If you do not know how to cook, and you are above the age of 18, someone has failed you in your life. This is the hard truth of the matter. It is probably the single most useful day to day skill you can possibly have.
You do not need to go to restaurants to enjoy a decent meal, you can make one yourself
You spend much less money on eating out if you can cook
On the flip side, you get much more nutrition because your diet consists of more than what you can stick in a microwave, if you choose to save money and not eat out.
It also has social benefits. Women love men who can cook. Your friends will be impressed if you can cook. People like people who can cook.
It is not only a feminine skill. It is a human skill. Everyone should know how to cook, it is the most basic survival skill of all time.
If you can't cook, start by doing something simple like frying an egg. Then learn basic knife work and sautéing. Learn about flavor combinations, learn when and how to use a mirepoix (the most important and most versatile of all bases. I make a mirepoix almost every damned day, especially in the winter), learn where and when to use different seasonings and for what they will work the best. Learn the difference between a julienne, a batonnet, a dice, and brunoise, and learn how all of these slices impact the flavor and texture of a dish.
I could go on. I was inspired by a conversation I had with my father (who, indeed, taught me much about how to cook) to make this post. Build a foundational level of cooking and proceed from there. It's skill based, but cooking at least well enough that you don't have to rely on eating out or TV dinners is an absolutely essential part of being an adult. I consider it on par with being able to manage finances, file taxes, work a job, or being able to court women and start families. Once upon a time, if you didn't know how to cook you'd just starve and die.
A caveat: I guess the weirdos who eat everything raw need not apply though. You all keep... doing you, I suppose.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
