Worthless since I'm undoubtedly the better cook
orr250mph 6y ago
My mom was a home ec teacher and made me get your behind over here and learn how to cook. So I'm a good cook and waay better than most of my GF's. I let em cook once then it's I'll do the cooking and you do the cleaning. This means I also buy the groceries and control the food budget, which is important.
wintertime94 6y ago
I decided to save some money by letting my cousin and her brother stay and she started cooking/cleaning the house without me giving a word. I realized how amazing it is to have a woman like that in the house.
Herdsengineers 6y ago
Think of it as a woman that values serving and nurturing you, and perceives an increase in her own SMV as a result of doing it. Women are natural nurturers, but these days the socially programmed to be different. They end up miserable as a result. If you find a woman comfortable being a nurturer in the face of today's message against it, consider yourself very lucky. There are precious few of them out there these days.
fdsafdasfdsafds 6y ago
I agree with your general message, but this largely depends on your location. If the pickings are slim you always have the ability to leave for greener pastures. Sadly, the disease is spreading across the globe so I doubt anywhere is untouched.

Then they catch oneitis...

TheRedPillRipper 6y ago
Can confirm. Current is an ace in the kitchen. Used to be a cook on a pearl boat and knows her way around the kitchen well. That said if cooking was the only thing she did well; she'd have been dropped years ago. Her incalculable value to me is how well she listens; and follows direction. There are no unicorns but if you train a horse well; there's little difference.
Godspeed and good luck!
beerbaron105 6y ago
Can also confirm.
Partner cooks, works full time, cleans the house. Has her emotional outbursts from time to time, which I promptly pull the leash on, but beyond that she is fantastic in a world of AWALT

reeeren 6y ago
Even then it's a biiig risk of her just falling into that other bad mindset later anyways. They don't stay

