2sure Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 For casual dating, it doesnt matter. But I would not consider marrying or living with someone who was not prepared to share the work of cooking at all, its part of day to day living. Simeone who says they simply cannot or do not cook....is lacking in a pretty basic life skill as well as unwillingness to correct the problem.
Author dudet Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 They say a man who is a good cook, is a great lover. He is very good with his hands and he pays attention to details! i believe you are correct
aerogurl87 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 I don't really care if a guy can cook or not, I can cook my own food so it's not a big deal to me.

I have noticed from your posts that you are one of those very easy to please type of women. Not to be confused with easy. There needs to be more of you out there *applaud*
thegreatmoose Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 It seems like some women say it's a plus and other don't care either way. I don't see any that say it is a negative. There's nothing to lose by becoming a better cook. I'm cooking my dinner tonight.
donnamaybe Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 I'm a great cook, so it doesn't matter if a guy can cook or not. However, a guy who CAN cook comes across as more self sufficient to me.
phineas Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Basic essentials are necessary, whether on the stove or on the grill. It proves self-sufficiency. I eat PB&J for dinner sometimes. That's being self-sufficient right?

donnamaybe Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 I eat PB&J for dinner sometimes. That's being self-sufficient right? Make a PB&J and spread the outsides with butter and grill it like a grilled cheese. YUM!

donnamaybe Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Sometimes being able to cook can indirectly help. Actually, it can very DIRECTLY help!
phineas Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Can you cook basic meals besides PB&J or Kraft Mac'n'Cheese? I was semi-serious. Sometimes when I don't have the kids to cook for I can be lazy. Actually I've got a gas grill, George foreman grill, quesa' dia maker, & rice vegetable steamer & crock pot. I can prepare meals with all of those. I've got a stove with an oven but all I do with that is cook chicken & make eggs / bacon. I do have a woman friend that is feeding me recipies for the culinarily challenged. we are talking forrest gump simplicity. Man cooking from scratch is a lot of work & time though. all kinds of respect for the cooks out there.

My man likes more man-type dinners, which I don't mind and actually enjoy cooking, as long as he cleans, which he does. You know the basics and more. You'll do fine!
Ingenue Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 I love food and what would bother me more is if the man I was dating didn't love to eat. My current bf tries to cook, but doesn't do it well. He's yet to cook for me, claiming that his culinary creations are not fit for human consumption. His enthusiasm to try new foods, appreciation for the meals I cook for him and his compliments on my meals more than makes up for his lack of cooking skill. Plus, he always insists on doing the dishes. That to me is more important than whether he can actually cook or not.
