Is it important for a guy to be handy?

[Sillyman]

How important is it for a guy to know how to fix and maintain things? Does it factor into the relationship at all?

 

[Ice Cold]

From my experience.. it isn't important at the beginning of the relationship, but as things go on... usually the woman needs some assistance with something, and than the secret is out... YOU can fix things. Suddenly the to do lists appear.

 

[PacificBlue]

No. I can do it myself.

 

[Kitte]

As Red Green says...If the women dont find ya handsome they should at least find ya handy.

 

[Rubyfruit]

I love handy men. Nothing turns me on more than a man who knows how to work power tools.

 

[peachykeen]

I can do lots of stuff myself but have had the good fortune to marry an architect, so he knows way more about construction/power tool/sales at Home Depot stuff than me. Which is nice. Leaves me more free time to write dirty stories

 

[Soblue]

If you plan on owning a house together, he either needs to be handy, or make enough money to pay someone else to be handy.

 

[deliciously_naughty]

it's nice if it happens...but all I really require is someone who can open the jars and kill the big bugs. being capable of fixing my computer is a plus...more so than fixing household stuff as my computer breaks more frequently.

Well . . .

I'd like to think that I'm an empowered woman, but I can see where having a handy man would be handy . . .

But then again, I like men who are good with their hands period.

Hi Silly, how the hell are ya?

 

[T.H. Oughts]

STOP!!!

Think about it people.... there are just as many things a man needs a woman round the place for besides sex too you know.

I really must learn how to use power tools...

 

[Ice Cold]

I laugh when my friend screams because she has seen a spider...
you can give birth to two children... yet a small bug scares you to death. But that is my job, bug killer.

 

[SimGuy]

Yes, the man around the house should at least be willing to learn those handyman skills - especially if you are considering home ownership. After two remodels, I'm pretty confident of what I can do.

They are also the disposer of the bugs, cleaner up of the really ucky stuff - animal vomit, clogged toilets and such, and they function as the last stop for leftovers before the Garbage Disposer, Dog or Chickens!!

[Allexus_TN]

Around my house, I'm the fix it person. I fix the toliet. The wall, the door, the vaccum, etc etc etc. I have never seen my SO fix anything in his life. I always have to. I want someone else to do it for a change.

 

[cybergirly]

I can do it myself. (or pay someone to do it)

About a year ago, I bought my first house. One of my first purchases was a cordless drill.... whoo hooooo! I was so excited, I went around drilling holes, and unscrewing things and screwing things back in for days.

 

[celiaKitten]

He can be as handy or not as he likes: but if he touches my car I'll kill him

Nah - I can do all that stuff myself. If he's handy - great. That means I don't have to change his oil for him

 

[hatara]

Ok enough with women's lib.

The man's job is to kill the bugs when he's there!

I will kill them when he's not but he has to when he is there.

 

[Elizabeth]

Put it this way; my husband proposed to me like this. "Your cars will always run (he was an ASE certified master mechanic at the time) nothing will ever be broken in the house and I will build you a dining room table. Will you marry me?" That was like music to my ears and yes...he has delivered on every one of these promises.



and he kills bugs too. That's as close to perfection as I can hope for.

My thoughts exactly!!

 

[Shelby Lynn]
