Esquire's 75 Skills Every Man Should Master

Esquire has listed 75 skills that a man should know how to do. Here's a partial list, some of which I can do:

1. Give advice that matters in one sentence.
5. Name a book that matters.
7. Cook meat somewhere else other than the grill. (I can microwave but I guess I'd be cheating with that answer).
14. Chop down a tree.
16. Tie a bow tie
27. Play gin with an old guy.
38. Tell a joke.
46. Tell a woman's dress size

Maybe, just maybe I have (or had) about half the skills the Esquire article lists.

Why Do Men Prefer Blondes and Other Human Nature Questions

Best article that I have read this week. It comes from Psychology Today. One of the ten politically incorrect truths about human nature suggests that a man's midlife crisis is a result of their wives being middle-aged and at the end of their reproductive cycle. The middle age man then buys a fancy car to attract younger women. Hmm...

I can't say that I necessarily agree with all the ideas presented in the article (e.g. It's natural for male politicians to risk everything for an affair) but it was thought provoking.
