Cooking is fun and can be romantic. Even better are those times you cook together and make an event of it. But I agree I love to cook.
Honestly, I my view is that the husband being the cook is just as valid and worthy of respect as the wife doing it.
I'm used to it because my father was, which was uncommon in his era but he was the middle child of 4 sisters and learnt to cook just like them
I do the majority of the cooking in my house. I used to work in a fine dining restaurant a long while back so I can bust out some Michelin start meals!!! lol
I don’t mind but I like cooking too even tho I’m not that great lmao
I wouldn’t care, if he loves to cook and doesn’t mind doing it, i’d let him cook! I love to cook as well, it’s fun to cook with your partner.
My cooking skills suck so if he can cook that's a big plus
I think it is perfectly fine; at my house we both have things we are good at making so we stick to what we do best and collaborate for the holidays works great for us!
I'm the cook in my home.. I've been cooking since I was 8. I have no issues with it.
All adults should learn to cook.
Couples need to do what works for them.
But there needs to be a balance on what each person is bringing to the table, both literally and figuratively.
Nothing is wrong, I believe women find it attractive
That's cool. My dad was the main cook in our household.
doesn’t bother me. It’s neither emasculating nor is it something to applaud. different things and/or roles work better for different couples.
I am fine either way. I have always been the one who cooked, but both of us cooking would be a blast
the pizza and meatloaf look good. you did a good job with that
thank you!
If he wants to why not. For me I usually cook the meat but my girlfriend cooks everything else even though I help sometimes
The man can be the cook.
Women should clean up after him and stick to baking.
I am a chef. And I am the only one allowed to cook. lol.
Me and my girlfriend typically cook together in the kitchen, we both like to cook
@t-8900 I strongly believe both husband & wife should take turns preparing meals in their home.
I’m the cook. I love it but I don’t like doing it everyday
I’m fine with it in fact I would love for me and my wife to cook together I lead
sure, why not? He is generally everything else so why not that too?
Most and the best chefs are male , dont see any problem with cooking food for your loved ones its a great thing.
If he loves it than absolutely. Just like how I like to fix things
It is not bad for him to cool for her, tbat is if he got the skills.
I mean its fine but what is the woman supposed to do to contribute? Im an excellent cook but my girlfriend would do nothing except clean... so she cooks anyways.
Hell I can cook and wouldn’t have a problem being the cook in the house
I THINK IT IS GOOD. I LOVE COOKING. WOMEN HAVE BEEN SO ABUSED OVER THE Y3ARS. I AM SO HAPPY WHEN MAMA CAN DEFEND HERSELF AND TAKE CARE OF ATTACKERS. I LOVE SAVSGE ANGELS. AMD BELIEVE IN THERE POWER
waaa? I'm so confused by this post. A man should still be protecting his woman. that should be a given.
I actually cook all the time. Even when I was in a relationship.
Cooking is an essential life skill everyone should have.
I'm against it, in my case.
Because if I cook, we'll spend the night in a hospital bed.
Oh my goodness I would love that so much 🥰🥰♥️❤️
I would love to be a stay-at-home husband and do those things!
What's wrong with that?
tbh I've never met a woman who thought there was anything wrong with it. But there are some men who take issues with it for some reason.
I cook all the time now
Can i have a recipe
for which? I honest to goodness just eyeball things and never measure. its how my grandfather and father taught me to cook lol.
It's attractive if a guy can cook
I love when a man helps at home. I find it sexy
Who cares who cooks? If it tastes good, eat it!
Men can be great cooks
I think that’s hot my boyfriend could cook too
Wouldn't do it. I prefer traditional gender roles...
I have no idea what that even means since not every ethnicity had the same traditional gender roles.
Pretty sure they all did...
Prove otherwise? Give 2 conflicting examples at the same time... sorry I always thought that they were all the same.
Either way you can pretty easily infer what it means... when people say it, it always has the same or similar meaning.
@sufys12 the Gaels had women teach men the art of war through the Followers of Scatha for example. The Sarmatians had their women dominate the men in society and pick their husbands themselves after slaying an enemy in battle. Often times they were the archers and horse archers in the armies while men fought in close combat roles. In Italy it was men who traditionally cooked more. It was a man who discovered and created cuisines from ingredients in the new world. Tomato sauce completely revolutionized eating habits on the italian peninsula and it was the Italian Bistros that made that happen and they were traditionally men. See: Lo Scalco alla Moderna. My dude your Anglo roots are not the be all and end all of culture in the world. There are many places across the globe where those traditional gender roles have not applied for hundreds if not thousands of years.
