    I should also add knowing how to sail and or power boat knowledge. If you can water ski most likely you have a boat or can rent a boat (if you buy a boat without a V berth that just wrong) ... Men should know what a V berth is.
    Snow skiing very impressive but also every women want that romantic adventure of a ski lift, fireside warmth and hot wine …. If you can’t ski then just park the car and bring in the luggage boy.. :)

    I think you're very out of touch with what women want these days.

    Some of these are ridiculous.

    Horseback riding?


    I agree with cooking. Women love that.

    Also, learn to drive a manual. Always surprised to meet middle aged males who have no clue how to drive a stick.

    I know how to drive stick, but why should I need to know how?
  • Automatik
    I think it's a solid skill to learn. Also just the concept of a clutch and gears in general....translates to other manually shifting vehicles.

    I learned how to drive with manual. I grew up in the country and at aged 15 used to take my Dad's Dodge 3 speed on the column out for a spin on back roads when he was not at home. I remember coming to a stop sign that was on an incline and stalling repeatedly then a car pulls up behind me. Now I am shitting my pants because I did not have my drivers license. I realize its now hopeless with the pressure of another vehicle behind me and not skilled enough to stop myself from drifting back. I put it in gear turn off the engine and get out and wave the guy around and act like I need to check something out with the front tire. I ended up taking my drivers test with a manual.

    I am a lady, but I do think it's a good thing to know how to drive a manual car.
  • Zoltan
    I know how to drive a manual, but I haven't come across anyone who has one in probably 7 years. It's not very relevant anymore.

    do people own automatic sports cars?

    Things men need to be able to do:

    1. Make money
    2. Good sex

    Things women need to be able to do:

    1. Good sex

    If you have enough money for the things you need and have good sex...you'll be just fine. I would guess 75% of divorces stem from one of those two issues...the other 25% of divorces are from women bitching about the amount of golf he is playing.

    I'm sure some do, and some don't. I just haven't come across anyone who has a manual car in forever, but that might just be the people I see.

    Now remembering my friend used to have a SAAB that was a manual a few years ago, but that is the last time I remember seeing one.

    Yes.

    I attempted to learn to drive a manual. It was an overrated experience. Then again, I was learning on a Honda Civic, and a not a Corvette or Mustang. I can't really see a scenario where I'd actually want to drive a manual transmission vehicle. Maybe spirited racing on a track, but that's probably it.
  • Automatik
    All depends on the situation.

    I prefer a manual, but if I had to have one here with this fucked traffic and parking, I'd lose my mind.
  • ZWICK 4 PREZ
    Having a manual for a daily driver would be miserable.
  • Automatik
    Try a 2wd F150, half ton....in Ohio. The worst.

    I have only ever owned a manual. I hate driving an automatic after manual, boring as hell.

    I loved having a manual in college, I had my car there freshman yr and would CONSTANTLY get up to borrow my car. All I'd have to say is it's a manual, boom problem solved. No more ppl asking to borrow my car.
