Have you come across women who find it quite endearing that their partner is hopeless at anything DIY?
When I were a lad I felt a certain responsibility to be able to learn to decorate, change fuses, put up shelves, etc. Same with cars - change a wheel, change oil, etc.
Now one hears women talking of how hopeless their partner is in an endearing manner. ("He tried to fit a shelf ant it ended up costing us £300 because he drilled through the water pipe" - laughter all round!)
