MB. Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I have friend who was dating this guy and she got dumped with: 'I am at an age, I want a serious relationship and look for a woman to spend the rest of my life with. I can't continue with this relationship, cause you can't cook' Valid reason, lol. I laughed so hard. What an ass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homemaking skills are very important to the long term success of a marriage if the male does have pre-conceived notions or expectations about what the woman's roles are.

Maybe back in the 1950's. There's no a reason why a man shouldn't have to take care of his own home. Cooking is actually a useful skill.

I'm not talking about burning a steak on the grill, I'm talking about preparing a wide variety of healthy and delicious meals. If I was under 30 and in the market for a wife she would definitely need to know how to cook or be willing to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just being sarcastic...but there is a lot more to making a marriage work than cooking, cleaning, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Be more useful if you learn to cook yourself. Women love that. At least that is what my dad taught me growing up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do most of the cooking for my girl. Cooking is a lot of fun and pretty challenging and rewarding. I think the idea of men not cooking is rapidly dying off. With all these food shows featuring men as chefs enjoying so much popularity, its starting to become a more masculine hobby. Cooking for yer girl is one of the most "manly" things you can do in a relationship.

Are you suggesting most women can preparing a wide variety of healthy and delicious meals? Or that women should exclusively be expected to be able to cook? Why? Most professional cooks and chefs (including my dad) are men. I don't think men have some kind of genetic flaw that makes them unable to cook. Everyone should be taught (or actively learn) how to cook because it's an important life skill and if you can't even feed yourself then...

She'll love it more than takin her out to an expensive restaurant too I've never considered cooking to be necessarily feminine, or men who cook to be unmanly, it's just the time involved to do it properly. When I was younger we were told to use the microwave, as it was considered space age technology. Obviously, what we gained for the sake convenience we lost in experience.

What I'm suggesting is all things being equal a woman who can cook is better marriage material than one who cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you cook anything for yer girl Steve? You strike me as a grill man Being a classic grill man is pretty valuable too. I've met few people who can make a steak or burger proper like. I've met many who try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. And the same could be said for men who can cook. But it also seem awfully cold and clinical to base a life partner largely on basic life skills such as cooking and cleaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether on the stove or grill his steaks are perfect. I would be disappointed when I find out my mom was making dinner. She overcooks everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiraMPD Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Bringing it back to the topic... I don't know if this is a 'strange' breakup line, but when I broke-up with my last boyfriend I told him that I "don't have the time and emotional stamina for a relationship right now". He just said "Okaaay" and very kindly accepted it and moved on without a fuss which I think was sweet of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) I can make dinner, my husband can cook. There is a difference. His food is way better than mine??. I did love the guy was honest though. I can appreciate that. Lol, and with his statement my friend knew immidiately 'it was never going to work' anyway Edited December 18, 2016 by MB.

You strike me as a grill man Truth be told I cannot remember the last meal I prepared for anyone, to include myself. I am spoiled. We also go to restaurants a lot. I will attempt to prepare an evening meal at home for family and friends the first week of the New Year and we'll see how it goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the 18 years I was married to my soon to be ex, I ended up being the only one working for about twelve of those years while he sat home feeling sorry for himself and doing whatever he wanted to. I can cook, by the way, I raised a child as a single mom for six years, I'm no gourmet cook but I can make a meal. When I was 15, I started dating a musician who lived in a house with his band...yes, they kept a really trashy place, so I ended up constantly going over and cleaning up so it was tolerable to live in.
