POLL: Girlfriend better know how to cook?

[HombrePequeno]

Yes, she should know how to cook. I can only cook pretty basic stuff so unless she wants to eat steak, pasta, hamburgers, or macoroni and cheese (Kraft) all the time than she better know how to cook a few things as well.

My wife could not cook before marriage but now cooks 4-6 dinners a week, and is improving constantly. She is starting to love it, and so am I.

The g/f and I are both cooks, split up the tasks accordingly. As long as I don't put jalopenos in the pasta, she likes what I make.

My mum didn't know how to cook before marriage then she learnt and she is an amazing cook.

Now my dad is also a great cook (past 6yrs, previously he was a panel beater for cars for 10yrs). He learnt to cook properly in about 9months. He cook everyday and makes a living out of it as he owns a Fish and Chip and Chinese takeaway . Mum can also cook the takeaway food. I prefer home cooked Cambodian food .

I can cook things myself. It isn't hard to read and gauge things. I just don't have the finesse of my parents yet, but then I don't cook everyday.

my husband shops for/prepares all the dinners here and he's a terrific cook.

"i'm a girl - i love to cook!"

I love to cook when I know what i'm making will taste good..which means i've had a lot of practice making it before.

I love to LEARN to cook tho....i think it's so much fun.

I'd prefer if my S.O. knew how to cook but i won't fault him if he doesn't.

Not knowing how to cook is just...odd. WTF is so hard about it. Raw food + fire = you eat. I was never taught how to cook - it just came by instincts.

I like to cook. I wouldn't mind if she was willing to learn and cook with me. But if she is totally unwilling to cook, that shows a part of her character. <Selfish> i.e. - Doesn't enjoy doing things for anyone else.

Meh, my sister barely cooked before she was dating her, now, husband. Her husband loved to cook. My sister gradually picked it up, and now she is an awesome cook.

i prioritize it right there behind what socks she likes to wear..

 

[IceBergSLiM]

its not so important that she knows how to cook but more her willingness to learn how to cook and applying that knowledge daily by feeding my belly!

 

[fbrdphreak]

All I know is my gf can cook up a damn storm, is intelligent, and hot; not giving her up anytime soon

 

[Lazy8s]

I love to cook and my g/f is a music major. I'd rather do the cooking while she plays piano, makes me feel like a professional chef. It's all about working well togeather to me. If I couldn't cook it would matter more. It's not sexist imo to want to make sure that someone in the relationship can cook. It sounds intelligent, you wouldn't marry someone if one of you couldn't speak english and the other one did would you?

We share cooking responsibilities. Each of us has our own specialties.

However when it comes to unplanned meals... I usually get the call cause I tend to be more creative in the kitchen...turning leftovers into meals.

That being said.... my father-in-law cooks dinner for the entire family 3-4 times per week... so we mooch alot of meals. (downside...I gotta see my father-in-law alot... lol)

 

[j00fek]

Yes, I don't care because i can cook and enjoy it

 

[Mill]

I can cook, but I'd love to be able to split the duties. Her being unable to cook wouldn't be a dealbreaker, no. I don't even know if my current GF can cook or not. I've never asked her to. We are too busy dining out at every restaurant that I've never tired.
