My gf moved in with me and insists on cooking for us even though she's shit at cooking.
What should I do?
>>7498022
cuck her by getting your mom to move in with you and cook all your meals.
Tell her she's shit at cooking. Offer to help her learn and cook with her. You're too much of a bitch to tell her the truth though so I dunno kill yourself I guess.
Maybe help her with it and tech her to be a better cook? Cook together maybe?
What kind of human being would ask such a question?
>>7498023
>cuck
word means nothing anymore
>>7498022
Did you ever think you were the shit one at cooking? Maybe she just hates your cooking? Why don't you cook together?
>>7498023
Good one.
>>7498029
I've told her and I think it only made her more stubborn about doing it.
>>7498035
>Maybe help her with it and tech her to be a better cook? Cook together maybe?
She gets very upset when I try to instruct her or if she doesn't do something well, I think it's a matter of insecurity. Women tend to take such stuff personally much more than men.
>What kind of human being would ask such a question?
What's so horrible about my question?
She's a perfectly good gf so long as she stays out of the kitchen.
>>7498042
shut up cuck
>>7498049
>She gets very upset when I try to instruct her or if she doesn't do something well, I think it's a matter of insecurity. Women tend to take such stuff personally much more than men.
Maybe try helping her without telling her she sucks. People tend not to take that well.
The question isn't horrible but it just reeks of bad social skills.
>>7498052
>2016
>using "cuck" unironically
>>7498058
>Maybe try helping her without telling her she sucks. People tend not to take that well.
If she's doing something wrong and needs to do it differently there's no way around it.
She's still a student and tends to come home earlier than me. I used to come back and take the time to make a nice dinner for myself, enjoying both the process and the food.
Now I come back home to find dinner waiting for me which would be fine if it was any good, which it usually isn't. It also robs me of cooking myself which was a small pleasure in itself.
Also due to this arrangement we can't really cook together except on weekends.
>>7498049
>Women tend to take such stuff personally much more than men.
Consider if it has anything to do with your instructional style. Hopefully you haven't completely sensitized her to the topic to the point that taking the diplomatic route like >>7498058 suggested is impossible.
Anyway, I suggest cooking with her. And that might mean offering to help and only doing what she asks you without complaining even while watching her fuck other shit up. When you ask her to help you in the kitchen in turn you can ask her to help with tasks that build basic kitchen skills. Give a bit of instruction on doing it "the way you like" but don't be overbearing. What you're going for here is to teach her a few things without being condescending, and to either get her to try doing things differently based on watching you or even ask for advice on her own. Whatever you do, do not try to take over projects when she's cooking, she'll likely feel like you're patronizing her and if she does she'll be right.
This really pretty much boils down to "don't be a dick" though.
I've been married for 3 years and my wife can't cook for shit
Just do it yourself OP, if she starts complaining about your food being boring tell her to stfu and go buy pizza for yourself and don't share
Works for me
>>7498042
Did it ever, around here?
>>7498081
Sounds like your marriage is off to a great start.
Me and my girlfriend have been living together for two years and when we first moved out together she said the same thing about wanting to cook. Although I knew I was a better cook, I let her cook whenever she wanted to, knowing that she'd eventually get tired of it, or eventually realize, whenever I'd cook, that her cooking was obviously inferior to mine.
>>7498061
stay mad, cuck
man if these arseholes have wives and GFs why am I alone?
>not being able to tell her directly
that relationship aint gonna last anyway so why bother?
dunno how your gf works, but I told my mom her cooking sucks and she was kinda upset at first, but now we're cookbros
>>7498112
It is
>>7498109
During the final /pol/harbor with the cuckold fetish porn spam maybe. That was about it.
>>7498022
Be happy a woman loves you. I've been single 10 years, and cook myself amazing meals that I eat all alone. I'll trade you.
>>7498049
Well since you are on 4chan I will assume you have shit social skills so I will say this: people often object to an idea because of the tone in which it is presented.
Don't EVER tell her she is shit at cooking. Of course she is going to get defensive. What are you a damn moron?
