How to change a tyre, his personal alcohol limits and basic DIY are all on the list of essential man facts, according to researchers.

研究人员表示，怎么更换轮胎、了解自己的酒量如何，以及一些基本的DIY技巧都被列为男人必备的技能。

Researchers have unveiled a list of 50 things every "real" man should know - including wiring a plug, knowing the offside rule, and how to interpret what a woman means.

A study of 2,000 adults and found every man should also know how to wet shave, polish his shoes and give a confident handshake.

He should also be able to identify which wires are "live", "earth" and "neutral" in a plug, be confident explaining the offside rule and know the difference between ale and lager.

The research, which was commissioned by William Hill, found additionally a man should know his wedding anniversary without having to pause to think.

He should also be able to name the last three England football managers and always know what his other half drinks.

Which way is north, where the car's spare tyre is kept and how much fuel you have left when the petrol light comes on also made the top 50 list.

The study also revealed that when a man hears a woman claim "she's fine" - he should be astute enough to realise she's far from fine.

Other essential things to know in life were basic DIY, laundry and even map reading skills appeared in the 50 man facts, while acing parallel parking and driving in snow were also necessities.

Sporting a well-knotted tie, being able to introduce himself confidently and also knowing his own alcohol limits are still important qualities for a man to be familiar with.

And the cave-man qualities are still well regarded - knowing how to start a camp fire, carve meat properly and light a barbecue all appear in the list.

Nearly half the men studied (47 per cent) felt they weren't up to scratch based on the number of the 50 things they were able to tick off.

In fact, just 46 per cent felt they could consider themselves a 'manly' man.

And a panicked fifth of men have faked their way through a conversation about football, pretending to know things they didn't or having opinions on teams they really had no clue about- all in a bid to not seem non-sporty.
