Do girls like men who can cook?

[Extasii]

Yeah dude. My advice is to go find yourself new friends and new women!

My friends love my burgers to the point where they will show up at my house with ground beef and bacon and beg me to cook for em

(My burgers include minced onion, dry ranch mix, and chopped/cooked bacon mixed in with the patty. Then you get swiss cheese and chopped mushrooms and wrap a good amount of them in between 2 patties. While grilling the burgers, put more bacon in the oven and when they are both done, wrap the burger in bacon.

Heck yes!!!!

My last boyfriend cooked for me all the time and i love it! I can cook just fine, but it was nice not to be the only one that could.

I don't get it; what is so repulsive about being able to prepare food? Even at the most animalistic level, it's a fantastic survival skill. From a civilized viewpoint, it's practically a resume-worthy skill. Hell, put it right there with "speaks Spanish and Afrikaans". You'll be known as "the guy who brings those delicious canapés to the office". How is it manlier and more attractive to be incompetent, it makes no sense!

Maybe its just the people OP is around. :/

A man who cannot cook is an embarrassment.

Seriously... it's a basic key to staying alive. I know you can easily get take away or pre-prepared food these days, but still.

Speaking from personal experience, women do like men that can cook. And making a meal together can be fun! It probably checks off two of the boxes a woman looks for in a man; by cooking you say 'I can take care of you', and you also show off confidence in the kitchen. And if there's one thing women like in men, it's confidence.

If your friends are giving you shit for it... well I don't know, maybe there just isn't anything else about you to make fun of. To be honest it's never happened for me. My friends are always asking me to cook for them. Which is fair enough, since my curry is the best in the world. As for the girls, well, are they teenagers? Younger women are basically looking for a life size Ken doll usually, just like younger men are looking for walking Jessica Alba poster.

Well it would be handy if my boyfriend could cook well because I can't

 

[Death Wolf113]

that's what I went to school for and I've only been given shit by really stupid people

 

[Vern5]

I am man who knows how to cook and my friends usually give me shit for it. All the girls I've been with think its weak. So my question is do women like men who can cook really well?

Where do you live? I get female compliments and praise on my cooking. What kind of women do you hang around?

 

[TheTim]

I can cook up a freakin storm and i never get shit from chicks for it, so i would say yes they do

 

[smithy_2045]

How is being a good cook in any way a downside?

 

[ArchBlade]

Not to be opinionated or anything, but I think I can safely say your friends and the girls you've been with have all been dreadfully wrong...

I can't begin to imagine why being able to cook would be viewed as a bad thing. By anyone. Ever. You are capable of preparing sustenance for yourself and others. IT'S A SKILL. I DON'T EVEN GET HOW ONE CAN BE MADE FUN OF FOR IT.

I cook, not a highly distinguished level, but I can cook up something that tastes pretty good. I also bake and everyone I know love it. Whenever my distant friends and I meet they always enjoy that I cook for them and maybe bake a little something. I once made tandoori chicken, nan bread and brownies for desert and that was very popular. I've even been told I'll make a great husband and father. So in my experience everyone loves someone who can cook, it means they wont have to so it saves work for them.

Considering that it's a sign that you are able to look after yourself (and thus a mate/offspring) I would say it's an attractive feature in a man. At least I hope so, I put some time in learning basic cooking tenets for this reason...

 

[johnnnny guitar]

Trust me people like someone who can cook a good meal hell I suck at traditional cooking but give me some tongs and a Barbie and you've got yourself a 5 star meal

 

[CommanderKirov]

I went on a month-long cooking class after loosing a bet.

I regret it up untill this day since every time me and my friends meet up. I'm the one that cooks stuff...

 

[Vault Girl]

I love a guy who can cook, doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it.

 

[Kailara]

Does ANYONE like ANYONE who can cook?

It's a great skill to have and there is no shortage in how it can help ANYONE with a relationship, be it breakfast in bed, taking the responsibility out of another's hands when they're busy or have had a rough day... etc.

Honestly anyone who values good, marketable knowlege is completely bonkers. It's hating someone for a valuable skill.

 

[Caffeinemancer]

Wow, really? Sounds a little to me like people are jealous that you can cook.

There are few things more attractive to me (a certified female, for the record), than a guy who can hold his own in the kitchen. Come to think of it, that's how my daughter happened. Hmm...

"The way to a womans heart is through her stomach"

Actually it's more upwards through the duodenum. It depends on how you want to get there and the position she's in.
If she's a sleep, then your best bet is a powerful thrust downwards over the heart. You'll experience a lot of resistance, but if you've lined it up right, you should be able to slide between the ribs and then you just have the cartilage to get through. It's a lot of work to get through that, but if you're trying to murder a woman in her sleep by stabbing her through the heart, then that's the way to go.
What you really want to do though, is get the carotid artery on both sides, the heart is too well protected to be a good place to go.

OT: Cooking is a good thing. I can't think of a single reason why being able to cook would be a bad thing for a guy to be able to do.
I can cook perfectly well, so it's not necessarily a requirement, but if a potential suitor could, it certainly wouldn't lose him any points.

It's a useful skill to have, so I don't see why you wouldn't like someone who can cook.
