"Be yourself and be natural is the best advice. Most guy's suits don't fit particularly well. which makes it even harder to try and pull one off as a sports coat. "

Hi guysGoing out for drinks straight after work tomorrow, and possibly meeting up with a lady friend who I am keen to impress. I'll have no time to get changed as we'll be heading to the bar straight…Continue

Hey guysI was wondering if you could offer any tips on how to improve my deadlift (i.e. get stronger to lift more weight) - I considered asking on bodybuilding.com but figured I'd get less abuse…Continue

Lawrence Edward Tonner replied to Lawrence Edward Tonner's discussion Dinner Date"Hmmm you all make good points! Well I'm used to wearing a suit occasionally for work and I do enjoy stepping up and looking sharp, but what I'd be likely to wear for dinner would be jeans (blue, dark and light) and a black…"
"It is obvious that wearing such a thing isn't part of your current fashion choice, so why would you step out and do something that you don't normally do? Always, always, always remember that dating is just as much about you as it is her.…"
D Whaler replied to Lawrence Edward Tonner's discussion Dinner Date"What color suit? I personally would go with a button down shirt but if that isn't your style lots of people do the tee shirt under a jacket thing. I suppose I'm just not very trendy when it comes to that sort of stuff.
Jeans should…"
Daniel Gaston replied to Lawrence Edward Tonner's discussion Dinner Date"Most suit jackets (there are exceptions) don't do so well when unpaired. But it depends on the cut/style of the suit jacket. No hard and fast rule so if the suit jacket fits well then try pairing it with some dark jeans and a shirt. Have…"
Lawrence Edward Tonner replied to Lawrence Edward Tonner's discussion Dinner Date"Thanks for the advice, I'll save the rose then and yeah offer my arm instead of my hand! One other question re fashion, I don't have a sports jacket or a blazer, but I do have a suit jacket - is that acceptable with jeans and a…"
D Whaler replied to Lawrence Edward Tonner's discussion Dinner Date"I'm going to third the notion to save the rose for later. Its a solid idea but would be difficult to pull off without injecting some awkwardness. Also by saving it you can bust it out as the relationship matures to solidify your…"
Liam replied to Lawrence Edward Tonner's discussion Dinner Date"I agree with Daniel on all of his points. Getting a rose or flower in my opinion would be a touch over the top at this stage. I would also advise offering your arm and not your hand.
Relax and get to know each other. Have fun. Smile and laugh.…"
Daniel Gaston replied to Lawrence Edward Tonner's discussion Dinner Date"I would personally recommend against the rose, but it really depends on the girl. If you have a pretty good idea that will go over well then go for it, but otherwise it does run the risk of being too over the top. And if you can't smoothly pull…"

Hey guysSo it didn't work out with that girl that I was dating before, but now I'm dating another girl...we went for drinks on Sunday and that was fun, now we're going for dinner tomorrow, and I just thought I'd share my plans with you guys to see what you think and get some advice.I'm gonna meet her at 7, and (weather permitting) we're gonna take a walk through the park to the restaurant where I've made reservations for 7:30 - now I'm thinking of giving her a rose when I meet her - is that…See More
Lawrence Edward Tonner replied to Nate Thallas's discussion Hercules vs. the Hydra"Have you tried talking it out with the future in-laws? Perhaps they can be made to see reason, and surely they don't want to see their pressure making their daughter ill.
Hope she gets better soon and you get it all sorted out!"
Lawrence Edward Tonner replied to Chrissie O'Bryan's discussion Can Guys and Girls be just Friends"Tolkien must have wanted to be more than friends with a girl who didn't feel the same way!"
Lawrence Edward Tonner replied to Will's discussion The odds are good, but the goods are still boys..."When I was in college I was nowhere near mature enough to know what the hell I wanted or who, and every guy I knew was the same. I'm nearly 27 now and I still feel like that, so yeah I'd say that a woman looking for her husband in…"
Lawrence Edward Tonner replied to Chrissie O'Bryan's discussion Can Guys and Girls be just Friends"I think teenage guys and girls are a little different and I'd say it gets easier for men and women to be friends as they get older, but I think your question should really be 'can single guys and girls just be friends'?
In my…"
Rémy Vanschoonwinkel replied to Lawrence Edward Tonner's discussion Advice please!"Keep up the good work, lad! You're just unsure about the things. (I currently am too with my date ;) but the trick is to keep a cool head and look at it logical) So she said yes twice; that's a very big sign that's she's…"
Lawrence Edward Tonner replied to Lawrence Edward Tonner's discussion Advice please!"Hmm, well you live and you learn...we might go out again when she's back off her holiday but to be honest I'm not sure I like her enough to keep trying to make myself available.
I'll keep looking!"

Chuck Knight commented on Leif Gunnar Selberg's blog post should I help younger brother become smoker?"He obviously equates smoking with maturity, and sees tobacco as his rite-of-passage. And he's emulating his male role models.
As an addict, you personally know the pleasures AND the pitfalls of smoking. If he is choosing to…"
Silviu Ilyevich Tulbya replied to Silviu Ilyevich Tulbya's discussion My Twenties"Getting to know your classmates is a great idea, and so is finding a professor with a research project. I never thought of that second one!
I appreciate the advice and examples. You've been really helpful!"
Silviu Ilyevich Tulbya replied to Silviu Ilyevich Tulbya's discussion My Twenties"Thanks for the post and the examples, Nick. You were right in pointing out that it's no use comparing one's self to others. And I like your father's saying.

Dallas the Phallus replied to Allen's discussion Identity limbo"All I can say is that any man whose identity and self worth is shaped by cartoon characters and TV sitcoms bloody well gets what he deserves. "
Jack Bauer replied to Matthew L Weiss's discussion Sorry Doesn't Cut It"Probably a good idea ... if your wife has the mind of a 5-year-old. Are these wives really too dumb to figure there are risks associated with coal mining or warfighting? Any soldier that hasn't discussed with his wife the…"
Luxinator replied to Allen's discussion Identity limbo"Well said about the absence of high heels on the necks of men.
Its more about a gentlemanly stepping aside, and in a liberal spirit men in previous generations have allowed the women to place their high heels on their necks. It was a manly…"
