"Ideally, a man should know many dances. However, ado we necessarily have the opportunity to dance them any longer? When's the last time you heard a cha-cha or a foxtrot at a wedding? I think we're best off learning the waltz and maybe a…"

Toupée or not to pay: whether 'tis nobler...

Hello gentlemen.I'm going to see how I look after my next visit to the barber, but purchasing a custom hairpiece is something that's emerged upon my horizon lately. I've been letting it go naturally,…Continue

Gentlemen,I understand that I'm asking something very broad here, but please bear with me. I just celebrated my 32nd birthday a couple of weeks ago, and for a few reasons, I'm taking much more…Continue
Any thoughts on long-beardedness?

It has become apparent to me lately that the recession of my hairline is very evident, and that rather than trying to hide it, I ought to embrace it as a sign of wisdom and maturity. However, I've…Continue

My name is Matthew Palardy, and I reside in Western Massachusetts, about as far as one can go from Boston and still remain in Massachusetts. I'm 32 and a bachelor, and I work as an English tutor at a…Continue

Matthew Palardy replied to Hyrum Higgins's discussion Are emoticons and internet slang manly?"Manly, no. Not even womanly. Consistent use of Internet slang, along with the attendant disregard for grammar and spelling that almost always goes along with it, is a poor substitute for using language as we have received it, and shows one to be…"
Will replied to Matthew Palardy's discussion Toupée or not to pay: whether 'tis nobler..."I have never heard anybody react to a toupée with anything but sniggering. It's always a figure of fun. I don't know if it's fair or right, but that's how it is. You already posted on the…"
Matthew Palardy replied to Jon Kramer's discussion Prom Tux??"First, rent it. The most use that men get out of black tie is fraternal society meetings and, considering you're just leaving high school, you'll likely not be able to join one for a few years anyway, during which time your size may…"

Hello gentlemen.I'm going to see how I look after my next visit to the barber, but purchasing a custom hairpiece is something that's emerged upon my horizon lately. I've been letting it go naturally, being certain to keep what I have neat, but I'm at the point now that the widow's peak is receding and a shorter haircut might be in order. I react strongly against that, though; having got a buzzcut when I was a boy, I thought it hideous and felt very insecure until it grew out again. Thus, it…See More
Matthew Palardy replied to Blair Brown's discussion Is coloring your hair unmanly?"I think it depends on why you're doing it. When my hair was thinning at top, I used colour (my own natural medium brown) to thicken it. I'm not sure what I think about completely changing your colour, though, unless perhaps you've…"
Matthew Palardy replied to Brett McKay's discussion Dealing with Baldness-How do you feel about the power donut?"No, it says "I'm a classic, rather than a fad-follower." If the hair is dark and the skin is light, it provides a nice trim for the face. So long as both hair and sideburns are kept short and neat, that is."
Matthew Palardy replied to Brett McKay's discussion Dealing with Baldness-How do you feel about the power donut?"I say go with the natural look. Shaving is to my mind a fad that, in the name of concealing one's hair loss, actually trumpets it--particularly among those men who haven't the skull or the personality to pull it off and instead look…"
Native Son replied to Matthew Palardy's discussion Extraordinary Form vs. Ordinary Form in the group Catholic Men"To each his own.
Just remember, it's "mawn-e-boos", not "many bus"! (Alterboys' mispronunciation fo "manibus" being Fr. Ralph's particular problem when teaching us our Latin.)"
Nick Lanier replied to Matthew Palardy's discussion Extraordinary Form vs. Ordinary Form in the group Catholic Men"I go to the TLM. I have gone to the NO mass, however, I seem to be more in tune to my faith while attending the TLM. Yes, it is all in Latin. Yes, the priest always faces the altar. But there are two things that really speak…"
Native Son replied to Matthew Palardy's discussion Extraordinary Form vs. Ordinary Form in the group Catholic Men"For the record, I assisted at a whole lot of "extraordinary form" Masses when I was an altar boy back in the 1960s.
It seems to me that this thread is bringing out a strong whiff of "Sister Better Than You", and with…"
Michael S replied to Matthew Palardy's discussion Extraordinary Form vs. Ordinary Form in the group Catholic Men"In St. Louis, a nice "compromise" can be found at St. Mary of Victories. Sunday Mass is the OF celebrated ad orientem in Latin with chanted propers, and daily Mass is an EF low Mass. It's located near Choteau and 2nd, right next to…"

Rebekah replied to Matthew Palardy's discussion Extraordinary Form vs. Ordinary Form in the group Catholic Men"As one of those nitpickers, I'll reiterate that it's a tough judgment of prudence. For 3 years, I was at a mission, in a Diocese, rife with "liturgical abuses." It's tough when you feel like no one, or no one in charge, even…"

Matt Eo replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Man Mints"I am a Tic-Tac guy. The right size and just enough flavor to pop one every hour or so. I always have a pack on my desk and coworkers are always asking for them."

Sex Symbols
From the Grammarphobia blog.Q: In a recent radio appearance, you said the idea that “he” can refer to any human being – man or woman – was introduced in the 18th century by a female grammarian. I think you’re wrong. The concept of male as universal has been around much longer.A: If by “male as universal,” you mean using male pronouns (“he,” “him,” and “his”) for women as well as men, the idea did indeed begin in the 18th century.Before then – for two centuries, in fact – it was considered…See More
Andrew Bennett posted a discussionThe death of neck ties?
I heard that according to researches that the neck tie is expected to become obsolete in the next few decades. Because more and more men are dressing more casually these days thanks to Facebook and google where the CEO shows up in jeans and a hoodie. So is the neck tie really becoming obsolete or are men just not caring about his personal appearance?Please feel free to give your taken on this.See More
Chuck Knight replied to michael mckeown's discussion something for summer in the group Manly Hats!"What are you looking for, in terms of style?
Where I live, a "white" straw cowboy hat is very common. Affordable, too.

Ivan S commented on Steven C.'s group Exercise"I started working out a few years ago, but since 2011, I am taking it seriously. I've managed to gain 40+ pounds. I'm interesting in exchanging information to help each other out...anyone?"
