Are you getting actual sex out of them, or are they only giving you artificial flirtation in order to get you to do free shit for them?

If a woman asked me to change her tire, I'd say "shit that sucks for you, guess you shouldn't have spent your cash on that new Coach purse. good luck with the bus."

"Thanks for fixing the vacuum cleaner! You're such a good friend."

Of course women know how to fix their problems! They just cast their "Summon White Knight" spell and presto chango, problem solved.

Right on the money. The idea of a man being able to take care of himself and the things around him isn't a foreign concept, but it is becoming that of a cowboy - a dying breed. Don't ever let a woman tell you that you can't buy that tool, because you need that tool to fix whatever needs fixing. If you can't do basic house or car maintenance, then learn it. Everyone has cars. But few people know how to maintain or fix it. I'll go as far as saying that there is a social stigma of a man not being a man if he can't maintain his own car, or things around the house.

Often times I go to a friend's house and add fuel to their little bickering. The husband refuses to fix or learn to fix basic car and household things. The wife had to call me a few times to fix them and even goes as far as emasculating him and using me as leverage. The indirect result is a dead bedroom and the wife having the hots for me (of course she is off the table).

Protip. Fixing shit for someone else without getting fair payment in cash or services is a major waste of your time.

The thing is, to women these things are all magical. Most women go through their lives with absolutely no idea how the things that make up their lives function.

No, they absolutely understand most of these things (as much as a typical man would), they just like to get one of their beta orbiters to take of it for them.

I personally like hobbies and enjoy all kinds of DIY projects that relate to things that I like to do.

Once you do something for someone else things get weird.

Don't mix business with pleasure.

If you enjoy doing DIY activities don't be a slave... even if you would be a happy slave.

Unless you have a history of male friendship that involves reciprical behavior you should not do anything of an extended nature to help others. Family is okay.

Otherwise you must establish a price for your labor.

Tell the woman:

"If I fix this you owe me dinner tonight."

...if she promises then backs out then that's the end of it, but at least you enjoyed the experience of doing the repair.

Pay attention to whether she seems willing to fulfill her promise. If your instincts make you suspect she will back out then you need to say:

"Okay... wait... are you serious about this promise or not?"

And after that if she seems flakey you might just say "No".

Read body language.

Take adversity as an opportunity to showcase your capabilities.

My capability is to get other people to do stuff for me. This is far more enticing.

If the woman's father was a handy type of man, this is a major SMV boost for you.

However, many people see this type of work as beneath them, and pigeonhole you as "the help." Learn this type of stuff for your own benefit, but if you expect it to be universally impressive, you are in for a lot of disappointment.

Make sure you get paid well, in pussy or otherwise, then regale her with your expertise if you choose.

Battle-Scars · 2016-01-27T04:26:14+00:00

Agreed.

Take a girl camping so you can fuck her in the woods all weekend. You better know what to pack in your truck, how to chop wood, pup a tent and start a fire. Tingles on steroids will follow. Don't have the skills, you're fucked and your SMV nosedives.
At your girls house and the plumbing, electrical, etc. needs fixing. You should at least have basic knowledge to fix it or troubleshoot and solve the problem. SMV increases.
"Hey Julie, who I'm not fucking, I drove by your house and noticed the lawn needed mowing, can I come by Thursday and mow it?" just no! A thousand times no!

I've had a few women tell me how hot it is when I... (do stuff for them)

Look... women will outright lie about what they find attractive to shape men into being what they want them to be. Fixing shit is straight up betabux. Unless they say "I love how you changed that lightbulb, fuck me right now", then you are receiving betabux manipulation. You're falling for it because they are making you feel attractive (rewarding you at zero cost to themselves) for doing what they want.

Think about it... all these women who you think appreciate you... how many are fucking you? How many are doing anything that benefits you? I would bet it's close to zero. You're just validation-whoring yourself for a lot of your time and no benefit.

You can't just get bigger biceps and grow some stubble but not know how to change a tire and expect to be perceived as masculine.

You say this and you feel happy. Women tell you this, and you feel satisfied. Meanwhile Mr Chad McBicep is fucking these women and noone is telling you about it.

I fix a lot of shit myself, and I help my friends. But I don't help women because they flat out don't appreciate it. They never repay, they never help, they just try to manipulate me into doing more of their shit.

Don't be fooled. Don't be beta. Women are selfish, lazy and manipulative. Get used to it.

A few years ago my daughter & I met up with a buddy & his wife at Lake Powell for a long weekend (either Memorial Day or Labor Day, I can't remember which now).

So Sunday evening we left the lake towing <5000# of boat & the heater core inlet blew. I hitched a ride into town & the only thing open was Walmart. When I got back to the truck it was dark, but by flashlight I bypassed the heater altogether with an angled shower pipe, a couple of clamps, lots of lube & a few gallons of water.

I'm no mechanic, but I've McGyvered my way out of plenty of trouble. Since it's the kind of story nobody believes, I took pictures the next morning at the RV park.

Being handy comes in very...handy.
