[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here lies the problem with these lists- men say they want a drama free, self sufficient woman.  But these the hot/crazy ratio (the hotter a woman is the crazier she can get away with being) is a real thing.  All of these logical wants go out the window for a beautiful woman- she can be crazy, helpless and worthless and her looks make up for that.

And in my experience I’ve found that men can feel very emasculated by a competent woman.  Men need to be needed, just like women do.  And when you have a woman who can basically do any of the traditionally male tasks what’s left for the man?   [/quote]

My DH is emasculated when I do something as simple as assemble an IKEA bookshelf, paint a wall or the drive my manual transmission car. He says to hire people to do x, y, z but is rejects everything based on estimates. It is a no win situation.[/quote]

My spouse was like this because he thought socially he is supposed to be mowing the lawn, fixing the sink, taking the car in. 
But over the years it was apparent to both of us that he never even ID’s broken stuff or things in need of repair or maintenance. It piled up due to him not wanting to be emasculated. But then we needed a home appraisal and paid through the nose for 20 hours of work that I didn’t have time to do while working, homeschooling, and living. 
Now we’re back to steady state where I do everything and he doesn’t even notice cars get oil changes, grills get cleaned, grass gets cut, paint touch ups appear, screens come on/off seasonally, the roof was replaced in a 3 bid process, snow is shoveled, leaky toilets fixed. No emasculation since he doesn’t even care or notice! What a “man”![/quote]
