Recently I was flying across the Americas, seated next to an American woman. She was 40 or so, blonde and thin – it was obvious she was attractive in her day, but Father Time and childlessness left her looking haggard and wearied. Between confessing to banging her way through the men of Cancun in bathroom stalls, and how her boyfriend dumped her because he refused to deal with her mother and is now dating a Colombian au-pair, she stated flatly, “I don’t cook. I’m too busy, I have a great career, I just have no time for it.”
Looking back, I’ve met plenty of these women. There was the insufferable Jewish princess who said, “I will not cook – I will have a great career in New York City and I will hire a nanny to cook meals for my children. There’s no need for me to learn how to cook.” Or you’ll be at a girl’s place, and after a vigorous bit of sex, you tramp off her to fridge for some food. Open the door, and you see… a jar of pickles, some Nutella, and a single, solitary Ball Park frank. You didn’t even know people actually ate that shit. Her refrigerator is a testament to her inability to love.
What A Woman’s Refusal To Cook Means
Cooking is not hard – making a healthful, tasty meal has never been easier. Between modern kitchen appliances, supermarkets, farmers’ markets, car ownership and the wealth of information on the internet, making your own meals is fairly simple. The only thing that cooking requires is the desire for something better, and the will to make it happen. This is what I hear when a woman says she does not cook:
“Everything that can be bought, should be bought.”
Now that she has a career and is earning some dough, she figures, why not spend some of it to make life a little easier. I’m pretty guilty of this myself – I’ve never changed the oil in my car, and I don’t even know how to change my tires. My mechanical know-how consists of manhandling little kids into letting me build their Lego sets. But it gets to the point where there is practically nothing she won’t outsource – cleaning her room, cutting her nails, ironing her clothes, and not least, cooking. Besides showering and maybe washing her own sheets, her job is the only time she’s not actually just consuming the fruit of someone else’s labor, in exchange for her cash. If you’re hoping for random acts of generosity from her, keep dreaming. Which leads into…
“I am too lazy to take care of my basic needs.”
She sees it as a sign of empowerment that she has outsourced one of man’s most basic activities. It would be like taking a dump, and then announcing to the world that you can’t be trusted to wipe your own ass. Why she takes pride in this, I don’t know. But, do know that she won’t hesitate to draft you as just another peon to make her life work. Doing nice things for you with any regularity will be foreign to her. After all, she’s not used to giving up her time to do things for others, except within the confines of her job. She will do anything for her boss, but make a slight request of her as her man, she will blow up and call you a misogynistic asshole. You’re basically as bad as one of those mythical Iranians who stone women to death for getting raped.
“I’m not your slave, I’m not cooking for you.”
You will have an easier time getting this girl to lick your asshole than you will getting her to prepare you a simple omelette. If I was already preparing some food, and I had a girl over and she asked to have some, I’d have no problem throwing in another couple eggs or slices of bacon. Flip the script, ask her to make you something, and suddenly you’ve turned back the clock to those dark days when uh, women didn’t get free birth control from the government, and couldn’t fuck around on their husband and expect to keep the kids. She actually will equate cooking for you with being your slave.
“I’m happy to make others provide for my every want.”
Instead of showing her gratitude to you by dazzling you with fresh food and clean laundry, she opts for a different setup for her dates with you. The formula: you show up, and you shell out for some mass-made experience that she can check off a list and crow to her friends about. You are a pawn in her perpetual competition with her frenemies, and a six-foot dildo there for her pleasure if you score. After all, she has grown up believing that the whole point of having a job is to get enough money so she doesn’t have to deal with pesky things like raising children – that’s what the illiterate Mexican nanny is for. And because you’re a man, you should be footing the bill for this conspicuous consumption.
“I can’t be bothered to take my health seriously.”
Healthy, satisfying, affordable – pick two. The only way to have all three is to cook your own meals. When a woman eats most of her meals out, she’s compromising somewhere. Usually, she’s eating food that she’s been brainwashed into thinking is good for you, like Yoplait and oatmeal cookies, food that’s actually stuffed with sugar, refined carbohydrates and oils cooked up in a chemistry lab. She’s always straddling the line between starving herself and getting fat, because her diet leaves room for nothing else. In a time when restaurants serve such fattening meals, the argument for cooking at home has never been stronger. Yet she can’t be bothered.
“I’m too busy to make you a priority”
She will tell you she just doesn’t have the time to cook. Yet she is constantly talking about how she must ‘catch up on’ sixteen episodes of Game of Thrones, as if it were an essential homework assignment. She’s a total phony. If you want to see this woman more than once a week, she may start to think you’re weak and needy, even if all you want is sex. And because she’s already watching so much media, she’ll look to you to take her out of her drudgery to a fancy restaurant for when you do meet.
