Honestly, folks, is there a part of the human body that drives people — particularly those of us age 35 and over — more insane than hair? Think about it: Our hair basically holds us hostage for the first halves of our lives with its “Will it,...
My sense of smell is probably the sense I think about the least. Seeing, hearing and touching all feel most essential to my lived experience, and I’m constantly bound to the whims of my tastebuds. But smelling always seems passive. It’s something that’s happening to me, not something I’m actively...
Sure, plenty of dudes are skilled in the delicate art of blow drying their junk after taking a steamy shower. But when it comes to pointing the strange contraption upward, many men find themselves in uncharted waters. They tend to blast their head from all directions, creating...
At its core, anxiety is psychological. But in our day-to-day lives, much of our experience with anxiety is physical. It can be less of an emotion than an overall bodily feeling of tension or unease, marked by symptoms like a racing heart or shaky hands. It’s not...
We all do it. It’s the tried-and-true method for any man with anything less than a perfectly chiseled body and even an ounce of shame. For me, it’s my natural go-to any time I appear without a shirt in public — and also when I appear with...

It’s a tale as old as time: Store spaghetti sauce in Tupperware just once, and you might as well kiss that once-clear plastic container goodbye forever. Doesn’t matter what you do, either — send the orange-tinged monstrosity through the dishwasher, scrub it with steel wool, spray it...
Among the downsides of being someone within a perfectly average height range for humans is that nearly everyone else’s face and mouth is always so close to mine, particularly when we’re pointing our faces and mouths at each other. This is arguably a good thing in “normal”...
