Keeping yourself looking good and well-groomed must not be your excuse to learn and exude at least the basic manly skills expected of you whether you are a bachelor or family guy. In my
previous post, I pointed out that being friendly is fashionable. The same is true for being manly. This would not require you to be Zorro-ish - sword fighting and saving damsels in distress. Rather, this will just require you to set your feet on things you will need to survive. What are they? I have itemized them below.
- Being dependable/reliable.
- Ability to do house chores - dish washing, laundry and house cleaning, ironing
- Giving protection to your family and others
- Driving and fixing a car
- Drafting a daily budget
- Saving for the future
- Getting a job
- Taking care of kids
- Doing volunteer work
- Haggling
- Fixing a toilet
These make the core of having a successful life. Assess yourself and mark which of these things are already present in you. If most of them are not. Take the time to learn them - one goal at a time.
