Here’s who you need in your inner circle for every decade
By Patrick Wensink
Not even the most resourceful and capable man can make it alone in this world. Sometimes it’s essential that you’ve got a guy. But let’s be honest, the kind of guy you need in your inner circle at 25 is a lot different than the guy you’ll need at 45, who couldn’t be more different than the guy you need at 5.
We’ve got you covered. Here’s our essential guide to every type of guy you need to know, from the first five decades of your life.
AGE 5
A guy who knows a guy who knows a guy that can score you Skittles in 20 minutes. What your kindergarten teacher doesn’t know won’t hurt her.
A guy with wheels. Might be a tricycle, might be a Power Wheels truck, might be a shopping cart. Point is, things on wheels are fun.
A Castle Grayskull Owner. (Or the generational equivalent for your age.) It’s your first glimpse at how the other half lives and your first burning desire to get a job in order to buy cool stuff that your parents won’t.
A guy to teach you to use a pocket knife or to light a bottle rocket with a cigar. Also known as a grandpa. Those dudes are the best.
A guy who makes dirty crayon drawings. Sure, they're just drawings of poop and boobs, and it’s a little too impressionistic for your tastes in art, but poop and boobs will likely be the centerpiece of your humor for the next eight decades. Get acquainted.
