this. and anything at all related to the "fairer" sex.

But also.

Drive. See no need, don't care too.
Most financial stuff - I can do my taxes but that's about it. Never taken a loan out. Never put a down payment on anything. Never signed any major legal documents (like a mortgage and such)

Cook

I know how to do basic stuff but anything that doesn't have directions or isn't basic I don't know how to do. I hate cooking so that plays a lot into it.

You're kind of splitting hairs with that answer.

You already know how to let a man sex you...and since you're always the catcher, not the pitcher...:p

See above I can't drive :) But the instructions are with your manual.

Haha, I know, but I've never bothered to read that section. I did change my headlights the other day though.

Can change headlights but not oil?? That's an odd one. ;)

Navigate a subway system. Never been on a subway before. Otherwise, so far I can do everything anyone's mentioned so far.

except - I don't know how to make sauerkraut without a recipe - not that I'm *ever* going to make rotted cabbage.

I hate these types of questions because of the nature of the posters here. Sometimes it's hard to tell if people are serious, kidding, or just can't comprehend English.

Just look at some of the answers so far. There are some pretty retarded ones there and then you've got ones like field dress game or build a deck. I highly doubt most of the population knows how to do either, especially city dwellers.

You know starting a fire is something I've been meaning to teach myself some day soon. I mean starting one from sticks and rocks. It would be such a great feeling to be able to do that.

Tie a tie. I have one someone tied for me, and it sits in my closet still tied for job interviews and such.

Looks at DrPizza.... looks at profile... Looks at DrPizza....looks at profile... Looks at DrPizza...

Ok I'm just joking. I know you live in Upstate New York. Still seeing someone from New York who's never been on a subway still sounds funny to an outsider ;)
