"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...
Started this discussion. Last reply by Will Mar 9. 1 Reply 0 Likes
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…"

Todd Serveto commented on Leif Gunnar Selberg's blog post should I help younger brother become smoker?"Forgive me, but I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not this is a serious post on three counts: First of all, you call yourself a "proud smoker"...what's to be proud of, Leif? Tobacco addiction is a costly,…"
Liam S. replied to J. Hughes's discussion Are we failing at spreading the Word? in the group Christian Men"I would submit that this is your opinion, and not clearly demonstrated. I would agree that they do likely do not represent good taste, but are they representative of moral decline? I don't think that is clear. Is music a moral issue? Language?…"
J. Hughes replied to Nate Thallas's discussion Good bourbon on a budget"Woodford Reserve is a brand of premium small batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by the Brown-Forman Corporation. I drink it straight, on the rocks, splash of water and I am sure a few will fall over but with a little Coke a Cola as…"
Luxinator replied to Matthew L Weiss's discussion Sorry Doesn't Cut It"Thanks Jack,
No Im not single. If that makes any difference to my points.
However can you imagine John Wayne or Clint Eastwood asking permission to go out and kick ass? Women by nature are very guarded and easily scared, and conservative. This…"
Dallas the Phallus replied to Allen's discussion Identity limbo"So its about finding our own voice, identity...
Hogwash! Men, though they do not like to admit it, do not seek their own voice or identity. What the seek is affirmation, which is most easily achieved through obeisance to popular opinion, deference…"
