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.
But did you even stop to think about what a long day it was for the other people running?1 -

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?
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.
Do guys know how attractive it is when they do this? Asking for my friends because I’m immune
I was pretty oblivious to any kind of advances or comments I heard women say about it as I was married at the time. All I heard from her was bitching about how long it was taking, how expensive it was and why I wasn't pulling my weight doing chores around the home such as washing dishes, vacuuming, etc.
So, might be a bit jaded on some of these things.1 -

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. 😍
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
Its just my online persona.
I'm a *kitten* mess IRL. 😂😂😂4 -

Well...... Which ones hotter? 🤷🏽♂️
ummm let's say I don't need a man is hotter but change my tire has some extra benefits
Which one has better.... Linguistic skills? 😬
Probably change my tire
Change my tire as the main piece and I don't need a man as the side piece then... 🤷🏽♂️

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.
We had a huge patch of it when i was growing up. It makes the best sound when you mow it1 -

Mmhmm. I feel the same way.
I “can’t cook” at all. I’ve cooked—nobody has died. I don’t enjoy it. I don’t feel obligated to learn. There are so many things to learn in life that I decided a while back that cooking is something that I don’t enjoy, so I’d learn the bare minimum and leave it at that. It seems to offend people, but <shrugs>
I put my energy elsewhere and I don’t feel bad about it at all4 -

Yes to both posters.
However, I'm thinking along the lines of extreme
Different perspectives on extreme sides of the spectrum is I guess what I'm referring to.
On one end someone who can not show vulnerability and weakness...stating she needs noone ...all the way to the person who maybe relies on everyone else to solve her problems
I'd have to go with the "I need no one"
The other would annoy me1 -
