You realize that learning how to cook is definitely more beneficial to yourself than to win over a girl's heart right? Like what everyone else says over here, it's a basic survival skill. What happens when your future wife is gone and you've got kids to take care of? Someone's gotta learn how to do the laundries and cook, no?

Probably that's why you get all the low quality uni chicks lol, or you get the ones that suck the money out of you. And from the sounds of it, you seem to be a very egotistical man. Ego is important to you and it seems like you can't lose any of that. Here's an honest opinion, learn how to cook. Even if you don't wanna cook for the girl now, you can cook for your future wife and let's be honest here, you can cook a good meal for yourself when no one is cooking for you; instead of spending money in a fancy restaurant that serves you expensive food made with cheap ingredients.

If cooking is pathetic, would buying flowers be pathetic too? If your answer is yes, chances are you won't be banging quality chicks either. Girls like guys who show their soft sides, it doesn't mean you need to be all soft, but it's just getting in touch with your feminine, vulnerable side. And I'm speaking of this from a psychological standpoint, it's proven. If a girl can't appreciate that, you're better off looking for one that does, seriously.

Real, genuine girls like sweet guys who do sweet stuff, including cooking so chances are that beta loser had more of her attention than you did yours. And not to boast or something, it's also the reason why girls get along with gay guys and secretly wish their gay friends were straight so they could marry them. And even then, gay guys are on so many levels, manlier than straight guys like you.
