I know the general concept of how an internal combustion engine works, I'm the one who puts things together when my mother needs it to be built, I programmed the VCR at the age of 5, and I love video games. I'm a still a girly girl. I don't work on cars because they get you dirty, I didn't become an engineer because it's a boys club, I can tolerate small amounts of programming, and I still love video games.
I am a very independent person, but I like the idea of being taken care of too. I couldn't care less if my boyfriend or husband can build a house, rewire a lamp, fix a car, or whatever. I'm much more concerned about his relationship with Christ and the health of his and my relationship.
And Arwen, Shouryu makes a good point; you're a hottie. Accept the compliment and move on.
