| THINGS ALL MEN SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DO WELL
Posted: 5/17/2008 10:41:11 PM | I have polished toe nails and given massages. I can massage the parts that want it without straying to the "naughty bits."
I am a good, safe driver and know my alcohol limits, when sailing. (where is my rolling eyes emoicon?)
I can write poems and songs. Only 3 things stop me from being a great writer:
Spelling, punctuation and grammar.  I can pretend to listen for hours.
I can be, "just friends."
I can forget the things you want me to remember and remember the things you'd rather I forget.
I can  without grabbing your a$$ and  without slipping the tongue. I'd rather not, but I can do it.
I can walk down a boardwalk lined with young babes in "butt floss and band aids" , holding your hand, and my head will not turn. (dark sunglasses and great peripheral vision)
I can order wine to go with a meal. "Waiter, what do you suggest?"
I can, I know, NONE of you gals will believe this, I can ASK FOR DIRRECTIONS!
I can change a tire, oil, flush coolant. I can fix anything on any motorized vehicle with a Shop Manual, the proper tools and rubber gloves. (I hate grease under the nails.)
I can spot Marine Mammals from miles away, follow them without running them over or scaring them, tell you a lot about them and give you the Latin (scientific) for them.
I can hold your hair while you are getting seasick.
I can make you smile when you don't want to and make you cry when you don't want to.
I can shut up right now. | |

Posted: 6/3/2008 11:51:30 PM | Hi!
I was shown the list from Esquire magazine by a woman I date.
We went over it and I think I can do all the things on the list with the exception of a few that do not interest me that much as they are sports-related and I cannot watch sports or the teams I like LOSE.
As far as the athletic activties I enjoy participating in. . .well, they were not listed. . .
Yes.
I agree with the posters re: men should have a list for women, men putting up with women who have an odd sense of humor and the whole bit about women making an effort to actually meet and find men such as those of us who score high on the list.
(Am I available NOW? Does your profile have a picture? lol) | |

Re: changing a flat tire:
It's one thing to KNOW how to do it. . .HOWEVER, as someone who PAYS for car insurance I have to tell you I already PAY for roadside assistance so don't think I am going to change a tire when I already am paying someone else to do it.
Finally, how sexy is pissing away money when it isn't being pissed away on YOU? | |

Posted: 6/4/2008 5:03:11 PM | Here's a link to the article: http://www.esquire.com/features/essential-skills-0508
I found the it interesting that the basic practices of being a gentleman were omitted along with the ability to show humility and actually mean it. Empathize. Practice random acts of kindness without expectations or the need to mention it to others.
My particular failures according to this list...
Know a woman's dress size - This is right up there with don't borrow trouble.
Tie a bow tie - This skill is better left to a woman. It presents a man with the opportunity to place his hands on a woman's hips and gaze adoringly into her eyes while lavishing her with compliments. It is also an opportunity for telling feedback.
A. She'll enjoy pampering her man and indulge in the intimacy of the moment
B. She make a derisive comment about your inability to dress yourself.
Both should give you a good indication of just how the evening is going to progress. | |

What commercials? DVR's made them obsolete. Besides, putting a three minute time limit on a conversation is just wrong...well unless you're talking to my sister, then it's necessary. | |

Posted: 6/4/2008 10:04:28 PM | Good point! I was thinking about during ball games and CSI and such. I forgot if programs are pre-record with TIVO or DVR with no commercials, OH! BLISS, then the mute button is not needed.
I was not suggesting a 3 minute time limit. If a lively and interesting conversation ( or a moment of passion) happens to erupt in the middle of a commercial break , why not just carry on and forget about that program you were watching. What if the TV were off for an entire night or even a week? Couples would have to actually talk to each other!  | |

Wow.... a recording device? ...You... could... actually.... watch the BIG game AFTER the conversation with your sweetheart?
OT: Must know how to set up DVR's properly... and not just program the d@mned things to record sports! | |

Are you kidding? I record everything I watch just so I can get through the commercials! I have my priorities firmly in place. Human interaction certainly trumps the big screen. Conversing with my lips is what I do. Whether its with the spoken word or sign language.  | |
