    It’s probably too rare. Like, woodworking is somewhat rare, but to do that you just need a basement or a shed or a garage or something. Blacksmithing actually requires a forge, so I’m assuming that far fewer people actually do it.

    With it being so rare, I bet that the women who don’t have any experience with a man who’s into blacksmithing don’t think to mention it, or haven’t really thought of it. And the ones who do have experience have had a mixed experience. Blacksmithing is loud and dirty so I bet the charm wears off quickly.