One of the other niggers in this thread said to tell her "this is how I like it/like to do it" and that is exactly what you should do. She is obviously trying to buy into the domesticity meme so let her do that by showing her what you like (read: actually cooking well) so she can please you. It lets her save face too and she can think to herself "well I KNOW how to do this right but my dumbass bf likes it this way lol"
try that out and then come back if she is still stonewalling you
>>7498223
>try that out and then come back if she is still stonewalling you
She'll probably be stonewalling him because he fucked up by getting frustrated and tried to take over. Frankly if he's really as much better as he says, she probably knows. Being respectful and giving her a way to save face instead of just going "UR DOIN IT RONG GIV IT HERE" goes a long way.
I wasn't there so I can't say for sure that's what he's doing, but between her reaction and this being 4chan I think it's a good guess.
>>7498189
It was a rhetorical question, friend.
>>7498022
Let her cook a few times a week. Eventually she will learn and you both will be happy. Don't be too critical about her mistakes she wants to cook for you cause she luvs u which is qt.
>>7498135
When's the last time you asked a girl out?
>>7498022
Same here... and mines a raw vegan. Fuck my life.
Don't worry, I cuck her with cheeseburgers whenever she isn't around
>>7498022
Either teach her to cook or, if you suck at it as well, try to cook and learn together. Choose a good recipe source and everything will be fine.
>>7498049
It seems she is well into the "a women must cook for her man" shit.
Try to talk about your roles in the couple and make her understand that she is no less of a woman if she doesn't cook for her man.
Maybe engage her in more "man activities" with you.
>>7498381
>she is no less of a woman if she doesn't cook for her man
It does though.
>>7498066
You like cooking, tell her that sometime you just want to cook.
Also, cook together but as equals, not you teaching her. If she is insecure about fulfilling her role as a woman (cook for the man), she will definitely not accept being taught.
With time, she'll eventually improve.
>>7498390
Yeah but nobody is expecting her to, it is not her duty.
Without that pressure she may be more incline to accept not to cook, cook together and/or learn.
>>7498349
You're fucking doomed, dude.
>>7498022
tell her you'd like to cook at least a couple nights a week because it is something you find enjoyable and relaxing. when its your turn to cook, make something that she has made before, but just completely blow her away with how much better yours is. do it a few times and maybe she'll concede the cooking to you.
my wife has basically stopped cooking dinners even though she has a more flexible work schedule than me and is often home an hour or two before i am. she handles other chores and we eat dinner late because we both know its worth waiting for me to get home and make it. plus i find cooking a really nice way to wind down after work and she recognizes that.
>>7498022
give some examples of how she's shit at cooking.
>>7498042
stfu and fluff me you miserable cuck
>>7498259
If you're seeing that much consistency in your experience with women you're either working from a very small sample size, or the reactions have more to do with your behavior than to do with them being women.
>>7498022
Train that bitch until she gets it right.
>>7498022
Just come inside her repeatedly that should fix it.
>>7498022
Say that you like cooking, and try alternating cooking night for a few weeks, then cook together. The first few weeks will teach her that she's shit at cooking (or rather she'll realize it herself), and after that she'll be able to learn from you.
>>7498723
Or it could teach her that anon is shit at cooking and want to do it herself and then come here and make a thread about it.
Because often it isn't different skill, just different tastes.
>>7498618
This reminds me of my grandparents. The soup has a bit too much salt? My grandfather becomes stony faced and stops talking, and my grandmother goes neurotic over it for hours.
>>7498627
This.
This anon knows his shit.
>>7498263
Oh...
>>7498828
You bet the sex was great.
cooking with her sounds like it would be fun
my ex-gf literally thought I was a faggot for wanting to cook with her, but she also had a bunch of other dumb ass ideas on masculinity though and is dating a chad now so fuck her
wtf a baguette bag ?
>>7498022
In no way tell her that her food sucks, she will hate you. My girlfriend is so bad at cooking that i can't even hide it anymore, I can't even eat up a single plate because I get sick if I do.
Want an example?
Her vegan version of pancake batter is:
oatmeals, water, banana and cinnamon mixed in a blender until it becomes a greyish sludge. then she puts it in a nearly cold pan without oil, puts some lumps of that stuff in there and still manages to burn them.
the result is a dry, thick lump wich tastes like burnt oatmeal with a hint of banana.
She can tell by my face if it tastes bad and is always disappointed in me.
I really hope for you it's not that bad in your case because if it is there's no getting out.
>>7498223
This. People vastly underrate how important it is to let others save face when they're wrong.
Especially gfs/bfs.
Except, of course, if you've got great banter skillz.
