In a world where women significantly outnumber us guys, I was compelled to think of a few qualities that can raise one’s stock. Simply put, certain things men should just intuitively know or be capable of doing by a certain age. Combined these qualities will get you one step closer to being the guy who all the other guys wanna be like.
Every Grown Man Should…
1. Be able to knock out 20 pushups straight…
- A grown man struggling to do a pushup is just a sad sight. Healthy mind, healthy body!
2. Know how to swim…
- 25 years old and still need floaties? Cmon Son. Don’t be the guy losing in the shallow end at the pool party. You don’t have to be Mike Phelps but u should at least be able to save yourself from drowning.
3. Have 3 “Go-To” Meals…
- Whip together a well-prepared meal that actually taste good and rack up the bonus points. Dessert might be on her…
4. Build & repair simple things…
- If you cant look at simple directions and build simple items and/or fix simple stuff around the crib, your chick will prolly cheat on you. Ha!
5. Be able to carry your woman…
- Debatable. Depending on your stature and type, pulling this one off could get tricky. The perks of this one go without saying. Plus if your chick passes out and all you can do is let her lay…Not Good. Get in the weight room.
6. Have some sense of direction…
- If you’re a grown man and you’re lost, im laughing at you. Straight up.
7. Look athletic doing something…
- Son, you gotta have at least one sport that you’re good at. Shoot hoops, throw a baseball, something! You can’t kick a kickball? Really!
8. Know to leave the bottom unbuttoned…
- 1. You don’t button the last button on a suit. 2. If you have more than 3 buttons you FAILED. Fashion 101.
9. Have knowledge of a good wine…
- This is just a grown man move. Moscato has become cliché so brush up on your wine expertise to compliment #3.
10. Have a “go-to” move…
- Whether it’s a simple cheek smack, position, or skill, you better have something. And if you don’t know what I speak of, You’ve already lost!
All of those are very reasonable and If you aren’t batting 1.000 you might want to work on that. Ladies, can you think of anything else?
-Chei
Can you please put up there, “know a little something about maintaining or fixing a vehicle”…I know way too many men who, when I approach for car advice, are completely and utterly clueless..
#11…Your socks need to match your pants whenever you wear a suit jacket. Thank you! lol
Wrong. Socks match your shirt. Might look silly at times, but that’s the rule. Pink shirt; pink socks.
Be able to carry your woman! Lmao I’m weak but its true
#12 be more creative and spontaneous…
So, I finally came across one of your posts, Chei, thanks to Facebook. Hahahaaaa!
Oh my, how silly this list is. What exactly are you attempting to help men do again? It’s unfortunate when a man speaks about what a woman likes without first doing research and actually ASKING WOMEN.
Knowing how to swim does not “raise your stock”. Whether you can swim or not, at the end of the day, it’s neither a deal breaker nor a deal maker. Push-ups? Really? That’s only a piece of the puzzle, someone physically fit, however he gets there, is what women like. I don’t care if you can do 20 pushups at a time, as long as you’re fit/healthy, that’s all that matters. Yitidee!
I could go on and on, but seemingly this piece is not about what it takes to win a relationship. Rather, it’s about what it takes to ‘get you some ass.’ Carry on!
Lmao Charlie you missed the entire point of this post. It’s humurous and has nothing to do with relationships. Just simply things a man should be able to do period.
Well, whatevs! Lol Carry on boys!
If I can add a few:
- Pray for your lady/household and get answers.
- Be comfortable in how you provide, whether that be financially, emotionally, spiritually, or physical.
- Love a woman emotionally not just sexually.
That is all I have now but I may come back. Good job guys.
“be comfortable in how u provide…” …*snap snap*
- Be able to tell a joke, sense of humor goes a looooong way.
- For the go to move ish; if you can’t “scoop” shorty, you losing. Ayyye!
- Word to Seren, spontaniety goes a long way, “hood picnics” for example: A well prepared ‘picnic’, blanket and all, in an urban environment I.e City, on the hood or roof of your vehicle.
- Read books, not just magazines b, Novels.
- Have some slight nerd shit in you, like chess playing abilities. Chess Club nigga!
There’s more, but I like the list, and dig the site. Keep up the good word brethren.
LOL @ being able to carry your woman…i automatically started laughing and heard fresh reminding us females to get in the gym..lol
sense of direction….uuggh i hate a person male/female that doesn’t know where they are going …

If you have a car it needs to be clean…all the time.
