1. Hunting Hunting was a hugely important skill for much of human history, but in light of the rise of cheap and readily available factory-farmed meat, hunting’s relationship to the food we actually eat has disappeared for the overwhelming majority of the population. If you grew up in a rural area, there’s a good chance you learned to shoot game at some point, but as much as many contemporary guys fantasize about being able to kill a wild animal and eat it (Mark Zuckerberg, anyone?), particularly if you live in a big city, there’s really not much real-world benefit to that glorification. Instead, Learn How to Cook for Yourself Meanwhile, the average millennial man is probably more adept at ordering dinner online than actually making it, which is too bad. Cooking your own meals is a lot of fun, generally cheaper than eating out or ordering in, and typically healthier, too. It’s also something that, while it may seem impossible to a beginner, is actually not as complicated as it seems. Join a cooking class — or even watch some YouTube how-tos or try a meal kit delivery service — and you might be surprised at how handy you become in the kitchen. And yes, it will impress people. |

So I suppose learning to cook what one hunts is just too much to ask, right?
Feckless catamites. |

Is that for real! I found my new years resolutions I'm going to do the exact opposite
edit I've solved stuff fighting and I'm not even that good at it |
|
|
Just for suggesting that, I am going to shoot and eat twice as many animals next season.
I hope they are happy. |

8. Duping threads on Arfcom.
Instead, learn to start a thread with an original topic. |

Thats some cringy ass shit. Article should be titled The Blueprints to the Downfall of Humans |
|
We already had that article in GD, it's written by a Canadian fag so the content is unsurprising.
|

This depends on where you are in the country. NYC versus The Middle of No Where, Pick Your Midwest/Western State ... very different language, accents, and delivery methods.

Good Lord. I haven't seen that much derp in one place in a long time. That has to be satire.
|

Fuck those guys.
Imma go to my fridge now and pop a little venison sausage in the microwave for a snack. |

Also, best comment 8. Getting angry and getting a divorce when your wife cheats on you. Instead, get to know your wife's new boyfriend. View Quote |

Wow, if we weren't living in bizarro world, I'd swear that was satire.

Funny. I saw this Saturday afternoon on a FB post (mocking it).
I did a tally. I had done everything on the list that day except hunt, but I did eat venison steak from the deer I hunted this past fall. like Britney said: There’s no escape Don’t you know that I’m toxic. |

Author (Ian Stobber) is the kind of guy who steps out of the shower to piss.

many of those skills (both the 'old' and the new') are actually complementary, and should probably be in most men's toolkits.
A hunter who can't prepare food isn't really self-sufficient. A fighter who can't mediate and/or avoid trouble will fight many bad battles. A leader who doesn't know how and when to collaborate isn't a leader. A disciplinarian who cannot communicate with his children may not wind up with well-adjusted adults. A stoic type who doesn't know when it's time to air the dirty laundry will build up resentment. Someone who prepares food but cannot hunt is not truly self-sufficient. Someone who only mediates and doesn't know when to fight won't stand up when it is important Someone who only collaborates and leads may not succeed because no one else stepped up Someone who only focused on communication and not on discipline may raise brats. Someone who is always talking things out may provoke more resentment and waste time. |

Meanwhile, on the "Ask Women" website: "7 Skills to Learn."
Fix Things Around the House - You can do it! No need to call a handy [person]. Learn to Fight - Be assertive, stick up for yourself. Ask for that raise! Repair Your Car - See #1. Be a Leader - Time to give the matriarchy a try! Be a Disciplinarian - You don't need a man in the house to raise a son! Etc. |

Yeah, instead of fixing the leaky faucet just put a flower over it. You'll be such a better person for it.
