59 Things A Man Should Never Do Past 30

59 Things A Man Should Never Do Past 30

According to Esquire Magazine [as reported on MSN's Lifestyles], there are some things a man should never do ever again when he passes the age of 30. I don't know about you men out there, but some of these things are OK with me if a man who is 30 are more wants to do it. I mean what is the point in living and not having fun eh?!

It might be taboo to the "PC" people out there and of course to Esquire Magazine, but I say heck do it if you feel like it! Some of these are funny though! I guess it just depends on the individual what he wants to do, right men?

Blackjack. When the dealer is showing a 6 (always assume a 10 as the hole card, and dealer must hit on 16, stand on 17), and you have a 6, your odds of busting are 50/50, while the dealer has a greater chance of busting. That one is one of the few wisdom ones.And yes, I use to deal blackjack professionally.


Thanks Doc! Wow, I didnt' know that - you being a Blackjack dealer that is.


when did 28 become a crime?


I think the person who wrote this must be on a sugar free diet!! How can anyone NOT eat Oreos just the way they like?!






#60. Never let any magazine attempt to define adult masculinity for you. Sounds like this magazine wants all men to be old stuffy, inflexible prigs.


Yep! and Yep!


BTW, my variation on #5: I named mine Napoleon because he is short, insane and wants to rule the world.


!!!


home brewing, the disney tie, the John Travolta move (noone UNDER 30 should do it...they never saw the steenking movie in the theater, for crying out loud!)...


Oh yea Gid, I know!!


Oh yeh in the privacy of home and sometimes even in public, I can still play a mean air guitar!


How about the air drum? My kids and I get a kick out of doing air guitar, air drumming and anything we can get a hold on for the mike!


I resemble those remarks..............


Dyno I had a big guffaw on your comment, a guffaw...not a laugh, not a giggle....you're punny!!


Then stewie from family guy must be your son.


Aw Stewie, he's another discussion altogether! hehee


5. Name his penis his name plus junior. [ this one I totally agree with! Hmm..., let your wife or girl name it instead!] Not, I don’t think so. I don’t need a name that would be confused with my wife’s dog.


Aw come on Charles, women give very good names! Poo bear...ok, may be not that one!!


Sorry for the length, not.


Pefectly OK, I enjoyed it!


agree with most of the posters here, why stop having fun? Why take yourself so seriously?


Me too! I just would like to know who actually thought of doing making this list. Maybe if I bought the book...yeah right...


.S. how long is it gonna take someone to write a blog for women now???? and what on earth will it tell us to give up by age 30? heck, I"m so far past that age....


It probably won't be long! hehee


Oh, yes. You WILL stop skipping, eventually. One day, your knees will demand it even if your mind does not want to accept it.


And how!


Yup, every time mine wears out I buy a new one. It's a basic-training style, see-through, plastic wallet-on-a-rope that fastens with velcro. I put the loop around my ankles, wiggle it up over my hips and carry it that way.


Nawwww?! seriously? Oh Angela, you need a new wallet!! Well, at least no one else can get at it.

I meant (but could not edit) "Go out on your first date".  If you have not dated by 30, join a convent!

I may be wrong, FS... but it seems like about half of these ONLY someone over 30 (or maybe even 40) would ever do anyway. ;~D

You know maybe if guys did MORE of these things out of the sheer silliness of doing them, we wouldn't have so many heart-attacks or stress-related sicknesses.

'Eating Oreos in stages'. John Malkovich's character in the movie Rounders does this while playing poker. If it is good enough for John, it is good enough for me. Besides, isn't eating Oreos this way a given?

My favourite of the whole lot is:

#60. Never let any magazine attempt to define adult masculinity for you.

Good one Buddha. I agree completely.

Well if your penis is nicknamed Napoleon I hope your GF or wife isn't Lorena Bobbitt. Because if you made her mad she might cut your Bonaparte.

Funny list, FS!

You too, Charles C.!

Charles C that was SOOO Funny...your responses were better than the original do not's! Buwhahahhahaha.


Well thank you very much. I was only being honest.




P.S. how long is it gonna take someone to write a blog for women now???? and what on earth will it tell us to give up by age 30? heck, I"m so far past that age....


Hmmm, this may be a no no for women. A list like this could be a powerful tool for men against women who claim to be younger than they really are. All they have to do is compare this possible list to a women's daily activities and figure out if they as young as they claim. Wait what am I saying, I'll find someone to write this up ASAP. I think I have found the answer guys.

Yup, every time mine wears out I buy a new one. It's a basic-training style, see-through, plastic wallet-on-a-rope that fastens with velcro. I put the loop around my ankles, wiggle it up over my hips and carry it that way.

So that makes it sexy, right? haha


Depends on whether there's something under it when you wiggle it up to your hips. J/K.

Oh yeh in the privacy of home and sometimes even in public, I can still play a mean air guitar!


I had an embarrassing moment with an air guitar, I was driving on the highway on my way to work, when I got off the highways I stopped at a red light and on the radio was playing Journey's Faithfully, at the end of the song they play a mesmerizing guitar that I began to air imitate while at the same time a cute girl was in her car next to me watching me as I mad e a total a$$ of myself. It was fun, funny and embarrassing all together.


P.S. John Travolta for God '08


And President as well.

Not Tom Cruise?


Who? Mr. "I'm married and I'm having a kid so I'm not gay" Cruise?

You know maybe if guys did MORE of these things out of the sheer silliness of doing them, we wouldn't have so many heart-attacks or stress-related sicknesses.


I just might make it my next weekend mission to accomplish everything on that list. Kinda like something bfore I die kinda thing.

Haha, Gene, you're hilarious! OK, so about those velcros, we need to take you shopping mister!


Yea, John Travolta, love that guy!



Not Tom Cruise?


Who? Mr. "I'm married and I'm having a kid so I'm not gay" Cruise?

I may be wrong, FS... but it seems like about half of these ONLY someone over 30 (or maybe even 40) would ever do anyway. ;~D


You know Ted, you might be right about that! I don't even think any 20 something knows any of this! Except maybe naming the penis thing or the keg thing! Heehee. OK 20 somethings, If you do it, then more power to you! [ducks and run for cover]