OSaraiva 6y ago
Meh, learn to cook. It is a godamn beautiful and useful art.
123InigoMontoya123 6y ago
I completely agree that everyone should at least know how to cook a healthy meal. However, I only wish there was a silver lining to the crumbling patriarchy insofar as women learning traditional male roles. It’s increasingly difficult to tackle “masculine duties” such as automobile maintenance, household repairs, and earning a salary ON TOP of cooking and cleaning.
Unfortunately, many of these traditional male skillsets are vanishing from mens’ repertoires as well, effectively rendering the former advantages of a man-woman team useless. I fear that Western society is going to find itself completely inept in just a generation.
All of this is why it’s critical for us to follow TRP principles and improve our skills in as many aspects as possible, indefinitely.
BitsAndBobs304 6y ago
I like to cook my own food, but I can never be bothered to make delicious foods with long cooking and preparing times such as lasagne ;(
fdsafdasfdsafds 6y ago
Cook something more appetising to the senses. I have the most fun in the kitchen when I'm cooking something which fills the air with aroma, where I can feel myself becoming more and more hungry the closer it is to being served.
i4mn30 6y ago
Learn to have patience and take time out for the important stuff, and cooking for yourself is important. Ofcourse it depends on whether you hold it important.
victi_vicimus 6y ago
Re: lasagna, you can make it in 50 minutes. About half of that time is waiting for it to finish. See this.
I like the Cook's Illustrated Cast Iron Sausage Lasagne even more. I've made it several times this year.
BitsAndBobs304 6y ago
Thanks for the recipe :) but 20 mins of cooking 1 thing plus a good amount of cleanup is a bit much, im lazy :P I wish I could cook a huge batch at once and freeze it, but not sure it'd work
p3n1x 6y ago
Then pay a fucking maid, don't try to replace your mom.
Stop being helpless.
BitsAndBobs304 6y ago
Replace my mom? Pay a maid? Why are you so butthurt and triggered ?
lpfield 6y ago
Is the end goal of eating a delicious lasagna not worth at least challenging yourself to try and do SOMETHING? ANYTHING? Would you rather STARVE? C'mon man
BitsAndBobs304 6y ago
Starve? What are you talking about..
lpfield 6y ago
From what I've experienced, TRP is all about primal human instincts
MyCarFlies69 6y ago
You nailed it RIGHT on the dot my fellow brother.
OSaraiva 6y ago
Sure. You won't be cooking for an hour everyday. I don't.
A good example is soup. To cook a nice vegetable soup it takes some time, plenty of ingredients and it is not worth the hassle to make a small pan. So i buy it outside, or eat out.
Wrehddit 6y ago
Just make a big pot all at once then. Freeze leftovers.
OSaraiva 6y ago
Nah, good soup around here in every restaurant. Rather have it freshly made.
p3n1x 6y ago
Proof you don't know anything about cooking. The best soups/stews are allowed to reach room temperature after "round one", then reheated. Being 24+ hours old many times.
Princess wants "fresh".
OSaraiva 6y ago
Hey Mr.Tryhard, i'm pretty sure i'm a better cook than you. And i like my soup fresh.
Deal with it.
p3n1x 6y ago
I didn't question your choice of food, I'm questioning your absolute lack of understanding of how a restaurant kitchen functions.
You don't even know how soup works.
OSaraiva 6y ago
Don't be retarded. You don't get points from trying to degrade someone else, and specially someone who obviously knows way more about cooking and restaurants than you.
[deleted]
rorrr 6y ago
Or learn to make money and go to whatever restaurant you want.
OSaraiva 6y ago
Two different things. Love both though.
p3n1x 6y ago
Any real man should know how to apply fire to fresh meat properly.
VaN__Darkholme 6y ago
Only a retard with no financial sense would eat at a restaurant every day.
rorrr 6y ago
Or somebody who makes enough money not to care. For the average person, I agree.
Stron2g 6y ago
almost all restaurants are severely short handing you in terms of food quality/value, even the ones that seem healthy
rorrr 6y ago
If you want to eat healthy, it's trivial to cook it yourself.
Stron2g 6y ago
Are you serious or trolling
rorrr 6y ago
You seriously don't know how to cook a healthy meal?
Stron2g 6y ago
Did you make a mistake in your previous comment? It says it's trivial to cook at home if you're trying to be healthy which is the exact opposite of reality. (Unless you're making some shit like homemade fried donuts)
rorrr 6y ago
Really? Buy some greens, some nuts, some meat or eggs, and you're already good. Fruits if you want a dessert. Don't drink sugary shit like sodas or fruit juice.
Add multivitamins if needed.
Boiled chicken plus a prepackaged salad is something even a complete lazy retard can do.
Stron2g 6y ago
Youre completely misunderstanding me.
I only cook for myself and eat plenty of pressure cooked vegetables and quality meat such as grass fed beef and pastured eggs. I would put a thousand dollars on it that i am well ahead of you in terms of nutrition/health knowledge.
Your previous comment says its trivial to cook for yourself when cooking for yourself is the greatest dietary thing you can do for your health. Your comment says that you are AGAINST cooking for yourself by calling it trivial (insignificant)
Btw protip fruit is garbage, it is too hybridized and sugary today. Nuts are also havens for phytates which decrease nutrient absorption furthermore they are insanely calorically dense. Also, salad is bad in general since it usually consists of raw vegetables. Raw vegetable fiber is very difficult for most humans today to digest because most have a lot of gut lining damage from things like gluten, antibiotics, and artificial chemicals. Always cook vegetables. The slightly decreased water vitamin content is tiny compared to the increased bioavailability of minerals.
rorrr 6y ago
1) I don't care.
2) I didn't say I was against cooking, you made that shit up.
3) You suck at reading. Eating at restaurants was a general comment about eating. But then you injected your narrative about healthy eating, to which I also replied. But your tiny brain can't comprehend that these are two different topics, and that it was you who drove the discussion is a different direction.
Sorry, I won't be replying to you anymore, you're too fucking dumb.
Whisper 6y ago
Anyone who cannot prepare food is not an adult.
Women who can cook are nice, but you have no excuse for not being able to do so yourself.
andreas-mgtow 6y ago
That's right. I place no value on women who can do basic things I can effortless do myself.
I'd take that slut that knows how to fuck vs. the-born-again-slut that now "cooks" and fucks like a starfish. In any case, neither for LTR or marrige, ever.
themanbat 6y ago
I don't know any single women my age who can cook. I beat the snot out of them all in the kitchen, and I'm not a good cook. It's pathetic.
ArtDeve 6y ago
Cooking is an art, a meditation. Don't ever let a chick take that away from you.
Men's historical inability to feed themselves has made them dependent and thereby controlled by women.
majani 6y ago
Plus doing things for yourself around the house kinda guilts a lot of women into contributing more. In their head their thinking "there he is being super productive while I'm here being a slob," and most times they end up taking over everything as I boot up my computer to check on my earnings or step into my home gym.
fuckGuilt 6y ago
Dad was literally told by his current wife that he can't keep coming over for dinner without going official with her. They've now been married 30 years.

