| Are men that cook better for a relationship?
Posted: 10/5/2009 2:53:34 PM | I have always cooked for my girlfriends, and some have cooked in addition to me doing the cooking for the most part. My wife, on the other hand, did almost all of the cooking when we were married. I did a few special dishes that I was good at and the grilling, but she did the menus and most night's dinners. It was the best sharing the shopping and the cooking.
The last few years, I was eating vegetarian dishes. I learned to cook those as well, and could handle cooking duties any night since we recycled the dishes a lot. Now I cook exclusively for my girlfriend and she really likes it, since it's a way to take care of her and she doesn't cook for herself. I do breakfast a lot during the work week, too. It's always nice for me to make her something new and tasty.  | |

I really think the men on here that say they cook and enjoyed doing for their gf are wonderful. | |

Men that cook are hot I plan on making sure my guy knows how much I appreciate him.
If more men cooked, I think there would be much better relationships from what I have read. | |

It adds to the 'partnership' aspect of the relationship in being able to share the household duties. Also, cooking together gives you an additional opportunity to spend time doing things together.
My ex and I would 'tag team' a meals together on a regular basis; each of us would take a portion of the meal (main dish, side, salad, etc.) which we'd divy up by our respective expertise (i.e. if it went on the grille it was mine). It was a nice way to get dinner on the table while enjoying more time together. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 9:11:54 AM | That's not the problem. Actually it is the OP, are men that cook better for relationships and it seems they are. I hardly think that Chef Ramsey would call any woman pathetic because he has superior cooking skills. I know that my fiance can make spaghetti sauce from scratch, so perhaps he would consider that he has better skills. I know that that he is more sought after and men like him because he can cook. That is a fabulous addition to our relationship. As chef's are traditionally men, ya want to splain me tradition...
Yes, I am trying to put more positive threads out there. I am tired of reading negatives and generalizations. Women have to cook but also have to pick up the bill. We want a traditional woman but we want her to also be a liber or whatever you want to call it. I really think there should be balance in everything.
I will be so glad when I get married because I did bring home the bacon, fried it up in the pan, took care of everything, and yeah, he thought he was a man But with my fiance everything is so different. Heck, he even vacuums, sharing household chores is going to be amazing. Really have done everything my entire adulthood and started cooking for my family when my mom started working at a job that had benefits.
Sharing chores will also get things done twice as fast for other activities | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 9:21:06 AM | It's pathetic if I can cook better than a woman
Why is that? Are you saying women SHOULD cook better than you because you're a MAN and she's a WOMAN and that's the way it should be, or that a woman should cook better than you because you suck so bad at cooking?
I think as some have already said, anyone who can and will chip in on the chores --and to me, cooking every day is a chore, not a joy--is more valuable than one who won't.
I do not know of any men or women who don't know how to cook, though. I don't see how it's even POSSIBLE to get to adulthood, living on your own, and NOT know how to cook SOMETHING.
I think what a lot of men are connotating is more along the lines of "good cooking"--special, full meals served up hot, where I am thinking "everyday cooking". I can do both, but who the heck WOULD?! If I'm in the mood for cooking, I do it--if I'm not in the mood for cooking, I don't have to because there are alternatives (restaurants, take-out, etc).
===========
How can one NOT make assumptions when your writing is so vague?! I was just asking you to clarify your "pathetic" statement.

I don't mind sharing the cooking duties, but I'm doing all the cooking simply because a woman is either too lazy or ignorant to learn. Again, this is about men cooking, so if men don't cook they are either too lazy or ignorant to learn? I don't feel that way, I felt they never were taught. This would be the same for women. Men that know how to are wonderful. Again, I don't wish to bash men or women, but to point out how wonderful it obviously is for men to cook. | |

I hardly think that Chef Ramsey would call any woman pathetic because he has superior cooking skills. Do you watch Hell's Kitchen?  He does this on EVERY SHOW.
are men that cook better for relationships and it seems they are. Actually I see no correlation between men's cooking skills and relationship success. One could make the same flimsy argument that it's important for women to have good cooking skills in order for her to have a successful relationship. This line of argument has no sense to it at all.
I know that my fiance can make spaghetti sauce from scratch...I know that that he is more sought after and men like him because he can cook. Wow that spaghetti must be De-Lish!  Good for you. Still, for every one guy who cooks well and satisfies his partner, I can probably find a guy who cooks great and is a jackass. If you date the jackass, would you claim men cooks are bad relationship options??? It's flimsy circumstantial evidence.
my fiance everything is so different. Heck, he even vacuums, sharing household chores is going to be amazing. It's important for couples to have things in common--I'd think household cleanliness is an important matchup characteristic. Why would a neat person tolerate living with a slob? This is a no-brainer. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 10:33:32 AM | No, if you read others comments, it is the sharing. I did everything before. To have someone cook is wonderful. It is less stressful knowing I am not responsible for every meal. If you have stress in a relationship, you don't have a good relationship.
Sharing of everything is wonderful, I despise cleaning. I think it ignorant of anyone to say that is something anyone has in common. Unless someone has OCD and their mate has OCD, perhaps you could say they have OCD in common. Everyone needs to clean their home. A partner that doesn't help is what I knew. So to be with someone that does, oh yeah, that is wonderful.
Cooking is feeding the soul, not just the body. In a relationship with the addition of a man cooking, it seems to make for a better relationship. We aren't talking about jerks that can cook. We are talking about a relationship with the addition of a man that can cook. Again, this is relationship, not some random guy. | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 3:33:43 PM | There is no difference, than a man that doesn't cook, to a woman that doesn't cook...
Or is there?
In the oldern days, the woman stayed at home and cooked, he went out and worked, we don't live in that World anymore... Both partners have to work to survive.
If a mature man can only throw a "chop on the barby", then it's time he was given a Jamie Oliver Book, and learn...
Same, for a mature woman.... there's no excuse, other than laziness not to learn to cook and just go for toast and take-aways....
It raises an eyebrow to me, Division if a man doesn't know as well... Simply put, it makes me assume, until proven otherwise, that he expects dinner on the table and the house cleaned and has no intention of joining in, the "togetherness", oh dear therefore, imagine the bedroom? That will be one sided as well..
I agree, OP, if they can cook and share...responsibilities... You've got something worth working with. | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 8:26:04 PM | Every woman i was with wanted to marry me, so yes a man that can cook IS better for a relationship.
It's a more practical and creative and thoughtful way to express your love for her.
You don't need to have your arse kissed or be put on a pedestal for cooking her a meal because you did it to make her happy. | |
