I love to cook and bake, he likes to eat...so we are compatible.

When we were away at school I'd visit him on the weekends (different schools) and cook for him and his roommates.

I just don't like people that don't like food. My best girlfriends are all thin but they love to go out to restaurants and eat. Cooking at home not fun at all...but I learned how to over the years but if I never ate a homecooked meal again for the rest of my life I couldn't care less!!

I kind of feel that way about restaurants.

Maybe not the higher end places that my husband and I go to, but the tavern style places and steakhouses. I always leave their feeling like crappola.

I've never made a single meal in my life (have no idea how to cook and no interest to do so). Ditto with my husband. We eat a microwave dish or eat Cheerios for dinner. Food is unimportant to both of us and cooking is a waste of time in out opinion. I would never marry a man expecting me to cook for him. He can cook for himself or go get something at the store.
Wow.....Really.......Really. This is totally pathetic. Let's just say you would be out the door if you told me this foolishness. I know how to cook so it's only fair that my future misses knows her way around the kitchen as well. We take turns acting a fool in the kitchen. She doesn't have to be a Master Chef like my boy Chowhound but damn, she must at least be a decent cook.

I can't think of anything less appealing than eating Cheerios for dinner. That kind of crap went out the window once my age went into double digits.

Cooking is a very useful skill to have, but why would that be important for my gf? She is not my butler.

If you really truly love food, you have got to get into cooking at home. NOTHING tastes as good as a properly prepared home-cooked meal. I have eaten at some of the best restaurants on the planet and I still prefer to eat a freshly made meal in someone's home (especially my own!).

I felt the same way with my vegetarian ex and my "I only like white people food" ex.

Are we to assume that she'll be barefoot and pregnant, too? Because I have to say, that's going to play a big part in how I vote.

And which way would that be?
