I'm a woman and I'm all about doing things for the people I love, but I don't really cook. I'll happily unclog a shower drain, put together furniture, change your spark plugs, but I hate cooking. Nothing makes me feel attracted to someone quite like when they cook for me; it makes me feel so loved. I joke that the worst part of being single is having to make my own dinner and do my own grocery shopping. I eat so simply now because I refuse to actually cook for just myself.
It's a good 80/20 split from what I've seen. My brother is the chef (and boy can he cook, lol), also the anxious one, in his relationship and his girl is the no-nonsense, "gets her hands dirty" person. As long as we find someone who complements us we're solid. My wife's pretty easygoing and I'm a maniac underneath, for example. 🤣
