    Never really thought about style until now...

    I specifically said: You don't have to be rich; you just have to be your own man and be on top of everything that's trying to crush you. What I'm getting at is that any one thing is not sufficient. The entire package is what attracts women. You need to be well-rounded. You need to take the...

    Never really thought about style until now...

    Besides being cheap, ugly, poorly-built, designed to wear out quickly, and the universal symbol to women that you have no idea how to actually dress, nothing. So you throw down $200 for a pair of Kenneth Coles. With heavy use they might last you a year or two, because they have rubber soles...

    Speaking Tour

    I don't have a Ph.D. I have two Bachelors degrees, an MBA in international finance, and post grad work in international development and regional studies, plus years of work in the military on provincial reconstruction teams. You don't need a Ph.D to write a book but you'll have a hell of a...

    I will never understand anyone over the age of 30 who wears: - skinny jeans - square-toed shoes (not chisel-points; I mean the square-toed Oxford popularized by Kenneth Cole, and its cousins in hell) - suede slip-on shoes -- Merrell "Jungle Mocs" or the $20 drugstore knock-off - athletic shoes...

    Globalization. Same as everyone else. A few new ideas, or so I'm told.

    It depends on your style. Ask Men has a pretty good grasp of basic concepts. But you're not going to go to, say, the Brooks Brothers blog if your thing is recent-flood-victim hipster chic. It never hurts to approach someone who's really put together well and ask him, outright, who his tailor...

    Need help, I'm needy through texts but not in person

    You've just taken your first step into a larger world.

    Agreed. This place could use a style section, with a separate section for the MM. Because some of us deadlift and would look stupid in skinny jeans. I went to Nordstrom for a makeover a few years ago, which involved biting the bullet to spend about $2500, then finding a salesman with a style I...

    serious question about my best plate

    Being tough doesn't mean you don't feel pain. Being tough means you feel pain and move forward anyway.

    honor and pride

    This. Also this. Boys chase women. Men attract them. That is all.

    A Crossroads

    This doesn't happen in the world we live in. I'm sorry, brother, but it doesn't happen, and it doesn't matter. Not in an era where 12-year-olds are sexting each other and 14-year-olds are determining their own sexual orientation. Hell, my brother found Brazzers in his 10-year-old son's browser...

    You can wish the world was different, or you can accept it as it is, figure it out, and go own it. Your choice.

    Speaking Tour

    My agent has booked me at an 8-city college speaking tour this month to promote my book, which is coming out in a couple of months. Let's talk social proof and being the alpha in the room: I will be lecturing in front of rooms full of impressionable young women, many of whom will be sowing...

    A Crossroads

    You have a better chance of being abducted by aliens than marrying a virgin. You would be insane to hold out for one. I don't care if a girl has slept with 20 guys. As long as it wasn't all in a row. Knowing what I now know, having been married for a long time and now widowed, I'd go for it...

    Seeing all the signs need to turn it around

    Maybe I missed something, but this is not a relationship advice site. If she's not digging you, move on. You brought grown-up drama into her life. Women who like older men like everything about us EXCEPT the grown-up drama. Unless we win at it. Winning at grown-up things is impressive. You...

    Answer me this...

    Current statistics estimate that roughly 3% of all children in the USA are admittedly the product of infidelity. That's one in 33 for those of you who suck at math. Most are raised by fathers who have no idea. This is "admittedly." Let's just stick with 3%. It's probably much higher. The...

    Dealing with anxiety of dating younger women

    This is a huge thing. I'd look like a creepy old perv if I went to a dance club. With gray hair, I'd look like a loser wearing an Ed Hardy shirt. Heck, I'd look like an idiot blasting One Republic in my car at my age. I wear shirts with collars and tuck them in. Even working from home. I...
