Do Women Really Need To Be Good Cooks? | Recipes &Amp; Cooking

i think it's not important if the relationship isn't series that's Ok other ways it's very important
















u r cute^_^

"Loving don't last, but cooking do" is the old proverb, and I think that if anyone is a good cook it is a clear demonstration that they have mastered patience (vital in a relationship) and other things that go into a relationship to make it work.

I am a totally average/not brilliant cook myself, but I notice that all the relationships that really work have one partner who can cook pretty well!

A good meal mellows people out and gives a sweet surge of euphoria and contentment.  It is, I think, a big factor in making a relationship work!  But the good news is that in a relationship only one of you needs to be a good cook and more and more men are taking over in the kitchen.

Obviously, in short-term relationships it doesn't matter as much.

Having said all that I am now off to sign up on a cookery course!

John884488 insightful is deffinitely what you are lol. Great thoughts on cooking. Just realised that cooking is so so so important

I'm really shocked that women are expected to cook! I cannot cook and have made a few attempts but failed miserably. I really don't think that it is that important! If a male really thinks food is everything than perhaps he should learn to cook! Now that would be a way to a ladies heart!! I've got by without being able to cook and believe it or not my previous partners etc. were happy enough. They did all the cooking as well.

I would prefer a woman to be able to cook, not that she would cook for me but that we could have fun cooking together. I did have a girlfriend many moons ago, where we would go shopping together, discuss menus, how to put the dish together and how it would be cooked. Great fun.

Well said that man!!

ITS NOT THE COOKING I'M WORRIED ABOUT.... IT'S THE SWALLOWING!

Mini rant about to follow, as this kind of stuff is a pet hate of mine, even though I know the questions are not intended to be that serious..................ahem, let's go!!!!



Dear Readers....

I'm astonished in the 21st Century that this is even a 'serious' subject for a question........................you base your partner choices on thier ability to cook WTF!!!!! You'll be asking if men want a woman with child bearing hips next.

I can't get over what stereotypical old fashioned ideas still 'inform' relationships (and to read this from a 29 year old is just gobsmacking, it makes me wonder why some women bothered to sacrifice thier lives to get the vote, seems like staying home barefoot, pregnant and tied to the stove are the heights of their ambition ).....................

.............I appreciate some people think this may be a bit controversal, but it's not mandatory to live together, get married, have kids, cook his tea etc etc to have a successful happy relationship...................maybe change the reading matter from 'Hello' and try a book!

Ms Angry of ****

I like to cook for my girlfriends so I don't really care if she can't cook - maybe she'll be more easily impressed that way!

This might ruin my reputation, but i'm going to say it anyway.. i was told i wasn't a good cook. I wonder if it is something men look for in a woman. Is it really important when you choose a date? Come on, be honest guys.

God no!

like many things in life cooking can only be done properly if you do it yourself , any bloke out there who hasn't worked out that cooking his lady a fine meal is a great way to get a few extra favours(if you know what I mean) or smooth over the aftermath of a disagreement is missing an easy win

I really don't think women should have to be able to cook[i cant and really dint care about it]if you meet some 1 its about you being together and he should take you the way you are and not for what you can and cant do,all the better if he can cook then he can cook and you can wash up or be like me just put  the dishes in the dish washer,my last guy did all the cooking,so just go with the few and let him know from day 1 you don't or cant cook,the days of women being in the kitchen or long over no need for it now,good luck JeniferHN

hi,i find ladies are amazed when i say i can cook ,to me it doesnt matter if the lady can or cant you both put into the r/ship what you can and are best at or you both do it together make mistakes together but have fun diong it !!!!!!

"Never apologize" (Fisher)

Never fear.

He still lives with his Mummy and when she finds out what he's been saying she'll put him over her knee and spank him.

But if the "girlies" get their hands on him first he'll have the life expectancy of a snowball in Hell. Those ladies ain't as soft as you imply DC.
