Man skills?! “What the f@5k is that then?”, I hear you ask.
Or perhaps you have your own idea of what a man should be, how he should behave, what he should do in this 21st Century.
Well, we definitely aren’t going to try and create a group of robot ‘perfect’ men. Everyone looking, thinking, doing and saying the exact same as each other.
We are looking to improve you, who you are and how you live your life. We’ll help you create a better life for yourself by learning new skills and new ways of being and doing.
SKILLS AND TOPICS WE HOPE TO COVER
Here’s a rough guide of what we hope to cover – the actual subject matter will be tailored and adapted based on the needs of the courageous men who join Glasgow Man Club.
THE LIST (in no particular order)

- COOKING – Choosing cuts of meat, steaks etc, how to cook them, barbeque skills. How and what to cook for date night, cooking to impress.

- HAIR AND BEARD CARE – How to maintain a great beard or moustache. What style/cut suits your head or hairline.
- ETIQUETTE – What is expected of Man in today’s world. Should we hold doors open? Should we pay the bill or go Dutch? Mobile phone etiquette, when to switch it off or put it away. We will cover this minefield and lots more, making you confident and assured in any situation.

- RELATIONSHIPS – Whatever level of relationship you are in, it should be one of the happiest parts of your life. We will try and help you make your’s better (if possible). Making the relationship work, not just doing things because they made you. If you’re single, we’ll look at dating in this world of online/offline confusion. Relationships with your kids, what can you do (if anything) to be a better father and role model to your children.
- ‘MAN‘ SKILLS – This section will have us looking at traditional ‘man’ skills and fun to do stuff, things we either don’t need to do anymore, or simply have forgotten.
