64. Put Animals at Ease
Remember that scene in Crocodile Dundee when he hypnotizes the water buffalo? That was awesome.
Whether you’re soothing a barking dog or calming a spooked horse, when you put an animal at ease, you put people at ease. That’s cool. Especially if you do it by whispering in it’s ear or gently stroking it’s head. You should try to make it look like you’re using some kind of Voodoo/Dr. Doolitle ninja trick.
At the end of the day, being “good” with animals is like being “good” with children. It won’t make you rich or famous, but it looks classy and it makes women melt.

NOTE: It’s important to not spend alot of time practicing this skill on pigeons in a public place. Not cool. Work with puppies and kittens whenever possible.
