"Dear Single John, Do men find it unattractive when women do home repairs, like sewer pipe repair, roofing, or landscaping? Or do they just prefer the manicured types? - Missfixit Misfit I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know if anyone out there finds sewer pipe repair sexy, but I&amp;amp;#8217;m on board with everything else. In fact, there are tons of traditional &amp;amp;#8220;guy&amp;amp;#8221; things I find totally sexy when undertaken by women. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve even provided a list below, but I want to make clear, I see the following as &amp;amp;#8220;guy&amp;amp;#8221; things in name only. When I say &amp;amp;#8220;traditional,&amp;amp;#8221; I mean traditional until the 1960s. There&amp;amp;#8217;s no judgment here, implied or otherwise, about what women can and should do. 1. House Repairs I have a hard time answering this particular query, Misfixit, because I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never shared a house with a woman. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve shared an apartment, but we rented, so if anything went wrong, we could call the super. That said, if I came over and a woman was rewiring her house, or fixing her bike, or taming lions, I&amp;amp;#8217;d be into it. I think self-assured, self-possessed women, who know what they like to do and what they are into are always sexy, no matter what they&amp;amp;#8217;re doing. Every time I log on to match.com, the homepage has a woman lying on the grass with the quotation &amp;amp;#8220;Mowing the lawn is very therapeutic.&amp;amp;#8221; Considering this is the homepage of a site where millions of guys go to find women, I&amp;amp;#8217;m guessing I&amp;amp;#8217;m not the only one who feels this way. 2. Male Scents As I reported on Fashionista earlier this summer, men and women are tending to wear gender-neutral &amp;amp;#8220;scents&amp;amp;#8221; not perfume and cologne respectively. I like very few scents, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s a turn on for me, and a nice surprise, when a woman&amp;amp;#8217;s scent is a little more masculine (this does not, and I repeat NOT mean stronger; strong scents, e.g. too much perfume, make me nauseous and give me an instant headache). 3. Play Hard Along with those other manufactured scents, I like her musk as well. Gotta say, I like it when they sweat. Sounds a little gross, I know, but seeing a woman really go at it, on the soccer field, tennis court, dancing, or just running on the sidewalk, really does it for me. I mean who wants to hang with someone who does things half-assed? 4. Pay I&amp;amp;#8217;m not cheap, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think. I do a lot of paying. But I&amp;amp;#8217;ll admit, I kinda like it when we&amp;amp;#8217;re out at a bar, and she says, &amp;amp;#8220;Can I buy you a drink?&amp;amp;#8221; I like the confidence of someone who knows she doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t have to play a role. Also, it doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t have to mean anything about income, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s a turn on for me when a woman could take me out, and it doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t have to be just me doing the taking out. 5. Being Bold in Bed By this I don&amp;amp;#8217;t mean you need to start tossing him around, treating his body parts like they&amp;amp;#8217;re yours, or investing in new accoutrements, I mean that you can take control in the bedroom and it can be sexy. You can be the one who&amp;amp;#8217;s in charge, ties him up, dishes out the spankings, decides what goes where and when&amp;amp;#8212;it can be hot when a woman is physically dominating. What guy behavior do you enjoy engaging in? Do you think it&amp;#x27;s ever sexy? Are there any &amp;quot;girl&amp;quot; behaviors that you like when guys do? Have a question for Single John?
