Should every girl cook?

I guess it depends on a few things really...in my life its always been me that does the cooking 90% of the time but thats because I'm a SAHM and I'm the one who knows how to cook LOL mind you my husband or one of the kids (they both knwo how to cook as well) will do the cooking if I'm having a bad day or just plain dont want to cook or of course if I'm away/out of town etc...Honestly, i think that EVERYONE should learn how to cook at least the basics ya know...I mean you dont have to become a gourmet chef but at least know how to boil pasta etc ya know...

I live in India, where it is expected from a woman to cook everyday even if she is well educated and working still she has to cook sometimes her husband may help her but the responsibility rests on her so she has to learn cooking or she has to keep a maid who does cooking if she really does not know cooking and she is working

yeah, i agree with you - what is a women is she can't cook?! I know some peoples will say that we are living in a modern era where girls can be not cooking too but it's how the girl should be described as a girl. In my country, woman is the one who supposed to cook and it is still like this even we are living in modern life too. I personally will happy when my spouse love what i have cooked for our meals and i love cooking as i feel enjoy to try a new recipe..

yes it is... women should know how to cook its there responsibility to serve there husband and kids

all women should learn to cook. do it for herself to gain more skills, for her kids to make them happy and full, for their husbands or bfs..coz the best way to get to a man's heart is his stomach. of coz even if one can cook, the question is whether it is good enough for eating haha. not all but most guys i know would prefer gals who can cook to have her as a wife... more like a prerequisite. i think it's reasonable enough coz the kitchen usually belongs to the women unless her husband is a chef or a avid cook :)

It's the same here in Turkey. But I think if the woman works the man should help her with the house work.

In my house cooks who is hungry... ahahahah... however generally I cook and if there is a woman and she doesn't want to cook I don't force her.

I love to cook (and yep, I do find it strange if other women can't cook, but that's because my mother and grandmother were both great cooks and I've cooked all my life), but I like to share this chore with my boyfriend, he's an excellent cook, a bit more meticulous than me.

With women spending as much time as men outside at work, I think that both of them should cook. There is no reason why men should not contribute. I love spoiling myself once in a while with a good meal and used to cook at times when I was in a relationship. If both cannot cook, they can resort to frozen food, which will be a pricey and unhealthy alternative at the same time.

well,as for my opinion,i think when you eget married , it is better that you know how to cook,in that way,you can treat your hubby to nice meal,compared to the fast food he eats in the office. there is no place for good food than at your home.i do cook for my hubby and it is a great feeling that he appreciates it.

what is a woman if she can't cook? a woman. simple as that. if they both can't cook, then they buy ready meals, takeaways, eat out or just have very basic meals. no gender is more predisposed to cooking than the other. in general. although most top chefs are men. so who knows, maybe men are more designed to cook than women are. I cook occasionally and I quite enjoy it if it's something that has my attention the full time. if it's something that has to simmer for a long time and be watched, then I usually get bored, wander off and it gets burnt. My stepdad is a fantastic cook, and he makes the best cakes ever.

For some stupid reason over here the attitude is still that women cook. However it really is'nt true. I cooked for years with my wife and kids. She can cook, she just hates it. Most of the women I know don't or can't cook. I think that because it is expected they don't do it. The guys, however can almost all cook and frequently do. However for the single guys food is not the motivation. Women, at least here, seem to like a guy that can cook them a great meal. I love to cook, am good at it even. It's the eating that I don't like.

I'm from Canada and it absolutely SHOCKS me that there is still the attitude out there that it is the job of the woman to cook for her husband even if she too works outside the home. I do realize, however, that there are still places where this is common. For me it makes me wonder why these very old ways of thinking are sticking around and I almost find it sexist. It is wonderful if the woman enjoys cooking. I do enjoy cooking and I love making nice meals for my boyfriend and he is always very appreciative. There are days when I come home from work and I am just too tired to make a meal so he cooks and he doesn't mind. When I was growing up my father was the one who did the cooking. He LOVES cooking and wants to open a restaurant one day. This suits my mother just fine because likes to bake but not cook. So Dad does dinner and Mom does dessert.

Cooking depends on a person's likes. Some women love to cook, but some don't. In our side of the road, Women should be the one cooking. It's a must to know how to cook. Because if you're a woman who knows how to cook, that would be a great asset. So in my point, I'm learning how to cook good. LOL. =) It's a big deal for me.

here in Italy there is much more freedom, in many family the man can help in cooking or cooking himself, only in the south of Italy they are more traditional and the woman has to prepare everything, but in the rest of Italy, also because both partners have to work, there is not alot of time, so part of the people go in fast food or restaurants at lunch and they have dinner at home just in the evening

My tradition does not allow men to do cooking for the house,Except on rear occassions.SO i think less of a woman that does not know how to cook.I believe that is one of woman beauty.

I know my partner would like me to cook every day but i don't enjoy cooking & rarely feel like doing it after spending the whole day taking care of our daughter. So, we share the cooking duties, some days i cook, other days he cooks. Things have changed a lot compared to what they used to be like - in the old days!

in our country, the more traditional ones expect the woman to cook, do household work, etc. with the husband going out to work, earning money. In modern households, it is not unusual to see the man cooking. Actually, it is a trend for men and women to enroll in cooking schools and some even learn to become chefs.

well not to be sexist or anything but i honestly would want a women who can cook, boviously if she cant cook i wouldnt not marry her or anything but this i would say is definatly a big plus sign. besides its cheaper if we can eat in than eat out :P so economically it is also good because i know my self i cant cook. so yes i admit its not the best things to think about but no one can say they want a girl who cant cook? if you can proce me wrong please go ahead, but like i said i can only see it as an advantage.

no. Every girl does not cook. cooking is a thing of interest. if she has no interest in cooking she can not cook. if she has interest she may cook.
