Answer 1

I am an alcoholic! There I said it.

Answer 2

No, it's not so horrible that you don't know how to cook! It shouldn't make you feel inadequate, but if it does then do something about it! Take lessons, buy recipes or cookbooks, and ask other people you know their secrets. It's not all about you making a guy happy because you can cook, it also betters yourself as a person because then you will feel more self sufficient. Plus, you'd have a lot more money in your pocket because cooking your own food at home is way cheaper than take out, especially over time.

Answer 3

For starters change your name!! You aint doing your self any favours and won't begin to with a name like 'Depressed'!!! Second, if every one was great at every thing the world would be a very dull and boring place, don't you think? You may be inadequate at cooking, but I bet you are good at other things that some people are inadequate!!! Use these to your advantage and work at the cooking!!!!! Practice makes perfect. I used to be totally awful at cooking a good home made meal. It took me five years or more to master how to cook a roast chicken dinner and its one of the easiest meals to make!!! It now happens to be one of my family's favourite meals. Good luck and Bon Appetite!!!x

Answer 4

I love cooking and have actually signed up for a cookery course to get even better!
No I would not feel inadequate if I could not cook as I have many other good qualities!

Answer 5

You should not feel inadequate because you can't cook. Have you considered taking cooking classes? Also, watch the cooking network. You can buy c.d's that show you how to cook. Also, ask you mother. Cooking is easy.

Answer 6

Rather than feel inadequate, I'd say it was an indictment of your education, which left you inequipped for life in the real world. It's a shame, because proper home cooked food is so much tastier and nutritious than any shop bought rubbish.

Answer 7

No,don't feel inadequate if you can't cook, actually sounds like you can, bake, will thats cooking, who cares what men think. If you wont to learn to cook, just start by trying things you fancy out of magizines, or a easy to learn cook book, there are heaps of women who can't cook, i hate cooking myself, would rather be sewing, making things, on here, or gardening, take care. cheers.

Answer 8

just learn slowly. I couldnt cook but learnt bits off my mum and now im ok. Just start with easy things and add bits and bobs to it. Watch cookery programmes to as they give you ideas as to what flavours go with what. and how long things take and so on. Happy cooking you will beat delia one day. Anyway if a guy doesnt like it that you cant cook tell him to get out in the kitchen and start cooking.

Answer 9

It didn't bother my wife and I still married her. After 10 years of marriage she has gotten much better at her cooking and baking ability. However she would be the first to say that I do a better job than she does. But that doesn't make or break our marriage we just have divided up the house hold chores so each one of us is doing their part

Answer 10

While women do the bulk of the cooking in the world, most of the best chefs are male. If you cant cook, you need a guy that can, or you will both be hungry.

Answer 11

Well, some people really enjoy the whole cooking thing. But me on the other hand, i hate it. I'm not that great at too many things, but it's hard to learn if you don't really want to. It isn't really a "bad" thing not to be able to cook. Everybody has different things that they are good at. Don't feel bad about yourself.
