Woman should Cook

A woman should know how to cook best because a delicious food is a way to man's heart. When they are already married, they have their designated roles for the family. The man works for the family and the woman cooks for the family.

What you say is right, but then nowadays the scenario is changing, that too in my country. Wives are also earning and so the cooking gets shared. I have heard about men cooking food and looking after the house. But in my home, whatever happens I cook and my husband doesn't know cooking at all.

I love this post-feminism era. I don't cook a blessed thing unless I have to. Thankfully, my current significant other is a chef and food is his passion. He cooks, and I clean up afterward. It works beautifully for us. With my ex, both of us disliked cooking, so we split the chores evenly. That also worked. And yes, he did get better with meals the more he did it.

U make a good point... If it works 4 U & URs then who cares what anyone else thinks? In my last relationship, I (Male) did the cooking, She didn't cook, but I loved doing it for her, sometimes with her. Sunday morning omelets tasted better after a great (Dinner & Dancing) Saturday night... & I do a mean omelet... AC

In this modern time, woman and man all need to go to work. So it's not fair to say that woman should cook whereas man can avoid it. I think the housework shall be shared. It may be true that woman is good at cooking. But it will be nice if a man can cook. It is not a shame to it.

Boy do you come from the dark ages. Or is this common in your country? In my country there are no designated roles for the man or woman. They each choose to do what they choose. In my country sometimes the man stays home and raises the children while the wife goes to work, especially if the wife is educated and has a job that pays more than the man makes. And when both parents are working they share the chores of cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids. I am glad I live in my country.

It depends on the relationship. Many men cook and take care of kids; many women work at least in the United States.

I disagree. Being able to cook well is a skill, surely, but it is not the way to create love. I hate that cliche. Love is so much deeper than that. I disagree again. Designated roles in the family? I can see how the family's situation may dictate who contributes what and when. I completely abhor the misogynistic and sexist belief that the man should work outside the home and the woman's place is in the home. I have no problem if a family wants to do that, there's nothing wrong with it. But there is also no reason whatsoever why it must or should be that way.

I don't think anyone was trying to be sexest lol.I think they were just stating their oppinion that having a wife that can cook good is a very good plus if you do get married :P.Because I have heard of women who never cooked before their honeymoon and they want to cook chicken or something and since they're noobs they burn it and the men have to eat it even though it taste like ashes :P.

I think cook is one of the very imortant skills for us to live well in the world. Delicious food can make people feel better and find the happiness of the world. In today's world, less and less young people lose the skill to prepare food for themselves. so they ahve to spend a lot on their meals. To save the money, to enjoy the world, I think everyone in the world should know how to cook for ourselves.

Actually the woman does both the work and the cooking. There are other home chores that men don't like to do. I won't mind if my husband would wait for me with dinner on the table when I come home from work. I know I'm asking for the impossible.

I don't think so. Up to now, most of chefs are male, they cook much more delicious food than women. In our country, we normally find that housework is shared Averagely by husband and wife. As one member in a two-incoming family, husband knows cooking and often cooks for his wife.

Sometimes we have to depart from our designated roles if we don't excel in it. e have to admit that there more successful chef who are men than women. In my case, I do cook food for my family but my grandfather had shown me examples that its not bad to cook for his family too.Actually, even after a busy in the ricefield, he still cooks upon getting home. The woman's responsibility doen't begin and end with cooking for the family. We must also consider the fact that a plain housewife does almost everything at home and she also gets tired. On the other hand, a working wife also gets tired at work just like her partner so its just practical and sweet to have the husband help a little,will that be cooking or any other chore he can do.

Perhaps in your country that is he norm but in the USA these rules went out the window when it became necessary for women to also contribute to the family income.

Are you kidding me! There are men that can cook circles around women. I believe food is a way to EVERYONE'S heart. Everyone I know loves to eat. I have won many people's heart, men, women, and children alike. I don't think the burden of cooking should only be the woman's responsiblity unless she enjoys it!

Why would being male or female make one a better cook? My partner does more cooking than I do because he's by far better at it than I am. Household chores should be reasonably divided between couples based on who can do the job better, who enjoys/doesn't mind doing the chore not by gender.

That was always true in the past, jernick, but people's ideas have changed a lot over the past couple of decades. I come from a long line of women with good cooking skills, and it has been passed from generation to generation. The ability to create great meals is definitely an asset to a woman, but many men no longer consider that a prerequisite when choosing a partner.

Hello? What century is this? Either you believe that or you thought of a great way to get a LOT of outraged responses. I'll bet it is the latter. 1) Cooking is work 2) Laundry is work (fortunatley my husband does that) 3) Cleaning is work (yes, he does more than half of that too, although not in the kitchen 4) Not all men work, actually! 5) Many men cook. Some are chefs, in fact. Oh, you get the idea. Happy myLotting, and if your designated role is cooking, happy cooking. As for me, if any man tried to designate my role, I'd bonk him over the head with a cooking pot. Just kidding, but the impulse would be there!

It is not a "womans" job to cook. Altho I love to cook for my family, it is not a way to a mans heart. I have a 9 yr old son and he can even cook certain things. Everyone has to eat therefor everyone including men should learn to cook. This is 2008 not 1938. Women play many roles today, some are even the so called "breadwinners" of the family. As far as designating roles.. if that works for your family or others great. But here in my family, we all cook, we all clean, and it works out great.
