It's not, trust me! There may be a few gluttons out there, but that's not what the majority cares about.

Just be sure to take it to the guy you like, or invite him over to your place.

Or else you're just cooking for yourself and giving yourself the

I don't care if she doesn't cook... perhaps we can cook together
first in the kitchen and later elsewhere.

From a purely mathematical standpoint, you're awake for roughly 16 hours a day, and the process/pleasure of eating takes up about 1 hour give or take. The other 15 hours are spent paying for or benefiting from what you ate in that 1 hour. I think 15 hours are more important than 1.
You know you can cook healthy food, right? A good cook will be able to replaced 'bad' ingredients (i.e. ground beef for ground turkey etc.) and make healthy meals that are delicious.

Besides, health and fitness has a LOT to do with the fuel you put in your body, and I think spending time together cooking is an excellent way to have fun and bond with a SO. It's not just about stuffing your face.

You're right, it's definitely better than eating out. I guess I was just thinking about the dessert/burger/pork chop aspect of it all. I cook for myself, but really basic stuff like baked chicken, salmon, brown rice, quinoa, hard boiled eggs.

That's it.

If he is busy then he is responsible and as the grandma of old used to tell young ladies, "the way to mans heart is through his stomach".

I have yet to hear of a man leaving his wife who is a good cook. It may have happened but I haven't heard of it yet and I guarantee if he did leave he regrets it.

I myself would put up with a naggin _ itch if she could make a good meatloaf along with gravy. Yea, yea can you pass the mashed potatoes?
Are you married?

Woman will have to do better than know how to cook considering I've been the cook in all my relationships to date.

That describes a lot of what my diet consists of...you can do some pretty amazing things with spices and ways of cooking. I make a pretty mean maple glazed salmon.
