The Man Cave: Put Your Feet Up and Be Your Disgusting Self

From the day a young male’s testicles drop, he yearns for something very specific. Although this yearning may be taking place subconsciously at the moment, eventually it will explode from him like last nights Taco Bell. Now, you’re probably wondering what the subject of this yearning happens to be….if you’re single (and didn’t read the article title). If you’re married however, the moment you realized you absolutely needed the subject of this post was the exact moment that white gold wedding band slipped over your sausage finger. The Man Cave, …

Guest Post: When Does a Boy Become A Man?

There are lot of theories floating around about what it actually means for a boy to become a man. I thought that the man institute could use a quick rundown. Maybe we can finally get to the bottom of this great mystery.
1. When you turn 18.
At least this is what the law says. When you turn 18 you are legally an adult and can be tried in court as one. So I guess that completely technically speaking, this is the right moment. This is the moment when a boy becomes …

Ironing – Maybe It’s Manly After All…

Everyone enjoys a freshly pressed shirt. It looks good and it feels good, but is ironing manly? Up to this point I would have told you no. I, much like the rest of you, thought ironing was a skill best left to grandmas and dry cleaners. Well, gentlemen, turns out we were wrong.
Let me introduce you to Extreme Ironing. Yes, you read it correctly. A sport which takes something that was previously thought to be a chore for house-wives and bachelors and turns it into something both manly and hilarious.
“The …

The Hot/Crazy Scale – Just because she’s hot, doesn’t mean she’s worth it

The Hot/Crazy Scale (HCS) is a scale that helps men make the decision whether or not to get involved with someone. Although fairly simple, the HCS is extremely effective and allows a man to make a quick decision without having to spend too much time deciding. Before I go any further, I feel I should mention that the Hot/Crazy Scale was thought up by a damn fine man, Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother. Yeah, I know he’s fictitious, but the character is awesomely manly.
“The theory of evolution alleges …

Part Motorcycle, Part Tank: Hyanide and Baal Concept Bikes

German designers Oliver Keller and Tillman Schlootz designed these kick ass concept vehicles for the Michelin Challenge Design in 2006. What they’ve done is taken a motorbike and tosses a set of tracks on it instead of wheels. Throw in an engine from a quad and you should be good to go.
By running tracks on a bike instead of wheels, the theory is that as long as some part of the track is touching the ground, you’ll be able to move, regardless of what the terrain is like. The tracks …

Head Blade: Shaving Your Head Just Got Easier

As a man with an ugly bald head (Believe me. I’ve shaved it before and will never again), I can honestly say that I haven’t really had to experience shaving my head every day and frankly, I’m glad. It looks like it would be the biggest pain in the ass ever. Not only do you have to shave some parts of your head that you can’t see, but if you miss a spot, it’ll be easily noticable by others. I already hate shaving; I don’t need to add my huge …

Put Down the Fishing Rod and Fish Like a Man

If you learn nothing else from your time spent at the Man Institute, remember this: manliness is inversely related to the amount of equipment used when attempting to achieve a goal. That is, the more equipment you need to get the job done, the less manly the act is.
Take hunting, for instance. Hunting on its own is a fairly manly activity. You grab your favourite rifle and head off into the bush to camp and hike and eventually kill an animal. Manly, yes, but there is still room for improvement. …
