I personally don’t mind tan lines. I was raised at the Jersey Shore — and now live in the Caribbean — so the beach has always been a lifestyle, and tan lines just come with the territory. “Believe it or not, some people love tan lines, especially...
The literal takeaway from a fun day at the beach is the seemingly endless pile of sand that falls out of every receptacle, pocket and crevice you own as soon as you walk through your front door. That’s why I — a guy raised at the Jersey...
According to a recent study reported in Newsweek, Americans are traveling abroad more than ever before, and spent about $135 billion on overseas tourism in 2017. With more international travel, though, comes the inevitable — jet lag, or to give it its fancy medical name, desynchronosis. If you’ve had...
In a world where every fact is someone else’s #FakeNews, no topic is safe. For example: Stretching. Numerous stories on the internet say stretching before exercise is bad for you because it can make working out less effective — or even increase your risk of injury. But...
You were nine vodkas deep when brunch plans were being made. In the hours that have since passed, you (somehow) spent $68 on fast food, puked in the kitchen sink and woke up feeling like a pizza pocket that was microwaved for six consecutive hours (which is ironic,...
Here’s a hypothetical that’s probably more real than not for most people: You’ve spent 20 years or more hating your body, seemingly unable to drop those last few pounds that stand between you and happiness, despite seemingly constantly denying yourself the food you really want, and working...
I’ve finally stopped fighting it and accepted the fact that I’m a doddering idiot, forsaken to a life without expensive sunglasses because I will inevitably sit on them or lose them. To wit, I’ve owned countless pairs of semi-expensive sunglasses — all of which are either currently sitting...
When it comes to working out, we’re not all strongmen like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (aka The Mountain). In fact, many of us could go our entire lives and still not know our lat pull-downs from our incline benches from our deadlifts. Which is to say, there’s no shame in...
Sometimes, you look at a guy in the gym and think: Huh, he’s got a bit of a gut — bet he doesn’t work out very hard. Then, said guy proceeds to lift a 1978 Volkswagen bus over his head with one arm while still doing lateral...
Sure, I understand you want to make every moment count on vacation, especially since you spent the last nine months carving “I need a break” into the side of your cubicle. So you booked every possible excursion, including a guided meditation in the janitor’s closet and an interactive...
“If man was meant to fly, he’d have been given wings,” says the old mantra we ignore every time we step through the metal detector and head for the bar in the departure lounge. But there’s some truth to it: Nothing about humans flying is natural, and...
Nothing is more perilous to being “poolside presentable” than cold water’s ability to shrivel up your penis like a startled snail retreating into its shell. Shrinkage has prevented countless men from not just partaking in cold-water skinny dips, but merely getting sack-deep in cold water alone. This summer,...
