Would you find it attractive if a girl can fix her car?

[AlongCameCindy]

Yes

No

[jgokgotit]

I loved that scene. To answer the question, yes I would. I want a woman who can take care of herself. If the woman I date does not know how to fix a car, I'd insist that she at least learn the basics, like how to change a tire, change oil and fluids and all the easy stuff. These are life skills EVERYONE should have.

[ecfresh]

As @anon1903 said it’s more helpful or it may add to her appeal than being attractive on its own merits. If the girl looked like Megan Fox in Transformers it’s her body that is attractive. If she looked like my brother who is a skilled mechanic then no, that’s not attractive.

[Sbgirl]

Doesn't really matter if it's attractive - but I think it's important that anyone who drives has a basic knowledge of their car's anatomy.

I couldn't get to work and fix my car, but I made sure I understood it and could name everything under the hood before I passed my test.

[Rebecka33]

i'm a girl and i would. Everytime I've fixed a car strangers would pull of the highway to help me no joke so im assuming big time the answer is yes!!

[ZackBan]

To me this is beyond attractive. A girl who actually got skill to compliment looks is in a league all by herself in my book.

My type has always been a woman who can rock high heals just as well as combat boots with all their respective significances.

[JackSmy]

If she just knows the air filter, and where the spark plugs are, and maybe how to check the oil, pressure in the tires, I am impressed!! If she knows how to change oil, brakes, and maybe a clutch plate, driving a manual, OMG, I'm thinking what kind of ring...

[Massageman]

- - - - definitely a keeper!

[JackSmy]

@Massageman I didn't even mention how I felt if she knows how to shoot a gun!! :) :)

[Massageman]

That would be the icing on a tasty cake!

[JackSmy]

@Massageman We can dream, at least! :)

[jamesgoldman]

Sure it fall into the 'you can do something I can't' catagory

N. b. I could learn but that would require a car and the space to do the work... by the time I can afford to insure a car odds are it will be all be self-driving Tesla's or I could hire someone else to be my driver

[dangerDoge]

For some reason, I get the strange feeling most car-fixes don't look like 2007 Megan Fox lmao

I'm not sure if I would find fixing a car as 'attractive' per say... but hey, it'd be a cool skill to have. Basic car maintenance, i. e. changing a flat, is especially nice to know. It's certainly better than someone taking in their car for maintenance because they don't know how to change a windshield wiper lol

[theCobbler]

Oh hell yes! But I doubt she'll look like the pic! lol

There's not one thing wrong with it , personally I hate mechanic work ; I don't have the patience for it! So if my SO would be a better mechanic than myself ill be there handing her wrenches!

[Anonymous]

Broooooooo. I have a customer I do her lawn. Omg 😍 she has hot cars as in old school and she has a big garage. She is a pro circuit racer. Won't say her name but man lol. If she was in my range of age oooh we will match cuz I rebuild engines and mod them up.

Now answering your question. if I find a single female I will definitely try my best to catch the eye.

[Nigjt]

U must really learn how to text better Please the way U put things to gather isn't good at all sometimes it's very hard to understand an I'm not trying to be mean but take it time Pretty Please

[AlongCameCindy]

The reason you’re saying that is because I put “do” on there by mistake
Nothing hard to understand

[AlongCameCindy]

Plus to gather? Do you mean together?

[Nigjt]

I said what I said an that's it not to be rude or anything.
God Bless

[hafman420]

Nigjt i think you should proof read your opinions more as well cause some one could get the wrong idea when you miss type things as often as you do just my opinion

[Nigjt]

Ok let me ask u this what do u mean because their is no way else to put it but for this person to take there time in texting.
Are u saying this because I told this person that?
God Bless

[hafman420]

no I only said that cause there was a couple of places where u may have corrected yourself had you proofread it that's all

[Jjpayne]

Oh heck yes! A girl that knows that, is a girl that can take care of herself. She is smart and willing to put in effort to learn things

[AmeenKA]

So I said yes, but for the reason that it would make me feel secure that if she is in a situation then she can get out of it. I would worry so much if something happened to my girl and she didn't know what to do.

[EmmaMary]

Well I know how to change a wheel/puncture, check the oil level, where to fill up the washer bottle and of course where and how to fill up with fuel.
That will do for me! lol

[MrOracle]

You should also be able to check the other fluid levels (also quite easy), but otherwise that's enough to get you by. I don't expect anyone to be a mechanic, but tires and fluids are important things that every driver should know. Good job for making an effort! And find someone to take 10 minutes to go over the other fluids with you. That could be the difference in preventing many thousands of dollars of repairs.

[EmmaMary]

@MrOracle What fluids are you actually referring to?

[MrOracle]

Coolant is probably the most important after oil - and "coolant" doesn't mean water, it means antifreeze. Note: clean up any spills - pets are drawn to its smell but it is poisonous to them. Power steering fluid is also important in most cars, and if the fluid level is going down, it usually means you have a leak, and letting the leak go could mean the power steering pump dying, among other things.

You should check, but not necessarily top up, the brake fluid. I recommend having the brake fluid completely flushed and replaced every 3 years as well. It's cheap to do and relatively easy to do, but I've seen cars where the fluid is so old it's like dark coffee or it's a semi-solid like Jello! That's SO dangerous! Checking the brake fluid is mostly looking at the condition of the fluid (it should be very light brown, kind of like iced tea), but also that it's not really low, which indicates a leak. You also don't want to see white froth, which means the fluid is boiling and is effectively destroyed.

And the last common fluid is window washer fluid. That should also not be just water, especially if you ever drive in freezing weather, because water will freeze in the lines and you can't wash the windshield if you get salt or mud spray on it. You need window washer fluid, which contains some alcohol to prevent freezing, and some soap to help cut grease.

[EmmaMary]

@MrOracle Thank you so much for all this very informative information, it's much appreciated.
However, fortunately the car is only a year old and therefore has another two years of warranty left on it, and as it gets regularly serviced and will be change for a new one in two years, I don't think I have too much to worry about, other than perhaps getting a dreaded puncture.

[Pappy1955]

I'm sorry I hit the wrong key I would find attractive and also helpful, If she interested I ask her to help fix my car for the simple reason I suck when it comes to fixing a car.

[AlienParasite]

I believe that having such skill is to some extent important, and so it's very attractive in both genders.

[MuffinBoi]

If that's what they like doing then great! Since I quite like cars as a whole, I think we'd have a great time repairing a car or a piece of machinery together. I'm up for bonding by teamwork and learning new things!

[lightbulb27]

yes, if she knows how to lube the chassi, check compression, and do some wrenching, yes.

[andreasderjuengere]

It's not a matter of attraction to me.
But I would surely be impressed :)
Not, because she's a girl... just because it's quite uncommon.

[AlexanderBrunnrgaard]

Yeah, some skill in mechanics is attractive. Unless the girl in question is a less than attractive tomboy.

[arabgoddess]

I know nothing about fixing cars apart from cleaning my own car.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Neither attractive nor unattractive. I literally don't care one way or the other. Men don't care if women are "handy" or not

[Thisperson98]

Yes, I would like for us to compare the differences of fixing cars and fixing small airplanes. I know next to nothing about cars, but I know a lot about fixing airplanes.

[Miristheiss]

I do not think I'd find it attractive or unattractive.
