Cooking, Cleaning, Neither, Both?

This topic was created in the Relationships forum by Chuckcem on Wednesday, August 16, 2017 and has 13 replies.
I haven't made a topic in a while, so this is inspired by a question @CaramelizedCoffee posed to me.

1. Which do you prefer doing (cooking, cleaning, neither, or both)?

2. Which do you want/expect your partner to do?

For me personally I cook all of the time (and have been told I do so rather well). So dating someone who also cooks is always great, especially if that person actually enjoys cooking. In which case, cooking is a shared interest.

That being said, if I dated someone who didn't cook, but liked cleaning, that would work well too. I clean, but don't like to do it. So that would be a fair trade.

So long as she isn't a slob I'm ok. being with someone who doesnt pick up after her self is meh

My father's side of the family was very old country and it was just unheard of to expect the man to cook or clean. I guess some of it rubbed off on me because I say both, not because I prefer it but it's because that's how it is.

Preference would be cooking.

If I cook I clean as I go.

My girlfriend cooks and I do the cleaning typically.
Same I clean as I go, so by the end of it, I barely have to clean at all. Makes it a loss less draining mentally. Also means I can enjoy my food in peace.
I don't really like to cook.

I'll clean up ONLY if you know how to (as i think

CapInc said), you clean as you go, or don't

make an ungodly mess.

If you do, then I'll boycott your cooking and you

can do the cleaning and cooking yourself.

I love cereal for dinner.

I like cooking more than cleaning but I do both.. i can't deal with slobs, they must be clean. They don't have to be spotlessly clean cuz I'm not.. I love a man that can cook, it's definitely a plus

Cooking because I love cooking

Cleaning coz I only trust myself with that part n also organizing stuff(I HAVE to clean stuff myself even after it's already been cleaned .. I'm

so like Monica Geller ?) Just leave the kitchen to me please ?

I lurvvv when men cook for me though. Or if we can both cook together... that'd be awesome.

I'd rather clean. I don't mind cleaning.
Well someone has to do the cooking and cleaning. Usually, that ain't me ???

1. Cooking

2. Enjoy what I cook

I like to do both... Been doing it since a little child. I had to pull back cause I was "handi-capping" my family. I had to teach them.

When I was young, I would have preferred cooking. Now, I prefer my spouse cleans. Cooking is risky, more difficult to correct errors. But, he does both. He prefers cleaning.

I would prefer whatever they do best. When I was dating, I saw some messes that made me scratch my head. When entertaing the future, maid service would have been necessary.

Interesting, I've never considered the risks of encountering erros while cooking.
Ideally either or.
