Attracting Women

Men worry about having enough money, being tall enough, fit enough, hairy enough and strong enough "to be her man." What secretly appeals about your physical look may surprise you...

 Winning at Work

In the workplace and business, people do irrational things. Working with personality styles makes it easy to win...

The End of the World

December 21, 2012 came and went, and whether there was to be a mystery asteroid striking the planet, or sunspots, or whether it was to be a work of Man (like nuclear holocaust) that was to cause the Apocalypse, dates in history and markers of our lives simply remind us of choices - forks in the road where, yes, there may be a need for grief, but there is also an opportunity for transition and renewal.

One of the best quotes about fear, grief, loss and courage as a man in particular that you might have encountered is from Teddy Roosevelt:

A lot has been written in recent years about how to approach women. It seems at some point between 1985 and 1999, men in America and elsewhere completely forgot how to go out on the town with friends, have fun, and meet a few girls along the way. In the last several years, the rules seem to have changed.

Or have they?  Well, not really, if you remember just four simple things when you go out. They're easy to remember and the kinds of things that a wise older brother (or astute parent) might have told you:

The American holiday, Thanksgiving, has just passed - a time for doing just as it sounds: expressing thanks for what you have in your life, and your relationships.

Rising to Power: The New Science of "The Zone"

Men are wired to worry about how they fare against other men. How do we stack up, and where do we fit in to the hierarchy? This ancient reflex makes perfect evolutionary sense. Consider that males, because of their larger body size and muscularity, hunted and killed in primitive times.

How to Be Sloppy and Still Win (With Women Too!)

It's been a long time since I religiously followed a sports team - probably as far back as the Pittsburgh Steelers of my childhood. They were an incredible sight to see, with the most exciting passing game known to man at the time in the form of receivers Lynn Swann and John Stallworth. Well those days have been gone for a long, long time. That is, until I discovered the NY Giants once I moved to New York City.

Once upon a time, men were friends, and they'd help each other for free. Today, everyone's a "Dating Guru" instead... I’d come back from London’s “Bootcamp,” but it was actually more of a Men’s Expedition to be honest.

I had a female Arch-Enemy until two nights ago, when a stunning and unexpected thing happened.
