The 75 Skills Every Man Should Master

I am down with most of the items on this list.   Here are a few of my favorites:

11. Swim three different strokes. Doggie paddle doesn't count.

17. Make one drink, in large batches, very well.

35. Jump-start a car (without any drama). Change a flat tire (safely). Change the oil (once).

44. Ask for help.

Guys who refuse to ask for help are the most cursed men of all. The stubborn, the self-possessed, and the distant. The hell with them.

49. Say no. 

75. Negotiate a better price. Be informed. Know the price of competitors. In a big store, look for a manager. Don't be an asshole. Use one phrase as your mantra, like "I need a little help with this one." Repeat it, as an invitation to him. Don't beg. Ever. Offer something: your loyalty, your next purchase, even your friendship, and, with the deal done, your gratitude.
