These Are The Skills That Modern Men Are Losing

It's not exactly breaking news to say that men today aren't as manly as their fathers and grandfathers. But how about some stats to prove it anyway?

A new survey asked guys in their 20s and 60s about different "manly" skills. Here are the ones that are going extinct:

2. Fixing a leaky faucet, 35%.
3. Changing the oil in your car, 19%.
4. Changing a diaper, 18%.
5. Filleting a fish, 15%.
6. Growing and maintaining a nice beard, 12%.
7. Throwing or hitting a curveball, 6%.
