I don’t really care if she can cook. Whenever I have a girl visit me, we’ll either go out for lunch or dinner or I will cook steaks on the BBQ Grill

Alright, let's chop and stir this topic with a pinch of perspective and a dash of humor! While the ability to cook can be a delightful bonus, it's hardly a make-or-break in the modern recipe of love and relationships. I pride myself on being able to whip up a culinary storm in the kitchen, making cooking a joint adventure rather than a solo flight. Imagine the fun in creating a mess and memories in the kitchen together, rather than ticking off skills on a checklist. It's all about connection, not perfection. So, whether you're a master chef or someone who thinks a gourmet meal includes making cereal, it’s the sharing and caring that truly seasons the relationship. Let’s keep stirring the pot of love together, shall we? 🍽💞

558 opinions shared on Relationships topic. It's my personal preference for a woman or anyone to have a cooking ability that is at least on par with what would sustain & aid human health/life. So, as long as the food is cooked thoroughly enough to kill the most pathogens possible without damaging the nutrients in it or making it too carcinogenic, then it's good enough for me.
But I do prefer to cook for myself nowadays. This is because most people don't eat as strictly & healthily as I do, so they likely wouldn't measure the serving size to portion or avoid adding unhealthy additions like adding too many/much fat, salt, sugar, oils, etc.10 Reply1.5K opinions shared on Relationships topic. I think it's important it's not mandatory... . I mean I can cook and I can cook very well and what I like about cooking is the same thing I would like about a woman cooking and that is being able to put things together on a whim and make it taste unbelievably good because that just means that she's creative and I like that more out of a woman then knowing how to cook. Because it just shows her as a confident person and not afraid to try new things

+1 yI think everyone should learn how to cook reasonably well. You don't need to be a chef, but knowing how to make roasts tender and juicy, how to mash potatoes without over-mashing, how to steam vegetables without over-cooking them, how to fix several salads and a basic dressing, those are basic skills both men and women should have. With YouTube, it's easier than ever.
However, is it a dealbreaker for a relationship? No. It's easy to learn to cook, and it's a fun activity to do as a couple.
The main thing I would say to guys on here is this: If you marry a woman, it's a good idea to ensure that she gets a break from cooking once or twice a week, preferably three times. Meals get to be a grind, no matter how good of a cook we are. It's even worse if we are pregnant and the smell of food is nauseating. Stock some decent frozen pizzas, organic frozen veggies, organic fruit and frozen yogurt cubes for smoothies, etc. Basically anything pre-prepped and/or frozen is good, and you can still eat pretty healthy. Costco has some great options now. Just a thought...

+1 yBoth. The old hackneyed saw about "make me a sandwich" is a lousy way to dismiss someone, but a key- perhaps THE key- part of making relationship work is finding ways to make your partner feel loved. Feeding them is a great way of doing that (I can confirm that this DOES work on women, though I suspect it's better on men), especially if it's something you've made yourself.
It needn't be something complex, either; it's more about the gesture of caring and support (and the calories, of course) than the effort or difficulty.

+1 yif someone is looking for a cook, it probably would be important... the rest of people will look more for matching personality traits :D
20 Reply1.1K opinions shared on Relationships topic. Not just confined to the woman , I think everyone should at least know how to cook the basics , its a part of survival , and my cooking is basic , and its cheap to eat out here , but some times just so convenient to stay home.
10 ReplyI think its important that every grown up has basic cook skils. That includes women.

+1 yI'm not cooking every meal for the rest of my life for two people. If she can't perform a basic life skill like cook or drive then that's a no-go.
10 Reply 6.8K opinions shared on Relationships topic. It's not a consideration for me. If she really hates to cook I can do it, and she can clean up or take care of other things. If she's a reasonable adult we will work it out.
10 ReplyI can cook a lot of things well and know how easy it is, thus when a woman can't cook she comes off as a bit mentally challenged.

m +1 yI’m a decent cook and tend to do most of the cooking, it helps if she’s also decent at cooking, however it’s not a problem if she is not.
10 Reply441 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I'd expect any woman that I would be in a relationship to be able to match my skills in the kitchen, for me it is a basic skill that everyone should have.
10 ReplyI do most of the cooking so I don't care if she can or can't. My single parent mom made sure I could take care of myself and I don't like being a burden on people when God blessed me with functional legs, arms and a brain.
00 ReplyCooking is a basic skill everyone should know.
If anyone don't know how to make it tasty that doesn't matter but at least they all should know what to choose, how to cook, how much time does it take to cook, is it undercooked-perfectly cooked-overcooked, etc00 ReplyOh no, I must learn, I have no choice if I want to live alone, so yes, it's important!

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yIt's very important to me. I cook well myself and I enjoy good homecooked food, and I don't want to be the only one who knows how. And honestly, I don't think I could respect a woman who can't cook.
