Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Would you be in a romantic relationship with someone who couldn't cook?

I personally couldn't be with someone who isn't able to cook. (Using premade sauces don't count)

i can't cook, so that would be a problem...

not a fatal problem, though, just something we'd have to work around. not exactly a big deal.

Yes. I pretty much live off of snacks and takeaways anyway :colondollar:

Why don't you learn? It's not hard to cut an onion...

It wouldn't be a huge factor for me because I love cooking anyway, but I just don't get how people can't do it.

I'd teach her. I wouldn't date anyone snobby who looked down on someone for not being able to though.

I like teaching and I like cooking. If anything it would be fun, surely? Some people have no imagination :tongue:

It's not an important thing to me in the slightest that my partner in any way be some master chef.

I don't mind if they're a shite cook. But I'd be a bit annoyed if they were always saying that "can't cook" and don't even try/ expect to be waited on.

Exactly! Most people can cook SOME things anyway, and like with most things practice makes perfect. Certainly wouldn't put me off someone.

I try not to date anyone who ever said the words 'I can't' - You bloody well can, I don't care how ridiculous your proposal is, you can at least try.

Yeah, when we're talking about a basic life skill "I can't" is just a complete lie barring any disabilities that literally prevent them from doing it.

It's not that they can't, they won't.

I enjoy cooking too. I don't understand either. It's not hard to make basic dishes like scrambled egg.

The reason why I couldn't be with someone who isn't able to cook is because I don't want to be responsible for feeding someone who is should be able to feed themselves. Cooking is a life skill.
