As the editor of the biggest men’s magazine in the world, I am privy to something many women rarely hear – straightforward, uninhibited guy talk.

Don’t be so shocked – guys do actually talk, and not just about Tom Brady’s quarterback rating. Most women think their man is the strong, silent type (or maybe the oblivious, silent type), and they wonder why he doesn’t share his feelings.

But here’s the truth: Men do want to open up, about their hopes, their fears, and their passions. Yet put him alone in a room with you, and he often turns into a Sphinx. Read the rest of this entry »

The first thing you should know, if you don’t already, is that women LOVE to be touched. Touch is very important to all humans, but it is, generally, much more important to women, and they respond very strongly to touch.

A new study suggests middle-aged men shouldn’t eat more than six eggs a week.
While there’s much talk about eggs being good for you, new research now suggests too much of a good thing may actually be bad for your health — especially if you’re a middle-aged diabetic man.

The study, conducted by a team of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA, found that middle-aged men who ate seven or more eggs a week increased their risk of earlier death, while for diabetic men eating any eggs at all raised their risk.

Have a look in the mirror (if you dare) and what do you see? A few wrinkles, a few laughter lines that weren’t there yesterday?

Yes, we’re all getting older but that doesn’t mean you have to look old, too, and there’s an easy way to keep your skin looking young and feeling soft.

You wouldn’t go into a meeting without your lies and evasions in order, right? Toe the line at a marathon with just your left shoe on? Hell no, you say. But tell us: Why do you step out the door on the most important days of your life with any old swill in your stomach?

Guilty as charged, right? The thing is, a nutritional edge is such an easy advantage to claim.
