Girls, do you actually like guys who cook?

[Anonymous]

I have started to feel like, it's actually a lie. In all relationships that I know, guys don't know how to cook at all. Cooking can take time both before (collecting stuff) and after (cleaning). So you have to stay at home than other people.
Girls I know, love only outgoing guys that will take them to bars, restaurants. People say that cooking together at home can be very good in relationships but I haven't seen any single relationship like that in reality.

"Girls I know, love only outgoing guys that will take them to bars, restaurants."
That's your first problem: you're comparing all women to the few you know. Not all women like to eat out, and I sure as heck don't like "outgoing guys" as I'm a homebody and introvert.

I work in a hospital all day and am around patients and various other people all day. After work, the last thing I want to do is get dressed and go out and eat around MORE people. I just want a home cooked meal, or hell, even a bowl of cereal if I'm too tired to cook, lol.

To answer your question, I'd love a guy to cook for me, have a meal for us to eat together, and enjoy a quiet meal at home! Most mature adults should know how to cook basic meals by their early to late 20s. Don't gauge all women, their wants and needs off of some people and how they behave.

Perhaps at your age, it's true. I have seen it, one 35 and one 38 years old were crazy for me and one of them was a nurse too 🤣. But I have yet to see anyone around my age are like that. One more thing, you may have seen most guys actually don't cook but they are in relationships. Women make all the effort for them. I am starting to feel like here I am giving way more and women, none.

Your comparing extroverts to introverts or ambiverts. Extroverts love to go out, now and then.

I personally live it when a guy cooks at home but even more than that. I find him irresistible if I cook and he does all dishes and cleans everything up.

[Asker]

I do go out , just not for restaurants too much. For groceries , ingredients and stuff , plus I garden many herbs and stuff that are not always available locally

I would love a guy who cooks healthy foods like vegetable dumplings or spring rolls but guys usually like to cook greasy foods like steak and scallop and I consider that excessive and unpleasant.

[Asker]

You do realize that there are countless food items in the world rather than just vegetables and steak 😅(American). There are thai food (Pho, Khao soi), Chinese (Sweet and sour pork, Cantonese soups, dumplings, wonton soups, fried rice, stir-fried noodles), Middle eastern (shawarma, falafel), general European (French, Italian, Russian), British full English, and South American, Indian (curries, flatbreads, biryanis). I generally get very food with a single type of food in a few days and can make them all. I am not a professional chef though, it's just been a hobby for years.

[jennifer_bloom]

Yes but I prefer vegetarian east Asian or South Asian food or just some fruit and vegetable smoothies, it’s not the ability to cook that impresses me but the food choices you make.

[Asker]

So you are a vegetarian?
I am not open to date vegeterians or vegans. I love making and eating both and don't overdo either. Always love balance and am particularly much into seafood than meat.

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m not a vegetarian but for me, eating a lot of meat is just as bad as eating a lot of potato chips, I eat enough meat for protein and omega 3 and low carb diets but no more than that. I’m Chinese and less than 8% of our food is meat, it’s just a quarter of one of our 3-5 daily side dishes that we eat with rice.

I'm used of my cousin brothers cooking more tastier food than me lol. They only taught half of the cooking to me. I like such guys because they are more responsible and they can ensure they can take care of themselves. It is sweet too.

We actually like guys that have skills in anything that needs commitment, if they actually love to do it ;) A guy being proud of what he became good at by himself is what we find attractive ;)
And I believe that suits for all types of couples :)

[Asker]

People actually don't date whom they think they like deep in their mind, ask any girl and she will say that they like a sweet, good-looking, caring, kind guy but they mostly date bad boys with almost none of these traits. Plus in most relationships men never cook but they are still in relationships...

[CarolineW]

Most guys that I know can put a meal together if they have to, but just prefer not to. A lot of gay guys like to cook, because they think it's creative. It's not, it's just... cooking

[Asker]

It can be creative , if you can cook more than one meal , or food from different countries.

[Prettygurl12]

Yessss

I can barely follow a Hello Fresh recipe - literally forgot a whole ingredient in tonight's dinner lmao

My husband loves to cook AND bonus points... he's actually good at it too lol

[Asker]

You will perhaps agree that most guys don't cook in relationships even if the woman works. I am thinking, I am bringing too much. Other guys get such royalty treatment from their girls for doing nothing. One of my guys' friends is getting married and when I meet his girl, she was too excited to cook and take care of him after marriage. As far as I know about the guy he will burn the kitchen making instant noodles. Last Christmas I cooked for a girl a feast at my home and she was supposed to come in the morning (as she had pleaded earlier) but never showed up. When I called, she told me she was sick. But later trued out she was out partying, drinking, hooking up with other guys.

[FlutteringFeelings]

I need that in my life. When I’m attracted to a guy “in person” and he tells me he knows how to cook? My ears flutter.

[thistle4]

Yesssss! I would love to cook with a guy
i have daydreamed about cooking with a guy and our kids together when I’m married

[Asker]

Slow down girl , you are thirteen and already seeing this kind of dream. At your age I used to dream about weird stuff, superheroes , adventures 😄

[hi_it_is_me123]

Yes. It is hot and manly to me. Majority of famous cooks are men for example. It is hot that he can take care of himself and dont starve when his wife is not at home for example

[Razp_Sorbet]

My boyfriend cooks. Generally I'll cook during the week and he does the weekends. If we are off work we take turns every other day.

[SphynxUK]

When I was with my ex, we cooked together a lot. We still do sometimes.

[Asker]

Still with ex?

[SphynxUK]

He’s my ex. I still cook with him. What not to understand.

[Asker]

Kinda weird. Still living together or just friend cooking sometimes?
