That was good.

A bit serious for this thread, but really good.

Your parents gave you the chance to be whatever you are, because they gave you the chance to be.

I suck at that whole “write a sonnet” thing. But I’m still looking down at the grass, rather than up, so maybe I can learn. :-)

If only they knew what I would become? LOL

I thought the same thing. Use mass transit? Hug another man? Type with more than two fingers?

C’mon!

When a guy can maintain his own car, truck, cycle, boat AND snowmobile, he doesn’t need mass transit.

A hand shake is good enough.

If the guy has to type with more than two fingers, the chick better know to fix the washer and dryer.

Yep.

I fail 17, 23 & 30.

11. Navigate your way around an unfamiliar city without getting completely and utterly lost.

But this is how you find the best dinning establishments. The real skill it finding it again the next time.

Lazarus (RAH) was speaking in non-gender terms. lol

Another of my favorites:

Get a shot off fast. This upsets him long enough to let you make your second shot perfect.

Innocently flirt with a woman at least twice your age—Without causing offense or being disrespectful, of course.

Innocently flirt with a woman at least twice your age—Without causing offense or being disrespectful, of course.

Or hanging out in a cemetery.

I think you need some response for it to be actual flirting. Used to have underage beers in a cemtery, no one complained and the cops wouldn’t get out of their cars to look.

The only two things a man needs to be able to do is love his wife and kill the enemy.

Everything else is optional.

Got any sisters that are single

Good for you. I have a son and a daughter who are being taught the same things. I don’t differentiate. My daughter is being taught guy stuff so that if she ends up with a pansy, she won’t be be left in a jam.
All those things listed but mostly to be self reliant.
My mother killed herself and my father died shortly after and I ended up being the old guy in the family at the ripe old age of 28. It’s kinda personal. Never hurts to be prepared.

My mom had a ‘60 Falcon that could be push started.
