75 skills...

So today I got a link for a article someone found on the world wide web and I thought it was very interesting and I needed to share it with all of my readers.

It is "75 skills every man should master" according to a writer at Esquire magazine (Tom Chiarella.) Its actually quite funny and charming at the same time. Check it out below

Some of my favorites that he wrote were:

1. "Give advice that matters in one sentence: I got run out of a job I liked once, and while it was happening, a guy stopped me in the hall. Smart guy, but prone to saying too much. I braced myself. I didn't want to hear it. I needed a white knight, and I knew it wasn't him. He just sighed and said: When nobody has your back, you gotta move your back. Then he walked away. Best advice I ever got. One sentence. "

14. "Chop down a tree. Know your escape path. When the tree starts to fall, use it."

19. "Approach a woman out of his league. Ever have a shoeshine from a guy you really admire? He works hard enough that he doesn't have to tell stupid jokes; he doesn't stare at your legs; he knows things you don't, but he doesn't talk about them every minute; he doesn't scrape or apologize for his status or his job or the way he is dressed; he does his job confidently and with a quiet relish. That stuff is wildly inviting. Act like that guy. "

73. "Caress a woman's neck. Back of your fingers, in a slow fan."

I think you will all find it very entertaining! I know I did!
