I don't see how that's sexist. If being a talented cook makes a woman more attractive to you, I think it's reasonable to have that as a selection criterion.
Yes, yes it does.
Refusing to date someone who isn't a woman, now THAT is sexist.
Ouch ...
I think that as long as you are not expecting a gourmet meal each and every night.
Absolutely not ... and not even to cook every night. I think they just should be able to cook. The ex Mrs. JR #2 wasn't such a good cook. Despite some of the other problems, I think her lack of culinary skill led to some of our problems. Not directly ... but indirectly ....
Food and Cooking could be a common interest, and it's good to have a mate that you have common interests with... but if you find the perfect woman in all other aspects, and she can't cook... would that be a deal breaker?
I see this as a common interest to help build a relationship but certainly not an absolute dealbreaker. It just seems almost like a good screening measure ...
Plus chicks love a dude than can cook.
And ones that use pics of his dog squeezing a teddy bear as his av. Sometimes it takes a canine to get a bit of the feline.
I will have to remember that ...
Cooking can be a great togeher thing but if you are expecting diner to be cooked for you everynight you will be sad and alone...just saying. Evening when I was on maternity leave and home I didn't make diner.
My only real expectation is that if you are going to cook .... it should be good so the potential date doesn't have to feel sheepish about offering a bad meal or I should feel obliged to say, um yeah, not so much.
We both alternate doing the grocery shopping. Whomever does the shopping basically does the cooking. We both like it so it works out well.
I think you are accelerating things on me just a little bit there buddy! Still dating ...
^ this. I used to cook a lot more before studying for the PE and then moving. Need to get back at it. I always feel better about myself when I make something for dinner rather than eat out or eat something cheap. I wish I had someone to cook for me sometimes tho.
I really got out of routinely cooking when I got married and then my wife just got lazy and wanted to eat out all of the time. So, I am forcing myself back into cooking ... I mostly like poultry, fish, and seafood but still have some lean beef occasionally. After all, it is Michigan, right?!
I motivate myself with cooking if I know it is going to come out okay.
Yup. I usually only cook big meals that are easily reheatable. Otherwise, I'll just make sammiches or some other single-serving meal. I do cook for family, friends and neighbors on occasion, but not enough to keep my skills sharp.
I have never handled eating the same thing for more than two nights in a row very well. I have really tried, but it doesn't work for me.
