When scoring a date depends on some photos and a couple hundred characters, those pictures best be flattering. Attempting to take the perfect online dating profile picture can be a bewildering and discouraging experience, though — one that can result in phones being chucked out windows and...
I like to think my skincare routine is decent — I exfoliate, cleanse and moisturize often. But it still feels inferior whenever my girlfriend whips out her grandiose mechanical spinning facial brush. These brushes promise to make cleansing and exfoliating more effective, especially for people who wear...
Sex has the potential to be astonishingly dirty, and while I mean that figuratively, I also mean that quite literally. Look, fervently bumping bodies involves producing and swapping a hodgepodge of bodily fluids that inevitably linger around your nethers until the next shower. Which, for many, has...
The world is a cruel and unpredictable place, and while some dudes are lacking in the hair department, other people have more than they could ever need or want. Among the latter group are a subset of people who feel both ashamed of and burdened by the...
So you want to change things up, huh? I don’t blame you. I often find myself wearing the same old clothes until my girlfriend inevitably complains about my T-shirts turning into caveman-style torso wraps. I also haven’t had a considerable haircut since some time back in 2015,...

Guys aren’t born with an instinctive knowledge of how to look the way they want to look. We don’t exit the womb with manscaping and moisturizing best practices etched in our brains — it’s something that’s (hopefully) picked up over time, from parents, from peers, even from...
Despite living at a time when science (mostly) trumps tradition, some of us still believe in old home remedies — like, for instance, curing body odor with vinegar or soothing dry skin with olive oil. But do any of these supposed “grooming life hacks” actually hold any...
Hairstylist Cleve McMillan weighs in on your burning questions about the mysterious adventure that is getting a haircut. I recently had my hair cut by a different barber at my go-to barbershop, and I felt like my usual barber was giving me the stink eye the entire...
