your list sounds hick-ish by the way.

LOL hickish?

Some of them are just basic survival skills, some are just common male-bonding activities, and others are things that - as a man - any respectable woman will (rightfully) expect of you.

However, in Emo-Emo courtships, none of these will be necessary so you and your pink hair should be good to go.

Tell your woman if she wants a nice juicy steak (or slab of manmeat) she should feel free to call me.

ah please, my time is much better spent sitting in a chic bar or hanging out at a nice club in the meat packing district. money can accomplish everything. who needs to know how to grill a steak if you have a zagat's?
Are you a well-off single old dude?

oh, i am embracing yuppie-hood.

It sounds like it's embracing you...

um yah, ok. survival skills? please tell me how balancing a check book, knowing how to tie a tie, opening a bottle of champagne, or fixing a two stroke head has anything to do w/ survival?

I said SOME are survival skills. Reading comprehension FTW.

For example, changing a tire and starting a fire would most certainly be considered survival skills.

Not just open a door for a lady (any female) but how to treat them with respect.

Know how to put his family before his own priorities.

Enjoy your place at the bar. You'll probably be there for a very, very long time. Even the gold-digging-est of women can appreciate a man with basic, fundamental skills. I'd love to see your face when your woman wants to hang a shelf and you're scared of the drill.

"I'll just pay someone to do it."
"Pussy."

Oh, and you can make plenty of money and still be a respectable card-carrying man. I make a hair under six-figures and live quite comfortably. If job quality/security wasn't as important to me as it is, I could easily tag $125k. If I've learned one thing up until now, though, it's that money certainly isn't everything.

You're also oblivious to the fact that plenty of the world's wealthiest men built themselves from the ground up and would have very little respect for an idiot who can't even cook his own family a good BBQ or put together a swingset for his boy.

end an argument with an obviously insecure person, who still thinks MONEY defines them as a person.

It's essential if you're an executive, lawyer, doctor, corporate sales, etc.

But even if you're not, it's still a very common male bonding activity. My boss, several coworkers, father in-law, brothers-in-law (8), and grandfather all play golf. Additionally, so does our entire sales team and many of our clients. When weather permits, many deals at my company are drawn and sealed by the 9th hole.

Yup. I used to work a manufacturing facility where the plant manger along with several other managers kept a set of golf clubs their cars. They would often go golfing with customers to discuss business. Knowing how to golf can be very beneficial in some positions.

- remove a mouse/rat (small creature) from the house/apt without being remotely scared
- a true man does things to frustrate or fuzz up his wife/GF purposely and gets away with it
- has a job and makes money for the family
- assists in the care of children or pets
- drive any motorized vehicle atleast decently and keep it on a road (most do struggle with this)
- like action packed movies over the tear jerker
- drink beer...anykind of beer would almost suffice in my opinion (stomach growls at the thought of some beers)

shrug, that is just a quick list to add to what is already done.

edit...5/5 by the way. those original 5 arent that rough

Exactly... and it's something that people in both blue collar and white collar work participate in. In my case, it was the only way I was going to really get to know my wife's family. They live and breathe golf. Same goes for a few of my neighbors, now that I think about it. We all started talking and hanging out because we saw the clubs in each other's garages.

For my company's sales team, you can't dispute the benefits for a split second. In fact, one of our salespeople is an ex-pro. You wouldn't believe how much of a conversation centerpiece that is when he's with clients. It's practically money in the bank!!!

Every man should know the difference between grilling and barbecuing.

BBQ - slow cook
Grill - cook the piss out of it at first and then let it cook the insides itself

Jbourne's right, if you can't do most of those things, you're not a man. You are indeed a pussy. Believe it or not, both sexes have their places and while it's perfectly fine to do other tasks every once in a while, you have to be responsible enough to learn to do ****** on your own. I call you lazy and you know what? You probably do make more money than I do, but my steak's will kick Fagat's ass, I've got a great gf and I have everything I could want at this point in time, AND I'M 19! If it took you that long to get money, which makies you happy, I don't think I could stand wasting my life away like that...

you think 125k a year is a lot of money? i will be pulling at least 140k with the annual bonus, and that is based on an average year. and oh, i am 22. say all you can about greed or the fact that money doesn't matter. people who say money doesnt matter don't have any. calling me insecure? i think it takes a very secure person to put all that out in the open.

oh and if you want a easy $100, i will let you pop my collar before i go out every night.

Boasting about your fat income is a sure sign of insecurity. Congrats on your lucrative career. May I suggest you use your first bonus to buy some class?
