We all want our men to master everything around the house, from DIY and cooking to looking after the kids, but apparently, we also want them to be good lovers too. At least, that’s what I thought until I did a little online search and found a magazine article in Marie Claire. It was on a survey about what women preferred from their partner, and the results were surprising.
According to the article, the survey revealed that having a man who’s pretty handy with all things DIY is a bonus. The survey also found that four out of five women said they would be disappointed if their partner didn’t even know the basics like being able to paint a wall or put of a small shelf!
'Many people believe a strong connection in the bedroom is the key to a long and successful relationship, but for some women this doesn't seem to be the case,' says a representative for LocalTraders.com, the service that carried out the survey.
Some of the other stats I had a look at seemed a little more eccentric. 12% of women said they would rather have a man who was good at DIY than one who was just a good lover. I thought the number of people coming out with that answer would be slightly higher as I know a lot of women like men that can handle power tools and the likes, while my friends thought it would be close to 0%!
Something else I spotted was that there’s a fine line between being good at home improvement and it being a full-blown obsession. One in five women worried about their partner spending more time on maintaining the house than the relationship, which seems about right!
