I’m truly baffled by their refusal to learn how to cook. Personally I had no idea how to cook anything besides pop-tarts when I went to college. Y’know what I did? Watched YouTube and cooking shows until I learned. There were many times I messed up and made something inedible. Threw it away and tried again another day. Now I’m pretty decent at making basics.

It's not that hard at all, even just eating five random fruits/veg throughout the day. With a little protein and starch should keep you reasonably healthy. You could literally just cook eggs and potatoes and be healthier than most men.

Ugh this! I have never had a positive experience where I've revealed to a man that I enjoy cooking/ baking - they always interpret that as I'll do all the cooking full stop! I've resolved to keep these interests a little more closely guarded going forward as a result.

I mean that's basically survival of the fittest right? If you can't cook without a woman doing it for you... you know yeah guess you're dead boo.

That type of basic incompetence is a turn off though.

I loathe cooking. I do it, but I hate every minute of it. There isn’t a man on earth I’ll go out of my way to cook for, in fact in future relationships if cooking isn’t an interest of his I don’t want him because someone. needs to do the cooking, and it isn’t me. It was the only thing my stbx husband did that I miss and the only noticeable difference since I kicked him out is that now I have to cook.

Why do they assume we give a shit?

BrightIdeaGenerator · 2021-09-30T13:03:17+00:00

My brother is an AWESOME cook. He taught himself to cook real food from YouTube and cooking shows. I learned from him. Soooooo, this is yet another lie.

My husband knows a scrote whose wife just left him. He says watching this guy learn to do basic things like feed himself and his own laundry has been like watching a baby learn to walk. He has, of course, taken every opportunity to mock this guy for being 40 and not knowing how to care for himself. 😆

Then perish 💅

Yes.

That's just lazy. Crockpots cooks tons of healthy meals. Pressure cooker cooks meals faster than normal. Air Fryer cuts down on grease a lot. You can freeze meals. Their are so many ways to cook healthy that's convenient. How about instead of chips have fruit. Tons of recipes in books and internet. Its not hard. Their is no excuse.

I don’t care lol when you reveal that you know how to cook, bake ( i know this because i raised 2 brothers) they already assume they have a personal chef but they deserve it? Hell no. They don’t know how to cook a tomato sauce

miwamus · 2021-09-30T17:43:05+00:00

Die mad and hungry.

MorthaP · 2021-09-30T21:11:06+00:00

men are simultaneously the superior sex but also need everything explained to them like 5year olds 0w0

CrazyPaine · 2021-09-30T16:23:23+00:00

If they can't cook they can't survive then oh fucking well.

FDSGYARU · 2021-09-30T12:24:57+00:00

Evolution at its finest.

HamburgerFries8 · 2021-09-30T21:37:20+00:00

My brother is like this. He's been eating frozen dinners literally every night because "he doesn't have a woman to cook for him."

Learn to code meet Learn to cook.

I was raised in a southern Baptist family, if there's one thing all of us are good at it's cooking and eating. Hell, I can whip up perfect fluffy catshead biscuits while drunk off my ass. I love to cook and I love to cook for people who appreciate good food.

But I have learned to never mention that I can cook, or to downplay it when they ask. It inevitably turns into the chore I am expected to do because I'm sO mUcH bEtTeR aT iT.

Nope.

Everyone needs to eat. It speaks to their lack of self-sufficiency if a man can't cook.