To be fair, many of my criticisms of single women can be levied in equal measure against men. Currently, I’m not looking for intimate relationships with men, so their personal behavior doesn’t concern me as much. And for every point I made above, the woman who cooks merits the equal and opposite compliment.
With such obvious benefits to preparing your own meals, the fact that she doesn’t is disconcerting. Thankfully, there are women who do cook, and even for those that don’t, some are apt to change. I’ve known a few women who knew nothing about cooking when single, but became great cooks once married. Never bank on being able to change a girl of course, but keep an open mind; you may be surprised at how much you can influence a girl with the right guidance.

This article is spot on. It was funny, I was having dinner with my father earlier this week, and I asked him about this very topic, “women and cooking”. He shared my thoughts, which are, if a woman can’t cook, she isn’t worth your time for an LTR or certainly for marriage. Had my mother not cooked awesome food for my father during the courtship, I doubt I would have been born. So without “women in the kitchen”, I wouldn’t have the pleasure of gracing you all with this online post today.
Great moniker
Sadly in this day and age men are better cooks, both because they have to be (women dont ever learn) and because well we have to be (fitness and eating lean).
good stuff… perhaps if women took this argument with sex as well, then they could outsource fucking to the local Ukrainians in the brothel up the road, spend some of their wages on that for hubby and we’d all be happy…. (even the hookers would make more dough).
Anybody else want to face fuck that “I’m not your slave…” girl? She’d get it in the roughest form most def.
That goes for Selena Gomez too.
“She” appears to have an adams apple.
“She” appears to have an adams apple.
Damn…this is a consequence of an “I’m entitled to anything I want” mentality…This is particularly why men must become self-sufficient in the kitchen…learn how to cook, moreso for yourself than for anyone else. A woman who tells me she doesn’t cook can bet that she is just a pump-and-dump…
It doesn’t surprise me anymore. Western women don’t know or refuse to learn how to cook thinking it’s like a badge of honor. Actually, if a woman doesn’t know how to cook, she isn’t worth my time–at least for the long term. A couple of years ago when I lived in Slovakia, my Slovak girl who was tall, slim and attractive used to make me stuff to eat all the time. She liked doing it and used to make me lattes in the morning. She would top off the latte by spelling my name in caramel adding little hearts to it, and brought it to me with a smile on her face. See if women from english speaking countries do that!
Wow man! A woman never did that to me. If one of them do something similar, I would bang her like no tomorrow for sure, grabbing her hair, slapping her… all a women deserve.
Gosh! I need to find a cute like that.

EE women adore to show off their cooking skills. Most EE families don’t afford to go daily to restaurant or eat junk food, they only occasionally go to restaurants to have dinner or when they have a special occasion, so EE women do all the home cooking and housekeeping, they eat all the meals in the family.
Wavmaster, you were surprised, but she was raised learning how to cook and taking care of her man. It’s normal for her. You want American women to cook? Then raise your daughters with gender roles.

I am European women i am very good cook and mom i enjoyed cooking and cleaning. My husband always say that he is very lucky to have me
If a woman can’t cook… sorry… She only can achieve fuck buddy status with me. I want my women to cook food for me.
I agree wholeheartedly but I prefer articles on
how to turn things around.
“The formula: you show up, and you shell out for some mass-made experience that she can check off a list and crow to her friends about. You are a pawn in her perpetual competition with her frenemies, and a six-foot dildo there for her pleasure if you score.”
That my friends, if you have ever dabbled in online dating is what we are reduced to:
Entertainment. Motherfucking jesters that do all of the relationship heavy lifting.
Majority of these cows don’t even care to write a decent introduction of themselves.
But we are the immoral sex though……………
True dat, if a girl won’t cook or doesn’t want to learn to cook for you, she isn’t worth your time. I genuinely love to cook so do it the majority of the time with the current ltr, but she is genuinely trying to learn (still in college) and makes sure to invite me over to feed me the latest recipe she is learning. I know she will never be as good as me, but the fact that she wants to feed me and bring me pleasure is what matters.
A woman proudly saying “I don’t cook,” regardless of how hot she is, should be a conversation stopper. Remember, your attention is very valuable to women. If she says she doesn’t cook, then she’s not worth any of your valuable attention. Just turn on your heals and walk away.
If a woman doesn’t feel like she has to cook you, do you think she will feel the need to feed and take care of your kids? Get ready for Friday night dinners at the cheesecake factory and the perpetual spiral of the obesity epidemic to continue.
Great point. I’m so far from fathering children (as far as I know…) that I neglected to consider this angle. As you say, when a woman does not cook, the implications for her fitness as a mother is grim indeed. When a woman does not cook, it is only a matter of time until she gets fat. Impregnate her, and your progeny will be marred by gluttony.
