      'Dudes Next Door' Spread Cool Via Email

      Binoculars that can be discreetly filled with alcohol and a giant burger that requires the use of five napkins exemplify the "dude next door" cool that Thrillist.com promises with its daily emails, Meredith Goldstein writes in the Boston Globe . The 3-year-old site has 300,000 subscribers, say its founders, who hope to rival female-centric DailyCandy.com. (Just think "gadgets and beer" rather than "eyebrow tweezers," Goldstein notes.)

Read up, she says, and "you'll be able to stop repelling the women you want to meet—or aggravating the one you have." Nail clippings on the nightstand are a no-no. Observe basic hygiene. Avoid vague talk of the future—is she in it or not? Don't text before the first date. Have the guts to call. More »

      Men Trade Crunches for Corsets

      Undergarments that tuck the tummy and boost the butt are enjoying a surge in sales—and not just in the women's department. The male "shapewear" industry is growing by leaps and bounds as men discover that they don't have to lunge and crunch to get that taut shape. Say hello to "support boxers" and "compression shorts." Just don't use the "G-word," the Wall Street Journal warns. More »

      10 Tips for the Stylish Gent

      Natty British designer Paul Smith outlines his do's and don'ts for the 21st-century gentlemen in a cagey Details interview . Cologne lovers, beware: T-shirts seem easy, but they're a big no-no; go with a collar. A good, bland haircut is better than a failed stylish one. Women first! Don't ignore them in favor of a pal at dinner. Dress for the occasion, but chuck the bow tie if no one else is wearing. More »

      Man-Training Manual Finally Hits the Stores

      A woman who has long compared men to dogs has a book coming out and a movie in the works, all plugging the notion that men can be trained. But critics fear that What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love and Marriage is another pop psych title that props up gender cliches, and therapists warn that Sutherland's notions are cute but no cure-all. "In small doses, it's a really good idea," one told Newsweek . More »

      Spas for Guys Combine Beer, TV and Manicures

      Spas and salons that cater exclusively to men—complete with manicures, facials, and straight-edge razor shaves—are popping up across the US. But instead of the pastel-colored decor found in a traditional salon, these spas include flat-panel TVs set to ESPN, beer on tap, and pool tables, reports the Wall Street Journal. The newspaper sent out four intrepid reporters to test the waters, and they came back with generally positive reviews. More »

      Beau Better Than Hubby on Chores

      Live-in lovers are more likely to empty the dishwasher and take out the garbage than husbands, according to the latest research reported in Newsweek. In a study of 17,000 men, boyfriends reported doing more household chores than their married counterparts. And it gets better. Partners who share the chores have better sex lives.  More »

    • Standing Up for Bathroom Diversity

      Standing Up for Bathroom Diversity

      Why can't a man have a urinal in his home? Screenwriter Joel Stein sought to fulfill his lifelong dream but then ran into a neighbor who “explained that urinals, to my shock, gross women out.” Unsanitary lidlessness, along with an unfortunate name—which conjures the word “crapinals”—are only part of the problem, Stein writes. The fact is, urinals “are simply too aggressively male.” More »

      If I Said You Had an Incredible Body...

      Cheesy pickup lines aren’t just a turn off, but a measure of a man’s “genes and fitness,” according to a new study in Personality and Individual Differences. They also reveal the personality the man is looking for. Men know ladies aren’t fond of sexual jokes, for example, but researchers theorize that the lines are designed to find more promiscuous partners. More »

      Women Have Been Falling for Brad Pitt Types for 2.6M Years

      The facial proportions of the average hot guy haven't changed much throughout human  evolutionary history, finds a new study that compares contemporary human skulls with skulls from 2.6 million years ago. Women have been selecting for males with short, broad faces—think Brad Pitt and Will Smith—since the dawn of man, and chimps do the same. More »

      Macho Men Seen as Cheaters, Poor Dads

      Macho-looking men are perceived as poor parenting material and more likely to cheat on their mates, according to recent study on sex and masculinity. "When people look at masculine faces they see dominance, which is a good thing in evolution but less good in a long-term partner," said the lead researcher. More »

      Don't Get Mad, Get Even (Financially)

      Women who show anger in the workplace undercut their professional standing, but their male counterparts may well be admired for their office rage, says a new study. And public temper tantrums affect more than just co-workers' respect, Reuters reports—test subjects assigned far higher salaries to angry men than to angry women. More »

      Drinking Coffee May Fight Colon Cancer

      Drinking three or more cups of coffee a day can cut the risk of colon cancer in half—but the benefit manifests itself only in women. What's more, Reuters reports, the research was conducted in Japan, where men drink and smoke so much that scientists had trouble controlling for those factors. More »

      Divorce Rate Hits 37-Year Low

      America's divorce rate has been dropping steadily for decades; this year breakups reached their lowest level since 1970. But that doesn't mean todays' relationships are more stable: More couples are living together without tying the knot. Divorces are down by a third since their peak in 1981, but marriages themselves are also down 30%. More »

      Study: Men Work Hard, Too

      Men and women work about the same number of hours—if you count labor at home as well as on the job, a new study claims. Despite the popular wisdom that women do more heavy lifting, a broad survey of 25 countries, spanning the economic spectrum,  found that both sexes toil about 7.9 hours a day, Slate reports. More »
