| | An odd thing that really got mePage 1 of 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) | This evening, before we went out, the guy I had a date with installed new parts into my lawn mower.
For me, it was a total turn-on.
Never, when I thought about what would attract me to a man, did I ever consider lawn mower repair.
There is just something about being good with his hands that I find incredibly hot.
Oh my!
I mean, it was something that I could have done myself, but now I get it when guys say that they want you to be competent, but totally lost without their help. By necessity, I've become very self-reliant. But having somebody actually take care of something for me..... all I can come up with to say is, "Oh my!" And I’m never at a loss for words.
But this just sent me over the edge. 
I'm going to be 42 next month. I should be past the swooning stage! | |

Posted: 7/15/2008 8:18:52 PM | No, he fixed it for free. I got the parts, and he installed them.
But I did pick up dinner...
It was the least I could do. (And trust me, I wanted to do SO much more!) | |

I find it totally hot when a woman is good with her hands, too.  | |

Posted: 7/15/2008 8:34:55 PM | Wow
I had NO idea. Today I was working in my company's warehouse and I was joking that the
oil from the auto parts mixes with a man's pheromones and creates and irresistable lure
for women (of course totally fabricated in my mind) but perhaps I'm onto something here.
Man..if this guy gets word of this thing that makes you swoon ..not only will you have a good
relationship but it's likely you won't have a broken appliance in the house.

Well he is a cut above the rest.
How about I work on your weed wacker?  | |

Hope they continue for you :) | |

Posted: 7/15/2008 9:16:04 PM | | I'm 100% with you on that. Different people have different things that turn them on and fixing things/working with their hands is definitely one of 'em. Me-ow :] | |

You got it baby, that's all we want, just 'let' us fix the damn mower, but have dinner with us . . . we know you ladies gotta eat sometime, so eat with us and we'll gladly fix whatever you've got. You are a damn cool lady that picked up the dinner, it's not the cost of the dinner, it's that you were considerate enough to recognize and show him some appreciation.
We're not all cavemen. That's all it takes for a "give and take" to be something nice- - - or am I 'old school'; don't most of us 'want someone'?
My hat's off to you honey- spread the good word.

There is no such thing as being too old for swooning. 
~OP~ Great post ~ finally something positive on here. I'm going to live vicariously through you!!  | |

Posted: 7/15/2008 10:39:51 PM | | My loss I guess...I'm much more Tim the Tool Man than I am Bob Vila, although I do know which end of the screwdriver is which...lol Now if you have a computer problem, especially if its a Mac, I can probably help. In fact, I once fixed a woman's hard drive and ended up dating her for several months. | |

Posted: 7/15/2008 11:11:07 PM | Heck, if lawnmower repair gets you excited, I should be irresistable when I build a custom handrail or staircase.
You may swoon at will. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 1:29:45 AM | Similar thing happened to me with a guy who voluntarily decided to fix my dish washer ....................???????????
He just took it upon himself to get down on his hands & knees-- dont jump the story-- & take a look for me. Ended up fixing it & probably saved me a small fortune, : )
And,yep,there was something really "appealing" about the whole thing....!!
And,Op,as others have said......You are definitely NEVER too old to swoon.......

Posted: 7/16/2008 7:27:13 AM | I had a date with a plumber once. My toliet was sticking and kept running....had to keep jiggeling the handle. I had the parts but didn't have a clue on how to fix it and was waiting for my brother-in-law to come over to do the repair. It was driving my plumber guy crazy so he fixed it for me. I appreciated it......but it just didn't turn me on........go figure.

Posted: 7/16/2008 8:12:46 AM | I had that happen...ONCE. LOL And I swooned all over th eplace just as much. He saw my fender was loose and said "hey, I can fix that for ya". Went in his garage, got out the tools, and in 2 minutes it was all better.
Wow...that was hot.
I think the reason it gets to us is some of us spent years with dependent guys who couldn't find their as* with 2 hands, even with us telling them it was behind them. LOL So when we meet someone who is actually independent, capable, and self-reliant, we're shocked... and really pleased.
I know for me that's true, anyway.
I've learned to do so many freakin' home repairs it isn't even funny. B/c my almost ex was lazy as hell and would rather just ignore the problem then take the time to find a solution and fix it. He'd rather throw it out, then repair. Or ignore a growing problem and wait until it's unrepairable - then say "oh well, we'll just have to buy another one". Drove me BONKERS!
So I have to say, the lawnmower thing would have gotten me too! :) My almost-ex, every time he mowed, would run over something in the yard that he didn't see - like huge tableclothes that had flown off of a table. Or the BLUE tarp we kept over the firewood that had blown free. Yep. That big. And it would get all tangled in the blades, so, "oh well" he couldn't finish mowing. Then, in his typical narcissistic way, he'd tellme to fix it, that he couldn't mow til I fixed it. So that way he'd get out of any work OR responsibility for it. Because if it didn't get fixed, I was the one who was in the wrong, *I* was the reason the lawn looked awful.
Yeah...and he wonders why I want a divorce so badly. B*stard.
I'm SOOOOOOO much happier since I started fishing! :)
