I start with a couple: knitting and crocheting. They are two of the two most useful things I’ve learned so far, all thanks to my grandmother and one of my aunts. Creating bags to carry things, repairing pants, jackets and backpacks, creating little cushions for my lower back or to support my wrist when I’m in the office, etc.
I still remember with some humor how my grandmother insisted to me that, as a man, I should not be ashamed of knowing how to crochet.
Oddly enough, my sister is the one who doesn’t know how to do either those things lol
I was going to come here to say the same thing. So many women I’ve dated are surprised at my cooking because it’s stupidly considered to be a women’s skillset.
They’re probably not surprised because it’s considered to be a woman’s skill so much as they are surprised because most man still don’t do the cooking. You may be the first guy they’ve dated who knew how to.
Very possible. It’s definitely a lot more prevalent now.
Are you dating women in the 60s? Cooking is an incredibly popular skill and hobby these days.
No. I’m in my 40s.
I would say more a hobby. “These days” going for takeout would be considered a skill as most of the time it is Door Dash’d.
