Women is it a plus if a guy a cook?

I see what Miss Spaulding is saying. It's probably something you should learn…just because you should as adult. lol
But that being said, knowing how to cook a few things, at least to me, shows a bit of maturity. You're past the stage where it's takeout pizza everyday and letting others take care of you. So, I think it's a nice to see.
An interest in cooking or baking is a huge plus for me, that's just because it's something I'm interested in.

If you read nothing else though, read this:
-- If on a date, a guy actually goes through the work to impress me by cooking the meal ..

Oh yes honey oh yes.

Hey, I dont eat take out every day.... Im matur..... okay maybe not, I take care of myself anyway.

I cant cook to save my life, but luckily food comes frozen.

I can heat up food like the best of them.

Well, probably can't hurt. Otherwise I'm tempted to think good things happen to men who cook.

Oh I know Toro, you're very very matur hehe.
I just had a scary realization though. Do you make all the tacos you eat, or do you buy them?

Well you can buy stuff that doesnt need much prep ya know.

Besides, even if you buy the raw dead cow and everything else........ it is still bought. Unless you raise the cow from a calf......... grow all the spices etc...... but even then, you had to buy the seeds and calf. so even the greatest of cooks BUYS their stuff.

I read this "Women is it a plus if a guy is a crook?


and I went wha?....

ROFL Silly!

Well I am glad you make your own tacos. I was about to say that if you weren't we'd have to teach you!
Although now i realize I may not be qualified to help, because I don't know a lot about raising cattle. Shucks.

^ lol, Matt!

It is a plus to me if a guy cooks. I like guys who aren't completely dependent on me.

Of course I'll cook his food or make him a sandwich, if he wants. But I don't wanna feel like he'll DIE if I'm not there to bring him his sandwich.

As a man of self-sufficiency who can cook, it is highly beneficial to be able to cook. Even if it's not every woman's turn on.

You should also learn how to clean, mend clothes, do your own laundry, and dishes.

Also being a reader, even if not an avid one, helps a man to think clearer, and more broadly. It gives you a broader perspective on the world around you.


Not everything should be done with the purpose of acquiring a woman, though that is a noble pursuit. The pursuit you should really be after is being a better man.

Listen to this man!
I especially agree with the bolded.


And Viren… *applause* neither of those are an easy task.

For a more complete list of Skills men should pursue after, here is an article from Esquire on the skills of a Gentleman....

Skills for Men - Things Men Should Be Able to Do - Esquire

Bear in mind, this is a secular magazine, so there are some *Adult* entries, but they are delicately phrased.

Bah, I quit while I was ahead. I struck out at the first one, being the long winded bull I am, but when I got to the second one of people lying. A lesson you learn very well playing poker. You aren't always right, but a good amount of times. I figured I could probably do no better than 50% on the test anyway. I saved time so, I WIN!

Well, Im already raised. But if you want you can come feed me if youd like.

It'll give you practice for how to take care of cattle.

Can you teach me how to knit? I used to be the queen of cinnamon rolls as a teenager but haven't done them in years. I hope I haven't completely lost it.

As for a man that can cook, great deal!

I am teaching myself how to cook basic meals. is a plus if a guy can cook?

Most definitely yes. I love it that my guy can cook! That means we can cook together

This seems like one of those things you should be able to do because you are an adult and it shouldn't be something you want credit for being able to do.

Hey, if you can do any domestic chores, it's a plus for me. Just shows how devoted the guy is to home life
