Awesome, yeah I can't cook like a chef but I try! And I think that this is a must, read a recipe, google some things... women we gotta get it together.... what are we going to do feed the babies Mc Donalds?

You are picking the wrong women but I am thankful that you qualified that statement by saying that 75% that you met and not women in general. My ma and grandma wouldn't have allowed me to not learn what to do in the kitchen but you got to be special for me to cook for you.

Maybe you should learn (only if you don't know ) and work with the ladies because like the poster said there is nothing sessier than a man who can cook.

Both myself and my older brother know how to cook. My Mum always a man should know how to cook that way he's not dependent on a woman to cook for him. I feel you should know to cook just to feed yourself at lease.

honestly my mother taught me not to rely on a woman to cook. she told me i would end up starving if i did. i can cook for myself. with that being said, i still love it when a woman can throw down in the kitchen. its really sexy. i love to eat, so i guess it goes hand in hand.

Oh, and to the woman who said that other ethnicities of men don't ask this question...this is soooo true. I was engaged to a european man for a couple of years before I was married, and he never asked me this....he actually asked me what my favorite foods were, and proceded to find new ways in which HE could make them for ME! This through a man's stomach thing is definitely cultural.

This is why 26% of black men, and 50% of black women are obese...and let's not talk about the just plain ole fat ones. We need to ask WHAT can you cook.....veggies, beans, rice, gluten free pasta? Please, I cook for me, and my little one's. When I was married, I cooked for me and the little one's, my ex just benefited because he was their. i am not trying to throw down for some grown azz man. Where do these stupid sayings come from....through the stomach....give me a break. Men, gotta job? Got some benefits? Pay your child support? See your children consistantly? Now those are some important questions. Can I cook? Nuna, cause I won't be cooking for you. ;))))

Too bad for you. :( That is the one thing that my Mom made sure of. She showed me and my sisters how to cook, but I was the only one interested in learning. Anyway.... that saying is soo true. My cooking for my man has gotten me a long way. My BF who is several years younger than me moved out of his his apartment and moved in with me and my kids, got me a car,and left all of his previous hood buggers alone for me. My cooking among OTHER things got me my man. So the ladies out there who can't cook need to step their game up.

OK. I get your point but I meant this blog being sexist sometimes not men asking women to cook (Please refer to first post.). Men and women should "cater" to each other. It would be nice to come home and have a nice home cook meal but in reality it will rarely happen if your a woman. Going the "extra mile" is not just cooking for that person its being there in general and riding for my man who is worth everything adn anything to me. TRJ I think you may be living in a fantasy world with that thing that "women should do for men". Thats not a requirement and if it is I feel sorry for the women you know. T

Well, I'm a man with my roots in the islands and we all know how to cook, very well actually. I like knowing that when I'm in between relationships, I dont have to wait for a meal, or order anything. Plus alot of women now adays just dont want to cook or do much of anything because they're too busy playing the game and seeing how much we as men are going to "compromise". Either way, I don't care, all American black women I've met want to cook is fried chicken and macaroni and cheese anyway, adding to my high cholesterol and messing with my lactose intolerance.

You can cook Ms. Acevero. You just have to expand your skill set. You already have the basics. A little tutelage and you are straight! I for one don't care that a woman can't cook. It is a learned skill that takes time. I have been cooking since I was 11. I actually prefer to cook because I enjoy it. It is a stress reliever to me. Different strokes for different folks! that is what I believe.

Look i DO NOT know how to cook...and im fine with that...i know how to feed myself, i can make salad, mac and cheese, how to bake, fry a chicken and steam vegetables but thats were it ends. I do not havve the patience nor drive to cook either and i dont see me learning anytime in the future. I wont be cooking for no and or making the effort to learn unless he is worth it and honestly not alot of men are. Not only that I was never really pushed to learn since my mother and father cooked equally and now that im in college and living in a dorm were am i supposed to learn?..i jus dont see myself cooking anything for these picky headed boys no time soon

theFEMALE — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 03:26:26 -0000

as an independent woman, i agree.
i dont believe its about sexism, at all.
as people we ALL gotta eat, so your better off knowing how to cook.

i personally like to cater to my man and cooking is just one of those things on that list.
i mean why not?

and question,
if you dont feel like going for the extra mile for that person,
why are you with them?