throwlaca 6y ago
What do you mean "inability to feed themselves" how retarded you need to be to not be able to cook some piece of meat?
MelodyMyst 6y ago
Not necessarily retarded mostly just lazy. To directly answer your question, far too many.
the99percent1 6y ago
Men are hunters.. the hunter comes back with the meat. The women do the cooking.
bluesnsouls 6y ago
Most people don't know how to cook properly
throwlaca 6y ago
Step one: Put meat in fire.
Step two: eat
VaN__Darkholme 6y ago
Fuck man. Some people can't even make Ramen...
Adventurous_Bandit 6y ago

Cooking a meal with love is tough bro.
the99percent1 6y ago
I mastered cooking steaks and briskets on a charcoal bbq.
I tell you, there's nothing better to do for 2 hours.. from starting the fire and cooking the steaks, put some ketchup by the side and it's the best meal in the world..
AdeHMar 6y ago
You know the meat is absolute shit when you eat it with ketchup holy fuck.
swaite 6y ago
I will defend ketchup as the king of condiments until the day I die, but boy I tell you what, ketchup does not belong on steak or brisket, TF is wrong with you?
the99percent1 6y ago
Dip that steak in ketchup brah.

yato08 6y ago
This is why I love and respect my mama. True woman to the core.
NormalAndy 6y ago
We come from different angles. I’m all nutrition- she is much better at the other stuff. That’s fine by me.
swagswag1000 6y ago
true shit, i eat for macros and gym. doesn't taste good but does the job.
​
but my ex would cook tasty shit.
NormalAndy 6y ago
It all goes in the blender m8.
swagswag1000 6y ago
hahaha indeed. food is fuel, not flavor.
Swan_in_a_Cage 6y ago
I beg to differ. Its said in ayurveda that the degree you enjoy the food will determine how properly it digests.
NormalAndy 6y ago
Blended sludge goes down fast and digests like a wonderful blanket on my guts. Carrots and cabbage every morning for 15 years has transformed my terrible stomach problems and provides me with the fuel to work my 2 jobs, make time for my kids and keep myself sharp.
How’s THAT for enjoyment? I fucking love it...
Presentation and taste is fine but don’t let it get in the way of nutrition.There’s too many cookery programs on Tv for my liking m8 and as for nouvelle cuisine... Yelp!
Swan_in_a_Cage 6y ago
The sensual experience increases the bodies ability to assimilate nutrition. Taste isnt just pleasurable, it's an indicator to your body the food is worth digesting.
NormalAndy 6y ago
Ok thanks. I will still keep telling my kids to eat their greens every day anyway.
Swan_in_a_Cage 6y ago
If you stir fried your greens with spices and nuts, you'll have better results. Plain vegetables arent very palatable unless you have a taste for it, which kids dont.
[deleted]
russian_nigger 6y ago
both my grandmothers said don't be with a woman that can't cook because if she can't cook then she probably can't do many other things a normal person should be able to do. so far they were right.
gunx000 6y ago
A warning to you guys though, especially to the guys who will try to look for professional cooks to be their SO. Most kitchens tend to have a very masculine air around them. Most of the Women I worked with have very masculine tendencies (swearing, strong demeanor) Not to mention the drinking and partying that happens after workshifts. There are some good ones out there but just because she cooks, doesn't make her special.
Just a warning to you guys.
[deleted] 6y ago
Meh I live in Sydney city... it’s cheaper to eat out than it is to buy fresh ingredients for a nice meal and that’s not even factoring in the time involved.
lord_of_unicode 6y ago
While Sydney is pretty cheap to eat out, that’s definitely not true. I’d try Asian grocers for cheap fresh foods and ingredients.

This is your fault for poorly training your woman on how to make food in service of your goals.
Yes. Treat them like children and then cry when they don’t know better.
I didn’t read this article because its probably gay anyways.
fuckGuilt 6y ago
Dafuq?
That sounds an awful lot like moralizing language.
Also....yeah, the article is gay as fuck, a nothing but wistful tradcon hallucinations. And yet it's 85% upvoted, while me and the other dude saying "fuck that, take care of your own shit" are being downvoted.
Andrew54321 6y ago
I get it. Self reliant. That’s great. Its even better if you take that and build a system you can delegate tasks to. Like it ain’t fucking hard to print out a meal plan with recipes.
Moralizing? Only if its morally wrong to be stupid. You can decide.
fuckGuilt 6y ago
Funny how we're being downvoted, right? I mean, not that it matters, but talk about putting pussy on the pedestal.
fuckGuilt 6y ago
Now, that is male sexual strategy (although I prefer powerlifting to bodybuilding).
How the OP isn't a Rule Zero violation, I'll never know.
Seems like tradcon reminiscing masturbation to me.
SpinPlates 6y ago
Ridiculous. Learning to cook is one more way to remove women from your life.
