Is it a dating red flag if a guy says he genuinely enjoys cooking?

I've heard that cooking is considered an attractive trait, but since I'm an introvert, I usually don't talk about it much. I find it very relaxing to cook something nice every now and then. It crossed my mind yesterday when I made a risotto with crab, zucchini, and lime—using the crab I caught myself.

That is certainly not a red flag. I would love it if the guy I ended up with was a good cook. That is a bonus to me because I enjoy cooking and it could be something we enjoy doing together. It also would be great to have a night off.

I think that is a desirable skill in a relationship no matter the gender. I would honestly flaunt that about yourself. Your dish looks really good by the way.

Thanks. It's something I like to do and most of the time people are like "oh, you can cook" but then nothing happens. I always wondered what was going on

I think it is a great skill to have. Any sane woman would love that in a guy.

Thanks for mho. Keep on cookin'!

No way. That is anything but a red flag.

No, it is a huge bonus.
