Let's say you're dating a girl, or you want to, is she likely to see it as a plus or minus that you know how to cook? I'm not talking about a bologna sammitch and box mac 'n cheese, I'm talking about an honest to God cooked meal that requires effort and patience. Basically do teh wimminz see it as a good thing you can cook, or do they see it as a threat, one less thing you'll need them for in a long term relationship or if the relationship goes south?

You must be a youngster. ALL, and I mean ALL women love a man who can cook.

They think it's "romantic" and "enlightened".

All of the girls I've dated thought it was a very positive thing that I can cook.

Why do you care what they think anyways? Your ability to cook should be low on the list of relationship killers.

It's a plus, it means they won't be expected to do it all the time.

Little do they know...har har...

Its absolutely a plus, and not only among the ladies.

Knowing how to cook is also a good skill to keep a healthy lifestyle and save a few bucks AND eat better food then those who cant cook.

I can cook, but my wife can COOK. She prides herself on her cooking. It is one of her ways of taking care of me.

I love a guy who can cook because I hate cooking myself so if he can cook he's well on his way into my bed!

Good cooking frequently leads to pie

If you can cook what I like to eat and do it to my specifications, you can do it all you want to. If anything you touch you fuck up and you even know how to give water a burnt taste, fuck off, I'll do it myself and I'll blade at a 45 and DISENGAGE if I ever see you in the kitchen doing something other than washing dishes.

My GF likes the fact that I can cook.

Posted: 1/25/2009 4:54:37 PM EDT

[#13]

My cooking consists of sandwiches, chef boyardee, frozen pizzas, hamburgers, and steaks on the grill. If she don't like it, she can get the fuck out. Oh yes, did I mention I'm single

I can follow directions; therefore, I can cook. I can also do a lot of other things that she can do, but she'll be the one doing them.

I say it's a net positive.

I'm a pretty good cook (Better'n most of the Women I'm involved with
) and, pretty much, as long as I'm able to cook dinner.....THEY'RE more than willing to bring the PIE!

I think I won my wife over when we were first dating with the home made chicken soup I brought her when she was sick.

Posted: 1/25/2009 5:00:30 PM EDT

[#17]

It's a win all around. Put a little time into a homecooked meal (especially if you can pull off cloth napkins and a candle or two) and it shows to her that you think about her and care. On the plusses for you, it's usually cheaper than going out and you've already got a leg up because you don't have to worry about convincing her to come back to your place.

...then again, I'm single too

My wife likes that I can cook (I'm a food network junkie). I like that she can cook too. We both have special things that we make that the other likes which is nice. We also have a lot of fun preparing meals together.

The more qualities you have that show you are not a dope, and the ladies will dig you more.

Do the dishes after a meal. I was on a double date, my roommate was dating a knockout. The girls cooked us dinner, then we were going to watch a movie. I stayed and helped the girls clean up. Did the dishes, etc. I said, "My mom taught me how to share the work around the house..."

She was way the heck out of my league. SHE asked ME out the next weekend...

Needless to say, yeah, chicks will dig you if you can cook...

I really screwed the pooch when I cooked for the GF unit. Now she is too embarassed to cook for me, which leaves me doing all the cooking. She really is a good cook my recipes are just a little more intensive. I like to cook though

Young women these days don't give 2 shits about knowing how to cook. I've had one ex that knew her way around a kitchen and that's only because her dad was a chef. Every single other woman didn't care. Suffice it to say, I know how to cook.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Been there and done that. It's sad but true. Then again, they're probably not the ones that are worth keeping to begin with. From experience it's a good screen to take a girl on a cheap, but fun date early on and see whether she is put off. It weeds out those that are into you for your wallet.

Take it from a woman... It is definitely a plus!

Lol. One of my frinds went on a date with a chick and asked where she'd like to go for dinner. She said, "Taco Bell." He took her home, instead. He said any women that asks for Taco Bell on a first date has got to go.

I love to cook.

I've been told on more than one occasion how sensual it is for a man to make dinner.

OTG, I think that making dinner for a woman that I've just started to date has lead to "dessert other than what I planned" 80% - 90% of the time. If pied was not had, it was still an enjoyable evening.

If you really want to kick it up a notch, learn to bake. making biscuits, popovers or muffins in the morning seals the deal

Why do you think I learned how to cook?

It wasn't because I was hungry!

My husband taught me how to cook.

I learned to cook by watching my ex-fiance while stationed in India. Then I watched our cook in Budapest (we stole him from the Canadian Ambassador). When I got out of the Marine Corps, I started teaching myself to cook, and remembered what I saw before. I love to cook now, and built my own refractory brick, wood-fired oven in my backyard. It doubles as a pretty decent tandoor, and gets up to about 700+ degrees. I can bake a pizza in about five minutes or so.

I am a much better cook than my wife, and I usually do most of the cooking. She likes alll of that prepackaged stuff, and I'd rather make stuff from scratch. My MIL started yelling at my wife when we were dating because I made better eggrolls than she did (wife is half-Vietnamese). I guess that it embarrassed her mom a little.

One of the best things to do while dating is to cook together. If you are making breakfast for your girlfriend, make her some crepes with a fruit reduction sauce. It looks fancy, but is easy to make. You can do a lot of recipies with crepes...

Creme brule' is also an easy recipie, and really gets women's attention.

Learn to bake bread too.

However they only love it when they are in the "romatic" and "enlightened" stage of the relationship. After a couple months when they get in the comfortable stage of the relationship it turns into something they expect you to do.

A man's gotta eat every day regardless of if he's dating or not, might as well cook for two.
