Do you find men who can cook desirable? If you're a guy, can you cook?

Do you find men who can cook desirable? If you're a guy, can you cook?

[007-Tarzan]

Yeah I can cook a few dishes. I actually like cooking for others and having dinner parties because it allows you to be a bit more bold and daring with the menu... and the time spent preparing seems worth it in the end.

Oddly I've always been discouraged from cooking in my family... my mum didn't want anyone else in her kitchen causing a ruckus 🤷‍♂️... but that made me want to cook even more 😅...

Its no surprise most girls like guys who can cook.. I think the same is true for guys... it's definitely a useful skill to have...

[GFNimbuscloud]

Yep. When I was little, my single dad attracted all kinds of women by cooking for them. That's probably the best thing he ever taught me.

I make a mean katsu. Asian flavor profiles are generally my favorite, but homemade pizza or enchiladas are quick and always come out amazing; and if I'm baking anyway, everybody loves fresh bread.

But I like trying new things too, so it's nice to find out what she likes and cook a few new recipes.

[itsmicaelaxo]

YES! One thousand times yesssss. I love a man that can cook. Nothing extravagant, but I really like it when they know their way around the kitchen and someone I can share recipes with haha

[shimmeryns]

Agreed! I also think its fun to cook and eat together for a date.

[itsmicaelaxo]

Exactly ! It's a fun way to get to know each other cause it takes away your nerves since your actually busy doing something and not maybe in your head looking at him thinking all kinds of stuff

[horilka]

Omg, it's a dream to have a man who can cook xd

[shimmeryns]

Indeed!!!

[horilka]

Yeah, it's a huge advantage 😂

[horilka]

Thanks for MHO!

I’m not spectacular at it, but I can do ok. Most of what I cook or bake is fairly simple. Chicken, etc. it’s not usually where I create my own stuff or do my own sauce for, say, spaghetti, but it’s mostly just sort of following instructions.

I did do some cakes as a kid, and have made a few desserts in the last few years (cookies, etc), but I wasn’t big on a few of them - they tended to be the things I’d have to substitute (skim milk vs 2 percent, for example)...

I haven’t noticed it being particularly attractive to any women I’ve met, but then most of the time, they haven’t experienced much of my cooking or baking.

I make awesome rare steaks in my opinion, even if no one else agrees. I got 10kg of beef for Christmas and made that for family-in-law:

Everyone complained that it was too rare and asked me to cook it longer. I refused!

[SuperTroll]

Also I made mashed potatoes and used the leftover stuff from cooking the steaks to make a gravy.

[SuperTroll]

My father-in-law gave me a samurai sword which I never used for fighting but I found it useful for making the broad cuts for the steaks, then kitchen knife to cut the remaining parts.

[LoU_Hades]

I have been two year solo, so I learned to cook.
Now my partner works and I'm obliged to cook since more than 3 years. Meanwhile I'm relatively good and effective in the kitchen. In most meat dishes better than my partner.
I don't think she sees it as a negative ability at all.

[shimmeryns]

Oh I never suggested its a negative ability. I think it is highly desirable if a guy can cook 😊

[SjE78]

I can cook and been told my food tastes way better than what those people have had in restaurants, in fact they have even asked me to cook what they had in the restaurant but cooked my way

I'm no professional though, never had qualifications as a chef, i was simply taught during my childhood to bake the old fashioned way by my Nan and then relearned to cook and be adventurous in the food i cook after i split from my first partner

[witherwing]

They teach all of us to cook in school, so I don't find cooking to be a particularly attractive skill because it's so common anyway. Mostly anyone in Finland know how to cook, at least the basics. I assume all adults know how to cook.

[shimmeryns]

Really? All students are taught to cook?

[witherwing]

Everyone. It's mandatory on seventh grade. Most people also take extra classes, because the cooking courses are fun, and also include lessons on cleaning and taking care of the house.

[shimmeryns]

That's interesting, being able to cook is expected from everyone as it is implemented in the education system.
Thank you for sharing!

[whenthedankhitsig]

Yeah, I can cook quite a lot of things, which is quite rare here in the netherlands because nobody is really taught in school how to cook, and nobody takes the time to learn it

[shimmeryns]

Self taught?

[whenthedankhitsig]

Yeah, I like cooking and I want to learn more as I get older, because I feel like it’s kinda important to be able to cook

[shimmeryns]

That's awesome! I'm sure you'll be able to impress girls with your cooking skill 😊

[whenthedankhitsig]

Yeah haha I hope so, I can also make pizza’s at work now lmao

[hahahmm]

I can cook a world class meal & it’s easy. But i would never cook all/most meals in a relationship.

[shimmeryns]

I don't think it is expected from anyone to cook all meals in the relationship unless if you are a stay-at-home dad/husband.

[Iwant2kno]

Men who know how to cook or at least know how not to get the house on fire are always attractive. 😊

[standardguy]

Sure there are good male cooks. The vast majority of ***chefs is male. I can cook and bake since I turned 12.

[shimmeryns]

Interesting isn't it. How cooking is considered a woman thing but most celebrity chefs are males.

[lightbulb27]

I can cook some, I'm decent, not a chef. I like to learn and be better, I also like to eat out... some things hard to reproduce at home.

[JimRSmith]

I can cook, in fact, as long as I don't have to do it *too* often, I rather enjoy it. I'm cooking tonight, in fact.

I'm pretty good at it, too.

[Dallsimo]

Yes i cook! You should see my outfit when I wanna sexy cook lolol

[shimmeryns]

You should share us your picture then haha!!

[Dallsimo]

It doesn't respect GAG's rules... lolol

[jss123]

I can cook. Women are often a little sceptical when I say I can..

[shimmeryns]

Sceptical? Why?

[Secret6620]

Absolutely. I can't cook so this will just be amazing 💙💜💚

[IslanderSparkle_Siki]

yess, I would want my man to make me food but would be more desirable if he does the dishes

[ghostingz]

i love cooking and not sure what people even mean when they say they can't cook... there are word for word instructions on literally every dish you can think of

[Grobmate]

Can cook very well. I wouldn't say it's a prerequisite though.

[Mh1999]

I am amazing cook xd Lebanese girl cook best jokes aside i like them.

[KatherineJ]

I love that my guy knows how to cook. I would love it more if he knew how to clean up after.

[frerardsprincess]

I love to cook so having something like that we can bond over is awesome
