Know Where Home Depot Is

I don't care if you don't know how to build anything. I don't care if you don't even know what a 2x4 is or the difference between a flat head and a phillips head screw driver. YOU NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE NEAREST HOME DEPOT IS. Not because you'll ever need to go there, but because someone else might. And there is nothing more pitiful then a man who doesn't know where Home Depot is.

Say you're at a party at a friend's house, throwing back some beer and BBQ. One of the guys mentions how there's a loose railing on the deck. He'll no doubt announce to the group on his intentions to fix said railing "next weekend". Another male will instinctively ask where the nearest Home Depot is. See, it is in our DNA to want to show women that we know how and are interested in fixing things. It dates back to the Caveman days when survival meant women needed to shack up with the guy who could build the best shelter. Your ancestors were working their way through the digestive tract of a sabertooth tiger back then.

So, the question is asked -- if people look at you and your response is "I don't know", then you've just guaranteed the ladies are wasting their time with you. No woman respects a man who knows where the nearest Borders is, but can't tell you how to get to the hardware store. Pack it in and go home, Nancy Von Limpwrist.

And when you get there, get on Google Maps and find a god damn Lowe's, would ya?
