Without sounding completely sexist...Do any guys? In my own personal experience, I don't know a single man who does read directions. But, like I said...that's been my experience...probably not true of the general public.
I'd never get anywhere if I didn't read directions.
my husband is NOT handy at all...he falls under the smart category...though he tries so hard:) (he gets an A for effort )
It's not too bad because I can fix things around the house myself.

Ladies...do you have a preference???
Let's say you really dig this guy...he is cute, hot, whatever.
But he isn't the smartest guy...
But, he is really good at fixing things.
Would that be good enough for you?
Smart for sure...all though I'd love a guy who was handy with cars so he could refurbish an old muscle car for me...it is a dream of mine to have a car like that.

Perhaps he's off now reading the directions on how to assemble a bookshelf?
HA! Ironically enough, my wife tried last night to put together a bookshelf for kid #1, and it's sitting in the middle of my garage looking like a lemonade stand!!! I took one look at that thing and realized I didn't have enough beer in the house to try and reconfigure it.

what about being somewhat technical savvy with the computer? does that fall into the category of handy or is that just smart?

can do. I don't go and say,

I will say that my husband is so NOT handy. lol
Hmmm...well, does he like Pearl Jam?? :rolleyes:
If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
Now we know why you have stayed with him all these years....
No, really, good for you...really.
I am happy for you.
lol
Can I come over for dinner???
he is also a very talented/sexy bass player. :cool:
in all fairness though...i too am smart and handy.
we both work....earn good wages.....and neither of us fall back on gender stereotypes to define who we are or our roles in our marriage, never have....also respect each others desires and space...and allow each other to persue our own interests, and sure...do a lot of things solo b/c then the times together....much better. we've had some very rocky times, but i am quite happy to say that we managed to get through them, and yes....if you truly love someone and they love you....it IS all surmountable, whatever *it* may be. just gotta work at it, talk about it, rage about it at times.....but definitely laugh about it.....and sure.....get hot and heavy for each other too.
but yes...he is seriously SUCH a good cook, love his food.
oh and yes, sure...you can come over for dinner!
although usually...he saves his cooking for me...unless it's BBQ in the summer. with guests, more often than not....we eat out.
thank you! besides, if something breaks i have a relatively decent shot at fixing things myself...i grew up going with my dad on handyman jobs, so i became well-acquainted with hardware stores and little fix-it projects in the houses he'd work in
now if a guy is smart but scared to lift something heavy lest he mess up his hair, then that's a whole other story. you don't have to know how to fix a semi-truck, but don't be prissy for god's sake haha

He tolerated it on Sunday but only because he was listening to my icky thump before that and the radio stinks.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
