Do women still cook for their man?

Question

I feel like it’s a show of love when someone cooks for you. It means a lot.

Chazmatazz269 · Accepted Answer

Some women do. There’s a fine line though between cooking for two and cooking for someone you love. Crossing that line actually makes a huge impact on me, and i think a lot of men. Not necessarily even cooking per se. Just preparing some food for another.
One time, at band camp, a woman sat me down at her table, offered me a cocktail, and proceeded to make a sandwich for me. Complete with some chips and a pickle on the side. She didn’t even ask if i was hungry or if i wanted something to eat. She just did it. She didn’t make anything for herself except a cocktail of her own. We just sat and talked while i ate. I fell for it. I fell for her. I never got the impression that that was her intention though. Unrequited love is proof that if there is a god, she’s female. Ell oh ell!
Every time a woman has cooked for just herself and me, if it wasn’t already a committed relationship it soon became one. Even if there isn’t love there, feeding someone and being fed by someone sure does feel like love.

My woman does. ☝️And it's because she is exactly that type of woman that we are in a happy relationship and growing ever stronger. The women who genuinely love cooking for their men are usually the ones who believe in family values & love. Not like today's modern western women who think that cooking for their men is "beneath" them. Lo and behold, these are the women who are often miserable and alone. They have no issues doing favors for their boss, but when it comes to a man they are supposedly in a relationship with? No way José! But you as a man are EXPECTED to uphold your traditional values. Otherwise, you can forget about that sex that you are only getting once every 2 months! My message to these ladies:  If you don't want a traditional man who takes care of you, make sure to play your part as a traditional woman as well. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Until then, enjoy your cats.

I used to but I'm tired of temporary boyfriend or family friends that come and go. I'm exhausted with temporary people. I'm no longer doing ''presenting the guy to my family (part of the hispanic/latin culture) and cooking an elaborated meal'' for him. It's too much investment for nothing.

Unless it's for serious things (and I don't mean ''I love you'' lovebombing BS) and the relationship is heading there, fine. I don't trust easily anymore. I have no motivation to make anyone (maybe my family at times and for myself) meal nor presenting anyone to my family again nor even posting pictures if I'm on another date. What for?

I cook for him, yes. Usually 3 or 4 days of the week, and he cooks on the other days or we order takeout or something. I'm not that great of a cook honestly but I'm getting better. Sometimes we order the meal kits like Hello Fresh, and it helps me learn some new techniques, plus I can make those meals over and over again.

I'm much better at baking though, and I enjoy that more. My husband is much better at cooking than I am. Since our work schedules are almost the same, we share household duties when we're both at home together.

Apple1996 · Answer

Yes I cook for my husband most days. He takes over dinner maybe 1-2 times a week tho when he knows that I'm too busy to cook.

MissHope · Answer

I still cook food and bake different sweets with all the love I have since I am a wife and a mom. I enjoy cooking getting compliments on the food and seeing their happy expressions while eating brings joy to me.

There are 'some' modern women who can cook, but very, very few. The ones I've met who say they can cook, really can't. I mean they can open a can of soup, put some lettuce in a bowl and pour some dressing on it, but the real cooking skills their grandmothers had are truly lost on them, and most have no interest in learning. I know a lot of guys my age who are relatively good cooks, and some who are very good, but I have only met one woman in her 20s or early 30s who can cook. It's very disheartening when I think about the prospect of marrying a modern woman. Many don't even want to be mothers, and the ones who do would prefer to pay someone else to mother their children for them. What use do these women serve in a man's life other than sex?

Daniii101 · Answer

Yes. My parents do this. But when I am in a relationship one day, I would like to see the man trying at least, like not just leaving it all for the woman to do thinking it's our duty or something. Like come on, it's 2023 not the 1800s. No offence.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

She tries... but women can't cook as well as I do. I would trust any man's cooking here over any of the women's... just saying. Edible isn't as good as restaurant quality. Don't believe me? take a peek in the kitchen the next time you're out to eat at some restaurant. Tell me if you see a chick at all. Nope... the chicks are out there with the beta males asking you what your order is and coming by your table asking how the food is.

desidoll · Answer

Yes. I make breakfast, lunch and dinner for my fiancè. Only when we are outside I normally don’t cook. Cooking and baking are both my hobbies so I don’t see it as an obligation or a gender role. I love feeding my man! He loves all of my cookings and pastries.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

It is nice if she cooks for me. I prefer to pour her some bourbon/whiskey in a mason jar, and have her sit in the Adirondack chair with her feet propped-up while I make her a nice meal on the grill. I love making new things on the grill or fire and getting my girl to try them out.

