Things a Man should be able to do. Skills for Men - Things Men Should Be Able to Do - Esquire
I can do damn near all of the things on this list but the ones I cant I really cant.
65-67 Throw a ball, throw a spiral, shoot a jump shot.
I can do the first two but replace the last one with shoot a double leg then I can do all three.
Re: Things a Man should be able to do. The toughies
11. Swim three different strokes. Doggie paddle doesn't count.
I can backstroke, otherwise you'll find me at the bottom of the pool or lake.
16. Tie a bow tie.
Ah, has anyone heard of clip-ons ?
32. Describe a glass of wine in one sentence without using the terms
How about, What do have on tap?
63. Deliver a eulogy.
I'd lose it before I even started. Can't handle that stuff.

Re: Things a Man should be able to do. Things that I can't do:
4. Score a baseball game - I used to know, but its been a long time
16. Tie a bow tie. - I never had to and suspect I never will
20. Sew a button - I probably could do this if I tried, but I never have
32. Describe a glass of wine in one sentence without using the terms nutty, fruity, oaky, finish, or kick - I rarely drink wine or I am not pretentious enough to try to describe it.
65-67. Throw a baseball over-hand with some snap. Throw a football with a tight spiral. Shoot a 12-foot jump shot reliably. Since my shoulder surgery I have trouble throwing balls except underhand
Re: Things a Man should be able to do. Swim three different strokes? How does that make you a man? You will never -- never -- need to know more than the backstroke or frontstroke unless you are a pro swimmer.
You do the math..... I'll do the alfredo!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Re: Things a Man should be able to do. You should know the side stroke too.
Re: Things a Man should be able to do. That's a stroke? OK then I know three.
You do the math..... I'll do the alfredo!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Re: Things a Man should be able to do. 44!
Re: Things a Man should be able to do. Help me out with #44, what is it?Originally Posted by bluestater
44. Ask for help.
Guys who refuse to ask for help are the most cursed men of all. The stubborn, the self-possessed, and the distant. The hell with them.

Re: Things a Man should be able to do. How did this list get put together without "kill, clean, and cook an animal/catch, clean, and cook a fish".
