A few basic survival skills can come in handy - especially when you least expect it.
You don't need to know how to survive being dropped into a barren Arctic wasteland, but some basic skills on catching and preparing food, keeping clean, first aid, etc., really helps you be a man.
Hands off
Something that shouldn't have to be said, but when you hear about it in the news almost daily, I guess it needs to be said, "never hit a woman (or child)".
learn to cook...
learn some decent cooking skills. In the kitchen & the bbq and an over an open fire.
hats off
When in a restaurant or other formal setting, your ball cap comes off. Or you're toque if you're 18 and still wearing one when it's not the middle winter.
Friends vs Girlfriends
When you're out of college, you're pretty much going to find it much harder to make guy friends - so be sure to nuture those friendships.. girls come second - they are much easier to get and to replace (if you need advice, click here for some free ebooks on dating and seduction).
Lift the Toilet Seat
Seriously guys, you're supposed to be a man - not a wild animal.
Lift the toilet seat instead of spraying the area down, and don't forget to flush!

beer bottles
dont nervously pick at your beer bottle label... especially when you're out at a bar and hoping to create some attraction with the ladies.
Go fishing
Sure, fishing may not keep us all on our 'toes' as far as excitement, but you should at least learn to go fishing - besides, it's relaxing - once in a while for those of us multitasking, ADD type men.
Be sure you're doing it all, from baiting your hook, to cleaning & cooking your fish!

Rediscover Common Sense
Common sense doesn't seem to be too "common" anymore... so, slow down a bit and rediscover what common sense is really all about.
facebook & twitter
You're a man, not an 11 year old.
So don't post everything about your life on facebook and twitter. Some things don't belong posted for the world to see and the other things, well, the world just doesn't care about them.
On that note, however, you should be using Facebook and Twitter for business...

Discipline Your Kids
If you have kids and they are doing something wrong, be sure to correct them. You don't need to be an ass about it, but make sure they know they've done something wrong and correct it.
From manners, to common sense stuff, as a parent and a man, it's your job to pass along valuable life skills. Of course, don't forget the love too!

Taking Responsibility
Take responsibility for your screw ups - stop blaming others, or fabricating crazy lies to try and cover up.
