20 Things That Every Man Should Try At Least Once in Their Life




Life is short, and it is important to live it to the fullest. You might have an idea of the some of the things that you would like to do, the people you’d like to meet, and the places that you’d like to go to. Most gents will hopefully get inspired by a few of the following things. Because as the mighty Will Smith said in ‘Hitch,’ life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

  1. Go somewhere spontaneous; book a flight on the same day as it takes off. How many of us have wanted to do this and then just chickened out?
  2. Go to a World Cup match. The atmosphere and the culture of the host country would be worth it alone, I think.
  3. Get a custom made suit. Having a suit that fits perfectly is the dream, right? Even if you don’t wear a suit to work, it’s nice to just have it roll out for special occasions.
  4. Drive your dream car. Even if it is just for a track day rather than owning one. Though owning would be amazing. Start saving those pennies.
  5. Learn to play a musical instrument to a pretty decent level. Everyone loves a man that can play music for them. So why not take up a new hobby this year that involves a musical instrument.
  6. Everyone has to have been skinny dipping at least once in their life, right?
  7. Play soccer with your friends in bubble soccer suits. It looks like so much fun.
  8. Do something crazy like going skydiving or a bungee jump.
  9. Climb Machu Picchu or Mount Kilimanjaro.
  10. Raise money for charity by doing something for other people.
  11. Attend a Grand Prix race. The Monaco one would be the dream but let’s face it; any would work!
  12. Fire a gun. Regardless of your opinion on them, it can be an experience to shoot one at a driving range. Those things have power.
  13. Visit all seven continents in the world. There is so much to see and do on earth, where do you start? So just think about the continents you have already been to and go from there.
  14. Have a proper razor shave in a salon. The ultimate thing for any gentleman, of course.
  15. Scuba dive in the great barrier reef. If you’re going to go scuba diving, then it may as well be there.
  16. Donate money to charity anonymously. There is something quite satisfying about doing something for someone else when they don’t know about it.
  17. Design an app. If you can bring it to life then even better. It could turn into a small business if it goes well.
  18. Solve a Rubik’s cube. Man points right there.
  19. See a show on Broadway. Regardless of what show you choose to see, it is a pretty great place to see a show.
  20. Build a treehouse. You might have had one as a kid, or want to build one for your kids. A project and fun rolled into one.

Have you ever done any of these things? Good luck!
