When I was younger, I would always see my dad stroking his beard while reading a book. I didn't understand this. But, since he's my dad - I went ahead and began stroking my pathetic, hairless chin anyway. One day he caught me stroking my chin and asked "Caitlin, why are you doing that?" And I so nonchalantly replied: "Because Dad, it's not fair that you can grow a beard and I can't!" As this evidence proves, from a young age I have coveted beards from afar. Always longing to grow one, always being too feminine to do so. So it should be no surprise that the men... READ MORE Why All Guys Should Grow A Beard - A Girl's Perspective On Facial Hair

So you want to get a tattoo? Now what? How do you pick a design, pick a place, and what do you look for? Who do you talk too? Not sure? Well you’re not alone so let me start from the beginning with a handy guide on what you should know. I have been wanting to get some new ink for a couple of years, but I was determined not to go back to the place I went before. Not because they did bad work, but because they were very overpriced. So I set out talking to friends who had them. I asked them the typical "where did they go" and "what did they get" type of 20 questions. Months later I...

The weather is nice, spring is (finally) here, and the urge for fire-seared meat is high. Will you take advantage of grilling season? Every man should know how to grill - it's an important part of manhood. But what method should you use? It's one of the world's oldest debates. Charcoal versus gas. Both methods have their fans and their detractors. Gas is clean and quick, yet imparts no additional flavor to the food. Charcoal can be a hassle and make a mess, but it will give food that added “just grilled” taste. I don't want to make any enemies in my inaugural Bro Council column by saying which is better, but...

Recently, we began thinking about the athletic ability of our US Presidents here at Bro Council, and so I took it upon myself to create a full Offense and Defense of United States Presidents. The rules were simple; if I had to build an NFL football team, which Commander-in-Chiefs would best represent my fantasy team. Which president would make the best Quarterback? Who is punishing enough for our defense? Do we have a president who was similar to Ray Lewis? Check out the results of my scouting report below: Offense LT – Chester Arthur, 6'2″ 224 lbs. -No blind side jokes here... READ MORE The All-Pro United States Presidents Football Team

Dear BC, I'm dating a girl, we're in love, and we have both stated that we want to be married and that we have never felt a love like this in our lives. We have talked extensively about marriage, our futures, and how strong our love is for each other. Now, we were moving forward with engagement (ring purchasing, talking to parents) and out of the blue, she told me that she has feelings for her ex-boyfriend and she doesn't know what that means. She said it may be nothing, but she misses him and doesn't know if that means she cares for him or just that she misses something comfortable. She said...

We have been on a search for the best wireless Bluetooth headphones for a while now. It's difficult, right? Sometimes they don't fit well and fall out when you're running, often times they sound terrible, and other times they simply have a thick wire attached to giant boxes that more closely resemble a min-fridge than something that should be put in your ear. We stumbled upon the iSport Super Slim headphones from Monster, and we were intrigued. Are they really super slim? Do they have monster sound? Will they work in the gym? Read on to find out. The first thing we noticed when we took the... READ MORE Review: Monster iSport Super Slim Wireless Headphones

This one goes out to all of the Cube Heads out there - that's right, I said Cube Heads. No longer am I going to let us be condescended upon by that awful term Cube "Monkeys". It is such a blatant derivative of an animal that loves routine and lacks thought, we're more than that. No, no, no, from here on out we are to be referred to as "Cube Heads" an obvious relation to our Rock star brother, the Metal Head. Today we tackle the personalities of the people you will encounter in your typical office setting. Notice I said typical office setting. I'm talking about your classic,...

As you may (or may not) have heard, Glamour Magazine published a now infamous article in 1997 titled 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Know By the Time She’s 30. Back then, it became so popular that women shared it (the old fashioned way, you know, before Facebook had a “share” button) and credited the article to all sorts of famous people. Glamour actually had a book written based solely on the article. The same article, and a few derivative spin-offs with titles like “The REAL list of Things Women Should Know” and “The Feminist’s List of 30 Things Women...

Last time here on Man Food, we discussed preparing and cooking with charcoal, and it's high-time we put some food onto those beautiful briquettes. If you lack grilling capacity, this recipe is versatile enough that it can be cooked in a skillet or on a griddle as well. The very first step, and this step is mandatory, is to take a look around and make sure nobody is watching. This recipe is top-secret. I'm sharing it with you, the esteemed members of the Bro Council, and you alone. If done well (and it's easy to do this well) these burgers will be requested of you at every cookout you attend. What You'll Need: 2lbs... READ MORE Man Food: Bourbon Bleu Burgers

This is another article in our finance series, creatively titled "Broker", with an article about saving cash. We have a lot of humor and sports on the site, but we want to help people be better at life. Read on to find out how to plan for the future - it may not sound fun, but once you do it life becomes better. In May 2008, at the age of 22, I decided that I wanted to save $100,000 in cash or liquid assets and another $100,000 in retirement accounts before I reached the age of 30.  At this time, I had roughly $15,000 in cash and $6,000 saved in retirement accounts split between a...
