A FEMALE mechanic has explained how her role as a woman in a predominantly male career makes her a catch — but only for the correct type of partner.
The professional auto technician and welder reflected her worldview in a TikTok that sparked universal support from viewers in its comment section.

Rene’s (@renerose15) TikTok clip begins with overlay text: “If you’re gonna try to date an independent chick, make sure you are very secure with yourself.”
“They do not need you; they want you — there’s a big difference. Independent woman is not made for an insecure man.”
This mechanic is shown welding under the video’s overlay text — a talent she displays in some other vehicle restoration videos on her TikTok.
Several viewers supported Rene’s sentiment in the video’s comment section.
One TikTok account commented: “That’s ideal. Then you know they want to be with you; otherwise, they’d be gone. No games.”
Another viewer wrote: “Amen!! I’m so tired of insecure men getting offended by my ability to do things I’ve been doing on my own… it’s not personal. I like doing stuff.”
A third viewer said: “[I’d] rather have a girl want me and not need me than need me and not want me.”
One of the most significant ways that Rene has displayed her independence on TikTok is by restoring a 1987 Chevrolet K20 pickup truck that we see in her clip.
Rene explained that she bought the Chevrolet pickup three years ago.
The female mechanic added that working on the classic model has helped her build confidence, happiness, and professional skillset while escaping the world’s weight.
