Being asked if you can cook?

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

Okay so why do guys ask you if you can cook for them In that playful tone while you two are barely getting to know eachother.
I’ve noticed most guys ask this and I always don’t care to get into the talk of food and cooking and also I feel like it’s misogynistic to just assume I want to cook for a man but whatever im not that upset about it either but anyways so I say “sure maybe sometime I might cook for you”and keep it pushing.
I barely decided to say No just to see what the reaction might be and to my surprise dude seems angry now and like not as nice as he’s been for the past few days but I guess saying I won’t be cooking for him made him upset and he asked me before as well and I said no he assumed it was because I couldn’t cook but I said no i can cook and he tried to ask me to again today and after I re said no he def got bothered this time.
What is the significance of this question, why is it asked and is It that serious?

Perfect opportunity to be a little cheeky and say something with a smile like, “I can cook, for those who deserve it”


That way it puts the qualifier back in to him and makes him think about what he’s offering you that makes him worthy of a home cooked meal out of you.

Men just like when women cook for them in the same way that women like it when a man takes them to a nice place on a date. If you expect the guy to pay for a date and be traditional in that way then it's kind of hypocritical to complain when he has a traditional expectation in return right? It's about reciprocation. The guy you're speaking about is probably as turned off as you'd be if a guy said "nah I won't pay for a date with you".

It's simply a helpful life skill. Sometimes the guy does not know how to cook either. But it's nice when both the guy and girl know how to cook so they can take turns.

My strongest view on this, is that it should be equal. It's not just one person cooking, expecting the other will cook for them. It's sharing in the cooking together.

But sometimes, if the money is there, it might just come to invest in precooked food

We men we love our food more and a lot. So if we happen to encounter a certain girl we have some attraction for, we have to first know I she can cook since she might be our next soul mate.
And a lot of men prefer knowing if there person of interest knows how kick it well in the kitchen.

Cooking is fun for anyone.
It really is unacceptable that certain men think this is a womens job.
That may have been 'true' to some degree when men were the sole breadwinners, but that time is long gone.
he's either an asshole or really immature.
