Charlie replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion The Insanity Workout"Insanity is a really good cardio/toning workout if that's your end goal. Some people have mentioned P90X. I like combining both, along with going to the gym. I've memorized/written down most of the P90X upper body…"
Charlie replied to JonEdanger's discussion What's your personal motto (if you have one)?""Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something." - Thoreau"
Charlie replied to Tyler M.'s discussion Favorite Cologne?"Bvlgari Man- my go to everyday cologne. My ex picked it out and I enjoy it. It's unique and has a woody/musky scent without being overpowering and last for quite a while applying it to pulse points on the wrists and…"
Charlie commented on Chris Weitzel's blog post The Lost Art of Self-Reliance"I like your ideas here. I think for most guys they just do a cost-benefit analysis of time and effort vs. money. Money usually wins as the answer to their problem. Other times it's convenient. I learned how to…"
Charlie replied to Justin Cook's discussion Pick your poison"If I want something sweet or a lady comes over and wants a drink but doesn't like normal beers or whiskey: Orange soda and vanilla rum. Tastes like a dreamsicle. It's also good with mango soda.
A bodega I used to…"

Charlie replied to lycan91's discussion Any advice on being alone"I used to have a fear of being alone, but then I got used to it and now I embrace and it just feels better. I've met a lot of people because of it. I like nature and hiking and exploring, my best friends don't or are…"
Charlie replied to Justin David Weeks's discussion Performance Athletes."Hats off to you, sir. Which aspect of the cardio is giving you trouble? The endurance fatigue or breathing? Have you looked into, or have the schedule flexibility to check out some interval training? Like some of the workouts…"
Charlie replied to Aaron Wilson's discussion Where exactly did you gentlemen learn to dress so well?"Some great advice in here. I'd like to get a decent suit, but I don't really have a purpose for it. My work attire is casual (blue jeans, tshirt or polo, i go with a flannel/plaid for cooler days). And my lifestyle only…"
Charlie replied to David Terry's discussion Summer Reading for Men?""Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. It's a fairly lite read but the story is great, especially if you're into nature.
Blood Meridian is also great, as previously mentioned."
Charlie replied to Justin Cook's discussion Who are the toughest warriors."I'm a fan of the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history. I've read the historical and fictional accounts, played the games, etc...
These two generals I think had the best leadership and fighting prowess of their time:
Guan Yu…"
Charlie replied to Sam Roberts's discussion Cigarettes, The Lost Art in the group The Smoking Lounge"I like the flavor of Lucky Strikes, and I always prefer unfiltered but sadly they seem to burn way too quickly.

Victor E. Franklin replied to Jonny's discussion Was putting my dog to sleep the right thing to do?"Yes you did the right thing for him. The first and only dog I ever loved was 12 when his hips went. He couldn't walk. That's no way for a dog to live. I had him put down the next day. It was one of the hardest…"
Rick Shelton replied to LShieldes's discussion Scandal run down in the group The Great Debate""Transparency", how often have we heard that from this president?
