How is it possible no single one of your girlfriends knows how to cook?

That means the issue is with the type of things that attract you in a woman, maybe you go for beauty and money without also considering homeliness.

coogar:

what else should a man go for if not beauty? homeliness is not necessary. as long as a woman loves a man, she would do everything to please him including self-training herself in the art of cooking.

chaircover: This sounds rather strange, that none of the girls that you go out with can cook.

All said and done; If you do find a lady that you like but her only negative is that she cant cook, but as you say, you can cook and if she is a lady ready to learn, then why dont you consider teaching her rather than trowing away an otherwise good relationship

Dont also forget that some people are better at cooking certain foods than others. For example my fried rice is super and people eat my fried rice and tell me to go and become a caterer, I laugh because up until now I avoid cooking ogbonna because I dont feel that confident cooking it. growing up we never cooked it and it was my husband who taught me how to cook it.

Polio:

Cooking Ogbonna?

Can you cook Adaobi or Awele then?

Then the man should reciprocate by bearing with the woman's lack of cooking if he loves her.

solomon111: I'm a chemical engineer,based in PH and i have a serious issue troubling me.
I don't want to sound conceited but the ladies i've dated can't cook and it's giving me serious cause for concern.
I'm a good cook myself,but unfortunately i don't have time as my job is so strenous that it sometimes requires me to shuttle between 3 states everyday and i get home too tired to even take off my clothes, let alone cook.
I had to break up with the last woman in my life due to this same issue.
She asked me to give her N50,000 to stuff my kitchen which i did and that was after bragging to me how good a cook she was.
Unfortunately,i was repeatedly disappointed by the poor meals she prepares and i had to call it quit.
I've dated quite a few other ladies before her,yet they were all the same and a number of them have actually landed me at my company hospital due to runny stomach.
The few times i get to travel to see my mother,i end up taking away much food which has led to her asking me questions about the the women in my life.
Infact,i reduced the frequency of my visits to avoid those questions she asks me.
Nowadays,i come back home from work late and very tired and i just go straight to bed hungry despite having a significantly- stuffed kitchen.
I'm frustrated and i'm thinking of asking my mum to get me a good,educated wife that can cook.
I'm not one to delegate such sensitive matters to parents,but then it seems i've no choice.
I've been advised to get a maid,but the thing is i just don't trust them with my food and i don't want to put myself in compromising situations that may dent my reputation.
I want to know if there're people who have been in the same situation with me and how they solved it.

also food can taste different to different people. I sometimes come across it at parties, where I may say a dish tastes nice and my husband may say it tastes horrible.

In short, look at the bigger picture. There is much more to a good woman than just cooking. Yes its important to be homely, but dont let the cooking alone cloud everything.

You are probably better off getting that maid, if you want to have good meals every day and Even if you get a girl friend who can cook, surely you cant expect her to sit in your house and cook for you everyday. She is not your wife & she will also have a life of her own.

yellowpawpaw: CC, did u say ogbonna? .
