Something to reflect on:
They say that the skills make the man and there are certainly ideal skills that a man should know. Normally our fathers pass on these skills to us but unfortunately, this is becoming rarer. Sites like Kyle's are ideal starting points to learn the lost 'gentlemanly' arts that you should know and that will help you become a better man. If you never had a good father figure in your life, you should make peace with that and look elsewhere to learn these skills. Forgive and start now. Your future self and children will thank you.
