What's even better is that every man just knows.
We don't get taught it, we don't explain it to each other. You just know a good stick, and the guy you shows knows its a good stick, and it brings you joy.
Honestly. There are women that get it but it's super rare. Cool sticks, no matter the age are just something we like. I used to own this almost perfectly straight stick with no branches. That, that was a nice stick.
My best stick was a perfectly sized "Devil's Walking Stick" I cut from a coppiced stump. Beautiful thorns up and down the thing with the handle being naturally bare.
When I was like 8 me and the boys found these 3 perfectly smooth metal rods that had a slight bend about 70% down the length. Basically had the skeleton shape of a rifle.
Needless to say we never let those things leave our sight until eventually the rust started to take them.
Zen and the Art of Stick Finding
I said this in a similar Twitter thread about a year ago. Every boy who is old enough to walk and run knows what it means to find a "good stick." Its literally in our DNA.
It's called imagination.
Sadly, it seems like not many women have it.
Some do, like the great Rumiko Takahashi. This one clearly does not.
R/askmen is where women go to ask questions about men that other women answer on men's behalf.
That's exactly what that sub is. Never understood why.
Narrative framing.
It's a really good habit to have. You have to remember that we had reduced countless species much larger and much more fearsome than us to bones with those "useless sticks" so that you may sleep soundly at night. All of civilization began with the question of what you can do with a good stick.
Rocks, sticks, and ropes -- every good civilisation had to start somewhere, and those were the cornerstone utilities to make it happen.

Don't forget simply walking them to death. Sure that gazelle might be able to sprint away faster but give a dedicated hunter an hour or two and he'll come back with an exhausted kill he simply walked after.
Primitive man came out on top of everyone else because a Spear was the high technology of the day.
Who remembers Log from Ren & Stimpy?
And the Log Song too
Now I have the song in my head.
My work here is done
It's better than bad, it's good!
I remember them turning fake and gay.
They have a dog. Why wouldn't they want to keep at least one good stick?
Got to keep in mind most women see pets as a fashion statement for social media clout more than anything. Watch comparison vids where a dog behaves around the woman of the house vs the man of the house which will be titled along the lines of "Why does my dog love him more?" because said woman has zero ability to join the dots.
All of this next to countless vids of the same woman posing with the dog without realising that highlights her own behaviour, while the man will have next to no social media content of the dog bar actual actions taking place, like throwing a stick...
This is why women are terrible at building civilizations.
The female mind could never comprehend.
But can it compete with a high-quality crow stick? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-HF-wBwQsc
The parents even teach their young what a good stick is and how to use them.
Corvidae are amazing.
Bloody clever little bastards as well, upset one once it'll remember you
Befriending them also gets benefits, so I try for that.
It's a wand, a sword, a spear, a walking stick , a dog amuser and in australia my favourite usage is as a cobweb remover when walking outside at night.
All of technology is built on the foundation of man's intuitive ability to judge the quality of natural resources. A man who can't appreciate a good stick is not a man.
Sticks are the base of which civilization is created.. sticks for fuel, weapons, shelter, and tools that can be used to create more advance shit. Anyone that plays minecraft or rust knows that you start out with a stick and use that to get better tools which is used to get even better tools. Even when you are super advance, you always come back to the stick for some basic use.
When I taught history and anthropology, I would begin a semester by showing my students a stick. The students show their ideas of what the stick can be turned into. I then explain the stick never changed, but our thoughts of it did.
We go through a few slides of things that are different depending on how you think about them. Guns, swords, cultural objects, and others are discussed.
It's a great way to explain perspective and thought to students. Now I realize many of the female students didn't get it.
how can I use this stick to revive the roman empire
Put a long, skinny piece of soft iron at one end and throw it at barbarians and Gauls (but I repeat myself).
That's just like one woman's opinion, man
Let's not start with the dumb Reddit memes.
A stick is a great thing. Why, the roman empire ran on the things.
Not true. Stick guns are awesome!
99% sure my boys and I did this exact same thing...more than once.
Boys simply like "things" and especially things that can be tools or weapons. It's not taught, it's 100% innate.
Speak softly, carry a big stick
Women always want carrots, even if everyone would benefit with more sticks.
Or karats
So... Dogs are helping us make weapons?!
Weapons for Man and Dog. Or y'know, WMDs.
Hey, an arrow.
A stick: AKA "My First Light Saber" VZSHOOOOOM!!
"Really Dinobot. A stick?"
