Do you think it's a shame thing for a man to cook?

I have never thought it's a shame thing for a man to cook. Actually it's a very proud thing. My dad and husband can cook. When my mom and I have something else to do and can't cook, then they will be happy to do it. Here it's very normal. A woman can go to work outside and go home to cook, it's the same for a man. I have to say that sometimes men can cook better than women, but I don't know why.

I think it's better you will learn some cooking, otherwise later there will be a discussion about why today women don't know how to cook:) It'll be fair for a man and woman to cook.

No way, a man that can cook is uber sexy!! (so is a man that can clean by the way lol) its just reassuring to know that when you have had a hard day at work, your man has the ability to whip you up something tasty and totally make your evening!

well for me its not a shame to a man to cook its a plus factor if the man knows how to cook and knows how to do different household chores...actually my father is a good cook though he's not a chef...the man should be proud of especially if he knows how to cook different kinds of recipes :)

food - prepared by great hands, yummy
I'm very proud of my husband because he knows how to cook. He just don't depend on me when it comes to our food and I can rely on him. Much more happier if he do the laundry heheheh.

When I was growing up it was my father who cooked most of our meals. I never thought of it as a shame. He was the one who was home at the time so he did it. My fiancee cooks very little. He isn't that good of a cook but will cook a meal if I am not feeling well. I think that whoever is the most comfortable doing the cooking should be the one to cook no matter if they are male or female.

i dont think so. my dad is a very good cook. my family is running a canteen business and when we were just starting, my dad does all the cooking. we have lots of costumers that really like my father's cooking. my mom only knows basic dishes but its my dad who's very inovative and experimental in the kitchen. in so proud of him. my parter right now is also cooks yummy dishes. i love it when he cooks my favorite dishes.

No...I think it's great if a man can cook. My husband isn't a very good cook but it's nice to get a break from cooking once in a while...he can make pasta and sandwiches. :)

It doesn't matter whether he cooks well or not, the most important that he is willing to do it.

I dont think its shameful for a man to cook either. Theres nothing wrong in sharing responsibilities of the house together. And specially in this age of double income where both husband and wife are working the onus of cooking has to be shared.

That is really a good thing for the society as a whole because now the role of both are becoming equal so equality in everything should be establish! Most of the societies have still not understand such thing that now human beings have to uplift their beings for the next evolution and so that the old patterns should be ebolish completely!

You have a wise comment. A man can cook and do some housework, it shows that the society is improved. In fact woman has to experience the pregnancy and delivery, for this sake, man should be considerate and try to help woman in housework.

I have never doubt about man cooking in the kitchen. Men are the greatest cook in the world. Most if not all the 5 star hotels in the world are men chef. Actually women are only good for homecooked food.

No I dont think it is shameful for a man to cook. My husband sometimes helps with cooking or cooks the whole meal. He is a very good cook. He usually will cook on hid day off from work. When he is working I have dinner ready when he arrives home. I dont think he should have to cook on the days he works. I love taking care of him.

You are absolutely right. Men who can cook are much more attractive.
