Men, Is it a turn off when your average looking girlfriend can't cook?

Other way around. I don't have a ton off moves to show off, but my cooking is one of them.
If I can cook a woman a really good meal and she appreciates it, that's as much a turn on for me as anything and if she can't cook, that just means I get to do it more.

[Mango-man]

If she tried, continually failed, and is willing to try again together, then it is totally fine (because it would be nice if both of us can cook since if one gets sick, the other should take care of them).

However if she "can't cook" as if she didn't even try and is just looking for excuses, then she has a mindset incompatible with mine and is thus unattractive to me.

[Berethor]

It usually means that she is not very useful.

Yeah, that's a turn off for me. A girl should know how to cook. I know I'll get called sexist for saying that but cooking is one of the benefits women bring to the table, or at least should. I'm a pretty good cook myself and I expect the same from her.

[DaveJord]

Not really but I would say cooking is a bonus, but I can cook for myself. So if she is emotionally and physically available to me and is totally awesome then cooking is a none factor.

[Danny_dan92]

I am not the type of man that thinks a woman that cannot cook is a deal breaker.


However, on the topic of cooking. If she expects me to do everything including make her food. Nope. That’s where I draw the line

[Guy13]

It’s a turnoff when a good looking girl can’t cook either…. Whose going to make I’m running on quality diet while I’m out amassing Wealth. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Mangospacho]

I’ve cooked for myself for years. I kind of like food in a specific way anyway so I like to do the cooking myself. So that would be fine. Don’t sell yourself short, though, average looking is still good looking.

[MCheetah]

I wouldn't be dating an unattractive woman who can't cook, to begin with.
So yeah.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

A turn off it isn’t & if an average looking girl can’t cook that is ok because I can cook.

[AviatorTom]

No, it's nice when she can cook, but she has other good qualities. There's always takeout.

[Fireguy17]

not at all.
I can cook, so we won't starve to death.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, honey, it isn't a turn-off if the average girlfriend can't cook

[Anonymous]

Yes. I’m a pretty good cook. I’ve actually done it professionally. It’s bizarre to me how do few people know how to cook. I’m talking about the most basic of dishes.

[MCheetah]

@Agagagagaga
Cooking is pretty time consuming and takes a lot of patience, so many people never learn how to cook. I can do basic cooking like eggs, mac and cheese, fried chicken, etc, but at my level, many people (possibly including you) would say I "can't cook."

[Opinion Owner]

@MCheetah you’re doing better than a lot of people. You at least know how to make a hot meal. I don’t think cooking is especially time consuming, most things I can make in 30 min or less.

I’d recommend you get a slow cooker. Those things are awesome. You can make stews, soups, roasts, all kinds of things. Chili. You just add the ingredients and leave it alone for 4-6 hours, they are pretty much full proof. Then you have dinner and left overs for days.

[MCheetah]

30 minutes is a LONG time to be doing something in today's ADD age of TikTok and Twitter.
Also, I didn't even bring up how much of a mess cooking makes and having to wash dishes.
This is honestly why I don't like cooking, even though I know basic stuff.
I'm pretty much a sandwich or ramen kind of guy. I sandwiches almost daily; like 4 days a week.
The closest I do to cooking nowadays is the microwave and air fryer I own, but again, many people would say an air fryer "isn't cooking."

[Opinion Owner]

@MCheetah So don’t use Twitter or Tiktok and put something healthier in your body besides empty carbs and high sodium freeze dried noodles.

Or keep yourself glued to social media (because it’s sooo uplifting and edifying lol) and set yourself up for kidney failure down the road. You do you.

[MCheetah]

I'm not saying I even use those sites (this is the only social media site I even use).
I am just saying why so many people in general don't know how to cook, as you first brought up in your post. That is why.

[Anonymous]

She should at least try to learn. Especially with the internet nowadays, it's not that difficult. Not a deal breaker though.

[bamesjond0069]

Yes. What is she good for if she doesn't cook? Does she clean and have sex? I mean there's only so many things men need from a woman. Lol

[Juxtapose]

Well it's a basic life skill so I wonder how she cares for herself.

[jahaims]

Yeah, in my opinion if you can't cook you are either lazy and haven't tried or are stupid.

[FearlessHero7]

Girl idc if you pretty. You better know how to cook. I'm not spending money every day on restaurants or takeouts

[anton_dee]

If she amazing in the sack, there's always McDee round the block...

[driven159]

no because I am a good cook and if you cook, I make things I like

[SlothySlob]

What do you mean "can't"?

[exitseven]

no, she can always learn.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, but everyone should know how to cook.

[Andres77]

I can cook... and she can learn.

[Hellraiser1984]

No. I'd just teach her.

[AndrésC64]

I couldn't care less.

[VikingWarLord]

She better fuuckin learn how !

[Quidthonian]

Nah, not really. She can always learn to cook.

[Valso]

No. I can't cook either. :D

[Evan64]

Yes, especially if they're the more dependent one

[Wise4myage]

No, not at all. We can learn together.
