34 Things Every Man Should Know How To Do

This week I turned 34 years of age.  I thought I might celebrate my past 34 years while passing on 34 things I think every man (and woman) should learn. 

1.     Throw a football/baseball (nothing sadder than a man that can’t throw)

2.     Sew on a button (It’s not feminine it’s a necessity)

3.     Back up a trailer

4.     Cook at least seven different meals from scratch

5.     Tie on a fishing lure

6.     Throw a punch

7.     Manage money (Spend only 70 percent of what you earn)

8.     Simple auto trouble shooting (change a tire, jump start a car, change the oil)

9.     Shoot a gun

10. Dress properly including how to tie a tie and shine his shoes

11. Read a map (GPS systems have made our society map illiterate)

12. Laundry including  hot to iron clothing

13. Play poker

14. Basic house repairs (fix a toilet, hang a ceiling fan, fix a leak)

15. Tie basic knots

16. Drive a manual transmission vehicle

17. What it's like to Win

18. How to start a fire

19. Write a proper sentence

20. Basic sports trivia (even if you don’t like sports know something to add to any sport conversation)

21. CPR and basic first aid

22. How to defend themselves in a fight (see my post about self-defense)

23. Change diapers

24. What it's like to Lose

25. Take a person down

26. Pitch a tent

27. Turn clothing into a flotation device

28. Speak in public

29. Bake

30. Balance a checkbook

31. Field dress an animal

32. Grow a garden

33. Give complements

34. Let go (inanition’s, bad friends, past wrongs, regrets, and fears)

If you have any to add I would love to hear some.

It’s been over a year, since I have added to The White Collar Choke.  I plan to start writing on here much more in the future.  Thanks for taking the time to checkout The White Collar Choke.
