Not Enough of a Manly Man?

I had an unusual past experience dating that I wanted to share.

I went out with a fun and somewhat interesting woman a few times and things seemed like they were going okay; not great but good enough to keep dating to see if anything developed. On date #6 we were having a drink and getting ready to call it a night and my date started to get that "we need to talk" look on her face. After a few minutes I asked her what she was thinking about and she just came out and said "I don't think I could date someone who doesn't change the oil in his own car." Of all the things I thought she might be thinking about; that definitely wasn't one of them! I think I told her jokingly that changing oil might mess up my manicured nails and left it at that.

Now, to add a little perspective, I am an attorney and my date is a professional woman. I actually did change the oil and do other work on cars when I was probably 17 or 18 years old but don't see myself doing that now, especially when the Twelve Minute Lube will do it for you for $19.95 and save you spending hours at the sink with Lava soap to get your hands clean.

I just wonder if a man not changing the oil in his car has become a dealbreaker for a lot of women in today's dating world?
