How to Not be a Jerk While Discussing Politics on the Internet

How to Not be a Jerk While Discussing Politics on the Internet

This is a sponsored post. I was compensated by the Ford Fiesta Movement to write this article, but was given creative freedom to decide the manner in which to do it. All views and opinions are my own, and I was given total control. There’s something about the internet that turns relatively mild-mannered guys into blathering morons...
Why More Men Should Own Cats

Why More Men Should Own Cats

Dogs are a man’s best friend. While this may certainly be true, men shouldn’t limit their furry companion options with dogs. More men should own cats; there are plenty of reasons why cats are both entertaining and interesting, and there are plenty of man-heroes out there who had a great time with their feline buds....
Manly or Not Manly: Crotch Rockets

Manly or Not Manly: Crotch Rockets

We’ve all seen them: those guys on the sleek motorcycles, usually brightly-colored, and often speeding down the highway. For lack of a better term, they’re lovingly-referred to as crotch rockets. These bikes elicit a range of responses from guys, everything from “Wow, what a schmohawk” to “Whoa, nice ride.” In this “manly or not manly,”...

Dan Chung’s “Mongolian Racer” Film Explores Naadam Festival

The Mongolian naadam festival is an annual festival that dates back centuries, even before Genghis Khan, and is now held on July 11-13th in order to commemorate the 1921 Mongolian revolution which resulted in the formation of the Mongolian People’s Republic.  Naadam, which literally means “games,” is a three day exhibition of “manly games” which include wrestling,...

Manly or Not Manly: Pet Names

Pet names: sweetie pie, sugar, baby, and even schmoopie. Creating a finite list of all the possible pet names guys have used for their significant other is a futile task. The range of names and variations are as extensive as a database of all the couples to ever exist, but one question underlies them all:...

These 85 Year Old Best Friends are Awesome

Harvey and Eddie are two 85 year old best friends who are clearly loving life. If you don’t smile when you watch this video, you’re wrong. These two guys, as far as we can tell from the video, are some of the most delightful people ever. Around the 3 minute mark, we see a woman...
Manly or Not Manly: Sandals

Manly or Not Manly: Sandals

Sandals. Pretty much everyone has a pair, but only a select few wear them on the reg’. Our resident expert, Maria, says they’re never attractive on men, and makes us look like “overgrown man-children.” However, when it’s 100 degrees out there, are sandals the only real choice? Are sandals manly or not manly? The argument...
Manly or Not Manly: Sharing Food With a Guy

Manly or Not Manly: Sharing Food With a Guy

I’m going to lay out a general rule: sharing is manly. In general, sharing money, food, clothing, time, jokes, and whatnot is manly–especially when you’re doing something like helping the poor. However, as with most things in life, there are limits and exceptions to the general rule. The exception up for debate is dudes sharing...
4 Coming of Age Rituals for Men

4 Coming of Age Rituals for Men

Hazing, becoming a man, initiation, breaking someone in, and starting someone off. Whatever you want to call it, these types of rituals span the entire ambit of human life and cultures. However, they are all premised on the same fundamental idea: that the participant will be a different person after an event than you were...
