I think they meant being able to hold a conversation. Not the shoe.
1) Score a baseball game - Coached Little League so I hope so.
2) Build a fire - Was a boy scout and a fledgling pyromaniac so check.
3) Tie a tie - Several ways. including the ways that require a safe word
4) Hold your own in any sport - other than the aforementioned round ball
5) Car maintenance - my father was a mechanic, could rebuild an engine before I lost my virginity (unfortunately)
6) Wingman - Bros before hoes
7) Converse - Once you learn to fake sincerity it's all downhill
8) Basic first aid - I know how to use my gunshot wound kit, Does that count?
9) Fix things - there is not anything I can't fix, I have every tool you can imagine and know how to properly use them even though I can never find what I need when I need it. But if it's on a house or a car I've got it covered.
10) Cook - Once you learn to properly cook a steak and make a sauce from scratch the rest is easy.

Pro tip: Just make the figure eight with your tongue. Also alka selzer between your teeth and she'll never forget you.

I went through three pair a year easily. Dad said at one time he bought me new shoes once a month from the wear and tear.

Why is cunnilingus not on the list?

I thought that was a reflex like breathing or blinking your eyes.

My list would include
1. Know the 378322 uses for zip ties
2. change oil and filter
3. get charcoal into hot coals quickly
4. HAVE THE ONE friend that can DO the things you cannot.
5. have access to a pressure washer and all the fun it is.
6. How to comfort a baby to stop crying (expert here and no child is harmed in the process)
7. How to converse with other like minded men on hunten fishen sports womens cars cane grinding and other manly things............

Grass fed might be "healthier".... but it sure as shiit does not taste better. Need them heifers to carb load.

I will never pan fry a steak but my Son in Law runs a restaurant in Ocala and can fry the hell out of a steak. I prefer charcoal.

 

[Gatordiddy]

I prefer charcoal.

I used to as well until my son cooked a bone-in Ribeye in a cast iron pan.
And - he used garlic, thyme and butter that he melted in the pan and drizzled it between turns.
I get a mouth waterin’ just thinking about it.
Lawdy that’s good eatin’

I know that flash cooking a piece of steak in a pan can produce a great meal, But it makes me think of my mom frying round steak so hard it tasted like an old boot. One of the best steaks I've ever had was at Ruth's Chris in Atlanta and they cook their steaks under an 1800 degree broiler. But there's no way you can infuse the flavor of good woodsmoke in a pan. To me pork has 10 times the flavor of beef and lately I've been grilling cuts like pork backbone on indirect heat over a mix of charcoal and pecan or oak and finish the last 10 minutes directly over the coals. That cut is highly marbled and the tips generally have a fat cap that crisps up like a gooshy sweet piece of fatback that explodes when you bite it.

Top ten thing a guy needs to know as far as I'm concerned is "measure twice, cut once." Took me a while to understand and use this to my advantage or for self preservation. Not just talking about building projects. For example, if the significant female in your life makes a ridiculous request at the most inopportune time, a second "measurement" might have you reply with "let's talk about it" or the always safe "yes dear" as opposed to an instinctive "look b!tch..." Your matrimonial life-long construction project will progress a lot smoother and with less wasted lumber.

I put the cast iron n the grill, get a good sear and smoke flavor. Usually over oak
