Saint	I'm the cook in my house, but my wife can cook but nothing against her, not a well. A lot of women today ether work, or didn't learn how. In this time of fast food they don't see a need to learn. Also its not their sole responsibility.The husband can help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sunny	I cook for my husband about 3 nights out of the week. He sometimes helps me in the kitchen or he will clean up afterwards. My husband cooks a couple of nights (he likes to grill and I love the time we spend on the patio while he grills). We usually go out Friday and Saturday nights. Sometimes he will say, "I know you're tired, why don't we go out or order out?" Sometimes we just have sandwiches, soup, or salad. The important thing is that we eat and spend time together.

tballmombabe	We have a cook he didn't marry me to be an servant.. The new pool boy i hired last week (he's 22 very muscular very hot) he looks delicious he don't know it yet but he is lunch..Yummy Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Armless Joe, Bipedal Foe	I love cooking, and do it when I have time. My wife and I get home around the same time, so we take turns. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mrs Dwkns	Well i can not speak for the rest of America but in my house we both have very demanding jobs so we take turns cooking for one another and on Sunday we cook together. To better answer your question, girls these days are not into the cooking thing. They are lazy and feel that they are on top of the world so they want someone to wait on them hand and foot. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Courtney K	For 1 - men can cook too!! and for 2 - life is much busier than it used to be, we are always coming and going. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cowboy_fan	Because women have to work to. Why dont are men ever cook a meal for us? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pinniethewooh	"What's wrong with you," you ask? I cook for my husband everyday. Most times he helps out. Every marriage is different and times do change the way people handle day-to-day routines. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jayden L	Because many women are becoming less experienced and skilled in the kitchen. Women are working, so they're too busy to cook at the end of the day. As for why gentlemen are constantly eating out, I doubt there are many women you could walk up to and say, "Hello, would you make dinner for me?" without getting an earfull. I, however, agree with you, it would be nice if there was more activity in the kitchen by the more feminine (not necessarily only women) of a couple. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

QT	I still cook meals daily. However, we do eat out occasionally. There are three meals a day, many single men eat out a lot, also lack of exercise can contribute to heart attacks and strokes. I have heard no proof that eating out causes cancer. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

friendlyadvice	There are many things to experience in life other than making or cooking a home-cooked meal. Both men and women are in the work force, putting in a long hours each day. The restaurants provide the service of a hot, multi-course meal without the time investment of shopping, preparing, and cooking. The choice of eating a healthy or not so healthy meal is up to the individual buying or preparing the meal. It is not the responsibility of women to choose a healthy lifestyle for their husbands or boyfriends. It is up to the men to choose this for themselves. Cancers and heart disease are not just the result of an unhealthy diet, but also the result of stressful, emotionally unbalanced attitudes to life's challenges. Each person chooses each day how to spend the minutes that they have. Some enjoy cooking. Some enjoy being in nature. Some enjoy fishing or a ride on their motorcycle. To each his own. Choose to do what brings you joy in life and allow others to do the same without your judgment. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Erin B	I am a young military housewife, and I cook my husband's dinner every night. Most people do not have that luxury. Women today have many more responsibilities than they used to. Most women have jobs, kids, household chores, and many more time consuming tasks that keep them from tending to their husbands. If I weren't a housewife, I can assure you that I wouldn't be cooking dinner every night. I simply wouldn't have the time or energy. There also is nothing wrong with a man cooking dinner for his wife occasionally I might add!!! Most women these days do just as much as their husbands, they need a break too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

GDAYFAN932	1. Some women work more then their husbands and dont have time. 2. Some women dont know how to cook!! or have time to learn. 3. Issue of equality...well if you wont cook forme why would i cook for you. 3. Some women are really bad cooks and they are saving their husbands from diareahaa Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Praire Crone	Times change and we all have to be flexible. I enjoy cooking, baking and gardening. So I cook for my soul mate alot. But do enjoy an occasional night out. I don't hold it against any woman who isn't into cooking, works hard and wants to just eat out when meal time comes around. I do wish people would be a bit more choosier about where they eat out though. Some of the food these places are serving are so high in fat and calories. It isn't healthy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

