25 skills every guy should master

the oct 2007 issue of popular mechanics lists 25 skills every guy should master. i'd argue some skills vital to modern manliness are missing, and i'll cover that in another post. i'd also argue that all adults, not only men, should have a handle on at least half these skills. i've listed the skills below, grouped by my own personal expertise. the first group are skills i've mastered. the second, skills i've been taught, but not yet mastered. the third group is the i have no freakin' idea group. how do you measure up?
