Is a woman who can't cook less attractive?

What is she can build a house, but can’t cook? Or send a rover to Mars—- but can’t cook? Or perform open-heart surgery, but can’t cook? Or just doesn’t want to learn how? I’m a woman who can cook, but I also don’t think it makes me more attractive. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Arguably, anyone who can do (insert x here) is more attractive than those who can't. I personally am no good at cooking, because I grew up with a maid who's always taken care of everything for me and the family. I'd like to think if someone were a decent person, they wouldn't judge a person's level of attraction based on their present incapability of doing something, but rather their willingness/openness to learn. I'd much rather be with someone who's patient with me as I slowly adopt a new skill versus a complete asshole that's already jumped to conclusions about my worthiness as a person. Foh with that shit.

if the same person in alternate universe was the same in every way except they could cook, then yea, the one in my universe who can't cook would be less attractive to me. I know how to cook well and have no problem cooking for someone but it's nice when that's reciprocated

You bet! Almost as unattractive as a man who can’t fix my car. The amount of men I’ve kicked out of bed because they couldn’t plumb in my shower is comparable to the amount of three course Tuesday night dinners I’ve prepared.

Anybody who can't is less attractive.

But what are you defining as ''cooking''? I count it as cooking if you're just sticking things in the oven and heating things up.

But if you mean cooking from scratch, yeah I can't cook.

Nah, isn't it a stereotype that women who do not cook are the most sexy ones? Though some guys seem to fancy mum-types as a stereotype, who do all the sexy cooking and baking in their kitchen with an apron showing a deep cleavage.

I don't think men care. As long as you're physically alluring to them the rest is negotiable.

no, but p much anyone that expects that food comes without helping with the dishes sure isn't

I couldn't care less if she cooks. I mean, it would be neat if she cooked for me, but it's not something I look for.

No offense, but only women whose bodies are made out of wads of iridescent silk shantung and fondant peonies are attractive. This is related to the question, 'cause if you are performing a task like cooking you obviously aren't made of wads of iridescent silk shantung and fondant peonies. How do I know? Because you have a skeleton and probably a brain that helps you remember to stir stuff. I don't make the rules

For me it's just a bonus, I don't mind if she can't cook because I can't either lol
