30 thigs a MAN should KNOW by age 30.

This is from a newspaper article clipping that I saved way back in 2001. It was about a month before my 29th birthday and saving the clipping would give me a list of things to accomplish in the next 12 months.

Rage against Age.
30 things a MAN should KNOW by age 30.

1. The difference between love and lust.
2. How to change a tire, a diaper and a woman's mind.
3. When to hold on and when to let go.
4. Your capacity for intimacy and alcohol.
5. Basic carpentry, plumbing and automotive repair.
6. Advanced foreplay.
7. Trouble when he sees it.
8. True love when he feels it.
9. A load of bull when he hears it.
10. The symptoms of PMS and how to deal with them.
11. How to fast-talk and slow-dance.
12. The art of seduction.
