    Do guys prefer a girl who has it all together
    "I dont need a man"

    ..or ..

    someone who "needs" to be taken care of? "Will you come fix my lawn mower, change my tire...

    The first type, with a caveat that they can still appreciate acts of kindness and favor for what they are and not some sort of gender hierarchy.

    If by "I don't need a man" you mean "I don't need a man. But, I'd like one in my life" then yes.

    I was married to one who "needed" to be taken care of. No thanks.

    I don't "need" to be taken care of. I can take care of myself. I don't know how to do anything related to fixing a car or changing tires/oil/etc..... but I know where to go to get those things done. 🤷‍♀️

    I will say, however, that for me personally...... a man who knows how to do things, fix things, build things, etc....
    Men who are handy = sexy.

    I may not "need" him to do things, but having a man who can do those things is hot.
    And handy.
    And appreciated.
    ❤😁
    It must be the delivery. I said something nearly identical and got told in no uncertain terms that automobile care was easy to learn and I should have my feminist card revoked for paying someone else to do it. (I may be exaggerating.)

    Yes to all this.

    Well, with the exception of being super self-sufficient. I’d be the type to call and say “I have a flat on interstate what do I do 😭” and then hate myself for not being a strong independent woman later 😬

    But yes to it being very sexy when a man has a mind/love for building or if he understands things that I don’t. Not because it’s useful to me but because it’s fascinating. I have no interest in what happens under the hood of a car, but I could listen to someone talk about it all day if it interested them and they knew a lot about it.

    But for me, my real kryptonite is a guy who can build things. Woodworking. God, is there anything hotter?

    Change my tire as the main piece and I don't need a man as the side piece then... 🤷🏽‍♂️

    So yeah...... I'm with you on all that except I dont think that not knowing how to do those things means I'm not a strong independent woman. 🤷‍♀️
    I don't need to do ALL the things. I think there is strength in knowing that and knowing you have support with things you don't know how to do. But thats just my 2 cents. 🤷‍♀️😁

    Also, woodworking is sexy af. 😍

    As a former auto mechanic, sometimes changing a tire on the side of the road isn't possible. Aluminum rims, if not rotated regularly can bond to rotors or wheel hubs making it impossible to get it off. Or, you're in a high traffic area, so it can be unsafe. Nothing wrong with calling AAA or someone else to do it.

    Also, I always told anyone who listened that "knowledge is power" when it comes to any kind of repair. If you take a car in for repair, make sure you clearly understand the work they'll be doing and ask them upfront to save the old parts so you can see/understand what exactly was done. If it doesn't make sense, ask questions until it does. I've seen too many people taken advantage of, especially women because the service manager thinks women won't know the difference.

    Same goes for home repair such as appliances, remodeling, etc. Learn and understand what you can. I was lucky in that I could do most of the remodeling on the home I owned to save money and do it as I wanted. But, it also got very tiring as there was a never ending list of work to be done.

    If you go to Home Depot, Lowe's or other places like them which offer free clinics on repairs or upgrades, a lot of women attend them. I think it damn cool to see women wanting to learn and do some repairs on their own.

    Stop being perfect. Just stoppit right now

    Eta: i wouldn’t hate myself for not knowing how to change a tire. Just that my first inclination would be to call my guy rather than figuring out who i need to call for help

    How do y’all feel about spinach

    Spinach has a very high oxalate count; kale is a better option.

    Clearly you’ve tried running a marathon with a kidney stone sir

    I didn't try to run the marathon.... I actually ran it.


    and yes, with a kidney stone along for the ride.


    it was a very long day.

    Dear lord can we have one SINGLE conversation without you bringing up oxalates??!?

    Did you know that cooked spinach has more oxalates than raw spinach? It's true !

    Also, rhubarb is very high in oxalates... but really, who actually eats rhubarb?

    It barely counts as a food.
