How to use basic tools. Hammer(swing it properly), drill/screw drivers, read a measuring tape, etc…
When I was in trade school for plumbing, more than half my group were trying to hammer in screws
Treat his woman right. Don’t hit her. Don’t abuse her. If she is a terrible person, just leave her. But if she is good, treat her right, and she could be the best thing that ever happens to you.
It’s situational. Many of the comments are good if you are in those situations but not all men are. Knowing how to change oil is great unless you live in a city primarily using public transportation.
Effective boundary maintenance. Not in terms of fencing or that sort of thing (though that shit’s cool too), but in terms of interpersonal boundaries. When to establish them, when to strengthen them, when to bend or even break them down, when (in rare cases) it is OK to disregard them, etc.
In sum, how to not be an ice king, a codependent, a distant Dad, a yes-man, and so on, but rather how to be a well-adjusted person with deliberate, rich relationships.
Accept plutonic affection from other men. It absolutely sucks that when a man could clearly use a supportive and safe hug that offering that hug immediately takes the moment and makes it repellant.