!~!~Edward~!~!	First of all it's not that women don't or won't cook for their husband's. The fact of the matter is that women play a big part in the workforce than ever before. They are not home like they used to be. Women have careers and are busier than ever. Who really wants to cook when they get home after a long day. Same goes for men. Fast food is convenient and can be relatively cheap. Are you a working girl? If you are than you would probably feel differently. My wife is a teacher but still manages to get a meal on the table at least 3 times a week. I put food on the table 2-3 times a week as well. Husbands need to play a role and make an effort at cooking as well. Share the responsibility. Every now then it is alright to go out. Hope this Helps! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sum4182girl	I cook for my baby! And he helps me sometimes, too. :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nuclearnads	I prefer to do the cooking because my wife is an awful cook. Although she does alright with the leftovers from things I have whipped up over the weekend. : ) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nicki B	It's called equality honey.....maybe you should look into it and come out of the dark ages!! It isn't only the woman's job to cook the meals for her family....you know, men can do it too! It's amazing that you think that once a man marries a woman, he ceases to be able to fend for himself. These "momma's boys" need to grow up and realize that being in a marriage is EQUAL! I'm not here to raise you....that should have already been done. This being said, I am a mother and in a committed live in relationship. We SHARE responsibilities....cooking, cleaning,etc! I cook sometimes, he cooks sometimes, sometimes my child cooks, and sometimes no one does and we go out! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LadyK	Well....I for one work. My husband arrives home before me by about two hours. I have a comute to my job, so I don't get home until about 6 at night. I cook some nights, but mostly he cooks in the evenings. Would men rather the women stay home, it sounds like a lot of you women stay home day after day. If I stayed home I wouldnt have anything else to do but cook. I think my husband is completely happy with me contributing a lot to our families finances, cleaning, taking care of our kids, giving him sex, and cooking a couple nights a week. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Switch	Damn I didnt know it bothered you that much...lol I get home at 5 and my husband is already home, so he just starts on his own. Or by the time I get home he is starving and just wants to eat out. I try to fit it in on the weekends though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

wish&dream	Ha ha, bcuz they dnt kno how 2 cook and they're lazy Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mafiosu	Because women work too and it is not written anywhere that the burden must always fall on us. In my home I cook and my husband cooks too. Fast food is killing Americans and my husband and I BOTH work to insure our family isn't included in the victims. Perhaps the fast food trend would change if EVERYONE, man and woman, took on the responsibilities at home. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Joe R.	Because certain people changed our culture decades ago. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

resa[:	Because they're all lazy asses and would rather just call up a pizza place and order instead of getting up and actually cooking up something.. then people wonder why america has such a fat population..go to europe you'll barley see and fat people because the women never order anything over there and the men are always working the fields so when the women cook up something they dont care if its good or bad they'll eat because they're too tired to go out and eat somewhere. hope that answers your question. (= Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ronin	Amen! What is wrong with women today. They don't take care of their men at all anymore. I wish I could find a nice girl to cook me dinner once in a while. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Beepsteroni	I agree and I am proud to say I cook dinner each night for my family and hard working husband. I guess with today's fast paced world lots of couples find it convenient to eat out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bailey8554	I don't know I cook everyday. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Creamer	It's not us. Most women couldn't cook their way out of a refugee camp. Besides, we'd rather have sex and eat take out than wait forever for dinner and have her complain that we don't appreciate it, go to bed angry, and NOT have sex with us. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

A.R.	I think there ARE a lot of women still cooking dinner for their husbands. I do it every night...but I don't work. Working women are tired too. They don't feel like coming home and cooking dinner and they shouldn't have to. I distinctly remember my father doing the majority of the cooking in our house since he was retired and my mother was still working. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

la buena bruja	Maybe it's because they're too busy working outside the home and trying to take care of all of the household chores, too. Are you advocating that men use women just for a free meal? Whoever is home first should cook dinner. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sabine É	I cook 2 meals a day for my husband. I make his dinner, and then pack up the leftovers, make a fresh salad, and add some snacks for his lunch the next day. I added it up and we spend $2.50 for each homemade meal. Fresh, healthy and inexpensive. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
