25 Skills Every Man Should Know

Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know

this list is funny due to it's context. What if they had a list of stuff a woman should know how to do. Like stuff a turkey, iron my slacks, dust the curtains, etc.

I just don't care to do many of these things. Help get a car unstuck? WTF does that mean?

women don't need to know very much:

1. cook
2. clean
3. ****

These are things that you should be able to know. Some of them are money savers.

Getting a car unstuck is pretty self explanatory. If you drive a truck, and you need to get a family member who might be stuck in an embankment or in the mud, you need to be able to get them out. Hooking up the chains, knowing where to put the chains under the other persons car, etc.

my car died a mile from my house, and instead of pushing it through traffic, I called a free AAA tow truck. Alot of this stuff deals with options of convenience, and it just seems like a list you'd find mentioned on the Colbert Report or something.

Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know

I think it's very relevant.

17-25

18 here, and I think I could learn the rest fairly easily....

I've never changed my oil, but it's not rocket science. I just pay people who know what they're doing (and do other things) rather than spend my time changing oil. I'm not into cars enough, and I respect the experts.

Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know

I'm only nineteen, so I've got other people to do most of those things for me, but I think I can do about nine of the twenty five right now.

Once I actually have to worry about my own house, my own car, my own family, etc...I think that number will increase drastically, but at the moment I don't really need to know how to do most of those.

Glad satisfy a woman wasn't on the list, that would have been another one I had yet to do.

Hmm... I wonder what you're list would be had you been typing this with your GF and/or wife right behind you?

And not necessarily in that order. I can put up with being messy and hungry for awhile...

Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know

I can probably do 10 of those things.

Some of them I've already done (#2, #5, #11, #16, #21, #23). For #23, I've done more kayaking but I'm just going to add that in with paddling a canoe.
