DATING ADVICE OF THE WEEK

The Nice Guy Myth

Why? "Nice" is jilted-guy code for "needy."
You hear it all the time: "Women won't go for a guy like me... I'm too nice." It's kind of a cutting remark, as it implies that girls are rejecting them for all sorts of self-defeating irrational reasons, and preferring the company of sociopaths and gangsters to upstanding citizens like themselves. Unfortunately, "nice" -- in this context -- means "neurotic, clingy, and likely to cry after sex". Check out the video for a full breakdown of what's nice and what's necessary.

REVELATION OF THE WEEK

Why Women Have Sex

Why? Sorry, it's not the body spray.
Unlike, say, you, women have sex for a multitude of complicated and occult reasons. Lacking a body part that dramatically changes dimensions when they're, you know, â€œgood to goâ€ (these are clinical terms, of course), the fairer sex has evolved a series of strange internal processes that tell them when to start their engines. Your mission? Identify & exploit.

FITNESS TIP OF THE WEEK

How To Gain Muscle If You're Skinny

Why? It's time to lift something heavier than a cigarette.
It's not easy being a rock-star-from-1978 type. Though your tattered Blondie T-shirt hangs as elegantly from your emaciated shoulders as it ever did, American girls in 2012 seem to be going for a different look. A guy-who-won't-disintegrate-into-ashes-if-you-hug-him look. Could it be time to put down the burnt spoon and pick up some protein powder? We think so.

ADVENTURE OF THE WEEK

Commercial Space Flight

Why? For only $200,000, all the danger and uncertainty of space flight can be yours.
Today's cosmopolitan, well-traveled woman isn't easy to impress. You can't just show up in a faded T-Shirt from Senor Frog's and expect to be greeted as some sort of dashing, international man of mystery. Hell, we've met chicks who, with straight and sharply cheekboned faces, will sit there and say things like "Ja, Istanbul is over." Time to step it up. Way up.

GROOMING ADVICE OF THE WEEK

Classic Haircuts

Why? You can't always just ask for the "Justin Bieber."
Guys who desire overly specific hairstyles have it pretty rough. You go in for the "Keith Richards in 1972" and you come out with the "Balki Bartokomous in 1986." You want River Phoenix? You get H.L. Mencken. Jon Bon Jovi? Your mom's friend Jackie. Maybe it's best to stick with the classics.

RELATIONSHIP ADVICE OF THE WEEK

Things Women Wish Men Knew

Why? Something is wrong, and she's not about to make it easy.
Picture it: It's early evening, New York City, and you're walking hand-in-hand down Rivington Street. You're taking it in, you know, checking out the little bars, the restaurants, when suddenly she stops in her tracks and is like, "Oh, my god! That's the place, isn't it? Remember? Our first trip here? That night on the balcony? Let's go!" Pro tip? It was over when you said, "Yeah, but I'm actually more in the mood for wings."