I don't think i could date a woman who couldn't cook. I'm not asking that she be able to qualify for a t.v. show, just don't be one of those chicks who burn water, and knows the menu to every restaurant in a five mile radius. I myself can cook so I find it very sexy to be able to prepare a meal with my woman or have a surprise dinner waiting on me (that doesn't lead to me finding a million takeout containers. . lol). No ones asking you ladies to step back into the 60's just can u please offer more than Roman (sp ?) noodles and cereal

I can cook ---- but back in the days women use to be home with the family and had time to cook robust meals.... 2009 - we work 10 hours a day. So guest what, dinner might be some boxed frozen something that you just add meat too.
On days off from work, planning is in effect.... You might get some jerk chicken, rice & peas, collard greens etc..... But don't expect that ish every day......
Take out - hey.... might be once or twice a week.... but it doesn't always have to be Chinese food.... you can pick up a salad or go to Publix for their rotisserie chicken.....
Any women can cook if they can read... we are to wired (i.e. FoodTV, Internet, cook book, etc) not to know how to get down in the kitchen

OK Xilla here you go with the Cooking business again. I have Southern and West Indian Roots. My parents are still together after 37 yrs of marriage. My mother can't cook to save her life, she attempts and fails. But, you know what?? My father eats it like it's the best thang since sliced bread. I love that about them. Me?? Yes I can cook b/c I've tried/failed/won in the kitchen. I've had to learn from my aunts/godmummy/selftaught.

But, why do men think that just b/c they sling the "D" good I should be Aunt Jemima'n it & Betty Crocker'n all the day long? C'mon life is hectic at times.

@Reese. I agree wholeheartedly. I wouldn't require my man to cook and he shouldn't require me to cook. I'll do it when I have the inspiration and/or the time. Right nowI'm single/work crazy hrs and am often home so late that cooking would be a waste b/c he'd a starved by then. So..... don't put pressure on a woman who can cook or doesn't know how. Why don't you show her how it's done and see if she has potential in the kitchen in. Sheeesh a sista can't be SupaWoman all the time.

it is not sexist its just the simple fact that women should know how to cook. i know how to cook. its just one of those things that women should do for their man. like when a man takes his lady out he is suppose to know where he is going to take her he is not suppose to ask "where you want to go", pay for everything, and not go half way or use the lame excuse "i forgot my wallet". some women will work with a man who falls short at these things but most will say he is not on his sh!t,so why should women be on their sh!t and know how to cook. its not like ima ask my girl "cook me something" everytime im hungry, but then again it would be nice to come home to a home cooked meal. men should know to cook but if a female doesnt there's a problem and if she doesnt know to cook how is she going to eat if she alone?

Eventhough I can cook....its still hilarious that women are the automatic cookers or supposed cookers of the house. Shit when I get home, I would love to smell those same 35 herbs and spices without the hassle of having to do it myself. Its good to cook for your man....but shit, this ain't a restaurant and I'm not Woofgang Puck, your personal chef...he can cook too...

That same path to a mans heart is the way to a lot of women's pussy....lol.

My moms, grandma and aunts taught me how to cook at a very young age and by the time I was eleven I had taken over my mamas kitchen. and every boyfriend I ever had I cooked for (I like to consider myself the girl who set the standard in that category, my very first bf still faves about my food & we were only 15). But I wasn't trying to get to a mans heart, i (as well as my siblings) was tiered of eating restaurant food when my moms worked late.

I don't see how a woman could not learn to cook, D@*$ at least do it for yourself

I'm curious to know WTF these 75% are eating....takeout? all the time? ugh

All women should know how to cook.....for "at the very least" THEMSELVES!!!

Then cooking for your man and/or your kids once you have them isn't a problem...

Takeout and drive thrus should be a once in a while treat because even with dollar menus that shyt gets expensive, not to mention unhealthy... grocery shopping and cooking is basic, cost effective survival
