Relationships are the foundation of our lives. Whether it’s work, family, romance or the building of community, it’s all about relationships between human beings. They’re also one of the trickier parts about being a human, and doing them better is one of the ways that we can improve ourselves and the relationships that matter to us.
Here, I want to offer my thoughts on some ways that men can improve their relationships. Not all of this will be about others; in fact, most of these are things...
For most men, there has not been a great deal of change in our dress shoes for decades. If you work in an office job, go to the occasional wedding, or even just have them stashed in a closet, the standards are black or brown lace-up oxfords.
But, with the weather getting warmer and different contexts for formal events coming up, now is a good time to re-evaluate those old standbys. Here, I want to talk about expanding your repertoire of summer dress shoes to give your look a more...
There’s been a lot of hype recently about chicken sandwiches at fast food restaurants. They’re all claiming superiority, but only one sandwich can be the best. You probably don’t care enough to try them all, so we did it for you. Yes, we’ve missed a few, but who really eats the old version chicken sandwich at the 3rd tier chain? Based on our long-term love of fried food and our lack of fear of fast food, our rankings follow. We usually order the sandwich with mayo only. No pickles, no...
With the weather getting warmer, it’s about time to change up the menu for your home cooking, which a lot of folks have gotten into for the past year. Here, I want to go over ten of my favorite summer meals.
Instead of offering in-depth recipes for each, I’ll give the idea, a description of what I do, and then let you take care of portions and seasoning for your own needs and tastes. Much of my cooking is for one or two, so general proportions will make a lot more sense than trying to make...
For much of the past century, hats have fallen out of style in menswear: long gone are the days where men wore a hat with every outfit, taking it off when they entered a building as a matter of course. Now, they’ve become something more niche in fashion.
More recently, a lot of men have shied away from hats; the idea of the less than flattering fedora with a t-shirt look from about a decade ago have turned a lot of us off from headwear. But, I don’t think it has to be this way. Here, I want...
Northrop Grumman and the US Air Force recently released renderings of the B-21 Raider, the next generation of stealth bomber. The Raider, named after the Doolittle Raiders for their surprise attacks on Japan during World War II, will be the most technologically advanced bomber in the world. One of the renderings released shows a wide, sleek aircraft with a flying wing design resembling that of the B-2 Spirit. The Air Force plans to use the B-21 to replace their aging fleet of B-1B Lancers...
The days are getting longer and hotter: that must mean it’s summer. With the change in season comes a change in palates, and a key element to any menu is the drinks. Today, we’re going to cover ten of the drinks that we think go great with this summer. Most of these will be cocktails, which we source from Mitte Hellmich’s excellent work The Ultimate Bar Book. But, not every occasion calls for a drink, so we certainly have some awesome non-alcoholic options as well to keep you refreshed even...
Considering you’ve read the title and you’re still here, I imagine that you are open to change in terms of style. That’s good because the first thing I’m going to do is ask you to, for a moment, suspend your skepticism of sandals.
For some time now, sandals have been really frowned upon in men’s fashion circles, and not without good reason: a lot of us have bad memories (or pictures) of white socks with black nylon sandals and jeans. Mistakes were made. We know this, and we can move on...
Tired of spending hours mowing your lawn? Honda might have the answer with their Mean Mower V2, a 200hp lawnmower that goes 0-100mph in 6.29 seconds and has a top speed of 150mph. While it may not look like a traditional lawnmower, it can still cut grass and can allegedly do so at speeds up to 50mph – just think of all the time you would save. Unfortunately, Honda is not expecting to bring it to mass market. At an estimated cost of over $120,000/mower, we can’t say we blame them.

It’s no secret that first round draft picks get paid serious money, and this year was no exception. The 2021 NFL Draft added 32 new players to the league in the first round, and even the 32nd pick is set to make $11.2 million. Each rookie gets a 4 year contract, and the total contract value is split out between a signing bonus and yearly salaries. The difference of a few picks can mean the difference in millions of dollars in contract value for the rookies. We compiled a list of all the...
Who were the funniest comedians during the Coronavirus Pandemic? "wait, what, what the heck are you doing" I hear you might be asking. :D Stick with me for just a minute. I think this is an important comedic time for us quarantined at home glued to streaming media like YouTube. Not only were we a captive audience, but we needed some humor maybe more than any other time in our lives. Beyond that who were the comedians that worked hard and kept the comedy coming out. Performing a...
Mega mansion developer Nile Niami recently unveiled his latest listing: a $340 million property in Bel-Air. The home comes in at a modest 105,000 square feet, making it the third largest home in the US. The structure sits on a 5-acre plot of land with panoramic views of the much less properties below. Construction took over 8 years and 600 laborers to complete, and it’s easy to see why. While the size is impressive in itself, the house has a long list of amenities that are sure to interest...
