Look, we're not trying to say we don't value our own ability to fix things - lots of women love their independence and will give most things a try before handing the job over to someone else. But it is definitely attractive when a man knows his way around a tool box. Whether it's some shelves that need assembling or some outdoor work, it's very nice to know that you can rely on your man to help you out in a home decorating crisis.
Just to make things clear, there's no need to be a DIY expert, but the simple ability to put things together, potentially build small objects, mow the lawn if necessary, and hang a picture or two will not go unappreciated! In addition to being attractive, being able to fix things also saves a lot of money.
