Is it a deal breaker if they can't cook?

[7Phoenix7]

It was really nice that both me and my partner were pretty good at cooking. Is it a deal breaker for you if the person you're interested in can't cook?

Deal breaker!

It's ok, I can cook

[ProbablyClueless]

I'm a fantastic cook, but honestly, her not knowing how to cook is still a dealbreaker for me, at this point. It's not even because of the quality of food, it's a statement about her energy as she goes through life. I genuinely don't care if she's the kind of cook who burns water; what I care about is the statement she's making about her priorities in life.

Yeah, she might not know how to cook well, but does she want to learn? Does she have a few recipes her mom taught her that she depends way too much on? Is she buying cook books and trying things, even though she didn't have people to teach her? Or does she not know how to cook because she's been putting 60 hour weeks in at work and would rather bar hop with the girls than reheat a frozen skillet dinner? And then it's a question of what she does for work; is she busting her ass at a mid level management gig, or is she killing it in a high-powered dream job?

[7Phoenix7]

I see where you're coming from. Definitely

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I don't mind because I myself can cook. If they have something else useful to do tho.

[7Phoenix7]

Your food looks delicious. I remember when you made a post with pics of different dishes you prepared

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Lol ty 🤗

[7Phoenix7]

Yw 🤗

[Lara_Croft]

A dude who can cook is a plus, a gift and a blessing. But I am working to improve my cooking skills. My mum taught me that you can't just know how to make good decisions in the boardroom. Better learn how to mix those spices and clean that kitchen-sound and Good advice. She did it, though we also had a maid. My ma made decisions in the boardroom-still does, cooked and cleaned when the maid wasn't home

[7Phoenix7]

Love that

[colaman94]

Yes. After all, even I (yes i, a male) can cook. So if she can't cook either, then that's just... off putting. Where's the adult woman mentality to act one's age ♀️ I'd wonder. So anyways. Deal breaker and I couldn't date a woman like that. Picky me 😁

[7Phoenix7]

That's ok, you're allowed to be picky. Get you a woman that can whip up something nice 🙂

[colaman94]

I sure will/would 🍽️

[Lionman95]

Yes because I don´t want to cook all the time and I think it´s basic adult behavior. I´m not talking about highly complex dishes but if a person can´t cook at all they don´t live a healthy lifestyle. Many diseases in modern day at least in the West are around because people eat wrong. It´s also not a question of sex I think a guy should be able to care for himself as well.

[7Phoenix7]

Yea exactly. But when I say can't cook, I kind of mean just a bad cook. Like they can cook to survive but the food sucks. Think school lunches, unless you liked that haha

[Lionman95]

Ah ok then I would still misunderstood that. To be honest I would still tell them that I don´t like their food. If they accept than I could make it work otherwise I´d move on.

[Sour-rose]

I mean... i can cook but my n*gga, if you can't cook shi, then what are you going to do when I'm not home for a week? Not get mcdonalds the whole week, right? Cause i stg, you can kiss my ass goodbye... and give a good pat as well... ya know... if you want. 🫠

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

She better know how to clean up if she can't cook :-)

[7Phoenix7]

Hahaha

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

In all seriousness, we all inspire each other to try new things :-).

[7Phoenix7]

Here, here

[7Phoenix7]

*hear, hear lol

[Billlewis]

Not at all, because my goal is to do almost everything, so she can just relax.

[7Phoenix7]

Sounds nice 🤔

[Billlewis]

Yes, ma'am, thank you very much.

[NathanDavis]

it certainly is a big big plus and something I would prefer, yes...

but no, I don't see it as a deal breaker

because there's people who don't know how to properly cook YET... those who just don't enjoy/like to cook... and then you have those who will burn water without a fire, lmao...

[Sonjita]

It's not a dealbreaker but a guy making me dinner is hot 😍

[7Phoenix7]

I agree

[andreasderjuengere]

It's only a deal breaker if she thinks that ''KFC'' actually is food :D

[7Phoenix7]

Yeah or McDonald's

[andreasderjuengere]

Agreed :D

[jahaims]

It's a deal breaker because if they can't cook then they are stupid.

[7Phoenix7]

Lol Ok can't cook in the sense that she can cook but her food doesn't really taste good to you

[jahaims]

The internet exists. You can literally follow a step by step process. If someone can't handle that, then they are stupid.

[7Phoenix7]

I get your point

[AydenHazor]

It's not a deal breaker. I can cook, and enjoy teaching them to cook too

[7Phoenix7]

That's sweet

[AydenHazor]

It's even more fun cooking with someone who already knows how

[7Phoenix7]

Thats so true

[CubaPirate]

Not a deal breaker but I'd rather she could. It's not rocket science really is it. I'd be willing to teach her if she couldn't for sure

[7Phoenix7]

That's nice

[CubaPirate]

Thank you 😊

[Z1pTD]

If she doesn't know how to cook it's fine as long as she's willing to try. I'm happy to cook for my partner and would actually like to cook for my partner anyways, but I'm a relationship it should go both ways :)

[TrueConfection]

My husband can't cook and that's okay. It would be really nice if he could though! 😋

[TheSpaceGnome]

I can cook, and I can teach her to cook as well, so not a problem twice over.

[exitseven]

It is okay. If it ever got serious you could always learn.

[TonyMetal___86]

Ain't a deal breaker cause she can learn to cook but if she doesn't want to learn how to cook than yes it'a deal breaker...

[SUMAIREBRAHIM]

No it's not deal breaker and also I have cook as well as i date young girls so i don't expect them to know in first place

[Bethany22]

It's okay, I can

[clampfan101]

I can’t cook, but we can learn how to do it.

[Staximus]

I'm a pretty good cook, but it would be nice if I'm not the only one cooking all the time

[Sparkie460]

I can cook some things so we'll be fine. I'd teach her how to cook

[Likes2drive]

It’s OK I don’t really cook either but I can manage

[gagsfather]

if it is a good chocolate like you, no worries.

[Luckycharms12]

Deal breaker yes I can cook don't know how someone can't cook for themselves it's basic skill

[LavLavLuv]

No.. I can teach them

[7Phoenix7]

Yea, I think that's the right thing

[LavLavLuv]

😁😁

[Pterodon]

I prefer to do the cooking

[7Phoenix7]

Nice, you must be a good cook. What's your favorite thing to cook?

[Pterodon]

Tex-Mex and I love making soups and stews. In fact I’m making New Mexico green chile stew today

[7Phoenix7]

Mmm, can I have a bowl?

[Pterodon]

C’mon over

[7Phoenix7]

I'll be on the way!

[Nikki1989]

It is OK. I enjoy cooking.

[mandyfire98]

Not really because I can cook.

[Mansearching]

No. But I can teach or show.

[TallAnon]

Nah, I'll do it

[7Phoenix7]

Aw, sweet. Would you have her watch n learn?

[TallAnon]

If she wants to, I'm sure someone will get bored of what I can make and want to branch out 😁

[7Phoenix7]

Lol ok

[Anonymous]

No, we can learn together.

[Jennz6]

I can cook

[BLP11520]

Which is good 👍👍

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No..
