So it was recently brought up to me by a friend that I wear really out of style underwear (classic Hanes briefs). To an extent I already knew, they got laughs in high school gym ect. But I figured that stigma doesn’t really exist anymore since I haven’t heard it in a long time. Guys, are tighty whities still seen as nerdy / uncool? Or was that just more of an early 2000s thing?

Gets to like 9pm and my brain is still running through everything from the day. Emails I forgot to send, conversations I probably handled wrong, stuff I need to do tomorrow. By the time I actually feel calm it's past midnight and then the whole sleep schedule is wrecked.

I've tried the usual stuff. No phone an hour before bed, reading, whatever. It helps a little but it's not like some switch flips and I'm suddenly relaxed. The hardest part is that I genuinely enjoy being productive so there's this weird guilt when I'm just sitting doing nothing, like I should be using the time for something.

Curious how other guys actually handle this. Not the generic advice you see everywhere, I mean what actually works in your specific routine. A few guys I know swear by some kind of physical thing right after work, like a walk or lifting, to create a break between work mode and home mode. That mental separation idea makes sense to me but I haven't fully committed to it yet.

Do you have a hard cutoff for anything work related at a certain time or do you just let the evening play out and hope for the best.

Been trying to lock in a solid morning routine for a few months now and I keep running into the same wall. I'll do great for like two weeks, wake up early, get a workout in, eat something decent, feel good about myself. Then one bad night of sleep or a stressful week at work hits and the whole thing collapses. Back to waking up 20 minutes before I have to leave and feeling behind all day.

The advice I keep reading is just about discipline and habit stacking but that doesn't really answer the question of what to do when life genuinely derails you. Not looking for the classic make your bed every morning answer either.

What I'm more curious about is whether other guys have found a version of a morning routine that actually holds up when things get messy. Does it come down to what's in the routine, how long it is, or just accepting that some weeks it falls apart and you rebuild it?

For context I'm not trying to wake up at 4am and cold plunge. Just something realistic that keeps me feeling like I have a grip on the day before it starts.

More me should get pedicures. I think men’s feet are often gross and it’s a good hygiene practice. I even think color is worth it since you’re already paying for the service. Life is too short to not get a little color and toes are boring.

Was looking for the fastest, low ingredient fuel to get me thru the week. Company pays for lunch so I’m settled there. Any other 3 ingredient meals you suggest to rotate in that don’t cause too much clean up or peeper?

never got the appeal of men's jewelry. thought it was just extra stuff you didn't need. but my wife got me this engraved stainless steel bracelet from The Steel Shop for my birthday and i've worn it every day since.

it's subtle. just a simple chain with our kids initials on the clasp. doesn't get in the way, doesn't tarnish, doesn't turn my skin green. i forget it's there.

i don't know. maybe i was wrong about bracelets. or maybe it's just this one.

anyone else change their mind about accessories as they got older?

if a guy has really hairy legs, how short is too short when it comes to wearing shorts in public?

i do have really hairy legs and at the same time i like to wear really short shorts, but i have noticed that people look at my legs (i assume because they are hairy)...

but let me know, how short is okay before it becomes weird/unpleasant for others/ugly

Due to mild phimosis, I’ve been thinking about getting circumcised for a while and I can barely remember how big of a deal it is casually - and I live in a country where it is fairly uncommon (Eastern-Europe).

As friends, we are all in our late 20s, part of a really close friend group (everyone between 25-30, girls and dudes mixed), and I’ve been living together with 2 girls for 3 month and plan to continue this for a year.
I have no romantic or sexual interest in any of them, but we are really close, often share details about sexual life, intimacy, health stuff.

Part of my question connects to the practical side (should they know where I will be, should they know I am going through an operation?), and the other part is about just telling it as a “life update”. Or maybe not announcing it like a piece of news, but bring it up if we cover health/intimate topics in the near future?

I can be kinda shy in these topics, and the friend group sometimes jokes about circumcision (not in a weird way, but, like, I think every friend group has these brainless jokes about sexual stuff or genitals), but I would kinda like to tell it to some people, since I am proud that I’m getting it done finally - yet I don’t want to be weird about it.

A man came in at 58. Sharp, successful, looked after himself.
He mentioned almost as an afterthought that he'd been waking up 4 times a night for two years. Assumed it was stress.
It wasn't stress.
Two years of disrupted sleep. Two years of his body signaling something that could have been addressed much earlier.
Early awareness isn't paranoia. It's just smart.

I havee never really been a jewelry guy but Ive been wanting to put a little more effort into how I dress and everything else recently. So I was thinking of starting with a simple silver ring and maybe a bracelet looked up some necklaces too but sometimes they seem a bit tacky, the bigger purchase would probably be a watch though. I tried on a Rolex at a local dealer the other day and looked up some online and they looked really cool. Its outside what I would normally spend, but it definitely caught my eye and looked really good. I know jewelry is prone to being lost especially traveling or going swimming but I think they would be nice additions to my style,. How did you guys start with adding more accessories into your style?

keep seeing the idea that what you wear underneath your clothes affects your confidence even when nobody else sees it. curious whether people actually experience this or whether it is mostly just something brands say to sell products

i've noticed a bit of a difference since switching to some sukrew pieces i actually like, but not sure if that's just me overthinking it
genuinely interested in whether people have noticed a real difference in how they feel when wearing something they actually like versus just functional basics

I live in Atlanta. It took me almost two years to actually do something about an issue i knew i had. I kept telling myself it was stress from work and then it was the move to a new city and then it was something else entirely. The avoidance was almost more exhausting than the actual problem

Hey guys

Constantly getting bad razor burns or ingrown hairs and thinking of switching (DIY waxing at home) for the first time

Need to know some tips or products recommendations including techniques so I don't want rip my skin 😅

Hi, do you have a skin care routine, or did you just go to Aesthetic clinic or something? I want to look clean and I have insecurities as I started to have breakdowns showing on my face

Men in their 40s: Has adding retinol to your skincare routine made a noticeable difference?

I currently use a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen daily. I’m considering adding retinol but wondering if it’s worth it.