This is a big deal for men who want to be fathers. You have to be able to trust the future mother of your children to feed them healthy food or keep food in their bellies… and not be so goddamn selfish with their time and effort.
just throwing it out there. Iran doesnt stone rape victims but those that commit adultry. they hung one pedophile and shot another. taliban controlled aghanistanis crazy
Corrected, thanks. Added ‘mythical’ before Iranians.
My wife cooks and it’s one thing I love her for. She takes care of me and my daugthers by cooking for us. she has her recipe book but likes to try new things too. I think it’s great. We almost never eat out. I caught myself a good one. Well, at least when it comes to cooking, haha
I shared some ancient wisdom with my sons:
Looks fade.
Passion cools.
Cooking…LASTS!
Great advice
I think it’s more important that she knows how to clean a house/dishes/clothing. I feel cooking is like fucking. It’s too important and nuanced to leave in the hands of a woman. This is why the top chef’s of the world are all men.
It’s why 8 of the 10 winners of Top Chef were men as well.
“Cooking is like fucking. It’s too important and nuanced to leave in the hands of a woman.”
So you fuck guys then? No judgement, just clarifying.
Hilarious! I’d say that about half of the women I date don’t cook and don’t even give me a coffee in the morning. A quarter will cook but do it begrudgingly, and a quarter will have “wife skills”. The weird thing is that, in my observation, it’s the ugliest chicks that are at the extreme two ends of the spectrum.
By the way, I don’t think you need to refrigerate Nutella.
i’ve been an ace in the kitchen since i 7 and made my first omlete. i have NEVER had a woman not related to me cook for me. NONE have ever even known basic kitchen skills.
in return, i treat my cooking the way a woman treats her vag. i WILL.NOT cook for any woman i don’t see naked on a frequent basis. when a woman mentions when i’ll be cooking for her i always reply, “we’re cool, but we ain’t fucking.”
the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach 🙂
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again : A man wants a wife, not a co-worker.
If she can’t cook like this or is unwilling to learn, you will be preparing most if the meals in your relationship or eating micro-wave garbage :

I am 32 and no woman outside my family in America has ever cooked me a meal. Always takeout or something. Not once, aside from one birthday cake made from scratch by a friends girlfriend who was foreign. I don’t even know how I would react in EE or Asia. The concept is just too foreign to me that I have a hard time imagining having what Uncle Elmer has – a girl who cooks actual meals for me. I guess you can only beat a dog so much.
that’s sad. I wonder if American women will come in EE and confront EE men, who will change: them or they?
Traditionally men in the US have cooked the part of the meal that would be hunted and butchered. Which is why in the US men are outside with a grill cooking the most expensive, highest value part of the meal. While women are inside, safe and sheltered from the elements, cooking low value side dishes of vegetables and grains.
yup. I can attest to this.
Women who can’t put forth the effort to cook are also lousy lays.
Cooking and great sex take effort, preparation, and a bit of creativity now and again. To lazy boring sluts cooking and fucking are nothing more than eating and friction.
Frog: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”.
(female) Scorpion: “I’m not aiming that high”.
If you go on foodwishes and click on the stats for certain videos, the most viewed recipes by men are savory, hearty, and difficult to make ones. The ones most viewed by women all involve chocolate, sugar, or dairy. God Bless America
Eh, don’t think it’s any better outside of America. I’m in China and it’s quite rare to find a woman under 30 who can cook anything more than instant noodles or egg-and-tomato soup. From what I remember Japan was like this as well.
Dude, where are you finding your girls, Roppingi? Learn to speak Japanese, nearly all of them can cook.
A person that doesn’t want to cook, is simply too lazy to do it. Big warning sign, they won’t take care of themselves in the long-run. They also won’t take care of you in the long-run. Believe one of the ways a woman demonstrates love for her family husband is to prepare healthy food for them. If a woman loves a man why would she let him eat slop, unless she wants him to die sooner rather than later. The only part that was somewhat off, most married women with children are some of the most out of shape & sloppy women on the planet. The woman you sat beside was a hag but most thin women in their 40’s aren’t saddled down with kids.
it’s really sad. even my little sister took the “i’ll marry a man with money and hire a cook”. then she got married to a dude with 2 boys and learned a harsh lesson.
she cooks now. lol.
The ‘love of my life’ for seven years was unable to cook, clean, or satisfy me sexually. It’s a monument to the ability to modern society to indoctrinate men that I thought this was acceptable at the time.
Like “Oh, of course. She’s a modern woman and has no obligation to know how to cook, clean, or suck dick. All she has to do is quote The Simpsons at the right time and she’ll be a catch.”
I would say I was a fool, and I was, but I wasn’t the only fool. Thankfully I dodged that bullet.
Hey, don’t knock a good Simpson’s quote! Plus you can quote the Simpson’s in polite company. Cock sucking, not so much.
Still, i’m sorry to hear about your years in the wilderness. Everyone deserves a give and take from their partner.
