9 Types of Homemade Cooking That Don't Make Boyfriends Happy

[+26 / -925]


【1】 "Nikujaga" There is a common misconception that this is the key to a man's heart — "You are mistaken if you think this will make men happy. We don't even like it that much." (20's male)
*Nikujaga: meat, potatoes and onion stewed in sweetened soy sauce.

Some men seem to be fed up about the Nikujaga myth. Set aside the myth and cook something you think he wants to eat. This is the key in showing the love in your home cooking.

【2】 "Curry rice" Each person has a different take on the dish — "That's not my mental image of curry..." (10's male)
*Curry rice: Japanese curry over rice

Food that tastes different from household to household will have divided opinions. In order to make the boyfriend happy, it is better to research his favourite flavours and and ingredients in advance, or to make an original curry that is completely different from the "home curry".

【3】 "Fancy meals" Dishes made with a mix of ingredients they aren't used to, like avocado and cheese — "Something more ordinary and that I can eat hungrily would be good." (10's male)

If you want make stylish food, it might be a good idea to add another dish he is familiar with so he can slowly get used to it.

【4】 "Full spread of traditional Japanese dishes" Dishes that blatantly try to show off that they'll be a good wife — "Chikuzen-ni, Hijiki salad, Unohana, Ohitashi... blech!" (20's male)
*Chikuzen-ni: Braised chicken and vegetables; Unohana: soy pulp cooked with soy sauce, mirin, carrots, burdock root and shiitake mushrooms; Ohitashi: vegetables steeped in dashi

It is better to refrain from cooking more than a few "traditional home cooking" dishes so you don't put pressure on where the relationship is going.

【5】 "Fried rice" and "Pasta" Things they can easily cook themselves — "I want her to cook something a bit more high level." (20's male)

【6】 "Stew" with white rice and no side dishes — "A meal with just stew is... meh" (20's male)

【7】 "Tofu burger" or "Fried food that doesn't use oil" Things made with calorie intake in mind — "Don't pull me into your diet." (20's male)

【8】 "Fresh vegetable salad" Is this even cooking? — "Cut up vegetables doused in dressing is not home cooking" (30's male)

【9】 "Imitation Buddhist vegetarian food" Being too concerned with being healthy — "Tasteless, don't even want to eat it..." (30's male)

【5】 What the heck is "Te no kotta ryori". It's "Te no konda" (intricate) or "Tema wo kaketa" (time-consuming) or "Kotta" (elaborate). You're stupid yet you're making so many demands.

Nikujaga is convenient because I can easily turn it into curry.

14. [+531 / -5]
Eat it even if it's sh*t.

15. [+483 / -5]
If that's the case, you can just live on water and air.

It's overused but "varies by person"
Using my close relatives as an example, my husband doesn't like nikujaga but it's my younger brother's favourite.

20. [+609 / -4]
Guys that can say "The food my beloved girlfriend made for me doesn't make me happy at all" are something else (lol)

21. [+340 / -6]
Even though the bill is split when they eat out, all they know what to do is complain.

23. [+487 / -3]
Then try cooking yourself.
A woman doesn't always have to cook for a man.

24. [+207 / -1]
Make it yourself or tell me what you want

Better off staying with their mothers for the rest of their life

29. [+565 / -2]
Even if he isn't quite her type, women are fine with being with a man who is happy to eat her food and says it is delicious.
"That's not my curry..." Who do you think you are?

32. [+10 / -88]
Nikujaga that's made with good beef and that has a strong-ish sweet and salty flavour is received well with men.
It shouldn't be boiled until there's no flavour.

72. [+76 / -3]
>>32
Nikujaga isn't a dish made for men, there's no need to specially match their tastes.

140. [+3 / -3]

My husband says everything I cook is delicious so it always feels rewarding~
I'm glad he's not like these guys~

34. [+206 / -1]
It's exactly that! You should be glad to even have food made for you!
If you're not, you shouldn't get married. Eat your mother's food for the rest of your life.

36. [+207 / -2]
Don't even want to cook for you, man.

37. [+103 / -4]
They'll be happy if you deep fry everything.

38. [+254 / -1]
I make it because I want to eat it
Do these guys think they're helping us by eating it? ww

39. [+17 / -9]
I also had the impression that guys don't actually like nikujaga but my husband loves it.

41. [+181 / -3]
You should be happy with anything they make
People who don't feel thankful are no good.

44. [+213 / -1]
Things like fried chicken, hamburg steak, and shogayaki (ginger grilled pork) should do the trick.

45. [+119 / -1]
I think they should be grateful that they get healthy food made for them.

46. [+154 / -1]
Do they actually like their girlfriends?
If you really like someone, you should be happy if they made something for you...

49. [+56 / -3]
※ Depends on the person
※ If a cute girl makes it, they'll be happy
