Some people kill me with their stereotypes of things men shouldn't do. Alot of people feel that if a guy knows how or likes to cook that it makes him less of a man since women have always been known to be the one in the household responsible for cooking since ancient times (well if you are a single man you don't have that luxury . LOL) . That's so ridiculous... alot of boxed/pre-packaged meals are so bad for you. I don't see how someone wouldn't get tired of eating them and eating fast food all the time. who on here knows how to cook and (gasp!!) actually enjoys cooking?

Re: Do you feel that if a guy knows how to cook that it makes him less "manly"?

Seriously, no way. That's one of the dumbest stereotypes I've ever heard. Absolutely nothing wrong with a guy knowing how to or liking to cook. If someone is saying liking to cook makes a guy less manly then I guess to them grilling is not a manly thing to do?Steelers : IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII

Re: Do you feel that if a guy knows how to cook that it makes him less "manly"?
Not at all. I really want to learn how to cook a large variety of meals and become a great cook. If I saw it as less manly, I probably wouldn't want to do all that.“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

I wish I could cook. I can make a mean Tony's pizza, but that's about it. But, to answer your question, no.Comment

I don't see how it makes you any less of a 'man.'
Cooking is a great skill to have and from my experience, it's a great way to impress the ladies.
Girls like guys who can cook.

Not at all.
If you live byself for a certain period of time, you would want to know how to cook. You wouldnt want to have to rely on eating fastfood or microwaving/ovening things all the time.
I can cook certain things. But if I had to, I could cook a meal for myself because Ive seen my family cook alot. I know how to season and start food. My thing would be not overcooking it.Last edited by illwill10; 03-10-2012, 01:38 PM.Comment

If being less manly means I can eat better, then so be it.
I had no idea this stereotype existed though.Too Old To Game Club

Re: Do you feel that if a guy knows how to cook that it makes him less "manly"?
No, because food is awesome. That, and as someone stated earlier, women LOVE guys who can cook.Comment

Re: Do you feel that if a guy knows how to cook that it makes him less "manly"?
Exactly.
I dont even like eating Fastfood that much. If I have the choice of either buying fastfood or going to a grocery store to get something, I would choose going to a grocery store. Mainly because the amount of money spent at a fastfood place, I could spend at a grocery store that will last longer.Comment

Re: Do you feel that if a guy knows how to cook that it makes him less "manly"?
Definitely not. I think it is more manly if you know how to cook. You'll get farther in life and will be more happy. I was blessed with two parents that knew how to cook. In fact, my dad is a better cook. He can make things without using directions on a box.
As stated earlier, this stereotype is long dead, at least in the US. I would also assume it's gone in Western Europe too. India? Mexico? African nations? Canada? (haha)
Then you have that thing where most restaurant cookers are men.Last edited by sydrogerdavid; 03-10-2012, 02:27 PM.Comment

Hell no, I wish I knew how to cook.
I have a friend that's a great cook and when he has gatherings at his place it's awesome cause you know you're in store for something good.

Re: Do you feel that if a guy knows how to cook that it makes him less "manly"?
Ahem,
If I may......
I could go on and on but I'll keep it simple. Women so dig guys that can cook.
Not only is not just manly, it also shows an artistic nature in a man. Already you have two traits women go crazy for.
Let me tell you, I had some my fun in my 20's. There was never a time when I didn't have...well, yeah.
Also, another thing to remember I'm a former US Marine. I never once felt I was being unmanly by learning to cook, in fact I knew it just added to my arsenal.
Plus, I get to use this,
But, Chef or just home-cook, you're more of man knowing how to cook because it shows you can be self sufficeint. And being self sufficeint is a mans true trait.

No, most of the best chefs in the world are men... Hell, watch Chopped for an example... ( Not saying they are the best chefs in the world... but they are pretty darn good, and 90% of the winners are men )
