Floating around on my Facebook today: 45 Ultimate Man Tips. Here's the link: http://johnnywebber.com/ultimate-list-of-45-man-tips/

And here's the actual article:

Your father probably told you a few things, but just in case he wasn’t around enough, here are some words of wisdom you might have missed out on:

1. Buy high quality tools, so you only have to buy them once.
2. Keep a change of clothes at the office.
3. Never hit anyone unless they are an immediate threat.
4. Every hat should serve a purpose.
5. Never take her to the movies on the first date.
6. Learn to wet shave.
7. Nothing looks more badass than a well-tailored suit.
8. Shave with the grain on the first go-around.
9. Always look a person in the eye when you talk to them.
10. Buy a plunger before you need a plunger.
11. Exercise makes you happy. Run, lift, and play sports.
12. Brush your teeth before you put on your tie.
13. A small amount of your paycheck should go directly to your savings account every month.
14. Call Mom and Dad every week.
15. Never wear a clip-on tie.
16. Give a firm handshake.
17. Compliment her shoes.
18. Never leave a pint unfinished.
19. If you aren’t confident, fake it. It will come around.
20. You can tell the size of a man by the size of things that bother him.
21. Be conscious of your body language.
22. The only reason to ever point a gun at someone is if you intend to shoot them. Period.
23. Always stand to shake someone’s hand.
24. Never lend anything you can’t afford to lose.
25. Ask more than you answer. Everybody likes to talk about themselves.
26. Never have sex with anyone that doesn’t want it as much as you.
27. Go for women out of your league. You may end up surprised.
28. Manliness is not only being able to take care of yourself, but others as well.

33. Don’t let the little head do the thinking for the big head.
34. No matter their job or status, everyone deserves your respect.
35. The most important thing you can learn is personal responsibility. Bad things happen; it’s your job to overcome them.
36. The first one to get angry loses.
37. A man does what needs to be done without complaining.
38. Never stop learning.
39. Always go out into public dressed like you’re about to meet the love of your life.
40. Don’t change yourself just to make someone happy.
41. If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.
42. Luck favors the prepared.
43. Women find confidence sexy as hell.
44. Do whatever you want to do, but be the best at it.
45. No one is on their deathbed wishing they spent more time at work.

Some good, some bad, some questionable.

Why only aim at someone if you want to kill them. Using a gun as a threat is a big nono?
First one to get angry lose?
Try faking happiness when feeling fucked over is pointless, unless you are dealing with your boss or a customer.
Every hat should serve a purpose?
Always stand up to shake someones hand?
Looks beta getting up from a comfortable position to shake someones hand.

It's about not let getting anger in your way. The more angry you get the more clouded your reasoning will be.

Simple example would be boxing. Some fighters tease their opponents to make them angry which will lead them to make mistakes.

Shaking someone's hand depends on the context. There is nothing beta about good manners. If I am meeting someone for the first time I would never shake their hand without first rising. Not rising is a sign of someone who is uncouth and lacking elemental manners. It communicates apathy at best and disrespect at worst. Good manners are timeless. But if it is just a bro-shake with a friend who just entered the room, who cares.

I agree. It should read: "Never point a firearm at someone unless you are willing to pull the trigger -- if necessary."

For me also the 41st was something I stopped and thought about and totally agreed!
