Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I'm interested to learn more myself. My point still stands, though. Your average modern person, including incels, couldn't assemble a flat pack from ikea without having a mental breakdown. So when someone is smart, strong, and handy? Swoon.

I once stopped my husband in the middle of a home improvement project because watching him work was such a turn on. And the project was nowhere near as difficult as building an entire bridge with rudimentary hand tools. Incels could never.
