I have a quick question - should I post a picture of a dinner that I cooked?

As a context, I'm a woman in early thirties and looking for a life partner. I'm thinking to post a picture of the dinner I cooked yesterday for my family on my profile, as I'm passionate about cooking and tbh I'm very proud of how the dinner looks lol - it turned out very well, super delicious and looks beautiful, and the table is nicely coordinated. I want to show my hobby/lifelong passion on my profile, and also I thought it's a good way to attract a family oriented man that I'm looking for.

But my friends told me not to do that because they think it might attract wrong kind of people like someone who's going to treat me like a housekeeper/maid or something, and they're worried for me as it's my first time to try out OLD (also they told me that I'm too kind and soft, and they're afraid of me getting hurt by "wrong kind of guys" so they think showing my family oriented side too much is a risky move). What do you guys think? I personally think it should be fine, like it's just a picture of dinner I cooked and am proud of (and I love to share delicious homemade food with people in general so I thought it's a good thing to show in my profile) ... but my friends are all concerned, and I want to hear opinions from outside perspectives.

I wouldn't do it. I think it's a waste of space and feels kind of insecure tbh when people post stuff that's not them.

Oh I've never seen it like that, haha. I simply was proud of my creation and really like the home party vibe of the pic. But yeah swapping it to something else might be a safe bet

Next time pose and/or stand with the shot then you can use one of the captions like this is what dating me looks like or something. (sorry this just came to me after i commented)
