Hopefully this works. I want to start this as a topic where the guys of cb can kind of give advice on certain things or tips on certain things. I like going to the askmen.com website, and I see no reason why we can't have one of those tips like spaces on here. Examples of this include:
Tung telling people how lemons can make your pits not smell
Brandon giving advice on what cut you may want for a certain suit
JC telling people what he thinks is a good dish to make
Reidar giving good advice on working out and what not
Things of that nature and all are allowed to input their opinions, tips, etc.
I thought of this because you have guys like Tung and Brandon who are really good with fashion and people like JC who is good with the arts and Juna with photog and Steven with being white ha ha and KC with being asian and what not. So start posting and let's see where this takes us. Just one rule....YOU MUST BE 18 or older to give advice in this topic. Juna is the lone exception.

Is photography manly?
Posted by: fameONE Dec 2 2008, 04:56 AM
Does photography epitomize the essence of masculinity? Of course not, but it goes well beyond that. Photography is an art that can allow one to capture a moment in time.

What do you guys think about Aldo shoes?
Posted by: brooklyneast05 Dec 3 2008, 11:02 AM
i feel bad that no one has replied to this, so i will even though i don't have a real answer.
i'm anti-dress shoe. a couple years ago i worked part time in an accounting office and was always going back and forth between there and my classes. it resulted in me having to constantly wear suits and dress shoes all day long and i f*cking hated it. i don't think i could ever be a real buisnessman 
i like my comfortable shoes too much.
i had like 4 pairs of dress shoes but i only have one now. i don't think any of them were aldo's, my girlfriend bought them for me so i guess they could have been. if they were, I HATED THEM!
what you think i'm some martha stewart type of

what you think i'm some martha stewart type of Haha! I hated wearing dress shoes too, but I got used to them over time. I am now more of a casual shoe person, as you can wear them in business and casual settings.
Not Martha Stewart lol but you give good cooking advice.

If your nuts smell....drink water because it will clear up the smell.

oh, the ladies room thread reminded me. this is a good thing to ask here.
what kinda razors do you guys use? because i have been fighting with shaving for a couple of months now. used to it was no big deal but all the sudden my facial hair got like 4 times more coarse and grows way faster. wtf? it keeps giving me razor bumps and shit on my jaw area. at this point i'm using a brand new razor every single time i shave.
Posted by: heartquasm Dec 5 2008, 01:03 AM
If you wax, some hair wont ever grow back.

I use a schick quatro. I'm a hairy dude, so I shave every 12 hours
Actually, I only do, cuz I hate having a fuzz on my mustache area. But my sideburns grow hella fast.

yeah i usually give up tryin to keep my mustache area & chin clean shaven because it seems like too much work. that part grows fastest for mei think. before though i could go quite a few days and i never got that scruffy on the rest of my face but anymore skipping days is pushing it.
damn why's a

I used to have the barber do it until the ingrown hairs started. I now use Mach 3's. Here is an article that is helpful with shaving tips:

I am also looking into getting a shaving brush and shaving paste.

i'm gonna check those out. last time i asked a barber he was like "it's cause your black" and i thought he was kidding and then i realized after reading stuff that he was being serious haha. supposedly black dudes have worse problems with ingrown hairs since the hair naturally grows curly and will curl back up in the skin?
gag
yeah i was talkin to someone about shaving paste the other day
Posted by: DoubleJ Dec 5 2008, 01:17 AM
Yep I have ingrown hair problems. Thats why I tweeze constantly.

Posted by: Tung Dec 5 2008, 01:23 AM
So men,
How do you guys go about your hairy balls. Shave, trim, or wax? I shave it sometimes, when I'm feeling lazy. I have this awesome electric razor that works really well, and very flexible so you can get all the areas you need shaved. Tmi? Yeah, but most of the time, I'll trim it. Whoever waxes their balls, I bow down to.

For those that work out:
What do you guys think about Animal Paks? When I was in military school, my ds gave them to us, and they really helped me while I was working out.
Also we should make a list of some good sites to get good clothes, shoes, kicks, etc. from.

Posted by: DoubleJ Dec 5 2008, 04:51 PM
I don't think it is at all. I was actually going through the same thing this semester, until I decided to let the girl go. When girls first get into college, a lot of guys are going to impress them. You have a lot of good qualities in your favor, not to mention that you are a military man. The age thing would scare me a bit, because girls at that age tend to also be too clingy. I mean if you want to do it, then by all means go for it.

Their multivitamins are good. Animal Pump is garbage, like all NO2 supplements are.
Posted by: DoubleJ Dec 5 2008, 07:47 PM
So would you say that you are a fan of the animal pak? I know the one that he gave us, had like 10 pills in it, but it did give me a boost while working out.
Hey Tung did you ever pick up that book that I recommended? It's a good read.
Posted by: Reidar Dec 5 2008, 07:59 PM
There's nothing to be a fan of, really. Multivitamins are multivitamins.
They only caught my eye because of their awesome http://www.animalpak.com/journey/index.cfm, so I mostly like them from an artistic viewpoint, not because they make exceptional products.
Nitric oxide supplements (like Animal Pump and NO-Xplode and all that) suck because they act as hemodilators. Most of the so-called studies with finds of unprecedented vasodilation conducted on it don't apply because oral arginine only has 70% bioavailability, and up to 50% of this can be broken down to ornithine, so using powder is impractical for research. Consequently, it's usually infused directly into the blood via peripheral IV for scientific studies, and even then, an impractical dose of 30 grams of the amino acid is common.
Posted by: DoubleJ Dec 5 2008, 08:10 PM
In English please. What is the big deal about multivitamins by the by?

Posted by: hi-C Dec 13 2008, 06:58 PM
^ I'd buy a suit. You can always get it tailored once you've gotten to an ideal weight.
Posted by: DoubleJ Dec 13 2008, 07:42 PM
Truth, but idk any tailors in my area. I wonder what I would have to look for in a good tailor.
Posted by: hi-C Dec 13 2008, 07:58 PM
Your closest dry cleaners should have tailoring services. Or wherever you buy the suit, they should have tailoring, too.

Posted by: Medi Mar 12 2009, 12:10 PM
silver is subtle, and blends with any colors esp. black and white, gold is just better if you want something that's eye-popping. I don't wear a lot of gold. If I do, it may just be a neck-chain.

For those of you that wear suits...should I get my suit side vented if it doesn't have any vents at all?
Posted by: brooklyneast05 May 21 2009, 04:52 PM
^yes imo, vented is way more comfortable, especially if you're wearing the jacket on an everyday basis and sitting down/moving around a lot. did you think about center vented vs side vented
Posted by: DoubleJ May 21 2009, 10:04 PM
I thought about center vs. side and I tend to like side a lot more than center. To me center seems to be a bit more of a classic suit, and I want to save that for some of my more pricey suit purchases in the upcoming months.
Here is a new question:

Posted by: DoubleJ Oct 11 2009, 02:38 PM
Long story short I have lost a friend for apparently saying some things to his current "girlfriend". There were just some things that she confided in me about and somewhere along the way she told him and now we aren't speaking. I spoke to my best friend about it and their response was to just let things go. It is kind of hard to let 9 years go down the drain, and we have stopped speaking for periods before, but I am unsure this time if it will be temporary or not. We are in the same circle of friends, but it seems like they are gravitating more towards him.

Posted by: DoubleJ Oct 11 2009, 08:29 PM
