Transcript

The world is falling apart when a girl is thoroughly impressed by the fact that I own a pack of condoms because apparently that's not so common best not only should that be common better you should also own some lube because not all slides worse made slippery which is fine but you as a man should be prepared. Speaking of preparation I think every man in their twenties should own a toolbox that is filled with copious amount of screws, allen tier, and wrenches. And I'm not Bob the Builder, but I definitely know my way around a toolbox, if you know what I'm saying. On a similar note, I think every man should own a drill because what do you mean you're gonna call up another man to come to your house to hang up a picture frame or a shelf? Your girl's not gonna like that. I've mentioned this one before best I'm gonna say it again. If you're a dude in your mid twenties or later and don't have a headboard or a bed with multiple pillows, we are not the same. Like, what are you doing? It does not cost a bunch of money better your life will be so much better. Next up is jumper cables because imagine the scenario that the love of your life, the most beautiful girl in the world comes up to you in a Trader Joe's parking bad says that her car battery died. Can you help me? Guess what? You can't because you're not prepared. You just fumbled the opportunity of a lifetime. Now, this one pisses me off and it's a passport because the amount of dudes I know that are trying to go on a trip, that are trying to make it out tier group chat, we finally get the plans together and they don't have a passport, which is fine in our younger years. We wanna keep it the best day. You wanna go to New York, California? Cool. But in our twenties, thirties, we're trying to go international. Lastly, every man needs a basic hygiene routine. Nothing crazy, but you wanna get yourself a cleanser, a moisturizer, some sunscreen, some deodorant, and just a cologne so you can smell real nice.