Hahahhaha
Just the title itself ticks off feminists
So lemme play devil’s advocate: so fuckin what the broad doesn’t cook. Do you cook? You already said you can’t change your own oil and outsource a lot of tasks. One of my biggest issues with American women is that if I cook, bring in income, stay in shape, and kick ass in bed, is she bringing the same thing to the table? So how can you hold women to a standard you don’t seem to adhere to yourself?
To be clear, men aren’t (or shouldn’t agree to be) obligated to sing and dance for a woman’s attention. No big spending, no jumping through hoops. But if you want a woman to be self-sufficient, stay hot, and cook for you, are YOU bringing something comparable to the table?
I cook, a lot.
Nice one.
Also you’re attributing beliefs to me that I never asserted – I never said women should be self sufficient. If a woman were self-sufficient, what need would she have for a man?
Really? It just blows your mind that women might simply “want” to be with a man, and perhaps “enjoy” for it’s own sake? Your lack of self esteem is showing here. And seriously, learn to change a tire. No excuse for that.
Sucks that Western Culture has destroyed the traditional gender role to such level, even my current FWB (Non-western background) cooks for me regularly, which is great since western girls I dated/pumped and dumped in the past were just as what’s been described in this article
Funny how I don’t see any guys in here admitting they’d rather have a girl lick their asshole than have her make them an omelette.
Yeah, sorry dude, I only read this today but I’m here! you can see my comment above. I would totally trade butt-licking for omelette making! 🙂
Makes total sense to me, can’t understand why the rest find it hard to admit!
I want a woman to be able to cook. Not so much for me, since I’ve lived alone forever an am used to fending for myself, but to know she has a sense of craft and independence, and a lazy dependence on fast food.
*not* a lazy dependence on fast food.
What if you’re a girl who’s dating a professionally trained chef? I usually cook for myself, but I hardly ever get the chance to cook for him. When I’m at his place he cooks pretty elaborate meals. When he’s at my place he takes over when I try to cook for us. Makes me feel a bit inadequate. A couple of times I managed to prepare a meal before he arrived at my place, and he gushed about how good it was. But.. I self consciously imagined he was secretly thinking it sucked. Anything besides cooking and licking his asshole I could do? (ps do guys really like their assholes licked?)
“Healthy, satisfying, affordable – pick two”
-> I like this line!
How about this one?
Cute – sexy – can cook -> pick two
What would you choose?
You wrote, “You will have an easier time getting this girl to lick your asshole than you will getting her to prepare you a simple omelette. ”
What if I like receiving analingus and making omelets? I’d happily trade one for the other. Sounds like a win win to me. 🙂

Also, I appreciate the rant, but seriously, you can’t change a tire? Can we suspend this guy’s man cred until he figures this out? You know, if you ever have to call AAA on a date, you may still get the pussy that night, but in her mind she’ll be riding Tom’s turgid tow truck of love.
Seriously dude, learn to change a tire. Such incompetence is inexcusable. I can’t believe you even admitted that.
I’m a girl, I had to change a tire so I learned how to do it, in maybe 10 minutes.. I didn’t even read that sentence, this is truly ridiculous.
He specifically states that he can’t judge before he can’t change a tire. All you can see is the hypocrisy and not actually what he’s saying.
This way the other way also. If your cooking skills are marvelous, you can impress a girl who likes cooking a lot. Naturally you will filter out the dumb bitches who don’t value cooking. As said before, men have to learn how to cook and how different nutrients work in your body (fitness/bodybuilding reasons for example), so it is a double win if you and your girl know how to cook.
damn. on point. this sounds just like my ex-girlfriend. i’ve come to feel a mixture of pity and disgust for women like these.
chiming in again; it’s crazy how accurate this description is. my ex was a solid 8.5, but incredibly lazy and slovenly. i became an utter simp for her and it isn’t until afterward that i realize that she wasn’t worth a damn.
i can’t say i regret the time spent with her–the lessons i’ve learned from this site were all reinforced and entirely proven by my experience in that relationship. cheers to a fantastic post.
i take my time cooking meat lol yesterday, it took me 3 hours to make some chicken and it was some damn good chicken
lazy ass women
It would be nice if instead of insisting a woman cooks every day for her man, that roles were reversed and man would cook every day for her. In that sense, I am sick to death of men demanding I cook for them when they do nothing at all for me. They don’t pay me for my time or give me any reason to cook for them other than “but you love me, don’t you”?. I work a day job too! Hence I don’t cook for them, only for myself. They can’t even be bothered to take a dirty cup to the kitchen, let alone prepare something for me or god forbid, do the dishes. Your article says you don’t understand anything about women at all. They are allowed to have a life that doesn’t involve slavery and should be compensated in some form, for their time.
Where are you meeting these guys?
Haha. I cook like a world famous chef but I would date one of you losers if you had a billion dollars in the bank.
