How To Disable Email Notifications

I've had several of you ask me how you can disable the email notifications from the community. I understand the desire to. 15 emails in your inbox telling you someone joined "such and such" group can get annoying. The default is for you to get all the emails. But you can easily select which type of notifications you get or if you want to get them at all.

Just click on "settings" in the upper right hand box with your name. See pic (http://screencast.com/t/ugjD0TDdV)

Check out the chat!

I don't think too many people know about the chat feature we have on the community page. At the bottom right corner of the screen, you should see bar that says "Art of Manliness | # Online" Just click on that, and you'll expand the chat box. Then just start chatting.

I'm hopping to plan some "open mic nights" where we discuss a particular topic relating to being a man. Ideas I have include discussions on relationships, parenting, work, etc. Perhaps we can even invite some person to be… Continue

10 Wilderness Survival Lessons From Hatchet

Share The other day I was sorting through some old books and stumbled upon a childhood favorite, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. The last time I read it was nearly 15 years ago, so I decided to read it again for old times sake. For those of you who haven’t read Hatchet, the basic plot is this: [...]

So You Want My Job: EMT

Once again we return to our So You Want My Job series, in which we interview men who are employed in desirable jobs and ask them about the reality of their work and for advice on how men can live their dream. Today we hear from Nate Dionne, an EMT who works for the busiest EMS [...]

Nice Skinsuit, Buddy! Tips on Training for an Ironman

Image from merfam Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Jim Hodgson. A quick delve into the history of Ironman is enough to inspire in anyone either awe or craven nerdy-ness. This is due to the fact that perhaps the manliest endurance contest in the world shares a name with a cartoon character. Please note that [...]

Manly Slang from the 19th Century

Share While writing our first book, The Art of Manliness: Classic Skills and Manners for the Modern Man, we decided to throw a few old-time 19th century slang words into the text just for fun. While scouring old dictionaries for some words that would fit in the book, we came across many others that were beyond [...]

Getting Over Your Glory Days

Share The acrimonious late-night showdown between Jay Leno and Conan was surely about a lot of things. Money, ratings, television. But it was also about a man who couldn’t get over his glory days. Who decided to step down, but then missed his old life and was desperate to return to it. It’s happened before to high-profile [...]

A Journey Begins...

So, I have only recently decided to engage the community here at AoM on a deeper level. Introduced to the blog by a friend, I had read it occasionally and\I was content to sit on the outside. However, I relocated several hundred miles away from my best friends and have found myself lacking in regards to male companionship. Sure, I stay in contact with my friends, and I've met some nice enough fellows here, but I haven't developed the close bonds that I had before. Anyway, all that was to say tha… Continue

The Buzz on Barbers

As a boy, I had my barnet barbered by Mr. Frank Shakespeare. He was among the last of a dying breed of local men’s hairdressers, with a large clientele of men who had never patronised any other cutter. He was desperately old fashioned, and as a child I hated going there. He knew two cuts: short back and sides, slicked back with a side part, and the crew cut. The place reeked of oils and treatments, old men and old leather. He knew all the talk, but then, he knew everyone inside out. No appointme… Continue

It's nine days before the start of Spring, but it's the first day without the need to wear a coat or jacket out of doors. Sure, the snow can still fall and the cold can still daunt, but the Sun warms today and the air is clean. The birds, those that are here anyway, are chatting more than singinContinue
