BBdK (aka "the stalker"). And of course your post had nothing to do with this thread. As usual, BBdK = "worst poster on the Paddock".
Music smarts (reading music, understanding theory/scales, etc) and singing. Pretty ignorant and awful, respectively, on those things.
Been working on developing those skills myself. There is a lot of satisfaction and frustration in the process of building furniture, but so far, I really enjoy it. I would encourage you to give it a try if you have an interest.
Ability to play guitar. (Not just simple three-chord songs. I wanna shred)
Ability to play drums.

I hear ya Hooj. I often thought about that. I can live with giving myself a hand job, but to actually suck it? Man, that's where I draw the line. Now, I do kinda wish I could smell my own butthole, just to see what my wife smells when she is down there.
You can always smell her finger on the days you can't deliver the deuce and she has to loosen things up.
That is more of a superpower than a skill. A skill would be having the ability to casually chat women up & get them to show them to you.
1). Surfing.
1A). The ability to deliver bone-crunching Witches of Eastwick orgasms (to women only).

Practically speaking, the correct answer is coding. It's already a $150k+ skill, requires little-to-no other skills other than some highschool math, and it future proofs your career. If you know how to code, you're one step ahead of 98% of people in your industry.
The fun (and also practical) answer is the ability to woo any and every female. Everything a guy does in his life is for snatch. Cut to the chase, make it so every woman wants to give you theirs.

The ability to grow a flap of skin covering my earholes when the wife is talking to her mother on the phone.
^ This!
I love music and have it playing most of the day, every day. I play a mean air guitar! But I'd love to be able to shred on a guitar like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Writing convincingly. It's a lost cause at my age--- but to be able to assemble ideas and write in such a way as to clearly frame an issue and verbally illustrate the overview would be so satisfying for me. Alas I can't even come up with a good bumper sticker.
I take this to question the worth of coding? Better believe it. Programmer is now a top5 hottest job over the last few years. Even a mildly decent programmer can make $100k+ in a 25-35 ranked market. It's the new way to invent something. If you have an idea to make a product or make something easier in life + coding ability = set for life.
I can do this (surfing). It is by far one of the hardest sports to try and learn when you're older. I've had a couple of near death drownings during the winter time a few years ago and you just underestimate how dangerous it is. I've only seen one shark too so that's good.
But yeah. It's one of the best rushes you can get when you do it right but it takes awhile t learn. Plus tons of surfers are total elitist dicks. That's the only bad part.
Anyways; I wish I could sculpt because I've seen the bank that these guys make that sell authentic cosplay to nerds. There's a guy named Aniki who specializes in making Power Rangers authentic props, helmets, etc to sell to adult nerds for $1,400 each.
My son took surfing lessons at the beach this summer vaca. He popped up a couple times and had decent rides. I was thrilled for him.
Every time I see a surf competition or documentary- I watch it like Shawshank - beginning to end.

Me too. I always wanted to learn to play, but lost most of my hearing a long time ago and that put a stop to that. I can't even listen to music. Maybe Cochlear Implants would fix that.
