I would not let my girlfriends near the kitchen when and where I can help it. They are the kind that can barely not burn toast or over boil and egg. I do all the cooking for them and the kids in our relationship. The kitchen is mostly my domain however and they stay out of a lot of it
Physical activity is a big thing for us though. We do capoeira - BJJ - Running - Cycling - Swimming - and hill walking together. And we incorporate aspects of meditation and yoga into those 6 things too. So it is a big thing our relationship is built around. We keep each other on our toes and pushing limits and so forth.
They are things I would like. I cook a bit, but I think it'd be fun when both partners can actually cook together in the kitchen. Active is good as well since I am getting back into shape myself, and I think hiking, camping, is something I would like to do.
So I won't say not having either is a deal-breaker, but it's heavily preferred.
I appreciate him having some basic cooking skills, but I love cooking so it's more important that he appreciates my efforts (and knows not to suggest take-out unless I am incapacitated)
Physically active is moderately important. I like when a guy takes care of himself, but I haaaaate the gym so he'd have to be cool with me taking my bike out or hitting a yoga mat instead of tagging along at the gym.

Some basic cooking skills would be nice. I'm not the type who wants to go out to eat or get take out multiple times a week.
Physically active is moderately important. They don't need to be someone who goes to the gym 6 times a week but willing to do some sort of physical activity on the weekends would be nice. Although I tend to have the opposite problem. It seems like a lot of men in this area make it seem like they could compete at the Olympic level and they want a woman who can do the same
I would say it's pretty important. When she is at my place, I do most of the cooking and I mostly use healthy ingredients but I do like to use a lot of different spices. Not into bland food at all. So far I've had no complaints and mostly compliments. I do like to go out for dinner too though, so it evens out.
Physical activity is also important. We both go to the gym three or four times a week and I rarely drive and walk or bike a lot. Also, we both are going to participate in the Marine Corps marathon later in the year.
I don't care if he can cook or not. The less he can cook, the more he appreciates my meals
Physically active = important.
