To find this alarmingly sexy?

[IvanovaIsAlwaysRight]

I am a 41-year old feminist who's done all the reading about socialisation and gender stereotyping and yadda yadda yadda. DH put a magnetic knife strip up in the kitchen yesterday and was looking all solid and competent whilst wielding a drill and wearing a jumper. I was overcome by a desire to shag him.*

I'm hormonal and it had been a while, so I'm hoping that that was what was behind it, rather than me contemplating a future where I am turned on by the sight of fortysomething men engaged in minor acts of DIY. Saying that, I've asked him to think about putting up some shelves

*Unfortunately we have friends, and they were on their way.

I'm extraordinarily good at booking tradesmen off of Ratedpeople and simultaneously* opening bottles of champagne.

Surely at least an 8 on the phwooar scale, no?

*They're always men. I've never even had a bid from a woman.

Unfortunately we have friends

Oh, I'm so sorry op, that must be very difficult for you

😆

On my the arm behind the passenger seat whilst I'm sat there thing ... every time! I too love a man who can sort shit out and says things like "it has got to be right"

Women like competent men who do stuff. This isn't new (and I don't think it's anti feminist either) so I do confess that I wonder why so many women seem to end up with incompetent ones who don't do anything. Threads about that every day.

Anyone else swoon at a really masterfully played hand of bridge while you're his partner in dummy?

Um....well, never mind then.
