I noticed that the guys that I've been chatting with don't ask me if I know how to cook anymore. Just curious if they've finally accepted the fact that most girls dunno how to cook/ don't want to cook 🤣 or guys would rather cook themselves as a lot of guys know some basic cooking skills these days. Would love to hear yr thoughts on this.

It's not big issue but at least bare minimum. I am a lazy guy so I prefer one pot meals.

Dunno wor... U should ask my female friends abt that

There is this thing call 1 whole week meal prep.

If a girl is always constantly OT and not available, that is a red flag to me. Totally no no.

It tells me they priotise career above relationship and having a family.

Yes I have seen and talk to girls like that. I just see them one time to confirm my suspicion then move to the next girl. Give them chance to prove me wrong. Hear their side of the story.

I don't see anything wrong with that. Some girls just want to climb up the corporate ladder as fast as men do. However when girls do this, they're seen as not prioritising their rship. But when guys do this, they're being championed, getting all the big pats on their backs. Gotta love the double standards we have here.

5 days a week OT, some even worse 7 days a week, where got time for husband and kids?

Evsn me who is a workaholic, I tone down my working hours so that I got time for my girl because I know what is more important. Spending time vs chasing money.

How can girls not work harder when the cost of living keeps increasing and the guys they're dating keep insisting on 50-50? Not every man out there has a provider mindset, u know? When girls expect guys to pay then they're labelled as gold diggers pulak. Girls can never win, can they?
*
Find one with a provider mindset lo. It's never about looks or chemistry. I go for what personality the girl have.

I never expect my girl to pay when we goes out. But it's nice for her to pay once a while and yes I do pay most of the time.

You have no idea how long it took me to find one which lives frugally.

Easier said than done. If I give u 3 years, u also wouldn't be able to find a guy with a provider mindset for me especially in this kinda economy.

You are right. It took me almost 3 years (2 years +) to find someone able to live frugality. Able to come down to my world of living.

It's not about economy. Just be honest with the guy..Me and the girl I am seeing was being super open honest and upfront on what we want in our partner from the moment we met. No playing games, no trying to mind reading. Saves time, not romantic though. Romantic only comes after clearing out all the stuff we want from each other.

Stuff I told my girl, no yearly overseas holiday, I am on FIRE path so I want my girl to live frugally. No unnecessary spending. She is totally ok with it.

Why don't u try being honest with a guy? The moment they hear u're looking for a provider, they'll immediately assume u're a gold digger n run away. Sometimes I wonder if this is all caused by the girls who have been using them for free meals.
*
Do you want to date like 6 months to 1 year to know that he doesn't want to provide or would you rather get it over with on first date? I choose to get it out on first or second date.

He don't need to say it directly. You can ask what are your future plans and family? Ask do you mind if I work like donkey so that my future family have better life than me. See his response. If he can give you some plans then he is likely a provider. Then if he said nope he don't want a girl who works like a donkey, then next question you can ask them how can I make sure my family have better life than me if I don't work like a donkey.

This are just suggestion. Whether will work or not I don't know. It's very direct. Not everyone can be super direct. I learn how to be super direct thanks to my female friend. She told me don't waste each other time. Be direct and tell the guy or girl what you want. lol.

What's yr point in relation to what I said?

Aiyoh. It means most guys don't look at girls income while girls look at guys income lol before deciding for a relationship.

To be honest I look at the girl income but I am OK if the girl earns like half my pay as my investment are like bringing in 2-3x my monthly pay on a monthly basis. So not big issue for me if girl is not making much.

Financial issue is one of the cause of argument among couples. So if you and your partner can settle the finance part, it remove the main cause of conflict already.

That was how I approach relationships.

Well I wouldn't wanna be with men who don't like career minded women anyway. It really says a lot about them. I prefer men who would support my career n in return, I'd support his too. Back to the topic of cooking, I think the right scenario would be the couple doing meal preps TOGETHER during the weekends. It just shows both parties are willing to make the effort together.

Well I am going to be brutal honest with you. Men who wants a family will want a homey woman. If you are too focus on career you can lose your future man as what's the point he come back and there is no one for him and you only see each other on weekends.

You better be upfront about this to the men you are seeing that you will be a career oriented woman.

I think that home-cooked meals by a woman is a very feminine thing... And I am not a sexist to be saying so... I would enjoy a hearty low-carb meal being made...

I can cook (and I think that both soup-making and barbecue are my favourite thing to do), but I would definitely play the role of being the handyman around the house...
I am also in favour of Ramjade's opinion and my practice is the same with the FIRE path... Seeing that we are both active in the Stock Exchange & Finance section and trading/investing...

Honestly, after going through a tough life of working since the start of my adult years, facing politics and dealing with toxic folks from work before, I honestly do not want my wife to be working at all... But hey, I am all open if she wants to...

I can never understand why people like seeing and dealing with sour folks out there... I am not the type of person to want to deal with politics and see everyone else when I can focus on myself, my well-being, and my own money... But it's just my preference...  cool2.gif

If she can cook it's a bonus. If she cannot cook it's ok. But for me the man needs to be the provider.

I aim for FAT FIRE and I am bringing her along on it. Up to her if she wants to continue working. I know I don't want. Being FIRE especially FAT FIRE give you options to work or live off one income or totally stop working.

U mean you are going to pay for everything and give her an allowance if u marry? N also cook for her?

No la. Once I reach FAT FIRE she is welcome to not work if she wants to.

We are kinda of long distance. So if I go to her place we just cook together lo.

She is earning. So what allowance. I told her will help her to invest her money under her name as she doesn't know how to invest herself.

parisianskyI forgot to add can cook or cannot cook is not in my criteria list to make the girl my girlfriend or my future wife.

There are other more important things than cooking. But of course I would prefer someone who can do better than just frying egg, doing Maggie mee.
