those girls are raving morons. Seriously. i make my girlfriend things all the time, like cheesecake ( she goes wild over it) and shrimp scampi( she loves that too) then she is hegely content. Seriously, women love a guy who can cook, at least ones worth your time, after all, whjy should the woman do the cooking all the time? I think a girl would be flattered if you cooked for herTotalHobNob said:
I'm a guy who cooks, I rarely bake but I do sometimes, normally with friends for fun (hey, getting drunk and trying to make cake is fun).
Anyway, in my experience it's a turn on, not off. I've never got crap from guys but then I'm 6'3" and a rugby player, few people mouth off at me
but girls are so far unanimously impressed, plus being able to cook for them on dates is great.
Apart from that though, cooking is damned useful, even if you're stretched with pasta or a bit of bacon it's better than nothing. Ever lived alone? If you don't know how to cook your food is gonna get unhealthy, fast. Not necessarily wrong in itself but if you've grown up with good food then I'm told it's not fun. My sister is a terrible cook and she really suffered. Luckily her boyfriend she now lives with is a great one!
So, your male friends are probably jealous (genuinely) and your female friends? No idea.

They must not be in a state to really appreciate a guy who can cook, or you need a bit more practice, friend. A guy who can cook, and cook to a girl's tastes, is one she'll keep around. It really doesn't matter what your bros think of you being able to cook, it matters what she thinks.
For reference, instead of going out to eat at a restaurant, meeting a girl at a coffee shop then setting up a dinner date where you cook for her has worked for me several times over. Important addendum: prepare three things: interesting drinks such as an Italian soda, a main course that is portioned well with a side or two, and a quick and light dessert for afterwards. Doing so is a fantastic way to set up a great impression, and gives you plenty to talk about, discussing interests, differences, hobbies, all of that. Beforehand, make sure you ask her about allergies, so that you don't accidentally kill her. That list bit is quite important.

Exactly this: why is knowing how to cook a BAD thing? I don't know how to cook, but I wish I did. It's a life skill.Seneschal said:
To all those who say: "durr, learnin' how to cook is a GIRL thing!", well, enjoy bad tasting meals whenever you cook for yourself. And if you don't know how to cook for yourself, you're at the mercy of other people's skills.
Most girls I've talked to simply don't care if a man can cook or not. A few view it as a bonus. I've never met a girl who said "ew, you can COOK!?"
Honestly, if I had a woman tell me that being able to competently prepare a meal is weak, I'd tell them to get in the kitchen and prepare me a sammich, since I shouldn't be able to do so for myself.
Semi-joking aside...
Do your own thing OP. Being able to cook a good meal should never be looked down on. They're just jealous that they can't cook and you can.

The ability to cook a meal is a valuable life skill. Anyone, regardless of gender, should find that attractive.
Clearly the girls you've been with wish to starve, or subside only on take-away for the rest of their lives. Or just need to mature a little. One of the two.

I've never dated a game or known any girl friends of mine that didn't love or admire my ability to make my own dinner, even higher class dinner, from scratch. If someone thinks that a positive like the independence to feed yourself with good food is somehow a weakness, then you should educate them, or just not give a shit about that opinion they have, as you shouldnt have to stop because of that.
I'm sorry; is that a joke about cannibalism? Because as much as it did make me chortle, why 'Wendy's' in particular?Fwee said:

When most of you kids get older, you will understand that women are not cave slaves who cook and clean all the time. Cooking is not hard to learn. You dont have to be as skilled as a 5 star chef to impress a lady.
If a woman sees a man cooking as weak, she is a **** who probably has zero life ambition.

There's a lesson about cooking in here somewhere.

I like when a man can cook. Sharing the kitchen while preparing a meal is a lot of fun Teamwork and shit.
Teamwork and shit.
I made that ***** some food. Bitches love food.
The females with which you had relations with are idiots. You are weak if you can't cook.
