Lol my goodness Prince. Maybe you are meeting women in the wrong places. To be honest guys really are just that simple. Always know you are worth wanting something special that puts a smile on your face. Even if it's a damn home cooked meal . The right woman for you will not only hear you out on this but will ask you what she can do as a bonus to make you smile. That'll be the woman for you. Hell even if she doesn't know how to cook, she can learn.
I don't think that's too much to ask at all.
I've had some long winded rants on this board about my exes inability to cook. It's been so bad that one of them burned EZ mac. And I've tried teaching them how to cook some things. How hard is it to toss some pasta in some boiling water and heating up some sauce with nothing else added? Apparently it's impossible when you're talking to a wall or a deer in headlights.
All my experiences makes me want to believe that my mother was the last woman who taught herself to cook from the ground up. Her first meal he attempted to make? Fried pork chops, and she burned them so badly it was like eating leather, but my dad and I ate them because we were hungry and it was on the table. She worked the craft and became a skilled cool over time too. Yup, she still mess up a meal sometimes, but the effort was really appreciated.
Except for saurkraut. I'll never eat saurkraut, ever. LOL

I LOVE cooking, and especially love experimenting and making up my own recipes. I will agree though that it's become a bit of a lost art. I make a damn good lobster and crab Mac and cheese, my own personal recipe

I taught both my sons how to cook.
Good thing too, because one of them currently has a girlfriend that can't even boil an egg, lol.
Rather then waiting around for some woman to always feed them I wanted them to be able to feed themselves

I always say that it's about the journey, not about the finished product. I like trying all kinds of different flavor and mixing some together. Some work, some don't. LOL
I make all kinds of amazing things in the kitchen. I taught myself how to make sangria a few months ago. It was a HUGE success with everyone who tried it. I've had to make it almost every week now.

I like that attitude. A for effort, C- for execution.

I was grilling when I was 14. From frozen chicken, to steak, to cutting up smoked sausage, green beans, corn, cutting an onion up with salt/pepper in a large tin and letting it cook for 2 hours. If I can't figure out how to do it on the stove, I'll do it on the grill and it'll taste great every time.
I really want a smoker though. I miss the smoking process and the flavor the smoke gives turkey and chicken and ribs. mmm.

Def good she tried and great you appreciated it. I never assume it is a woman's "role" to cook for a man , but it's something so simple that both sexes need to know that I couldn't imagine a woman not atleast trying for a man that she loved. Unless of course she had a hectic lifestyle.
When I was 23 years old believ it or not I didn't even know how to cook bacon. Wanna know when I learned? When I fell in love, lol. That particular ex appreciated a home cooked meal. I was happy to use him as my guinea pig to learn. We had only two conditions. He must always be truthful about how it tasted (so I could learn and compare what I thought could be better va what he thought), and he must stick through my beginning stages of terrible dishes. He went from eating meals that literally had him running to the bathroom-- to deciding whether or not he wanted a Ruth Chris steak or MY steak. I'm a mean cook in the kitchen now, finally at 27 years old. Like one poster said its all about the journey and most importantly appreciating the effort. Good for her (your ex) for sticking it out and trying.
