The following is a guest post by Jesse Irizarry. “Ease up on the kid,” the trainer yelled. The fighter backed up to take a break from wailing at my head. There he stood glaring at me, a good thirty pounds heavier than me with almost twenty years’ experience in the ring. The head trainer at […]
A Man’s Guide to Packing
I’ve written about it at length, but why not mention it once more; life is an adventure – or at least it should be. Of course, it’s all a matter of perspective. I mean, I have a ripping good time even when I’m sitting on me arse with a cigar in my mouth, glass of […]
Man Up! The “That’s Just Your Opinion” Argument is for Losers
The latest episode of the Man Up! series on the Youtubes covers the belief that your life is out of your control, that your future isn’t in your hands, and that your success or lack-there-of is pre-determined. Typically, when the opposite idea that your future is in your hands is brought up, it’s hit with the common, lazy rebuttal […]
Stuff That Makes You Better: The Video, The Shirt, the Mission
The mission for this site is pretty clear. My goal has always been to not only become better myself, but bring other guys along with me. Good, strong, self-reliant, manly men are becoming more of a rarity in today’s society. We need them, a lot more of them. But we’re creating less of them. This is a problem, […]

The Last Man Standing
Watch any John Wayne movie and you’ll find manly characteristics that are common in each of the many roles he’s played. For one, they never complained. If they were faced with a problem they dealt with it head on. They were strong, assertive, and confident, and they dealt with others in this manner as well, never […]
Cool Stuff for Guys: Juicer, Watch, Toothbrush, Journal, Flask.
If there’s one thing lacking in my diet, it’s in the vegetable department. If there’s an “accessory” I’ve always been fond of it’d be the wrist watch. In this week’s Cool Stuff for Guys I give you the remedy for that first gap in my nutrition, as well as one of the finest, masculine-looking examples […]
Cool Stuff for Guys: an Axe, Go Pro, Gerber Tool, Bartender Set, & a Straight Razor
Any time we talk about things I’ll start with a disclaimer. Things are useless. A man shouldn’t need things to feel worthy or proud. His value is who he is, not what he owns. It’s important to understand that the things you own end up owning you. The more you own, the more you’re tied down to a place or […]
Where Dating Gurus Have It Wrong
I like a good fight. I like the sport of it. It’s competition in its purest form. Just two guys standing, throwing blows. The last one standing is the winner. As long as honor exists between both men, bonds usually form after said tussle has been resolved and the winner’s hand raised. Fights are fun. […]
Where Toughness is Born.
The human condition is one that gravitates towards ease. The technology industry has taken this fundamental human desire and made billions in feeding it. The TV, the cell phone, the car, the airplane, the computer, the search engine, and social media all provide a shortcut to an end. The airplane, obviously, a shortcut to a […]
Every Man is an Outlaw
Every man has a little outlaw in him. A part of his soul that could, if pushed, live life on the other side of the law by his own rules and on his own time. It’s a part of being a man to crave adventure that can only be found on the outskirts of civilized […]
The Christmas Gift Guide for Men
I can’t stand shopping. It’s one of my least favorite activities, right up there with sitting in traffic. As such, I avoid it completely. However, sometimes you have to buy stuff, like at Christmas. Thank God for the internet, with its abundant savings, easy process, and zero line-ups. Before we get into the Christmas Gift Guide for […]
The 21 Laws of Manliness
I’ve had a great run as of late in that I’ve had a string of wonderful books that I’ve read, studying some of the most impressive men I’ve come across. It started with The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, a wonderful read about one of the greatest success stories in the history of man kind. To follow […]
How to Develop A Champion’s Prerogative
‘Twas but a couple of nights ago. The lads and I were nestled at the corner of the bar, each with a pint in hand bellowing boisterously about past escapades when we realize the time. We were behind schedule by a few hours. The beers, which were supposed to be few, became numerous – the […]
How to Become World Class
I was out for a few beers last night with a couple pal’s. Both guys are successful. They’re very good at what they do, and the confidence that comes with being good – even the best – at what they do comes across, not in an arrogant way, but in an assertive attitude. Every man […]