NamerOfStars · Answer

If they're smart. Learning what makes your partner feel loved is a vital part of any relationship, and while it's of course going to vary from person to person what exactly that is, feeding them is a VERY safe bet for men. Probably for women, too, if to a lesser degree.

AdithyaR · Answer

Personally I'd prefer we take turns. As arrogant as it may sound, my tastebuds enjoy my own cooking much more than anything else so I'm gonna need my own food sometimes too.
Plus feeding others is my love language so i would generally prefer taking the the role more.

jvnxs · Answer

Not gonna lie, it depends on the couple. I am not in a relationship at the moment, but, my parents take turns cooking for one another. Sometimes my mom does it, sometimes my dad. They even it out so that the burden doesn't get to the other.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I have him in mind when I cook.  So, I usually add at least one of his favorite dishes to the lineup I serve.  He's very appreciative.

TrueConfection · Answer

I do all the cooking and baking. Early in our relationship it was a show of love. Now it's a matter of survival. I don't think my husband can cook.

electromagnetic · Answer

We take turns.  It really depends who gets home first.  Right now our schedules means he gets home first. He’ll cook and I’ll sous chef and clean. Then on weekends, I’ll cook.

catiecatie · Answer

I’ll admit I’m not a very good cook, but I can bake like there’s no tomorrow. Cookies, monkey bread, Carmel puffcorn. You name it I can pretty much bake it.

Anonymous · Answer

Most women in modern times cannot cook and clean. A lot of guys have to be cleaning up after their girlfriend and often couples order takeout. Modern day women have abandon in a lot of ways what it means to be feminine and think that dressing up sexy and giving men sex is enough for a relationship.

Sixgunsound · Answer

I believe this sums it up quite nicely:

hIopinionated_ · Answer

I agree, it really does show love and care when you cook for someone. Therefore, I wonder why most men don’t cook for their women. . Hmm🧐

Gibbons44 · Answer

Man = previously marrier. Woman = previously married. They probably do.

I have never previously married, though I am an excellent cook (and chef). Michelin star level at least, and that from casual interest.

soe11 · Answer

To be honest trend is transformed, according to me both genders cooking equally.

In my house girlfriend's mom mostly cooking on weekdays, weekend give her rest, my girlfriend and I cook, so she has to just eat and relax.

Anonymous · Answer

I would actually love that, earlier I used to feel the opposite and I am an excellent cook myself. However, men cooking in relationships don't work, women tend to lose respect for you, take you for granted, and then leave as they will not have much to do in that relationship. Men are already expected to be financially stable and provide, irrespective of their cooking skills, better focus on that.

Chrysantenum95 · Answer

I really slaute men or women who cooks for their love ones, whether amazing or simple meal. Its a true act of service that anyone won't deny🥰

Anonymous · Answer

I don't know how to cook but I want to learn. It's hard when you don't get those skills passed down to you from your mother. And most girls I grew up with did not have the benefit of that "mentoring".

AydenHazor · Answer

Why is it that the woman has to cook for her man? Why can't the man cook for his woman? Or both? I cook and bake, and enjoy it, I don't want to enter into a relationship and have someone else do all the cooking

RavVid · Answer

It does mean a lot but I think girls more assemble now. By that I mean heat up pre-cooked food and open salad packs with included dressing.

sexy_julia · Answer

My husband and I will take turns. But yes, I cook for him and for the kids.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

Of course they do. My mom cooks for my dad & my sisters cook for their husbands.

pupluv45 · Answer

I think that is a very old fashioned way to look at it. Nowadays people don't show love that way. In fact, vast majority of millenials and gen z celebrate eating out over cooking.

I cooked for a spouse for a while many moons ago; he’d always come home late and bitch that the food was cold. Offered to heat it up and he complained it wasn’t fresh.
Cooking for a man is just a chore. No thanks 🙏

I literally don't know any women my age who can cook. I mean they can boil pasta and heat some spaghetti sauce, but that's about it. I'm sure there are women who can cook, they are just rare.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

A lot of things are a "show of love.". But cooking takes time and effort. So you shouldn't just expect that from someone.

Most women need a GPS to find the kitchen, and have no idea what to do once in the kitchen (except take a selfie).
