My grandpa always use to say, being a good cook would get even an ugly guy a girlfriend, my grandma always said that I was an exception to that because I was too ugly for a girl. Either way cooking is an essential skill.
damn man grandma was a savage!
No that's just how everyone in my life was, I grew up being called ugly by everyone.
I love my man cooking for me, because of my health issues I normally can’t cook for myself, so I love it when he helps me out by making dinner or lunch. Makes me feel like he’s taking good care of me 🥰
Man, who gives a sh** what people think. If you enjoy it and it does not get in the way of your other responsibilities as a husband or family man, then have at it! It’s a form of hobby - The fruits of which others get to enjoy as well. Cheers!
Anyone who would call you effeminate is likely insecure.
Da fuck?
Most chefs and TV cooks are male - not female.
What you're alluding to old fashioned misogyny, not actual working household makeup..
But more importantly, that shit you drummed up surely isn't what you're "proud" of cooking is it? You should be banned from cooking, if it is.
I was very much the cook I'm my marriage, ex wife barely knew where the kitchen was lol
for me its almost as special as cuddling up next to her. I love seeing my honey happy and knowing she's appreciated ^^
I would prefer he cook. I dont mind making the sides but i’ll leave the meats up to him
works for me! I would rather she just leave the whole thing up to me. If she could just get the dishes I'd greatly appreciate it tbh. I like cutting grass/shoveling snow, and vacuuming too. But dishes and clothes I loathe doing. I hate the tedious folding aspect of clothes especially lol
I like washing dishes. Im okay with washing/drying clothes. I hate folding/hanging clothes And i hate drying dishes. I love grocery shopping. I hate cooking.
would you like or be okay with grocery shopping like twice a week as a couple with your SO? also thankfully no matter where I move I'm having a damn dishwasher installed LOL. She could just load it up for me after dinner and that'd be fine too. XD
I love grocery shopping but hate pushing the shopping cart and i only do it once every two weeks. I also hate the dishwasher. It doesn't clean as well and i hate unloading it. Its better to handwash dishes and let them airdry
I guess someone who knows dishwashing knows better than me so I'll take your word for it LOL!
I'm sure a guy doesn't mind pushing the cart and loading and unloading groceries with or for his lady haha ^^
I only wash dishes like three times a year now lol. I make my sis do em 🤣 And i dont mind helping load/unload in the car
my dad actually gets pissed at me when we go to the store. He'll be like "Okay I can take some bags" I'm like "here's the eggs" and then he's like "okay what else?" I'm like "go inside dad". He's like "c'mon you're going to carry ALL THOSE GROCERIES?" And I'm like just for that... I'm carry ALL of them at once with one hand. He gets pissed lol.
Lol why do you do that? Cause he's older?
I guess so. I just worry about him and dont like him pushing himself tbh.
Your cooking skill has nothing to do with your sex. Just look at Gordon Ramsay. I my dad and mom split the cooking pretty evenly to not get tired of it back when they were still together.
IT'S RAW YOU DONKEY!
That would be good. I'm great at baking but cooking... eh. I basically eat protein bars, sandwiches, fruit & vegetables all the time. Lol That's my "cooking".
lol I suck at baking and want a girl who can bake actually. thats super funny! XD
I don't know how to cook but if a man cooks that doesn't mean that he's less than a man...
Some guys cooks delicious meals and teaches their wives how to cook...
some bitter men are getting too liberal with the word "simp" for every damn thing. I never understood it but maybe Anglos were big and the wife doing everything in the house all the time. In Italy it wasn't the same.
Nothing wrong at all with the husband cooking. I do a lot of the cooking in my marriage and I actually know more men who can cook well than women these days. It seems women have decided it is somehow demeaning for them to cook and a lot of mothers have just not taught their daughters to cook anymore. My wife is learning and getting better, but she regrets that her mother didn't teach her more.
In my family, men were usually the cooks. Hope I can marry someone who can cook too. I can cook sometimes, but I wouldn't call myself good at it.
What culture if you don't mind me asking? I'm from an Italian family myself. Not Italian American even though I was born here in the states. It's very much a thing for our family that the men cooked.
That's very interesting. I grew up with my step father, but he's Moroccan.
Ty for sharing! 🙏
Baking is the only thing I'm good as far as cooking go. So no I wouldn't mind. Why taking something way if he enjoys doing it
and i suck at baking. that's the irony lol
My boyfriend is the cook , and I don’t mind it as he doesn’t because he would rather eat a meal he knows is going to be good lol I can’t really compare since he was a chef for 10 years
My son does so freely... he's apprenticed as a commercial Chef.
I myself, CAN cook but am apathetic especially if just cooking for myself~
The air fryer and microwave are my friends!
Personally I think whoever is the better cook and or who enjoys it more should be the one to do most of the cooking.
But I also don't mind splitting that task either since I'm not half bad in the kitchen and I do enjoy it to.
Whoever the better cook is, should do the cooking, or whatever that couple decide to do before they get married, or adjust as circumstances change? It’s fine! Some of the best chefs on earth are men!
My dad is the cook in his house. He's an awesome cook. Many men enjoy cooking. There's nothing masculine or feminine about cooking. We all have to eat.
When I first got married I did 90% of the cooking. As it marriage progressed I started doing less and less. I probably cook 30% of the time. I’m ok with cooking. It’s just been helpful with the fact that she’s home more than I am that she has picked up on the cooking. I’m always willing to help out or just cook if needed.
My husband is the chef in our house. He's an awesome cook and a bad ass, tough guy, construction worker. It's not effeminate to cook. I'm the better baker, he's better at main courses.
Ideally, both share cooking duties. Sometimes, though, one is a much better cook than the other. I know several couples where the guy does most of the cooking.