Just be happy you have someone who cares about you enough to consistently cook for you. You may not enjoy her food but a lot of relations involve compromise.
If she's observant you may be able to teach her passively by cooking what you enjoy a couple times a week. A fair share of my cooking skills were picked up by watching people who I thought were better cooks than myself.
>>7498950
How do you fail a vegan pancakes? They're most of the way there by default.
>>7498950
What? Does she consider flour non-vegan?
>>7498390
I've never understood this. Women can't cook. I've never met a woman who can cook. Women of mine and my mother's generation don't cook because of feminism, women of my grandparents generation don't cook because they became addicted to the magical microwave or only ate canned food because they were getting german'd. Women can do all kinds of shit, but they can't cook. Unless you're brown.
>>7498601
Don't be silly. Real men know women are the Devil and basically incomprehensible.
>>7499650

Flour can explode anon. You shouldn't be eating explosives.
>>7498950
She might have an eating disorder.
No shit anon
Bite the bullet. Eat her cooking.
Remind her that a Nutribullet is not an actual bullet as well.
>gf is from amish country
>she calls me on my lunch break and says she's going to cook me some barbecue for dinner

>get home

>served with mashed potatoes that weren't boiled enough and had hard chunks in them
>i was obviously disappointed and she cried
I felt bad, but, c'mon son
>>7498022
I have the same problem except she doesn't want me to cook because her words 'I find it strange another man cooking for my son'
Bitch I paid for the food, rent and the gas your using to cook and you're telling me it's weird for me to cook for your son?
Get the fuck ouuta here
She's crazy in the sack though so I let it slide
>>7498022
the only correct response is to be honest and tell he she can't cook, but you'd be happy to help her learn to cook properly
>>7498022
Teach her how to cook?
Take a cooking class together.
That way you're doing something together, and someone else is making her feel bad about messing up.
>>7498022
Well, the only way she's going to get better at cooking is to keep practicing, so fucking let her cook. Also, try to show her (in a fun, nice way) new techniques and tips to make better food.
>>7499656
Patently untrue.
I come from a 100% white devil family and all the women in my family can cook and cook well. Family reunions are fucking CRAZY overflowing with awesome food. The only things the guys cooks is bbq, but that's so they can hang out outside and drink beer (and even then, it's the women who come out to tell them when to turn the meat or add more wood, or baste or whatever).
I think it depends more on where you grew up/where you live now, and what kind of people you hang around.
>>7499902
Yeah. Feminism '90s on doesn't even discourage domestic prowess. That's the '70s era bra burning type.
>>7499905
you're wrong but in a way you're right. Feminism as it is now is basically the same as it always was, just add the internet to make everyone suddenly at eachothers proverbial doorstep to soapbox on and suddenly it looks like an influx of idiots.
Honestly the men in my family seem to know how to cook, but when it comes to creativity we're the ones who have it down, not them. Men seem to be happy with campfire food and simpler meals. I've only seen women in charge of catering. Thats not a bad thing. I love campfire food just as well, and sometimes I'll cater for the sole purpose of making that specific kind of feel for the meal.
>>7498022
Cook with her & teach her how to cook good, if your not good at cooking both of you should be learning to cook. Simple as that. If you refuse to cook & her cooking is bad then step it up mang.
>>7499635
How the fuck are pancakes most of the way there, unless you think Bisquick + water is real pancakes.
>>7499926
No, you're wrong and that anon is very right. Second wave feminism viewed women who did anything domestic as traitors, basically. Now nobody cares. Have your Pinterest page where you share your delicious cupcake recipes.
>>7498022
OP is a baguette
>>7498190
No offense but to have been single for 10 years implies something. Are you really picky? Poor social skills? Anxiety about meeting people?
>>7498022
You can't do anything. This is one of the sacrifices of having a relationship
What should I do?

Married for 5. I compliment the things she cooks well, and offer suggestions on things cooked poorly.
She likes to make me happy, like a gf or a wife should. Just don't be rude, and be honest. This shit isn't rocket surgery.
>>7498022
Break up with her. Shit like this is is a hint at mental/social problems that are only going to get worse in time.
>>7501534
This
Don't forget to fuck her friends afterwards just for good measure
>>7501534
You're a fucking retard.
Some young women don't know how to cook, but they think it's their social role (it kinda is). They just need to learn.

