My ex boyfriend ALWAYS used to ask me this. Can you cook?
Have you learned to cook now?
I want to eat meal prepared by you when I come back from USA. Are you trying to learn?
I want my future wife to feed me meals cooked by her, that's why I want you to learn
Seriously, I didn't mind it the first time he asked me If I can cook. But after he kept telling me how he expects me to cook.. It really offended me, it really made me irritated and furious. I would love to cook for my loved ones someday. Especially my husband, but the way some guys expects/tells girls to cook for them because they think it's a girl's job to cook... It really makes me mad.. I hate that.
I'd love to cook for him, when I'm ready to learn cooking and if he cooks for me too sometimes. But I'm not going to feed a sexist even if I become terrific at cooking.. Hell, no.
😂😂 that meme made me laugh.😂 Next time a guy asks me if I can cook, I'm gonna say to him
" can you build a fucking house"?👊😠😂
To answer the question though lol I don't mind if he asks. I answer, yes I can cook, and i can fix cars too 😂 it's not an offensive question though lol
Cooking is a huge plus, but I probably wouldn't ask. It's not too difficult to figure out without asking.
And yes I can build a house from the ground up.
You can't compare cooking to building houses... Cooking is something everyone normally has some experience with during life. Building houses is not.

Lol no. Girls randomly get their periods over dumb shit.
Heaven forbid a guy has a preference.
LOL it makes a good point.
I've seen men ranting about how women dont cook, clean etc, when they barely know how to chop wood, fix a leak or kill a dang spider.
It doesn't bother me, but I like to ask if they know how to fix cars or build stuff.
It's not offensive unless and until he kind of expects that you know how to. I mean some guys do, some guys don't that's a different matter but if they expect you to then yes, it's a little sexist but otherwise asking the question" can you cook?" Is more skill based. I would like to know if he can cook as well. So in that case, no it wouldn't be sexist. It would just be a casual question and something that we just learned about each other.
I honestly don't remember if any guy ever asked me that. I guess they assumed I can since I'm half Filipino. And, it's almost a given fact that Filipinas can cook very well. Anyway, I don't think I'd feel offended if a guy asks me if I can cook. I'd answer "I sure can!"
It's really obvious is he's asking just bc I'm a girl or if he is just curious.
Like, I've had guys ask and they're like "ooh, you do this this and this and you cook, wow you're a catch" and that doesn't offend me, but it's like the gist of the meme "and what can you do?"
That being said, I ask guys if they can cook... it's a normal hobby and it's really useful and is attractive to have. Who doesn't want their partner cooking good food here and there :)
My boyfriend and aren't really experience in cooking at all lol but we're learning together :) but I'm good at baking stuff
Some guys can cook. Does that make them feminine? No. Some women serve in the army. Does that make them mascular (like... a 100% mascular)? No. I don't see any offense or sexism regarding the "Can you cook?" question. Some girls burn the entire kitchen down. Some guys do the same.
No I don't find it offense. Can you cook is a basic question. Why would people think it is offensive? Why would you make it into a sexist situation. Forget about the past where women were in the kitchen. We can't move forward if we hold onto our grudges. Women cooked. Men worked. Do men get offended when I ask them: do you work? Probably not. Did all that make sense?
No? Will they get offended if I ask them if they can cook?
Depends on the context. If he's asking because I'm using the kitchen for it's apparent use, it's not offensive. If he's asking because I'm a girl, then yes. I get enough sexist crap when playing games
It's not offensive at all. Even if he is trying to be rude with that, I can just invite him over to dinner to check out my cooking. He won't be able to ask that again afterwards. I doubt he'll be able to do anything after tasting my food
I don’t find it offensive because I ask guys the same thing. I hate how people twist things to be offensive and get worked up for no reason. People take things too seriously. I wish the whole world would lighten tf up.
No, I like to cook. I just refuse to cook every day!
Its wouldn't normally be offensive or sexist, but its been used like that for so long its extremely offensive to ask now
I’m a proud and capable cook and I find joy in bein able to please my man. I believe in traditional gender roles. There’s nothing wrong with them. They’ve worked for us so far
'If you ask me or tell me to how every woman should know how to cook... Then I'll kill you, lol'
Direct quote.
Women should know how to cook. So should men.
Not really offensive, but I can't.
I have no time for it and I have never learned it.
Cooking is a basic survival skill and women want to be housewives anyway why would a guy want a housewife who doesn't cook, doesn't clean or do anything when he's at work
Nah I don't think its offensive. Not many people know how to cook these days.
It seems everyone eats at restaurants for every meal.
