  • An Askmen.com columnist named Ian, wrote an article pointing out 7 skills a man should ditch in their journey to better themselves. "forget about hunting, don't repair your car, and no one should want to buy a house anymore" says the author of this ridiculous news article. I find that doing the exact opposite is better for the future of men.

      jackdanielzx He sounds like that one kid who used to hang out with girls in high school who still had a high pitched voice which made him seem more like a girl to them. He pretty much just told us to ditch our skills and go cook a cake. First off, that’s too easy, and second off, uh, where should I go to fix my car? It broke down in the countryside and I’m pretty sure that I could fix the engine belt since I have a spare in my car, but nope, I should just have it towed instead of fixing it on the side of the road and have a mechanic tell me that my engine sucks and I need a new one, or perhaps my torque converter had a scratch on it and now I need a whole new torque converter even though it isn’t leaking transmission fluid and the engine doesn’t abnormally rev up when I attempt to drive it, just so he can get a shit ton of my money when I didn’t even have to spend a dollar. And what do I do when I need to fix my house and I need to save money? Or what about when a person tries to rob my house with a freaking machete, and I don’t have a gun because I don’t want to stand up to violence in order to prevent it from affecting me? I guess when someone robs his house, I guess he will let them kill him and be happy in the afterlife for the robber, smiling down at the violent prick knowing that he will be happy with all the shit he stole from his house, and he will also be happy with the sight of him raping his dead girlfriend if he could actually get one in the first place, because he finally got to share her like a real friend would.

      What’s honestly hilarious is that most of those pairings are taught together. Except coding since it’s relatively new. Cook what you kill the best cooks in my family are the ones who hunt OR have cooked for a very long time. Meditation is a HUGE part of martial arts. Maintaining your car should be a must. And maintaining and fixing your home is vital for saving money and not being helpless in the face of crisis like a pipe breaking or wind/hail/rain/water damage can all be quite expensive to fix. IMO decorating doesn’t require true skill (although there those who are skilled at it and therefore very good at it) a basic knowledge of colors and effective use of space and pretty much (no not everyone) anyone can do it. The articles author is obviously oblivious to the other side of his comment about most people not being able to afford homes. If we can’t afford a home what makes you think I can afford to be mugged or take my car to a mechanic every time something happens?? Just because we can’t afford them doesn’t mean that isn’t our ultimate goal. And when you finally do purchase a home there isn’t some masterclass for fixing your own home.

      I can't see how hunting and cooking don't go together. What the hell do people hunt for? And home repair and decor, they too go together. Like you can't remodel without being able to build therefore repair.
      This may come as a surprise to many people, but a calmer person that knows how to meditate helps make them a better fighter. Something about being able to think things through a lot better and not just act on impulse and broadcasting your intentions.
      It is like this idiot wants to get rid of a skill for another not realizing that the skills go together.

      I’m trying to imagine what would have happened if I didn’t know basic plumbing when a pipe burst during the winter.
      My basement would have been flooded, my electrical box would have shorted, and it would have cost me thousands. Instead it cost me maybe 30 bucks to buy the correct fittings and a shark bite. And maybe an hour and a half of time.

Painting the outside of his home, adding an addition...those things were hired out. My grandfather was also a great gardener and kept his yard in immaculate condition. These skills were passed down to his son - my father - who then passed them to my brother and me.

      And time. I've waited for roadside assistance. Almost two hours on I-45 ten miles outside of Dallas for a couple jugs of coolant because I'd already fixed the radiator hose but of course my coolant was already spread along a mile of highway. I can change a tire in under ten minutes. I can push start a manual transmission or jump start an automatic in five. I have a can of starter fluid to track down vacuum leaks and a roll of silicone tape to temp patch any hoses that can't just be trimmed down. I have a spare piece of high pressure fuel line and the cute little bitty hose clamps to put it on with.
      I also have gloves, so I don't even have to get my hands dirty to avoid sitting around on the side of the road waiting hours for the kinds of simple 10-20 minute repairs that 90% of unexpected car failures need.

That made me decide to go on an "Outdoor Survival" binge for years...learning everything I could about being self reliant enough to keep my butt alive in the woods. That lended itself to learning how to fix dang near everything I own from a simple light switch to a rear seal in my car to, just yesterday, converting a brand new natural gas oven to liquid propane. It's not hard folks and it saves a crap ton of money! Within the last week I have also started prepping a vegetable garden and also spent a night in the ER. Yeah, spent and most of a day in the hospital then came home and converted a stove the next night! Holy crap I have never heard such garbage as "code instead of fixing your car."

      Also regarding recoil, most guns aren't that bad after you handle something in a stupidly large caliber or handle a rifle in a full powered cartridge with a 16" barrel. Anyone claiming the AR-15 has massive recoil I challenge to shoot an M95 Stutzen Steyr carbine in 8x56RS. A lot of other guns look far less intimidating after shooting something like that.

Anyone who clings to the historically untrue and thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst.

