I’m sure you are completely competent, Diane… I was just saying that my own sense of pride or whatever won’t let me fake it. I just can’t stand for men to think I can’t do something because I’m a woman.

“The Female ‘I can’t do this without a man’ Incompetancy game.”
[/quote]
Let’s not even begin to fool ourselves that this statement cannot be easily rearranged to read "The Male “I can’t do this (laundry, shop, iron, dishes, etc.) without a woman” Incompetency game.
The difference is, is that women use men’s sexual feelings while men use women’s mothering instinct to get what they want. The game works both ways.
JFTR, I understand that not ALL men and not ALL women do this. There are always the exceptions.

Shit, maybe I should batted my eyelashes at Handy to see if he would have helped me QUOTE properly.

May I help you with that, ma’am? You can come over and cut down my trees. I just can’t figure out the damn chainsaw.

:::swoon::: I’ll grab my chainsaw (yes, I really have one) and be right over! I have a power hedge trimmer too, should I bring it?
Do you think you could show me how to change my wiper blades before the snow starts to fall? I’m, not sure which end goes on first.

Wiper blades? No problemo, Senorita. Actually, we better not cut down the trees though; I live in an apartment.

I once had a girlfriend who liked to fish more than I did. She was also quite a mechanic, while I am not. I’m a cook.
It was not an unusual weekend scene for her to be working on the car while I cleaned and cooked the fish she had caught.
Testosterone levels still high, thank you very much.
Diane, fluttering eyelashes at handy? Ah, surely you jest. I would probably think you have something in your eye. The best way for a woman to get my attention is simply to come right over and ask a question. An intelligent one, that is.
If the Truth be told Diane, I treat & talk to everyone the same, be they children, adults, men, women, foreign, etc. The same vocabulary, the same questions, no need for discrimination one way or the other. Address the human being in the person & get a human answer.
