Basic Man Skills

[jjones]

Being able to belch and/or fart at will.

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.

Farting at will is kind of difficult. How do you swallow air with your asshole?

That skill is well practiced in his family.

Know how to pee standing up.
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.

No... it's a necessary man skill, like highlighting your spiked hair? C'mon.

 

Every man should know how to fish.

 

[NL5]

Know how to properly "tickle the bean"!

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.

 

[Mookow]

How to fish, and how to hunt. And, of course, how to prepare those dead animals into a meal.

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.
