You have to know how to cook if you’re a guy who doesn’t live at home in Mom’s basement. Even if it’s the basics — how to slice a tomato or onion, how to shuck corn, etc. — it’s a must. When you have even the slightest idea as to what to do when it’s time to prep food a woman is likely to think you’re A) a lazy sloth, or B) someone who expects her to wait on you hand and foot (she won’t).
