Yes it would. I don't think cooking is a hard task but I just don't like the idea of doing this on a daily basis. I might maybe surprise a potencial bf with a dish every now and then (depending on the day and occasion) but that's about it.

Cooking on a daily basis would be a dream for me.
It's the shopping and prep work that put the kaibosh on it.

Don't care if I marry(ied) a cook or not (as it happens, my wife hates it) because I LOVE to cook.

I suppose you expect men to start giving birth too right?

Yes.
Because a biological imperative is the same as a life skill.

Cooking is an awesome skill that very few do really well. Most can get by, though, and that's a good thing.

The down-side with eating out is not only cost, but the fact that in the majority of cases you're not going to get quality food.

Sadly, in our busy society, few have time to make a healthy home-cooked meal - it's quite a luxury.

I can cook. I can cook simple things, I can cook some complicated things. I can bake, too. I've learned how to cook because I have a wide pallete of tastes and I don't want to spend $30 every time I want to sate it lol.
I like cooking. I think it is fun and relaxing...My ideal partner likes washing dishes.

lol part of the agreement that I have with my roommate that I wash dishes.

I don't like it, but I wash dishes because I want to cook and eat more than a few times a week

I'm female and I have never prepared a meal in my life. Nor has my husband ever had the remotest expectation of this. Any man that expects their woman to cook for them is either living in the deep south or in a time warp back to the Eisenhower years. If a man wants a hot meal, why aren't they preparing it themselves?
I prepare hot meals for my husband while he is out bringing home the bacon.

But I can't prepare lentils nor any type of recipe (nothing complicated). Not so long ago, I was trying to make an elaborated soup and it tasted like hot water with salt: really horribly. I think I'm at level 3 out of 10 seriously.

So basically if I were cooking, all my plates would be either simple or repeated. The only time I would be varying would be in breakfast (that's more easier). Is this really that imporant anyways? I'm still going to learn more about culinary arts in my career during the 3rd year but wouldn't like this to become my daily routine. I would rather have this as a type of part-time business where you're assisting customers in serving them well-known dishes and explain its history, background, etc. (I'm going to focus more on hotel, tourism and business management part).
I cannot tell you how many women have found the fact that I cook attractive (It seems like a silly thing for a man to get credit for; women cook all the time, and no one seems to even notice). When a man cooks, it signals to women he is an adult, can take of himself, and doesn't need a woman to look after him.