>How the fuck are pancakes most of the way there, unless you think Bisquick + water is real pancakes.
In most pancake recipes the only animal product called for is milk sometimes you'll also see butter or an egg as well.
Milk can be substituted with any other liquid, even water. Butter can be subbed with any plant based fat. Egg is a completely optional ingredient.
>>7501940
Nah bro. If you want a good pancake the egg is not optional. You'd have to drown the bitch in syrup to eat it.
>>7498950
>she's the one that sucks at cooking and you somehow manage to be the disappointment
consider suicide
>>7498023
goddamnit topkek
the age old question needs the age old answer, op. you gotta cook FOR her, and you've got to SHOW her that you know what you're talking about. phase two is to slowly and subtly give her hints and just kind of push her in the right direction, while not being overbearing or highbrow about it. the trick is to slowly over time get her to see what is right and what is wrong, but it's like handling an egg (you like i worked food wordplay in there? i do), if you do it too roughly it'll fuckin crack and she won't want to take your shit any more. it's hard, man, especially when you LOVE being right as much as i do, but patience is key. cook WITH her, but be careful not to be the kitchen overlord.
godspeed OP
>>7498049
oh, wait i'm this guy >>7501963
and i didn't read
>it's a matter of insecurity
yeah you better drop that bitch bro, she's most likely crazy, and if she isn't, at the very least she's dumb. she doesn't have the capabilities to remove herself from a task and say "this is wrong because something is physically not right" she instead turns it all inwards and says "this is wrong because I'M SHIT AND I'LL NEVER BE SHIT". you don't want that lifelong OP, get out while you can
>>7498137
Is ur mum ur gf
>>7499743
Was she amish/former amish, or just from the area? Because most "amish country" is just like any other midwest shithole where people think you're uptight if you eat "weird food" (anything that didn't come from a can or in a tv dinner).
>>7498022
Easiest way to tell her is to take cooking classes together. That way it's not you teaching her but someone else. Passive aggressive but may spare some awkward conversation. Or watch YouTube videos of other people cooking.
>>7501945
Wrong. Flour, water, and salt is all you need for a good pancake.
>>7501531
I tried rocket surgery once and my brain exploded.
>>7498049
Then perhaps you should actually help her instead of mansplaining to her like a dick.
You're all a bunch of pussies. Man, he need to throw dat bitch out so she not all messin up his bitch ass food.
Start watching Good Eats around her. Even though some people hate on it, it's what got me going in the right direction to approach cooking. Don't suggest it that she watches it. Have her walk in on you watching it and it'll catch her attention.
>>7498022
I'd let her bag my baguette
Is this a meme now? Shut the fuck up.
Women are inferior cooks to men now. If you're good at it, we're going to compete with you unless you're just garbage.
If you actually think you're better. Sweetheart, just don't.
I really like/love you but I learned under-the-stove from my mother even before my profession. I mean, if you want to cook for me then that's cool but now you can't. Unless you can cook a fantastic pho you're fucked.
>>7498022
backhand her til she gets better
>>7504196
That's the thing, men are just way the fuck better at it in the west.
My brother-in-law's pho is fucking outstanding. Meanwhile my sister can fuck up top ramen.
What in the fuck? There's no "HURR NO COOKING" feminist shit. I mean women just suck at it.
>>7504261
There's no excuse for being garbage and a necessary skill. Cooking for somebody is a completely necessary skill the world-over.
>>7504261

When my brother-in-law made that pho I was like. How the fuck did he do it? How was that broth? what ingredients did you use man?
Then my sister went to sleep doing who the fuck knows what.
>>7504269
The dude is just my sister's boyfriend but that pho was so good that I want the recipe. Goddamn I'd die for it nearly. It made the ramen I had in Japan seem like stewed dog shit.
Unless you know what you are doing you're fucked.
You have to drop in this chick the greatest meal she's ever had.
With me it's my tonkotsu ramen or my brisket. You have to outclass her so badly with one meal that she realizes her food culture is shit.
If she's vegan then falafel.
Shame her in the kitchen until she learns to cook alongside you.
>>7498349
Sorry to tell you this but raw vegan just screams mental illness
>>7498022
>What should I do?
Train her. You have a willing chef slave at your disposal and you're complaining.
>>7498022
She can only get better? Give her some tips and hints. She can't be that shit.
