Do you ever get women to do men's stuff for you?

Question

Nope this isn't a sex question (sorry) I'm talking about the kind of things you feel you should be naturally capable of doing since you're a man but can't quite manage.

For example
You need a new headlight bulb or windscreen wiper for your car. You know you'll struggle to fit it so you'll send your wife to the shop because it's ok for a woman to ask them to fit it.

Or you need a spare part at a DIY.. store but don't know it's real name. Much easier to send her in to ask for one of these thingamajigs that fits on a wotyamacallit.

I remember hitchhiking with a girlfriend and sitting inconspicuously while she stood out on the shoulder of the road with her thumb out. LOL

I definitely have my wife get her own windshield wipers from the auto parts store so that she can have the guy find the right ones, then ask him if he knows how to install them.

We also have a guy come out every once in a while to help with our landscaping and drip irrigation. I have my wife deal with him because he seems much more inclined to take direction from her than me.

Your question did give me humorous images of a woman getting a guy to help her by acting all helpless and frail.

To do it for me noo maybe pick up parts I ordered or filters and quarts of oil for our cars to change oil like fill up the gas can maybe lawnmower needs gas but this is all maybe because I always handle this my self my grandpa, uncle's, best friends I grow up with taught me everything about street bikes and working on vehicles my favorite project was working on GTO Pontiac color gold I miss that muscle car I had that car in highschool built from ground up and don't get me wrong my girl actually wants to learn she can change her own oil I like work on cars with her she wants to learn👍🏽🥰🥰🥰

yo i feel so powerful doing things that are labeled as men jobs and im not very good at the girl stuff. i feel like the whole gender issue is stupid. if i can go and ask my boy to make some dinner, he can go and ask me to change a light bulb. idc

I usually have him do handyman type stuff because he is better. He often needs my help finding household supplies in clear view though. Lol

Let's be honest I'm pretty blessed from an early age if my bicycle broke if I wanted to build a model car if I wanted a pair of Levi's I had to go in halves with it because my mom couldn't afford it if her car broke down I would take a look at it and I just would fix it and just from being poor you have to learn how to do a lot of things and now history in time like I said I'm pretty that's because I can do it all and I'm not afraid to take it on if I don't know how to do it because the odds are I've done it before many times if I was to send a friend a girlfriend a sister a mother a grandma whomever to the store to buy something for me it's because my time is limited and why they going to pick up what I need I will be doing something else so when they get back it's all ready to go but I do love the girls who are not afraid to change your spark plugs there oil or do anything else to their car I think it's cool

I might ask my wife to do something fiddly, like installing a lightbulb in a car, but only because she's got smaller hands. My mother used to get stuck with putting her hand inside sheep, if they were having trouble birthing!

I'm Mexican... we're handy and we're skilled, we get things done... and if we don't know what we're doing, we're still going to do it and mess things up, that's how you learn

Charliefretz329 · Answer

I’m a self sufficient man. I do it all myself or at least know how. I can do most girl things too, except picking out colors or fashionable designs, I hire women for that, or occasionally gays. I also cook very well. But I DO occasionally get a kick out of watching a woman work… 😏

MrOracle · Answer

In the last week, I installed a new EGR valve on my work van, changed out a WiFi adapter in a laptop, bought and installed a security screen door on my parent's house, re-keyed the locks for it, and installed smart light switches for my buddy's dad.

I'm not the guy who needs someone to do Man Stuff for me.

Lionman95 · Answer

Neither I get some one else mostly male do that for me. I don´t come from a mechanical gifted family I don´t know how to change a tire and stuff. I don´t define my sexuality not by these kind of talents.

Adam1978 · Answer

No I would expect a worse result out of sending someone out for a thing with even less knowledge then me. If I don't know what I am looking for how would I explain it in a way so she can explain it in a store? No I take the broken thing to the store and ask where I can find a replacement part. That's how you learn.

Esten · Answer

Not really any of these answers... saving my "masculinity" what do you mean by that haha? I know plenty of men who can not use drill, repair something. Men are not experts on everything. I know nothing about cars, but am good at typical "housewife" work, know how to do most stuff around house and am good cook. If I do not know something and my female friend or partner is better at it, I would gladly ask.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Yeah I have had my ex wife change the discs n brakes on my car before. she’s got a better garage setup than I have. she also gets discount on car stuff.

Cnlngler · Answer

There is no such thing as women stuff or man stuff.. A single mom or a single Dad will do whatever needs to be done..
Why can't a girl be a mechanic and a guy be a hairdresser?
A guy can't give birth, and vice versa.

But everything else? Why not?

TallAnon · Answer

There's no shame in not knowing something. I may not know how to refill the oil in my car, the mechanic doesn't know how to render vector images as a mesh within a 3D environment.

Fuentes · Answer

Their are youtube DIY videos showing you how so you don't mess up so you can go to a autozone or oreillys and get the parts you need and do it, they're some cars that have a stupid ass way of putting headlight bulbs in like a Hyundai Sonata, so i could see why a man would send his wife to get someone else to do it if its a vehicle like that.

shortster · Answer

I usually try to do things myself; but if I fail, I don't mind asking a nearby woman if she wants to give it a go.

Cryptoanonne · Answer

Asking a woman to ask for you is the worst possible thing you can do. Like how in the fuck is that more manly than just asking yourself?

FR_Ruby · Answer

I don't give a sh*t about cars. I'll just go ask. Except I don't need a car, I just need a ticket to get out of car dependent cities.

Women who journey to the land of the dead don't need to worry about food or money. So, they are always willing to go places and share things since they aren't doing much else.
