In your opinion, what’s one skill every man should learn that isn’t commonly taught or valued? It could be anything from practical skills to life lessons.

    Many. Here are a few:

    Wiping their arses (if Reddit is to be believed)

    Cooking

    Cleaning

    Cunnilingus (NB: this doesn’t apply to my homohomies)

    That nobody gives a shit about what you want

    Basic survival skills because the Ivans are coming over the northern border and it’s time to blow the bridges.

    Sailing

    Parking sensibly (number of times I’ve seen BMWs parked diagonally across 3 spaces is ridiculous. It makes me want to throw broken spark plugs at their windows)

      Cooking and cleaning definitely important. Parking sensibly. Yes, that stress is an importance on courteousness in manners.

      As far as the sex stuff goes. Do you think women need to like teach men more or something?

      Because they’re the ones that know what pleases them.

      You know what i’m saying? like a guy can’t teach another guy that.

      Imean, I guess they could lol, but you know what i’m saying

        Yeah I mean healthy communication is definitely important in that regard. But from what I’ve read, a lot of guys just don’t bother. And TBF it’s not hard to teach yourself with a bit of practice. You just use your ears. There are books written on the subject. Just dust of the ol’ library card.

    I have a few that I wish I would have learned much earlier in life:

    • Empathy and Sympathy
    • Mindfulness and acting with purpose
    • Sexual education and experimentation
    • Where to find your local Planned Parenthood
    • Women’s anatomy
    • Critical thinking

    Everybody should learn everything and apply that knowledge to the betterment of all and themself.

    Men aren’t special and women aren’t special except biologically. Society programs a sexual dichotomy of thought that is without merit. Be your best self and your best self should be compared to yourself before now and others that you hold to be better than you.

    Tough women are as valuable as more sensitive men so long as those women are sensitive and those men are tough.
