I can't think of anything more sexy than a man who can turn my dark, dingy basement into a living space.

My husband is not that person.

I'm the handyman here. What does that say about me?
"Luckily, I didn't have to choose" ….(brown-noser). Very sweet.

My husband is a definite Red Green. Actually, at least Red attempts to fix things, we just pay someone to do most of the work.

My husband is really, really handy.

Except that he spends all his time at work and doesn't want to spend his precious few hours with us doing chores. So I do them if at all possible. I finagle the budget to be able to hire things done that he could do, so that he can spend an extra four hours with us on Saturday instead. (Unless it's a chore the kids can help him with.)

It's a good thing he's handsome, too. And smart. ~Dreamy sigh.

This is clearly a trick question. Whatever it is I have now, I'll keep him. As a former engineer he is frustratingly only interested in being handy when it comes to things that could burn down the house or cause explosions or involve climbing on the roof. Other than that, he'll change light bulbs. Other than that, I'll take handsome.

I remember Red Green! See, now look what you’ve done…I’ve got to go to YouTube and see if anything of his is on there…

Knowing that I’m safe and my husband won’t read this…my husband is drop-dead gorgeous, and handy in that he knows that when something needs fixin’ around these parts, he picks up the cell phone and calls someone else to fix it. This is wonderful to me, as so many of his “Oh, I can fix that!” projects have turned into a “Home Improvement” plot, but much worse. Of course, I THOUGHT he was handy when he said he was and it would be no trouble fixing up our 140-year-old fixer-upper house…

He’s good with computers though. Definitely a computer geek, but a good-looking one. So I keep him around.

My mom always watched him, so I would too! It was so funny and stupid at the same time, you about die laughing!

I suppose mine is handsome, since I believe myself to be handier than him. Thanks a lot, Dad!

I actually chose handsome, but over the fifteen years we've been together, he's evolved in to quite the handyman. If I had to choose over again today, I definitely think the ability to unclog a toilet or replace my brake pads would trump a pretty face any day.

Definitely handy. At some point, looks go. There's nothing sexier than a man who can rewire a ceiling fan or build a flower box.
