Men, what do you genuinely think of women who can't cook or clean?

Question

Aethereal · Accepted Answer

I'm ambivalent. It will not affect the girl's appeal to me either positively or negatively. I can cook and clean on my own. If I don't want to, I'll pay someone to do it for me.

If my girlfriend/wife wants to do it, she is free. If not, I'll do what I would have done without her (cook/clean on my own, or order food/hire a housekeeper to do it for me). That's the beauty of the modern world; we no longer have to demand that our partners fulfill a role. For example; I am not handy. If something gets spoilt at home, I can shamelessly call a professional to fix it. I am no longer required to know how to fix it by the simple fact of being a guy. In this same way, my partner is not required to know how to cook or clean simply because she is a woman. We have options.

They’re not living with me.

razelove · Answer

That it isn't what they're good at. My wife doesn't know how to even use a mop, I taught her how to cook about... a decade ago maybe? I doubt anyone is going to say it's a turn on, it was just frustrating for me, watching her pull her first baked item out of the oven... onto a hot stove burner, break the pyrex, turn the stove burner on, and panic when the cake lit on fire.

She wanted to, was willing to learn, we both love each other, and everyone has things they're good at, and crappy at. My memory sucks and I know she has to get frustrated sometimes dealing with that for me, on the flip side I can't just learn to remember better like she could learn to cook and sweep... she still never got down how to use a mop lol

Nandann · Answer

Its totally nightmare for guy who married such burden as a woman if she dont. Know how to cook its totaly worstvpart if her if she is earning well and her husband is unemployed than its diffrent thing but its basic thing women has to learn before marriage

MCheetah · Answer

I don't really care if she can't cook, as long as she has other great qualities, to compensate for that. I can't cook well either, so it would be unfair of me to expect that from a woman, even if many men say "it's a woman's duty to do those things." Cleaning, however, is another story. I do clean up after myself and unlike cooking dinner, it's not very hard to do, so if she can't do that, we might run into issues down the line.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Can’t or won’t?

No such thing as not being able to do something (usually).

Any able bodied person can clean, so that just makes them lazy.

That alone would result in dumping them.

Not worried about cooking, as that’s bit more technical, however beans on toast is rather simple.

jaybee281 · Answer

Since that you asked for an honest answer - yes most if not all men want a woman who cooks and cleans - in a world where a man could choose how his family is again most if not all men would pick housewives - but you live in a world where women are brainwashed that they need a job and that being a housewive is being a loser - basically they want to be men.. Where is Freud at i wanna high five him

Raveagit · Answer

Weak sauce. Any person making an effort can learn to cook. I tire of women acting like they come with the ability, which they simply never use. Or worse like they shouldn't have a basic life skill like its beneath them. Next stick your nose in the air and tell me that tying your own shoes is a falsely assigned gender role. -_-

Kurαȷ · Answer

I don't care much if they can't cook.
If they have the body I find attractive, I don't care if they subside on big macs and takeout.
They will just have to accept that I won't be eating those things with them.

If they "can't clean", that's a bigger problem.
That sounds a lot more to me like "won't clean" because of being lazy/untidy.
I'm pretty sure everyone has the mental capacity to wash some dishes and operate the vacuum.

It’s not a turn on or turn off. That’s not how “turn on” works for most men.

In terms of being a relationship prospect unless she’s wealthy enough to pay for everything she either needs to be able to contribute via effort or via earning money to hire out what’s needed. I don’t care which.

BeenThereLovedIt · Answer

Cleaning isn't a skill, anyone can do it. Choosing not to is a personality defect. Same with cooking more or less - it's not rocket science and anyone can learn basic cooking skills. Funny how these same people are fucking wizards with social media sites.

BCA6010 · Answer

Well, hopefully she brings something to the relationship other than looks, and I would certainly hope that every functional human being is capable of feeding and cleaning after themselves...

AlexanderAnttila · Answer

Weird and a turn off. They're essential skills for both sexes. Why would the inability to look after yourself be attractive?

Jusin · Answer

I would be ok with it if I really loved her as we could learn together. It wouldn't be a deal breaker unless she just flat out refused to do anything in regards to cooking or cleaning.

jshm2 · Answer

Is she a sex robot or something? Seriously, any man or woman that cannot cook to at least sustain themselves isn't really a well rounded person.

HikerDude · Answer

Cooking and cleaning are just life skills. I do them all the time. In fact, I take pride in my ability in the kitchen, and it's impressed every girl I've ever dated.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

A turn off for sure and not suitable for marriage, if she's willing to learn then it will be better... Especially that i personally want a girl who adores becoming a housewife after marriage...

TripleAce · Answer

Not a fan of someone that can’t feed themselves properly  there’s something very sexy about a women that can handle herself

Gravit1 · Answer

Philippians 4:13 (13) I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. There is no can't. We all can improve and those are necessary life skills for both men and women.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

If I was in a relationship with her, what would she contribute?

Lionman95 · Answer

A turn off because it makes think she can´t take of herself.

Mreowcat321 · Answer

I mean I can do it. It's kinds of a basic adulting function sooo if you can't please gtfo

YaBoiJacob · Answer

I like to cook and clean, so I would be okay if she couldn't.

SenseiSeptred · Answer

It is neither of those options for me because even if she does not do well at cooking at the start of a relationship with me, she would learn quickly by being with me.

crmoore · Answer

I don't mind her not cooking, because I intend to cook most of our meals, but as for cleaning, it's something I wish she'd be interested in or at least not have issues with doing.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

anyone can do it. i don't need a maid. i need a contributor

Twalli · Answer

I need a girlfriend who can do one. I can do both, and will do either one, but not both if I am living with someone.

EaterPeter · Answer

I like woman in general. She may know something else. I don't think it's big deal. She should learn little though if not lot. Especially enough to take care of her self if nobody else.

Born-for-sex · Answer

It doesn’t really do anything for me. I really don’t care if she can or can’t. But it is a turn on when she is a good cook!

jasco · Answer

I don't mind if she can't cook, but she must know how to clean. Either way she has to know how to do something, or this relationship isn't gonna work

ThisIsMyOpinion · Answer

A turn off. Because I can do those things and any proper human being should know those things.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

If she's a disorganized dirty pig then turn off. If she can't cook I don't think nothing. She can go learn.
