guy cooking for girlI’ve only been proactively learning how to cook as of this year. I’ve cooked in the past but it’s only this year that I’ve taken it up with a fervor and really experimented with ingredients and dishes of all types.

In doing so, I’ve learned that it’s good for every guy to learn this trade. Here are some top reasons why every guy should learn how to cook. Some are pragmatic in nature and others are humorous. But they’re all true!

  1. It’s a good way to impress any girl. I think it’s still a consensus that most guys don’t know how to cook and it’s a woman’s job, or at least that’s how it’s perceived. Break the mode and stand out by learning how to cook.  If you’re single and just getting to know a girl, I’d say having 3 good dishes is good to have in your dating repertoire. In fact, there are many ways to incorporate this into your dating repertoire. It makes for good get-to-know-you conversation as well when both of you know how to cook. Or you can both have a date where both of you are cooking. Very romantic, fun, and great way to connect.
  2. It’s cheaper and you’ll save tons of money….especially in this economy.
  3. It’s a good connector and networking tool. If you like to socialize and entertain, then there isn’t a better skill to have than learning how to cook. Cooking and entertaining go hand in hand. Again, it’s been perceived a “female-thing” rather than a guy thing. If I had to move to a new city where I knew nobody, then I know that one of the quickest ways to make new friends is to invite people over for a dinner party. That’s a sure fire hit.
  4. It frees you from depending on a woman’s cooking. If you’re married or in a relationship, nothings worse than having your girl get angry at you and deciding not to cook for you. Learning to cook makes you self-reliant in this regards. Or better yet, if she’s not a good cook, then you’re better start learning real quickly, if you catch my drift.
  5. It’s healthier. Well, it can be depending on what you cook. But at least, you can control your diet easier by learning to cook healthy and controlling the amount of what you cook. Let’s face it; guys die earlier than woman do and that is partly due to what we eat. Cooking for yourself is alot better than going to Cheesecake Factory and having to finish those huge dishes they give you!
