MEN:Why are you OFFENDED by A WOMAN LOCKSMITH?

Some men may be insecure. Perhaps it is emasculating for them to see a women competently performing a job that they themselves feel that they should be able to do, as a man. I think it is an ego thing, like when my boyfriend can't get the pasta sauce jar open and I walk by and open it for him. Men want to be the stronger ones, and they want to be the ones getting people (women) out of a predicament, not the other way around. It's a sign of immaturity and insecurity.

It probably goes back to the days of chastity belts. We didn't want women to have the knowledge to get out of them.

I don't know about everyone else…but a woman locksmith is a turn on for me. I know you're married, but a woman lock picker sounds sexy to me.

One it makes men feel less handy.
Two it gives you access to mens houses and cars a lot more. So cheating on you is kind of a bad idea.
Three if someone does cheat on you, well your not going to have a problem ransacking the house or car on the inside rather than the eggs that are sometimes busted on the outside.

Ok its the "one of the guys syndrome". Amongst many male groups being able to pick locks and hot wire cars is a measure of maleness.

To be out done by a woman will only dent their ego's further.

Why anyone would think they have some inherent natural ability to pick locks is beyond me but I can do it

This is easy… most men need a locksmith when they have…locked their keys in car/house…. or lost their keys….or are kicking someone out of the house.

This can be embarrassing. So when a woman shows up they are embarrassed!

This is not a good reason… but most likely THE reason.

A woman with power tools and the knowledge to use them is Schweet!
Ok, all kidding aside, that is life , in the Christian, Judeo , Muslim or whatever politic,religion that is in effect, the guys at least want to think they are some higher form of being. I do not agree with this nor do I ascribe to such petty insecurities.
If a person can make a key or fix a lock that person is a locksmith. Pretty simple logic there.
I have been with women in situations that alot of the guys that I know would not be able to cope with. We all bleed blood, we all have skin, we all have brains, some use them.
I prefer to be around the people that use there minds.

if you love your job do it ..if you get flack , do it . Take no notice gal.. They are jelous.. Anyway if they are trouble lockem up..lol,

male view ok

there are already some great answers here, so let me just add what hasn't been mentioned here: the Freudian angle. Guys like their penises and they prefer women stick to having vaginas. You get to carry around a big set of penises, and can pick any hole you see fit. That leaves a man feeling pretty inadequate with just his one that he only gets in a few holes a week if he's lucky. I imagine the rude comments go along this line.
