What Are Your Skills?

[mondo joe]

You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills.

Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.

[JimmyJazz]

1. Um...your issue may not be in the skills you have, but in thinking

women want men who know how to bow hunt or computer hack -- those really aren't the kinds of things I think of first when someone mentions skills . :silly:

[mondo joe]

3. Easy for you to say. You're like the only guy at school who has a mustache

You have a sweet bike. And you're really good at hooking up with chicks. Plus you're like the only guy at school who has a mustache.

[JimmyJazz]

14. As a matter of fact, I am not the only guy at school with a moustache --

really. trust me. And, I'm not so good at hooking up with the chick, either. I do have a really sweet cannondale, but that's really just a ride for one person.

yvr girl: HELP ME :P

[yvr girl]

4. More like how to make a good Martini, right Miss Jimmy?

hangovers. Get your mind out of the gutter, girl. ;-)

[JimmyJazz]

23. Oh puleeze - you've seen the company I keep -

[yvr girl]

26. I think the hangover prevention skills would be appreciated

They seem to be drinkers.

[JimmyJazz]

29. Oh you sweet naive thing --

Only amateurs get hangovers :P

[yvr girl]

33. Because of preventative measures or training?

[JimmyJazz]

36. Practice. Lots and lots of practice....

:)

Not really - I just know not to drink on an empty stomach.

I make a wicked marinade and sauce

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

19. I assume from your name you are a male

as a woman, I can tell you that what I wanted-and found-was a man who was gentle, who cared for me as a person, who was interested in spirituality, and who loved me for me. Don't know that these are skills as much as qualities.

[mondo joe]

25. Suggestion.

Suggestion:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

31. obviously a generation gap

as I don't know what the photo you showed refers to. I can assure you my husband doesn't look anything like that person. He's a mechanic and muscular with long hair and a beard. He plays drums and discusses philosophy.

[Longgrain]

20. None! I completely void of talent...

;)

[JimmyJazz]

24. Shut up! You know that's not true.

:P

[Longgrain]

28. But it is true...

I can't sing! I can't dance! I can't act! I hardly know how to turn on a computer! I'm contributing nothing to society :cry:

(seriously, I,ll get back to you later regarding your questions from last night.):-)

[JimmyJazz]

I think this is a first for me - I have successfully hi-jacked this thread in not one, but TWO places :bounce:

[Swede]

21. I can fix a DVD player within 20 minutes.

Unfortunately most DVD players are worth about $20 these days. When they stop playing it is usually just alinging the loading mechanism and cleaning and lubing and it will play.

[HEyHEY]

32. I have double jointed elbows...so I can reach around corners both ways

[skygazer]

Give me about 6 months and I can figure out your home mortgage issues, since I just started this job.

My brain is chock full of weird information that just sticks in there from all the things I read, so I am one of those encyclopedia persons, the stuff just surfaces from time to time and I have to tell people about it. LOL
