Are women or men more attractive if they can cook?

Question

Screenwriter · Accepted Answer

Of course they are. Cooking is a skill that shows you're a grownup: You know how to care for yourself and you can sponsor a dinner party and take care of others.

And here's the deal about cooking: It is not difficult. You simply have to pay attention, get a basic cookbook, such as Joy of Cooking, and collect some spices and other seasonings to improve the flavor of your meals. It's like learning to rollerskate or swim. You're going to mess up, burn some things... but once you get the hang of it, mistakes will be few.

And one thing that is great about cooking, YOU CONTROL WHAT GOES INTO YOUR FOOD and your body. You can make fresh meals and impress yourself, as well as anyone who comes to your table. You control your health.

The table is a great place for discussions, relaxation, fun, experimentation. Food improves your mood, brings people joy and pleasure.

It also SAVES YOU MONEY. Home-cooked meals are economical. OR, you can make something extravagant that you'd only find in a restaurant for a fraction of the price.

The more you do it, the better you'll get at it and the more skilled you'll be. A skill that feeds body AND soul!

Yes, they are. But it’s also bad. Because they are so attractive when they do things for you, you fall for them too hard.

My ex would notice I was hungry, he would quickly jump from the bed and tell me

“wait for me here, princess, let me serve you the most delicious noodles.”

Then about 20 minutes later, he’d come back and bring me his cooked noodles or dumplings or so on…

And he sat by my side and asked me “Do you like it, babe?”

”I love it! You spoil me too much.”

“That’s my job to spoil you.”

“What can I do for you?”

“You only have one job, be happy.”

So, yeah, men who cook for you, are extremely sexy.

in my opinion, every adult regardless of sex should be able to cook some basic meals. I certainly don't expect a gourmet chef, but if you can't make at least 5 dinner meals that don't come from a can or a box, you need to learn. You should also be able to make a sandwich and a couple of breakfast meals - at least 2-3 types of eggs, pancakes/waffles, French toast, etc. The recipes are very simple but you have to pay close attention to the actual cooking because these foods go from underdone to perfect to ruined in just a few seconds.

I would say that it is a negative if someone can't cook, because a basic level should be expected of most people (obvious exceptions if you have a disability or something).

If someone has "beyond the basics" cooking skills, then that is a plus, for sure. That would include understanding food and cooking to be able to create new dishes, the ability to bake (which is a related but quite different skill), or to grill/cook outdoors.

My prior wife was a Dental Assistant, and her husband was a Meat cutter with Ralphs in Newport Beach. She was on her feet all day, every day and as such was exhausted when she got home. She said her idiot ex husband told her that he "did not work all day for 'left overs', with the obvious meaning that she had to have a New meal every night when he got home from work.

I told her when we married that I SHOULD make dinner for HER when she got home instead of the other way around.

Anyway, I would either have us 'eat out' or I was VERY happy to help myself when I got home, SO, NO, A WOMAN IS NOT MORE ATTRACTIVE IF SHE CAN COOK. Not my idea to have a woman or wife "cook for me"

jennifer_bloom · Answer

Any skill is attractive, whether its cooking, wood working, being a good driver, being good at baby sitting children, or earning money... but I won't choose a guy just because he prepares tasty meals, I look at a guy that can add mental and social blessings, the quality of food does not matter.

Avicenna · Answer

I can cook, so it's not something I think about in a partner. Now if she eats out all the time, that is very unattractive...

Lionman95 · Answer

Yes but only if they know more than the basic skills of cooking. I'm rather talking of pros or people knowing recipes and dishes I don't know and can't cook yet.

Women that inspire me to learn a new or advanced cooking style are a turn on.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Its not a necessity if he can/can’t but he also shouldn’t expect me to. I can do way more than I could some years ago but doesn’t mean I want to cook often. I definitely prefer the guy be the main cook. It doesn't make him more attractive but its a bonus

Anonymous · Answer

This is covert gender bait.. Cooking is an essential survival skill. Anyone should know how to cook, regardless of their gender... Why would that make someone more attractive? Is this the 1950's?

EmmaMary · Answer

Gender shouldn't even come into the equation as it should be a very basic human skill.

electromagnetic · Answer

I don’t think it really matter on the gender of who’s cooking as long as someone is cooking.
I’m not professional and I’ve had to take a couple of cooking lessons but I can definitely bs my way through a kitchen. What I will say though is, men that can cook and sing at the same time are Top Tier. They need protection.
Definitely something I find extremely attractive.

Yes. I told an ex this once right before I got an Amtrak and went 3,000 miles away, ditching her..."If I have to make the income, fix things, do the investing, the travel plans, cleaning, cooking, babysitting, studying with the kid... THEN WTF DO I NEED YOU FOR?" I already had my gym bag. Last words. Walked out. Was on an Amtrak less than 3 hours later... Portland, Ore to NYC.

provokeesmokee · Answer

Yes. I've dated people who can't fucking cook and it is one of the most infantalising flaws out there. I am not interested in adult-sized children.

Walt832 · Answer

Who said kitchen was for woman. Hell I also love to cook. We enjoy sharing the kitchen, just put the spoon back where it belongs.

If arrive early from work. Make some dinner, which 😀 she comes late purposely 😂 for me to cook but hey at longest I see her 🤩😍😁 smiled and loved. I don't mind but she cooks as well.

There many things you can share but the kitchen I found it super special when cooking together is like both cooking with love. It taste more delicious the food.

Ezra_lila · Answer

For me Yes! I love to eat and being serve is one act of love for me.

Cooking skills help women more than men when it comes to dating.

I am great at cooking. However, it doesn't work with conservative or young women. They get turned off by it and find it boring. Telling from not one but many authentic experiences. If you love cooking, you talk about it too. Like food cultures, spices, and processed stuff. Most traditional women get hugely turned off by a man doing that instead of earning more money. Young girls like guys who party, club or have long rides than some guys who sit at home and cook and get excited about a new type of spice or utensil.

Mostly older or less conservative girls like that.

If I'm in a relationship with me they have to be able to cooks as well as I can, I cannot understand how anyone can get to be an adult without being able to cook to at least a basic level.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

That's hard to say. I personally like anyone that can cook good/great food.

DextroShade · Answer

It definitely makes a woman more attractive for a long-term relationship and marriage. Too many modern women are perversely proud of being unable to cook.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Kinda but I'm a foodie so someone who appreciates and can make food is more attractive than someone who doesn't.

Staximus · Answer

Yes, because I'm a good cook and it would be nice to meet a woman who can cook as well or better than me.

worldscolide · Answer

I'd say a woman is more attractive if she is willing to learn how to cook.

rm_llort · Answer

Women who can't cook are a huge turn-off for me. I can cook very well, but I need to know that if I croak it the kids will eat well.

zero444440000 · Answer

hell yes! people who can cook are the most sexy thing.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I would have said guys, but there are a lot of women who don't cook well out there these days.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

Exponentially. For both. I know I'm hotter because of my kitchen skills than I'd be without them.

Anonymous · Answer

Absolutely. Sadly, there are few women my age who know how to cook. I know a lot of guys who can cook well, but very few women.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

No. It's actually mostly a negative. Because the girls who think they can cook are just SOOO proud of themselves, and they think that that adds to their value so they can be let off the hook in other areas.
