These habits don't deduct manly points in our eyes, we promise.
We at YourTango understand that for the average man of a manly disposition, maintaining that macho image can be paramount. Pink polos are one thing, but carry your girlfriend's purse or get something in your eye during The Notebook and it's like your masculinity license is going to be revoked. Well, to ease the minds and prides of males everywhere, here are four trends and habits that may look effeminate at face value, but really do no damage to you in the eyes of the fairer sex. In some cases, your manliness improves. No comment on murses, however. Read More
A new book, The Beckham Experiment, has some interesting things to say about the soccer star.
According to the gossip gangster (Perez Hilton nee Mario Lavandiera), David Beckham (the second handsomest soccer player alive, c'mon Cristiano Ronaldo) and Tom Cruise (one of the highest grossing actors of our time) have had their mutual love documented.
In a book aimed to cash in on Becks Mania (a little late for that, right?), The Beckham Experiment, Grant Wahl says that Beckham was so taken by Tom Cruise that he dropped the homophonous name "Cruz" on his youngest son. In addition to having his breath taken away by Tom Cruise, the book goes on to make … Read More
Kerri Kenney-Silver's love advice, sitcom porn and Chester French.
It's Friday, that means it's time to link to my favorite stuff from the web this week. I promise that we will not once reference that crazy Korean girl who cut a swath through the hearts of Brooklyn's hipster population. Also, no pirate jokes; that ish is scary.
The LSU Reveille asks if college kids should wait to get married. At first, I thought they meant to have sex and I thought, "no, heavens no, unless it's a religion thing." And then read they were asking if you should get married before graduation. Strange things are afoot in Red … Read More
The reality star will have more time for bromance as he is now single.
Got a crush on Brody Jenner? Well, it appears that while the reality star may have found Bromance, there's an opening in the actual romance department. Rumor has it that Brody dumped Playmate Jayde Nicole over the weekend after reportedly tiring of her incessant partying. Evidently the last straw came this weekend when according to sources Jayde got so wasted at Hollywood hotspot My House that Brody had to carry her out of the bar and care for her hangover the next day. Evidently, Brody had enough of the situation and decided to bounce with a source stating, … Read More
The Bro bakes cookies, stops drinking, commissions "artistic" gifts.
Ah, love. That special feeling that makes a man want to stay in and bake cookies with his woman or emblazon her naked likeness on a surfboard and give it to her as a present.
We know that feeling, Brody. And we're happy to know that you do, too.
Thanks to your interview with People, we know it, perhaps, a little too well.
We know that after baking those cookies together, you like to "watch DVDs and have nice quality home time." We know that your girlfriend is "in amazing, amazing shape." And we know that that surfboard you had made … Read More
Axe works, Bromance is weird, avoid dating mistakes & first date movies.
Before I get into it, I know that an all-links post is relatively lazy, but some of my fellow relationships writers really knocked it out of the park the last few days. And there is some news out there that is too important to miss and too trivial to get its own column. First of all, ladies hold onto your underpants because according to Asylum, the Axe Effect is real (it's the male orgasm that’s the myth). The men's body spray evidently makes men more confident / sexy rather than having some pheromone power. Feel free trade in … Read More
The 2009 celebrity romance predictions are in.
OMNDHP*, 2008 is over and 2009 is ready for some hot celebrity action. Unfortunately, leopards don't change their spots so it'll be a lot more of the same from your favorite celebrities this year. A few new ones will be added but they'll likely be teenagers and we won't have to worry about their love lives. Here are things that will happen to our favorite celebrities in 2009, guaranteed:
Jennifer Aniston Gets Pregnant. Most celebrities love babies like runway models love laxatives. And Jennifer Aniston has paid her dues and has watched Brad, Angelina and Brangelina wave their babies … Read More
The best love, sex and relationships vocab from 2008.
Every year lexicographers add a handful of words to the old Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Among ones added in 2008 were fanboy (one who is obsessed with the minutia of comics, video games, cartoons, sci-fi and/ or fantasy) and webinar (an online, interactive learning session, any portmanteau beginning with 'web' sounds high-tech, I think it smacks of mental websturbation). But the world of love and relationships had a few good adds this year to the vernacular. Sure, nothing was as awesome as the 'wardrobe malfunction' that JT and Janet Jackson gave us back in 2004, but there are a few keepers. … Read More
MTV is giving Brody Jenner a chance to ruin the sacred art of male bonding.
MTV is scheduled to come out with a show entitled Bromance this fall essentially ushering in an era in which hereto life-partnerships are now for sale. The show features one Brody Jenner as a dude in need of a new best bro. You may know Brody Jenner as the son of legendary decathlete of 1970's (and Kardashian straight man-fuddy duddy) Bruce Jenner. Or you may know him from his exploits on any number of southern California lifestyle, silver spoon exploitation shows like The Hills or The Princes of Malibu. Evidently (and we’re not making this up), the younger Jenner … Read More
MTV and Brody Jenner conspire to ruin bromance as we know it.
Not sure if you heard but Brody Jenner (son of decathlete and Kardashian step-dad, Bruce Jenner) needs a new best bro and MTV is going to hook him up. They're auditioning dudes in LA by seeing who's willing to do the gnarliest stunts, who's the raddest wingman, and who tells the most Bro-dacious stories. That one guy earns the title of Bro-dy's best bro. It sounds like he's actually looking for a sidekick. We haven't seen anything from any alumni of The Hills or Laguna Beach that would suggest they are capable of anything as quid pro quo … Read More
