Do men who cant cook, really CAN'T cook or are too lazy to try?!
Answers:
I love this question!.
My hubby can't cook but I think it's because he purposely fails so that I will step in and cook the meal!. His idea of exotic is adding a can of V8 to everything and that stuff is salty! He's watched me cook, he's helped me cook, I've given tutorials and he even asks questions but once he's on his own, look out!. He thinks the stove is out to sabotage him and that the oven is inaccurate!. (trust me: there's an oven thermometer and it's exact)
Throughout history, women have been the ones to cook, but it's the men who become famous!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What I find interesting is that the majority of professional kitchens are run by men!. I am not knocking any of the kick-*** female line cooks I have worked with but the food and hospitality industry is predominately male in the kitchen!.
My point is this: You will be good at whatever you put effort into!. So most men that claim they cant cook probably really can't and are too lazy to really try and learn!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't know about that!.!.!. I told my boyfriend to make a pot of rice the other day using 4 cups of rice and 8 cups of water and he used the smallest pot I had and it turned out like a big ball--really gross!. I threw it out!.His idea of making dinner is goulash that no one will eat except him barely!. And his idea of cleaning up is borderline!.
I have one guy friend who eats out every day unless his sister cooks!. He's just lazy!.
Then there's my son (14) who makes breakfast for everyone on occasion, is an expert ramen noodle maker, makes his own sandwiches and helps with dinner!. Cleaning up as you go is another lesson we are working on!.
I think its all about how you are raised!. My son was raised by me and I am a single mom!. I started teaching him early how to cook for himself so he wouldn't starve waiting for me!. My boyfriend was raised with his mom doing all the cooking and didn't start cooking for himself until he was divorced!. Hence the disasterous rice and goulash!. My friend has never cooked for himself and never will!. His Mom doesn't even cook anymore!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think they just can't cook, because they have never had to!. mom always cooked for them, then girlfriend then wife!. I honestly think, that if a man is hungry enough and wants something cooked and has no one to cook it for him, he would either order it or try to experiment and cook it himself!. men are not going to go hungry!.

with my husband, it really is a lack of skill!. He can't even boil a hot dog-the last time he tried he forgot about it, walked away, and all the water boiled off and burned it!. Then once he tried making rice, and he ended up dropping the pan, trying to grab it, burning himself, and putting a scorch on the table!. I told him to stay out of the kitchen!. It's safer that way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Oooh!.!.!. I can answer this! My Fiance' really can't cook!. He tries often, but usually burns something, himself included!. He keeps trying over and over and I normally have gas mask and fire extinguisher on hand!. I don't think people who can't cook are lazy!. They just get that way after trying to much!. He's getting better and the foods he makes are less burnt, but I'm still there coaching him on how to make things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think it's both laziness and lack of skill!. As a single guy, it's a lot easier to buy frozen or go out to the local pizza place than it is to cook and clean up!. There could be a lack of skill if Mom basically did all their cooking for them growing up!. It's a skill anyone can pretty much learn though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I know some who really can't cook, but then I know women who really can't cook either!. It could be a bit of both!. I know a guy who used that as his pickup ploy!. The helpless guy act!. He could cook like a demon when he wanted to!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
my hubby can cook and he's pretty good at it, but he's terrible at multi tasking and it takes him a painfully long time to put a meal together!. usually i can cook in 1/2 the time, plus have most of the mess cleaned up!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
the reason why women typically cook better is because they have an interest in actually learning to do so!. my dad and my husband can both cook very well , simply cuz they took an interest in it!. there are women who cant cook too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I can cook what i need to eat mostly frozen foods and microwavables!. Its not that im lazy i probably could learn to cook i just dont want to im not interested in it!. My wife on the other hand loves it so it works out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It depends on the man!. My father thinks he can cook, but everything he makes is terrible!. My husband rarely cooks, but when he does he does a great job!.

There are men that really can't cook!. Probably because they had no interest in it!. We are all lazy sometimes and don't want to cook!. I know of some men that live on takeout only!. Because they never learned how to cook!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's intimidation! Anyone can cook, they just have to try!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Lazy i am afraid, as are women who cant cookWww@FoodAQ@Com