    • @alex-px1uz
      @alex-px1uz Před 5 lety +2

      he makes a bunch of shit points, lets go through them
      1. hunting. he claims that hunting gives you a better idea of where your food is coming from by going in nature to kill an animal. That perception of how we get our meat is so off base it is ridiculous. The animals harvested for their meat are grown in factories and have nothing to do with peacefully killing a single animal.
      1a. he suggests that all hunters know how to cook bc they hunt. Im sure there is a hint of truth to that, but i would be willing to bet that many hunters kill the animal, take it to a butcher, then hand it to their wives. Either that or they cook it in some mediocre way and know how to cook very few dishes.
      2. fighting. If youre not an asshole, youre probably not going to get into a fight. He claims that getting punched isnt that dangerous, but he is so incredibly wrong. People die from fighting regularly. The article shouldve suggested conflict resolution/deescalating an altercation instead of meditation. getting punched in the face and not getting that hurt isnt proof that youre not a pussy. It is only proof that the guy didnt hit you hard enough to knock your brain on your skull.

    Best part about all of these is realizing that you don't have to be an absolute grand master at them; just good enough to be handy, which gives you the confidence to learn more. And it's that confidence that makes you a real man.
    Sure, I'll never be able to strip an engine down to its component parts and rebuild it blindfolded. But I know how to change my own spark plugs and cables, light bulbs and filters on my car, and am learning how to change the oil.
    And I can't exactly build a house from studs to roof. But I'm capable of replacing light fixtures, fans, wall sockets, toilets and water piping, and I recently learned how to replace broken roof shingles and clear out clogged gutters.

By doing this they saved tens of thousands of Allied soldiers lives and as many if not even significantly more civilian lives. It's estimated to have accelerated the end of the war by two years and was instrumental in planning D-Day. So maybe you can't change a flat tire, but you can become a legendary historical figure. You could also be thrown in jail and only released on the condition of chemical castration because you were caught sleeping with a man a few years after making quite possibly the largest contribution to the war effort by any one man

Interestingly the Horse Race Buisness is the one that suffers the msot from that. Since you know ... leg snt broken but just "missaligned" ... well no one can fix that so shot the Horse anyway.
      Or "Feilenschläger" (sorry dont know the english translation). Basically People who manually did create a File. Wood or Metal ... i got you. Also the People who could repair yours for cheap.
      But the worst i witness is People cant fix Chisel anymore. The tiny hardened bit o nyour 11 Inch Chisel is gone? Well ... time to buy a new one. Because so few People nowadays know how to proerly harden the tip again.
      Just last Week i had to go to our Production Building (im from the Paint department btw) to harden a Chisel again. Because the shops arent open. And all the 20 Year olds there have no clue how to do it. Even though they did spend 6 Weeks during their Aprenticeship doing Smith Work.

      I literally grew up too poor to pay anyone. The cheap alternative for me and my family was to fix stuff ourselves. Good learning experience. Now I can machine, weld, 3d print, work with wood, and am trying to get a small time leather business off the ground. It still surprises me that this stuff isn't common knowledge and am also surprised when people say that my "jack of all trades and master of none" mentality is anything special. It's just how I grew up. I'm the "sissy city kid" of my family if that says anything about the culture I grew up in.

And look at the silver linings; at least you know how to kill someone if the time calls for it. I was taught that as well, but I dont nesscesarly consider that a bad thing. Id rather have and not need than to need and not have. No knowledge is truly useless.

      Long rant and storytime: Unless you have a certain injury or disability that prohibits you from doing something, if you have the capability to do something (especially if you're a man) you should do it yourself.
      Basic things such as moving furniture, putting things together, and maintaining appliances and machinery and other mechanical devices are things that all men, to one degree or another, should be able to do. I've moved tables around my house, helped my parents assemble shelves, put together a weight machine, helped my dad move packages to and from different homes, worked in food pantries, volunteered at my church, and helped clean a poor old widow's yard shortly after Hurricane Harvey.
      Just a few hours ago, me and my younger brother helped my dad disassemble, move, and reassemble a few beds into different parts of the house. My mama wanted the softer bed from the bedroom downstairs to be moved upstairs, and the beds from the upstairs room moved out. So the aforementioned three of us did what she wanted, and moved the beds as needed. It's a pain in the rear end, but it's not rocket science. I'm 18, my dad's 48, and my brother's 13, and the three of us were able to move the beds to where they need to go. It's time-consuming, but it's not impossible.
      It's appalling that someone like this Ian guy would say, "Hey, I'm just going to pay a contractor or let someone else who's 'more experienced than me' do this" while simultaneously saying that the contractor's skill is irrelevant or obsolete in this modern day. You want to go "ask men"? How about, Ian, you talk to contractors or tradesmen, or get some advice from engineers or firefighters or law-enforcement officers or military personnel, even male volunteers at local food pantries. You know, real men who know how to take responsibility for their own actions and use their own strength and ability to do basic things that are always essential and important in this world, instead of just letting them do all the work for you as you drink a latte with 7 different sugars and preservatives in it and sit on the toilet playing Brawl Stars on your phone?
      As an aspiring Marine, and a member of the "Zoomer" generation (the newest upcoming generation who's attached and addicted to luxuries such as electronics and junk food) I'm glad that I have genuine men such as the ones listed up above to look to for assistance and inspiration for self-development instead of wusses such as Ian, the "gentleman" he is. I don't even know if I should call him a "gentleman" since you need to be a man in order to be a gentleman, and Ian isn't even a boy. Just an entitled and spoiled brat who's never been spanked as a kid.
