I think I am a good cook. My bf's fav meal is like liver and onions (eww) I like italian food like pizza and breadsticks, lasagna, I like french fries and he hates this stuff. I don't think that he is normal. When I make a meal, he picks at it and when I ask him how it is he says its just okay. He said that he grew up on meat and potatoes and would eat steak and potatoes for lunch everyday if he could. I am sick of cooking for him, because I don't want to just eat what he likes all the time, I think he is spoiled and should try something different. How can I get him to stop being so damn picky!

If there is love, you can adjust.
Cook the food that you both can enjoy.
No man is perfect, he can be picky in food but to some aspect he is a good bf.

Girl, I hear you! I love Italian food-and my boyfriend grew up on his mothers southern cooking and also his father cooks really awesome food as well-i grew up eating out at nice restaurants and also i love italian, chinese, japanese, and mexican foods-he openly admits he does not like "those kinds of foods" because they are "girly and don't really fill me up". He constantly tells me how bad my cooking is and makes fun of me because when i am hungry I will eat some cereal or a peanut butter sandwich-he also tells me that whenever i cook something it is not as good as his cooking or his mothers-so you know what i did? I stopped cooking-he always says he will teach me but i really dont care-he can cook, he can eat mine, we can eat out, or we can not eat! I really don't care at this point! But like I said, i had enough of his comments and how i have weird tastes in food and how i will never measure up to his mother-so i flat out stopped! I think our guys should feel lucky at we at least made the effort-we are sorry it does not go over well with them or does not meet their picky standards-but anyway-maybe once you stop cooking he will get the picture-mine kind of did! Good Luck!

Stop babying him simple as that. I did that with my first husband and it was horrible. He only liked taco's and pizza. He only liked fried chicken if it was cut up in little tiny peices and coated with bread crumbs a very hard thing to do. He didn't like alot of things such as spices and onions and garlic so the food was bland. My advise is make something for dinner that you like ( you are the cook) if he does not like it then he can suffer. If he wants something special have him make it for both of you.

Well good luck with that.. 8 years later after marrying my picky guy, I have forgot how to make the good things I used to just whip together with whatever ingredients or spices I felt like.
And if I ever do make something different he does the same thing.. like its ok.. or looks at it and rolls his eyes..
Maybe you will stand firm and make him adjust. With me its been the other way around.
Do it for meeee!!!

Cook and serve the meal. He can either eat what you prepare of pour himself a bowl of cereal or make himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Don't cater to him. He's not a little kid.

Tell him if he does not like what you cook he can cook for himself. He can also go to the store with you and help. Otherwise sit down shut up and eat.

Try to get him to eat other things. Or make him cook it himself. Make him fix something sometime. My boyfriend is picky how his meal is made. Like how his steak or pork chops are made. And he was like hey make them. I said i will make them how i like em. If u don't like how they are cooked cook it your self... He tried it and liked it. SO just try to find something u both like and U cook it he might like it u never know.

He should be happy that you are cooking for him in the first place
So if he wants to be an a hole then stop cooking for him all together.

I agree with that, go on a strike. How rude of him! About time he started cooking for you too. He should be greatful that your cooking for him, & take what he's given I think.. Strike time

f him. find someone else that appreciates you. if not for your good cooking, but at least your effort.
i've had to eat some of the nasties stuff my wife made, but i had a smile on my face and told her how delicious it was. tell your bf to cook for himself or starve.
