How To Be A Man

We’ve all seen and perhaps grown tired of guides and lists that are rife with tedious clichés and full of humdrum regurgitated meme wisdom.

For that very reason, in collaboration with my friend, John Carney, we wanted to present a fresh, and hopefully thoughtful, look at what it means to be a man today.

• Stop talking about where you went to college.
• Always carry cash. Keep some in your front pocket.
• Rebel from business casual. Burn your khakis and wear a suit or jeans.
• It’s okay to trade the possibility of your 80s and 90s for more guaranteed fun in your 20s and 30s.
• The best public restrooms are in hotels.
• Never stay out after midnight three nights in a row … unless something really good comes up on the third night.
• You will regret your tattoos.
• Never date an ex of your friend.
• Join Twitter; become your own curator of information.
• If riding the bus doesn’t incentivize you to improve your station in life, nothing will.
• Time is too short to do your own laundry.
• When the bartender asks, you should already know what you want to drink.
• If you perspire, wear a damn undershirt.
