25 Things Men Should Know How To Do

By Justin Becker

CorrespondentEvery Wednesday

impress everyone with your know-howYou may think you know how to do everything without the help of a manual, but if you're a real man, then you can actually admit that you probably don't know how to change a light bulb on your own.

Since there are certain things that every man should know how to do (okay, we'll never learn how to stop and ask for directions, so that doesn't count), here are the 25 things you should be familiar with in order to be the well-rounded man you want to become.

25- Leave a tip
You don't need a tip calculator to figure out how much to leave any service provider. If it's a waiter, then the standard is 15% of your bill, but you can give more than that depending on the service. And yes, you do leave a tip for hairdressers, coat check attendants, bartenders, and taxi drivers, which you will learn all about by clicking here.

24- Clean your apartment
All it takes is the right tools. You need a broom, mop, vacuum, or Swiffer, which can complete most of these steps. Vacuum the carpets; mop up your kitchen floor (to make it easier, just use Swiffer, so you don't need even need to wet the floor); and sweep the tiles or hard wood floors. To get it done during halftime of a basketball game, check out How To Clean Your Apartment in 15 Minutes.

23- Change a tire
We don't always have the luxury of having others stop to help us if we're stuck with a flat, and what if a sexy woman flags us down off the road to change her flat? In a nutshell, put the parking brake and hazard lights on; get out your lug nut wrench and car jack; remove the hubcap; loosen the lug nuts; jack up the car; remove the lug nuts followed by the flat tire; put the new tire onto the wheel studs; put the lug nuts back, and make sure they're screwed on tight.

22- Set the mood
Get some candles and incense going (if you have a fireplace, that works too), put on some light jazz, R&B, or trip hop on your CD player, and remember to proceed slowly .

21- Undo a bra
Put your hands under her shirt. Now remember that a bra is clipped with hooks, as opposed to buttons or snaps. Simply take the two parts at the back of the bra -- near the center -- and push them together to unhook. Once you're a pro, you'll be able to unhook it with a flick of the wrist.

20- Tie a tie
Learn How To Tie A Tie for those important business meetings or formal affairs. Just make sure you give yourself enough time to do it while getting ready, so as not to rush.

19- Get into a nightclub
If you want to look like you have as much pull as you claim and impress your date, then you need to know How To Get Into a Nightclub. It may sound easy, but if you're insecure or too pushy, then you'll stay at the back of the line all night -- while your lady friend has made her way in.