Anglo roots? I'm Nigerian! Anyhow you clearly know what I was trying to say- there was no point in the pointing out that a lot of societies don't follow the rule because you knew what I was trying to say which is all that matters. Women in the home and men doing the outside work is what I prefer.
just correcting a misconception. I saw on other posts you said you were from the UK and drew my conclusions. But if something is subjective to change by culture, then clearly it's not "traditional". that's too broad of a word.
From the UK, but my ethnicity is Nigerian...
Fair enough. I presume that the majority of cultures had 'traditional gender roles'. I apologise though for my incorrect statement.
@sufys12 Hey man I thought the same. Don’t sweat it. In most Asian and African culture I’m pretty sure the women mostly do cook. And then of course in traditional American households (1950’s style) its been that way as well and passed down to some
@WhiteBoyChill is honestly a life skill every man should know as being part of being self sufficient. Also like I said "traditional" is subjective and 1959's hardly qualifies as traditional. You go back to as far back as you can in Europe men cooked a lot. Especially during war time. Gender is irrelevant in cooking. The top chefs are all men!
Well I speak only for my culture then. 70 years ago in America, mostly women cooked
Whatever suits the couple. Some men like to cook.
I will NEVER cook food for myself. I AM a child of God. I take that literally.
i dont understand. can you elaborate?
Men should WORK and have OTHERS make their food and wash their clothes
interesting... and so what happens when you live in a society where most men wouldn't even be able to afford said lifestyle, nor deserve it?
What circumstances is that
the circumstance for the vast majority of men in the west? Most men cannot support themselves + wife + kids. Childcare costs average 19K a year per child. You're going to need to give your spouse her own allowance as well. You will need a house to roof them. She will need to drive and so will you. You will be paying for 2 cars and insurance on both. Traditionally speaking if you can't do this then you would be considered unworthy as a husband. Plus if you ever get sick or fall out of normal work then your family going hungry will be 100% your fault. If you are truly traditional you will not be applying for any welfare benefits either. So thats a hell of a lot to take onto your shoulders and tbh only a masochist would want that. Count me out! lmao!
Facts. It's justifable but NOT TO ME.
well best of luck to you. Maybe you'll pull it off too, not saying you can't/won't.
And children of god can't cook and clean?
@t-8900 Well if my Dad was capable of doing everything you described, than why can’t I?
@This_Is_My_Opinion8 Why dont you go ahead and learn to sew and weave your own socks. Wear makeup too.
Wear makeup is to make one more attractive.
But cooking, cleaning, sewing and what not are literally basic life skills. Everyone should know them. Otherwise you will always depend on women. What kind of men depends on women?
@This_Is_My_Opinion8 Why dont you want to look more attractive lol
@This_Is_My_Opinion8 I dont depend on women. You can pay people to do those jobs for you and the people who do those jobs make a lot of money because they cook and clean for dozens of people.
I don't need to.
Yes and those people are most of the time women. So you are dependant on them whatever you like to say it or not.
@This_Is_My_Opinion8 I dont give a fuck what they are.
Cooking is one of the most basic adult skills man
@Subarugirl Who said Im a basic adult?
It’s one of the most basic skills ever adult should know how to do
ngl it is pretty bad i knew how to cook my own food by the time I was 6 and I watch grown men struggle and have to resort to PB&J, canned crap, and TV dinners... your heart is hating you for it.
Ok guys. Each of you give me a recipe you would eat and ill try it out tonight and tomorrow and post pics.
Try something simple for start. Like chicken with white rice.
Nothing wrong with that. I like to cook.
As long its not me. I hate cooking
If your woman loves it, do ya thang.
I prefer to do the cooking.
I’d be very happy!
I sure as hell ain’t doing that!
It's a basic human skill
@This_Is_My_Opinion8 yeah man but I do not enjoy it tho
Not many people do. You don't have to know how to cook like a chef. But the basic chicken with rice at least is not a bad idea.
@This_Is_My_Opinion8 I can handle a grill but I don’t want to sit my ass around inside.
Boeing how to kook your own food is one of the most basic skills everyone should know.,
Don't care.
