Basic man skills, not basic child skills.

Service his car
Pleasure a woman
Repair and installwork around the house
Take good care of his kids

If you can do that, you got yourself a life.

Bingo, but may I add, bring home the bacon.

Know how to procreate. 😀

I know more than one person that I wouldn't classify as a man that has procreated.

procreation is easy. Now raising a child into an adult - now THAT is something...
 
One of the guys here at work asked me to post this:

Leave the "I'm not a homo" seat between you and your friend when you go to the movies.😱
 
Regardless of personal interests, it's a good list. Examples: I'm not into football either, but I could tell you who won the last few superbowls as well as history's more memorable ones. I'm not a mechanic, but I can change a flat or my oil - these are basics of their respective fields, it's not like he's saying you should be able to install a turbocharger or repair a transmission, or list Unitas's pass completion percentages for each year he played..

Additions:
How to make a bowl out of whatever's handy; tin foil, a soda can, etc.
How to clean & gut game and fish (I'm admittedly completely lacking on this one, if you gave me a dead fish or rabbit I'd try to trade it for some ramen noodles, but it still seems like a cool man-skill 😛)
How to wipe in the woods without getting skidmarks (bad) or poison ivy/sumac (worse).

Anyone rich person can adopt... only a MAN can have sex and do it the easy way. 😀

Know how to properly use a circular saw, table saw, drill, hammer, tape measure, and level. With those, you can build a ton of stuff, and always have a needed skill if your field of work gets slow.

These should be on there before any of that car stuff.

If you're not a homo, why are you going to the movies with a guy? 😉

j/k but the theater I go to is usually too crowded to do that.

A real man can acquire and defend his own territory 😛

Trust me, anyone 13 can have sex and end up with a baby just the same way.
