The Mask of Masculinity: How Tough are We on the Inside?

drive-516376_640

Being a man in the modern world is a different experience in comparison to our predecessors, meaning that the traditional stereotypical view of masculinity is often at odds with the relationship role that many men now adopt.

A modern man is far more likely to use organic products like shilajit, share household chores and display nurturing tendencies, which is absolutely fine of course. However, there’s still a core number of males who may feel that they have to maintain their mask of masculinity, despite struggling with emotional turmoil on the inside.

Drink of the Week: The Douglas Fairbanks

The Douglas Fairbanks.For those of you who don’t know your early Hollywood history, Douglas Fairbanks was probably the first real superstar action hero and, like Buster Keaton in his own day and Jackie Chan many years later, a superb stunt performer. He played the dashing, ultra-athletic lead in some of the earliest film versions of “The Thief of Baghdad,” “The Mark of Zorro” and “The Three Musketeers,” among many other productions. He was also — and I believe this is a DOTW first for a celebrity-named cocktail — a teetotaler.

Maybe, then, there’s a certain irony in that the flavor of the drink is, despite the presence of a very sweet liqueur, quite dry and tart. Meanwhile, the drink named after Fairbanks’ fellow silent-era superstar and reputed one-true-love, Mary Pickford, is quite sweet. Conversely, she is said to have had an extremely serious drinking problem.

So, yes, we’re talking extremes. You’d better like dry and tart because, even an ounce of a sweet liqueur and egg white can’t make the Douglas Fairbanks into anything but a drink for people who like ’em on the austere side. You’ve been warned.

The Douglas Fairbanks

2 ounces gin
1 ounce apricot brandy
1/2 ounce fresh lemon or lime juice
1/2 egg white (1 1/2 tablespoons of packaged egg white)

Combine the liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker. If you are using fresh egg white (i.e., out of an actual egg), first shake it without ice to emulsify the egg, being mindful of the mildly explosive properties of un-iced egg white. Next, add plenty of ice and shake again very vigorously. Strain the result into large chilled cocktail glass. Prepare for tartness!

3 Things to Figure Out By 30

As a man, it pays to take the occasional look in the mirror. This isn’t just to make sure you haven’t forgotten to shave that patch on your neck, or to figure out how your nose hair situation is doing. It’s important to think about how you’re developing in various areas. It’s always good to think about your development, comparing your current self against your past self. But it’s also good to think about where you stand compared to other people your age. Not all of us develop at the same rate, but there are certain things you should definitely have worked out by now. We’ll divide these into three criteria: fitness, finance and creativity.

Women want men, not boys

woman-hugging-man

If you know how to behave around women, you’ll have a huge advantage over all the other guys out there, regardless of age. Women don’t want obnoxious boys. Sure, they may be intrigued by a young guy with a six pack, but the situations where they will act on that are limited, and you can screw things up quickly with your behavior.

Women are attracted to men who project confidence and can engage them on levels beyond silly pick-up lines or party boy behavior at bars.

Why Driving to Work is Bad for Your Health

car-522411_640

We all have to work. At least, most of us do. Working sucks at the best of times – unless you are lucky enough to have your dream job – but commuting to the office sucks a whole lot more. Dealing with heavy traffic, road rage and unreliable cars is enough to drive even the calmest of individuals to distraction.

Millions of people elect to work from home or use public transport to get them to work. Transport companies use fixed-route tools to let riders know when vehicles are due or late, but catching the bus or train isn’t always a painless experience and driving to work is generally viewed as the easiest option if a car is available. Unfortunately, while commuting to work via car has its good points, there are many reasons why it is actually bad for your health, and here are some of them.
