Kind of... Every time my car breaks down, something interesting happens.
Funny you should mention that...last night me and a few friends were at the drive-in and one of them was a lady auto mechanic. We were across the row from a group of guys who were trying with all their might to jump start their truck. After watching for a few minutes (and hearing the girlfriend on the phone to her Dad) we walked over and fixed the situation.
I felt bad for the poor guys...but lady mechanics rule

Once I was on the road with 3 female friends and one of the women's husband when we got a flat tire. Guess who changed it... His 7 or 8 months pregnant wife! She was the only one among us capable of doing it...
I just got a flat tire a week ago and it turned out the spare was worthless, too, so I had to get one. The first dudes I went to were going to give me a spare for free, but they couldn't find one. I didn't really feel like buying a new tire for a spare and was pretty confident I'll get one for free if I'm persistent, but I didn't feel like going to more places after a female mechanic found me a used one for 30 bucks. She was a very cool girl - a completely different type than I am and a type I don't normally get along with or get the time of the day from. She had short and spiky hair, was covered in tattoos, said she was riding a motorcycle, etc. We kind of bonded over being fellow smokers, but I don't know for sure if she was straight... Might've been a different version of the regular deal or maybe she was just sweet...
#1 is not for me at all. To me if he can't follow his instincts on his own that's his issue.
#2 I'm in America and going by many guys attitude towards sex, affection, and relationships I advise all the gals I know against this. My advice that has actually lead to happy & healthy relationships is to use sex as currency and a reward/punishment. I rarely see the opposite advice leading to happy & healthy relationships just dissatisfied and frustrated gals. Though that may be because most of the guys the gals I advise encounter see sex as a duty/obligation so to me it's goose & gander on having a benefiting view.
#3 I agree with unfortunately most gals I know in relationships/marriages find out it doesn't work the other way around when it's her time. Though the married gals rarely have any time of their own anyways so it's not a real issue to me.
List your key insights and advice that you believe women MUST understand in order to effortlessly relate to us.
I'll start:
1.) Ignite his protective, nurturing instinct.
2.) Never use sex as currency or to reward/punish him.
3.) Respect his need for personal time for hobbies and other creative endeavors.
A man will tolerate nearly anything a woman does if she obeys rules 1 and 2. He will give her a blank check if she additionally obeys rule 3.
Not sure about #1, it really depends on the guy. Some guys do like intimidatingly successful women (who spank them :P).
Partially agree with #2, my advice would be to use sex as carrots all you like but never as a stick.
#3: true! but that applies to everyone o.o guys, girls, old people, your parents, your BFF, that stranger across the street... no one should disrespect another human being's personal time for hobbies...
#1 is kinda vague, how exactly does a girl do that? Like stub her toe & cry about it so the guy will come to the rescue & kiss her toes?
By not being too vociferous about how "independent" she is' how she does not need a man; not resenting or hating her femininity or seeing it as a weakness, etc.

Re: #1 -- "Igniting" can also be interpreted as "not suppressing."
Re: #2 -- When a woman needlessly withholds sex from a man his first though, even if fleeting, is "Where else can I get some?"
Re: #3 -- True. However some women can become quite resentful of a husband's/boyfriend's interests that remove focus from her.

Sorry, but after reading this, I can't help but picturing a boy, writing a note to his parents after a bad day...
1.) I am mighty and powerful - don't you ever forget it, I have a magic wand - just watch me.
2.) ..And don't you ever try to take candies away from me when I've been bad..
3.) The toys are all mine, and when I'm playing with toys, I shouldn't be bothered, because it's important. And so that you wouldn't bother me with dinner and stuff, I can even close the door if I want to.
( Sorry again - nothing personal OP, just thinking about my son...)

She was the only one among us capable of doing it...
