Artofmanilness is :smokin

Required reading for every man, one of the best blogs on the internet. Tons of great info
 
two things I'd add;

how to change your own oil - relatively easy, quick, saves money and gets some grease on your hands

how to tell a good story - I read this in a Maxim or FHM years back. Definitely a manly trait to captivate an audience and eventually pass down stories to your kids effectively enough to where they idolize you even more
 
I wouldn't advise anybody to jump a car by connecting the positive terminal first. Always connect the ground first then connect the positive terminal. Don't know why they have it the other way around.
 
Googled myself as they suggested.

Found a social profile I had on Bebo when I was in 8th grade :x :x :x

Damn I was a lame and reckless kid :lol:

Deleted everything quick fast

Good post OP.

I get down with AoM but some of their stuff is catered to that hipster guy that wants to grow a handlebar mustache or some crazy wacky **** that they used to do in a by gone era.

You gotta pick whats good for you and leave most of the rest on the ground.
 
Bookmarked..... I could use some manliness after this break up, gotta man up and quit being this depressed loser
