    So I've decided to make a list of cool things that a man should be able to do, and I need some help deciding what those things actually are. Cos I want to learn how to do them. I'm not really talking about stuff like changing the oil in a car, but more random things. Doesn't have to be tremendously useful, but practical in a "well, that's another way of doing things" kinda way (see no. 1). I'll start of with two, and people here can add their own.

    1. Be able to tell the time from the sun.
    2. Be able to tell the direction from the sky (sun, stars etc)
    3. Be able to to sew a button on a shirt.

    Those are my three Anymore to add?

    Cook well. It's not that hard. Check out food wishes for recipes, or Chef Todd for cooking methods. Start on his first videos and work up. It's really not that hard if you work on it.

    Wear whatever he wants without giving a **** about what others think, as he is comfortable with himself. The amount of Irish men that dont wear pink as they dont want to "seem gay" is ridiculous
