Daily reminder that pic related is exactly the outcome of this dumbass self-help mentality

They even ended it with "but that doesn't make you any less of a man!"
Reminder: as a man, you can be the master of your own fate when it comes to deciding your future. You can have the career you want, marry or stay single, have kids or not, etc. But if you don't fit into the "male" archetype to a degree, you're useless. And don't Buzzfeed your way out of this.
Here are things every man should care about, and know a little about:
>Sports
if you don't follow at least two major sports you're a pussy
>Martial arts and combat sports
You should have at least a few years of practice in some style, and follow boxing or some MMA organization
>Cars
The basics about auto repair, best models, car prices, etc
>Politics
Can you tell, without looking, which prominent Democrats currently in office voted in favor of the Iraq war, or what programs will be affected by Trump's latest budget proposal? If you can't even get to a handful, you need to start following politics and reading about it more seriously.
>Being able to take care of the house
This is the basics: cleaning, fixing or replacing broken shit, etc
>Woodworking or some other DIY stuff
Nothing major, just enough to build shit every once in a while
>Fitness
Hopefully you faggots have at least this figured out
>Finance
How to invest money, how the stock market works, how the banking system functions, etc
>Something outdoors
Camping, hiking, climbing, hunting, etc
>Guns
Gun basics, safety, law, and how to shoot properly
>Cooking
No need to be a chef, just essential stuff
>Pets
Taking care of dogs, cats, hamsters, what have you
Few men will get ALL of this, but if you don't get at least 7 out of those 12, you're a pathetic excuse for a male, and you need to stop listening to meme professors telling you to clean le room and just become more of a dude. Learn dude shit, do dude stuff.
