to tell anyone how this guy should feel about cooking. He and his opinions are the ones you are in a relationship with.

Ask him! Consider that he may react to you "fixing" his feelings the same way that you would react to his "fixing" your interest in cooking.

 

I'm out of luck if cooking (good cooking, that is) is a requirement in a relationship! lol And yes, a guy with cooking skills is incredibly sexy.

 

I'm sorry, but I'm not a good cook, we eat out alot. My kids hate McDonalds..Anyway, we eat alot of boxed food that I can throw in the oven.

 

i love to cook and dario, my fiance' loves to cook as well. we cook together a lot...it's fun

 

i don't cook at all (except for some simple stuff that takes 5 min) and I have no real intentions of learning...unless *i*decide i want to start cooking for myself. if and when i ever get married, my husband can fend for himself in the food dept and I can fend for myself...or if im cooking something i'll make extra and vice versa. i would never waste my time with a guy who actually expected me to cook him meals.....pfft. (and on the same note i woudnt expect him to cook my meals either)

 

I suppose women don't need to know how to cook to have a good relationship.
But really isn't cooking something everybody should know how to do passibly well?

Also there is something somewhat intimate about ingesting and enjoying food a friend has put effort and personality into preparing. Of course this should go both ways ideally.

Really, its just a positive attribute a person brings to the table when attracting mates and friends. Certainly some men do attach enough importance to it to make it a deal breaker however. I personally wouldn't go that far, but cooking skill surely isn't an insignificant piece of the relationship puzzle. In short term relationships its a much smaller piece, but if you intend to cohabitate you will be eating quite a few meals together and everyone enjoys tasty food.

 

I cook, he cooks. I am probably the laziest when it comes to cooking though so he ends up doing most of it.

 

i love to cook, mostly on the BBQ on a shiny day supa hot almost naked (but not naked) but like someone alrdy said, I hate to clean the mess.

 

My husband said it wasn't important to him. We eat out a lot and micro-ed food. The only thing I occasionally cook is spaghetti bolognaise or rice and he makes me a cup of tea every morning and occasionally bakes cookies.

 

Nicely said.
I completely agree.
I generally find it very sad that less and less people know how to prepare a tasty meal from fresh ingredients.
Food is one of our main energy sources and when I say energy I mean not only the amount of kalories it has, but also the love that has gone into it's preparation.
I cook almost every day and if I don't feel like it my man does and I couldn't live with somebody that put's no value into a healthy diet.
We don't have a microvave in the house and will never have one. Check the following links for information on hazards of microvave cooking:

I think it is important for a woman especially to know how to cook. Box and canned crap shoved in kids faces at home n then fast food garbage out n about does nothing for kids cept for make them lil gluttons. Adults as well need good cooked food least in my opinion,,, giveum garbage all the time n seems to me that is what our bodies turn into is dumps....

I do all the cookin round ere and always have,,, i love it and would love my own lil restaurant/ cafe someday..

If a couple decides amongst themselves that tis better for the health n welfare of couple that he should be cookin n they can work it out then tis kewl he cooks,,, hell i would not mind someone else cookin occasionally..

 

I think that since women have almost always been the cook in the house, not to mention she usually cleans too, we are often expected to cook and clean. But now, both parents need to work full time to provide for their families (in most cases), limiting time for cooking and cleaning. This so often reults in eating out, which leads to gluttony and obesity. Men AND women should know how to cook. Also, there are those selfish men out there who expect their house to be cleaned by the woman. When they are asked to do laundry or cook, they screw it up on purpose so that they're not asked for help again. I am a vegetarian and know how to make a meal without adding meat. I also despise constant eating out. Think about this: In some countries, people are dying because they don't eat enough. In America, some people are dying because they eat too much.

 

I'm no gourment chef, that's for damn sure, but since going vegan I've kind of had to become a little better in the kitchen. Like most of the other kind-dudes have already mentioned, I love to cook and would totally form a relationship with a girl even if she couldn't/didn't like to.

As long as she can give good massages.
