As dating and relationships have evolved, so have men and women. You see a lot of men joining the metrosexual movement as a result of women wanting their men to show a more sensitive (feminine) side. This is not the case for all women of course, but there are a lot out there who want a man who isn’t afraid to go get a manicure or pedicure. Some women are wanting men who are willing to depart from the neanderthal ways of the past where women were beat over the head and dragged by ponytail. But at the same time women do not want their men to become too feminine, and they want that neanderthal to come out at times. Depending on what your approach is you have to know the right times to be the neanderthal and the times where it will get you in trouble. leave the metrosexual stuff at home When you… [Read more]

I’m going to start this one off with a simple reminder. The Getting Sharp series is about refining the edges to look like a fresh, sharp dude. It’s personal advice that I’ve compiled for the past few years. What makes me an authority on it? Nothing really. I’m not a fashion designer. I’m just a simple, self-conscious guy who has tried to improve my own style by looking at what other people are doing right and wrong. So let’s talk about shoes. What you wear for rims is kinda a broad range of options. I’m not gonna sit back and try to say which brands are best, or what shade of neon you should pick for your modern 80’s Velcro hightops. As with the previous lessons, I’m targeting what you should pay attention to when you’re wearing a button down shirt, in a medium formal-formal occasion.

Women I know you are moving to blur the lines even more as time goes on but please for the love of god accept our machismo and stop trying to change it. When a dude doesn’t cry over a breakup or runs to a blog to spew a whole bunch of “bitches ain’t shit” that doesn’t mean he’s insensitive, or cold, it means that he’s a man. When men as a whole start crying because their women dumped them and start bemoaning how much they miss their exes I think it’s time for the UFO to come whisk me off this little planet because at that time we have completely tapped out. The death of the Alpha Male was a hard loss to suffer but for the red blooded gangster male to die too, I just don’t know if that would make anyone happy – yes that means you too. I’ve seen three friends suffer… [Read more]

Okay, one of these Ketel One commercials came on last night and I found myself nodding in approval at everything being said. The genuine look and feel of the well-to-do boys sharing some spirits, sans metrosexual Ed Hardy shirts. An air of money and the raspy announcer’s voice upping the macho meter just a few notches. Being a vodka man myself, I tend to get thirsty seeing these things and whenever the commercial comes on I immediately crave a vodka/gin martini or a sexy Russian babe with accent. In any event, here are a few of the ads, I really like these and I like the message. There’s nothing like boy’s night out. Can I get an amen? Ketel One – Table Ketel One – Bar Ketel One – Street
