Popular Mechanics has 25 that every man should know, and you’ll notice none of them are anything like ‘configure a POP account’ or ‘validate CSS’.

Though GPS may seem ubiquitous, it doesn’t work everywhere. Mountains and dense tree cover can knock out sat signals—and batteries can die. Here’s how to roam the backcountry with a compass and topo map.
These are actually very handy things to learn, and you’ll be pleased to know that each skill only requires a minute to read [or jot down in your Moleskine].

‘How Do You Stop Comparing Yourself With Others?’
(http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/how-do-you-stop-comparing-yourself-with-others.html)
And the post after:
‘If You Must Multitask, Do It This Way’ http://www.lifehack.org/articl.....s-way.html
As for needing to prove that you are a man, knowing a few facts doesn’t prove anything, one needn’t look further than their birth certificate or in their trousers.
