Comment posted Is it ok for guys to learn how to sew, and crochet, and cook? by VicRae.
It’s better to learn how to cook and sew for yourself and others. And as for crocheting lots of guys have it for a hobby.
My grandfather sews quilts all the time and sells them for quite a bit of money.
And if you make Crocheted items you can sell them too.
And as for cooking you could become a chef. Or a good short order cook.
Good luck with you lifestyle skills .

- I am teaching my boys how to cook, sort their clothes, wash them, and they do chores at home, besides keeping their room clean. I teach them French, too, during the summers (as much as I know).
I taught them how to sew buttons, too, and the youngest can knit loom a hat, with supervision. When they go to college, they won’t be able to pop in so that I can do that stuff for them. They need to survive!
I’m not going to last them forever, and I know that my future daughters in law are going to call me blessed and thank me for it!
So, hey, if you want to learn to do art in crochet or knitting, or just because you want to relax, GOPHER IT! It won’t take away from your manhood.

I have a nephew that went to chefs school and my son loves to cook.
One of my son’s friends crochets and sews.
I’m glad we are living in a time when there are no longer set gender roles.

My Mom had 4 boys, and we ALL learned those skills… as well as working on the VW’s, backpacking, building decks, mowing lawns, and painting the house with DAD.
I never learned to crochet, but used to KNIT during long Navy submarine-hunting flights. NO one ever made a snide remark TWICE !!

No problem at all. Assuming you live at home when you move out there isnt going to be a women to cook for you is there.
Or mind you if you live out of home now. Probably also doesnt matter. Thats like saying a women shouldnt earn top dollar for a job.

I’ve never heard of a guy crocheting, but there’s nothing wrong with a man cooking, cleaning or sewing. I think every man should know how to cook, clean and sew. knowing these things keeps a man from being dependent upon a woman.

Nothing wrong with a guy doing sewing, crocheting, knitting, cooking, etc. Is there something wrong if a girl wants to change the oil in her car? Same premise.
You didn’t say if you were married or not. If you’re not, that could be a selling point, so to speak. My brother is the cook in his family, and his wife absolutely adores him for it. She says it’s great knowing you don’t have to come home from work and start cooking as soon as you get in.
For that matter, if I ever met a guy who could sew, that would mean I didn’t have to deal with stabbing my poor fingers in my really lame attempt to sew buttons back on.

Why not, more power to you if you do these things. Any girl
would appreciate a guy who does them.

Tailoring is traditionally men’s work with dress-making women’s work. With today’s styles, sewing is generally sewing. If you don’t have a sew-er "on-staff", it’s useful to be *able* to keep up with ones own mending and alterations rather than re-purchasing when a seam frays.
Knitting, macramé & crochet are traditional sailor’s crafts. I understand there are still lots of firemen with time on their hands at the firehouse who continue the tradition. At firehouses, whoever’s there does the cooking.
There’s an American tradition that cooking "isn’t sissy" if it’s dangerous . . . barbecue has open flames so barbecue is macho. I consider the idea silly. Cooking well = caring and is a sign of respectful intent. Housekeeping chores = caring and are a sign of respectful intent.
There are folk who consider caring/humane activities to be less masculine. That’s *their* problem. Don’t let it become yours.

You are so awesome!! My husband doesn’t sew or cook (crochet doesn’t really matter that much to me, but he doesn’t do that, either). I don’t enjoy cooking, so we eat out all the time. If he could cook, I’d lose about twenty pounds, I think. If he could sew, I wouldn’t have to mend his clothes all the time. If anyone ever makes fun of you for this, stab them in the eye with a crochet hook.

It’s not only ok, guys make the best chefs (Emeiril Lagasse, famous for saying "BAM"), design some of the greatest crochet patterns, and my husband does most of our house cleaning because he loves me and I hate house work. (And he does a very good job of it!) What gender a job is assigned to changes as culture changes. Thankfully, today we can (mostly) do our own thing. What’s for dinner?

I think it’s great! my man cooks for me & my friends husband just started sewing & can’t get enough of it
