Why do I always hear "my woman has to know how to cook" from this board to all over YouTube etc?
I've only had one live-in girlfriend and she was an exercise physiologist and we used to bulk cook boring meal prep food together it wasn't even an issue. With other girls who have told me they can't cook I've gone to their places and taught them how to cook basic shit as a date. It's fun, you get to hand feed her bits of food and crack jokes, and you teach her how to make your favourite food so she makes it when you come over.
Do you guys just not enjoy cooking? Or is it just an American thing because fast food is cheaper?
I just want a homecooked meal. I haven't had a nice homecooked meal since I left my parent's house 4 years ago.

The division of labor makes sense if you’re supporting her financially. It’s manchild tier if she’s working as much as you are, though.
Cooper Williams
It's often a proxy for many personality traits and what kind of upbringing she received and that usually comes with other homemaking skills. Many women who can't cook are that way because they rejected (or their single mother) traditional gender roles or just can'tgenerally take care of themselves. Those who were raised that way are sometimes receptive to learning and not always a lost cause but if a girl that can't cook that's always a red flag.
Austin Thompson
It's a litmus test.
Once a child is born, the single best source of food for that child is the mother''s breast. If she doesn't take to the idea of continuing to provide nourishing meals for her own children after weening, she's not really mother/wife material. If she DOES like that idea, but doesn't even attempt at any point to begin to learn to cook on her own, she's just supremely lazy, or has a priority set that puts it totally out of her schedule, and not really mother/wife material.
I can cook, but if a girl can't cook better than me she's not really a good option.
>Or is it just an American thing because fast food is cheaper? Fast food is more expensive than cooking.
Dylan Murphy
I see it mostly as a symbol. Modern "women" REFUSE to cook so they don't conform to gender standards. Those that do always tend to be more right wing and traditional. It's not cooking itself but rather the characteristics which lead you to cook. Imo at least.
its a popular sentiment in japan too, seems to be from people who care more about superficial traits of a relationship rather than forming a deep connection with someone
Angel Ross
If she wasn't able to learn the same basic stuff I learned when I was 7 I'm not interested. I'm not anyone's cheff, provider or bodyguard.
Robert Jenkins
I understand the psychological aspect when you explain it like that, but a lot of people just don't learn things if they never learned as a child. That's sad that women in Italy refuse to cook, I like Italian food as a cheat meal. I don't really see Australians as having any traditional food we kinda just eat whatever, but I've yet to meet a girl who was ideologically opposed to cooking.
Juan Harris
God you don't know how badly I want to find a woman to settle down with. All of my ex's have ruined my expectations of women though. I think the bachelors life will be mine unfortunately.
Brayden Kelly
This. men should be the provider. my wife is great with the kids and a great cook. really don't understand why women want to work. nice to come home and have the house taken care of
I can't explain the psychology of it but there's something very welcoming about coming home at the end of a day to a hot meal.
Jonathan Hughes
Because if I know how to cook why the fuck shouldn't she? It's a fundamental life skill like paying a bill or washing dishes or working the washing machine and knowing not to mix whites with fucking coloreds.
Fucking zoomers, man, I swear.
Angel Davis
It also forces your wife to kick out Jamal at least 1 hour before you come home to prepare your meal.
Jonathan Wilson
Providing a cooked meal is the most basic and effective form of support.
The man goes out to hunt and gather and comes home to receive refreshment so he'll be strong enough to go out and hunt and gather the next day.
Angel Scott
>because fast food is cheaper Americans do not eat fast food because it is cheaper(it isn't), they eat it because they are americans.
Angel Johnson
I enjoy cooking, but if a woman doesn't know how it's a clear indicator that she was not raised correctly. She can even be bad so long as she tries.
Josiah Nguyen
Guys you got to remember it goes both ways. Houses don't take the work they used to. Women used to have ring out all the clothes and hang them up outside. They used to have to wash all the dishes. Plus they had way more kids. So much time suckers. Taking care of the house is nothing now what it once was.
Carter Walker
If you won't even cook at decent meal for your husband/and, or children. Then you are just a useless cunt. Nobody WANTS to be provide for a useless cunt. ok?
Ayden Martin
Yeah I don't really care about le cook and clean meme. Top tier trad cringe. If that is what makes a life partner then your priorities are wrong.
Parker Hill
Stupid fucking mutt
Gabriel Morales
Cooking means she has a heritage and knows feminine secrets of yore
Joseph Lopez
i wish women knew how to cook in general. it gets tiresome fucking gay twinks for a home cooked meal.
Christopher White
only manchildren cant cook, if you cant wash your cloth, clean your place and feed yourself you are by definiton a child
Jackson Roberts
I found one. But I must be honest, I wasn't ''really'' looking for her. I just thought (well, if I keep dating sooner or later she will arrive...it doesn't)
Christian Roberts
Women cooking for the family is going to come back in a big way with this economy. Better tell the slag to taste the food while she's cooking it - that's the mistake most of them make.
Kayden Ward
Because cooking is fun? It requieres effort and you can become good at it? Why wouldn't anyone want to become good at cooking? Especially women, since they are way better at multitasking and figuring out the way with food in general.
I cook steaks pretty good, but I suck at deserts and some other stuff. Would be cool if my wife could compensate with her cooking skills for that.
I'm just saying you can teach your girlfriend to cook, it's not even difficult to make tasty and nutritious meals and if she actually likes you she will want to get better at it for you.
I swear people treat not knowing how to cook like you have 3 kids with 3 different fathers.
Michael Martinez
This is a slide thread.
Carson Long
Because when I fucking come starving and tired I need a real and healthy meal to set me up for a good nights sleep and to help my muscles and mind recover so I can get back out there and haul ass in 10 hours. She provides so I can provide. Our family is a team, a unit, an engine.
Eli Parker
>it gets tiresome fucking gay twinks for a home cooked meal Bummer, bro.
My wife cooks (damn fine food too) because she is a stay at home mom to our kids and I work/make the money. If she had a full time job we’d probably split the cooking (which will probably be the case once the kids are older and she decides she wants a job).
Jeremiah Morales
>tfw you will never have braces wife why fucking live????
