If you do not have these skills, you are a beta.

[thorpowers]

- Change tire, oil, battery, basic vehicle maintenance.
- Know how to hunt your own food
- Understand how to use and maintain a rifle
- Understand how to use and maintain basic hand tools and power tools
- Fishing skills
- Ability to start a fire
- Throw a ball properly
- Basic understanding of World history, logic, science, and math
- Know how to grow own food (basics)
- Know how to apply a tourniquet (as well as first aid basics)
- Be able to fell a tree
- Know how to manage money
- Give a proper handshake
- Grill a proper steak
- Have integrity with your family, friends, ect
- be able to bench your body weight for at least a few reps
- Be able to squat at least 225lbs
- Financial independence (understand how to invest and grow wealth)
- Know how to work a map and compass
- Basic plumbing, electric, woodworking skills

As sad as it sounds, would be surprised if today's younger snowflake generation had even half of these skills. Honestly most of the 'what do' threads could be avoided if men were men these days and still knew how to do these things...the cucking is real

Keep up the good work if you can do 85% or greater on this list

[allianc3]

Had everything on the list until the map/compass requirement

[AD117]

Sounds mostly like a checklist for tradies

EDIT: I've got

- Understand how to use and maintain a rifle
- Throw a ball properly
- Basic understanding of World history, logic, science, and math
- Know how to apply a tourniquet (as well as first aid basics)
- Know how to manage money
- Give a proper handshake
- Grill a proper steak
- Have integrity with your family, friends, ect
- be able to bench your body weight for at least a few reps
- Be able to squat at least 225lbs
- Know how to work a map and compass
- know how to lead a relationship with your significant other

And some of those I only know because of the military. And are you kidding me with the map/compass requirement? Lol if you don't use the stars

[JasonCDT1]

Didn't read, but if "perform precision construction, maintainance and repairs in a hyperbaric environment" and "render safe UXO and IED devices in any environment" aren't on the list then it's not a real list boyo.

[kentnguyen]

Why? When I can just hire a peasant like you to do all those things for me.

[jmoneyjumpman]

If you don't have most of these skills you aren't a functional member of society

I literally have none of those skills, but I know how to fight so the opinion is null. lmao

[JayC24]

title of thread should be: if you can do at least 75% of these things, you might be a tradie

[GardHainer]

Sounds like the list a 30yo single dad would come up due to insecurities.

Do yourself a favor and stop looking at the rest of society to validate yourself. Look at what you actually like to do and focus on that.

[thorpowers]

So you do not have to rely on a man to save you in an emergency...like a female, or beta male.

[rickjamesbeech]

so basically be a redneck

[imbored21]

negged reported and ignored lol

[TacomaLust]

Hunt and use a compass? Not even once lol, I live in the city foh

[DoctorKazama]

So...Join the army/marine corps?

[GardHainer]

So you do not have to rely on a man to save you in an emergency...like a female, or beta male.

There is literally millions of systems supported by billions of people working around the clock to support your lifestyle...

But you don't rely on anything, coz youre a real man.

Actually looking at that list again, there is actually only one thing that would exist without said systems.

[HYMENATOR]

You forget your most import skill OP

- Be able to give a great blowjob

I'm 25, no kids, and have already found what i love in life, and am successful at it. You seem to be the insecure one because you may be lacking so you're projecting your inferiority complex on me. This thread is meant for awareness, you still have time to learn...

[AVOJAMACADA]

Lols its half true.

Brb alwayss lol when i help a couple etc and the guy cant do half your list. No hate as it takes all kinds to make the world turn but inside u can tell the guy feels like a clown amd the girls mirin.srs.

City yuppies will try and justify not knowng any of these things but as a big boy with a house, and vehicles, you better know how to do some basic sh!t down the road. Fuking basic life skills man...

That's what I'm saying. This is a pretty basic list IMO, that just 50 years ago pretty much all men were expected to know how to do, and do well. Not like I said "know how to rebuild a combustion engine" or "how to identify and disarm an IED" anything that would be tradie/military specific. This is just a basic list everyone should know...especially every man.

To be fair theres simply so many more services offered nowadays.

But the sheer amount of $$ guys will spend on basic stuff is retarded.

Brb 100$ oil change?get 15$ of oil and half hour and u 85$ in your pocket. (Plus do a gurls oil change on her car and watch her melt).

Not to mention independance in so many ways.

[TommyRO]

I knew how to do most of those before I was 18, but let me tell you I'd never waste my time doing any of them unless I'm stranded middle of nowhere. Changing your own oil is unfun and a waste of time and I would know did this myself for over 2 yrs. Now I just pay just lol

Lol wut?

Put on some covies (coveralls) head out to the shop, put some radio in with a brew/coffee on a sunday morning for an oil change...profit? Theres no reason for it to be longer then 10 mins either way. Only difference is 90$ lols.

[redwine91]

In to acquire skills on this list I may lack

Same, I am not saying you should necessarily do all of these all the time. If you make $500 an hour, then your time would be better spent doing whatever you do to make that $500 an hour vs changing oil. That goes back to my money management and financial independence points on the list. But no matter how much you make it's important to at least know how to do all these things so that you do not have to rely on others in an emergency when others can not rescue you or do it for you. It's more about being self reliant, because there may not always be someone there to do things for you. Me personally, I like doing these things, even though I make a lot of money via the buisness I operate.

[SmackBang77]

It's funny cuz I just changed the strainer of my kitchen sink today, I never changed a tire though (never had to), but I watched a tutorial on how to do it in case that chit happens to me.

Don't know how to change oil either... im pretty sure you need to see someone for that to properly dispose of the used oil.

Everything else checks except the 225 squat but I'm getting there

Hell yea man, thats a great mindset, and honestly with youtube and the availability of information these days there's no excuse not to...

Lol yea there's everything on YouTube, when I'm bored I'll watch vids on how to modify cars like move the tire springs down to lower your car, change the seats etc. Cars are an expensive hobby though

Btw I would add these to your list:

Shovelling snow
Jump starting a car
