I'm a guy and I have no idea how to change a tire because I don't have a car OR license

Too ugly to get flown out? Sucks for you.

Idk I think women do have the required strength for it, they're just socialized from an early age not to use their muscles properly
>>
>>83853331
It's totally this. Automobile manufacturers are aware that half of drivers are female and design their tire change kits so that an average woman can, in theory, use it. The helplessness is learned.

>>83853024
either watch a youtube video or call for help im sure Triple A will show up
>>
>>83853331
it's weird but this is the only possible explanation for why grown women don't use or exert their muscles properly. You watch them play sports and they move with the coordination of a new born giraffe. but this is even more strange because something like ballet is predominantly female and requires a ton of skill and muscle.

If my tire went flat I probably wouldn't realize what was wrong and if I did then I would ask grok what to do. I would see if there's a service that will come to me. But I'm no girl
>>
>>83853024
They definitely can, but only if they have already been taught/learned the skill. For a very weak person it's going to be EXTREMELY finicky, heavy, and difficult. But once you know the technique even a small and weak person can do it very easily. Also depends extremely much on the car, a wheel can weigh anywhere from 5kg to 30kg+ depending on the size and type of tire. Basically you need to know how to balance the wheel on the hub without having it fall down, and then place your foot, a rock, or something to stabilize the wheel, on the underside so that it doesn't tip "inwards" at the top, and then you can easily apply the bolts/nuts.

Since everyone is raised by a single mother now, they should be able to change a tire because that's the first thing that happens when you're with your single parent: a tire blows out on the road and you have to change it to the spare on the spot. I did that quite a few times as a child, so I was like well versed in tire changing before I was even in fucking highschool.

Another limiting factor can be how rusty/stuck the lug nuts are, and the tools you have available. If you're very weak you will need a wrench with a much longer lever than what you normally keep in your car.
>>
>>83853024
Tires aren't that heavy. Spare wheel weights like maybe aaround 30kg so they should be easily able to get it out of/into car considering you sometimes see mothers carrying few yo children which probably weight around the same, and once it's outside you can roll it.
Only problem might be screws tightened too much, but if they learned basic physics like lever principle, they wouldn't have problem with this as well, it just requires to throw pipe or something similarly long you can put on wrench handle to extend it suffciiently.
If they can't change tire then it's learned helplessness.
>>
>>83855486
true you're right they would just need a longer wrench handle for the lug nuts

>>83854517
thanks for the advice lol. I'm a man but I worry about my foid and shit like this, I'll give her a really long pipe and walk it through with her one day. oh I should get her a long pipe for the lug nut wrench too.
