Go to any discussion where the audience is mixed (men and women) and you will find a ton of women speaking up and the guys standing with their arms crossed looking on intently. There’s a reason for this – women, who have battle stripes from warring each other, tend to argue better than we do. Many women employ a “gang beatdown” style of arguing which can leave the offender bruised and ruined so smart men stay clear, choosing to let It die down rather than suffering the claws. When I get into battle, whether it be in a blog commentary, group discussion, or a debate, I make sure that I am heard, I am respected and most importantly, I get my point across. I do this by arguing intelligently, using the truth as my sword (this weapon is the Excalibur of weapons), and a stern voice. It makes me seem mean and domineering to those… [Read more]

Fun fact for the ladies: Men NEVER get over it. Women hate on other women due to the chance that this other woman can easily “take their man” due to the upgrade potential right? This is what was relayed to me from a female colleague that I debated with as she explained why Angelina Jolie was public enemy number one for women after acquiring Brad Pitt as her beau. The way she explained it was that a man standing with his girl who is a 7 (8 if she really tries) on the looks scale can easily lose her man to a 10 who puts in the extra sex appeal and game to upgrade to a 15 – which (according to her) renders us men into to slobbing, drooling, helpless cheaters. Brothers of the man race, this is how our women see it, and it is the reason why it is never okay for you… [Read more]

Have you ever made an advance at a particularly sexy lady, only to have her blow you off out of nowhere? What about when you hear from her girlfriend later on that you creeped her out and she was afraid of you? Chances are you have done one of the 5 things listed here, and if that is the case we offer up some suggestions on how to avoid being creepy when talking to a woman. 1. Prolonged Eye Contact  This is a tricky one because there is a thin line between a lingering glance and a blatant stare. A man should avoid staring down a woman because it can come off as intimidating and scary. Stare down your enemy, not the cute young thing that you want to have sex with. If you find that your attempt at eye-contact is constantly leading to women putting you in their blinders, then chances are you are… [Read more]

I have always held the opinion that if you had a choice in your employment ( as in anything above slavery) then you have no place to complain to people about it. To be honest about it, I think this of anything in life; if there is a choice to opt out, then stop whining and opt out! Let me explain further for people sitting in the nose-bleeds; if I work at a bank and hate my boss, during a time where many of the people I know are out of work and unable to get a job much less benefits… the moment I open my mouth to complain about how I hate my job and boss, then I am seen as a whiner. There is a thin line between complaining and whining which is separated by the way it comes off to others. If you use the bathroom in my house and piss on… [Read more]

In my humble opinion, nothing is a greater test of heart for a man than sports and combat. You can train, study and read all you want but when the jaws of life slams shut, you only have 2 choices – fight or fold. It is after reacting and recovering that you truly know what you are; are you the champion, rolling off of your oponent with his warm heart beating within your teeth, or are you the victim being tended to by the medical staff? The deciding factor isn’t about winning or losing, no, the decider is whether or not your spirit fought back. People try to theorize that the instinct to fight is born of our environment but I believe that it goes deeper than that. Sure the poor kid who has been fighting since birth has enough experience to fight when pushed but that isn’t to say that the trust-fund baby won’t… [Read more]

The act of dating your friend’s wife or girlfriend after he dies or leaves is always viewed as suspect from other males. So men, answer me this: What goes through your head as a man when your newly dead friend’s ex-wife sends you an invitation to her wedding and the husband is his brother? Is it the same thing that goes through your head when a man gets a lengthy sentence in prison and you find out that she’s now sleeping with his best friend? What about the “best friend” who finds himself over at the military wife’s house weekly, then a few months later he’s spending nights? All very different situations, different people and different levels of loss and need from the woman’s standpoint but one thing remains constant with these: To the outsider’s eye it looks as if the man took advantage of her. On the surface the sight of a woman being… [Read more]

The word Man comes with many different definitions from many different people who (respectfully) have their own means and agendas that come with it. Man is defined through the individual’s subjective opinion, influenced (and not lightly) by religion, society, race, prejudice and theories. This includes myself and any other writer with an opinion on the matter, and it is the reason why I felt the need to pen this article. There is no universal codex on what a man is, outside of having a cock and balls – that’s the long and short of it folks, take it for what it is. There is however a code that a person can adapt and abide by for life, which makes them stand out as an extraordinary individual. This code is what Hall of The Black Dragon is about; it’s about a certain type of man: a ladies man and a man’s man all rolled into one…. [Read more]
