Man Lab Link-Off: Lesson Time

Today’s set of Man Lab approved links has all sorts of lessons that men need to know. The first lesson that we can take from this post is that Pamela Anderson still looks good at 44 (though she probably has some help from some airbrushing specialists).

The crew over at AskMen have wrapped up their Great Male Survey. It’s an important insight into your fellow man. Remember, advance scouting can help you top your competition at the bar. (AskMen)

Man Lab Link-Off: The Approach

Move over, Danica Patrick. Canada now can lay claim to the new top woman in motorsports (apart from my girl Simona De Silvestro). Here’s ARCA star Maryeve Dufault. She’s currently 13th in the ARCA Series standings.

I can’t say that I’ve ever understood the short-lived obsession people had with assembling “bucket lists.” Then I saw this ultimate bucket list for men and figured that I could definitely stand to do some of these 50 things before I kick it. (Guyism)

You’ve probably seen this list floating around the interwebs but here is COED’s list of the 50 most popular women on the internet based on the number of Google search results. (COED Magazine)

Man Lab Showdown: Adriana Lima vs. Candice Swanepoel

Our third Man Lab Showdown is likely to be the best one we ever do. It’s a battle of the generations as we pit two Victoria’s Secret Angels against each other. In one corner is Adriana Lima who has been an Angel for the last 11 years and still looks amazing after giving birth to a daughter in 2009. Even at the age of 30, she’s still one of the top models in the world and one of Victoria’s Secret’s top girls. In the other corner is Candice Swanepoel who is in only her second year as an Angel. At 22, she’s already found herself near the top of the modelling world.

Man Lab: Why Do You Get Hangovers?

For once, the Man Lab is here to do some practical science stuff for you guys. Today, we take a look at the science of hangovers. At first glance, it seems as simple as drink too much and you get a pounding headache in the morning. But that first sip of alcohol starts you on a slippery slope that drags you toward a rough next morning.

So let’s take a look at why who you wake up to isn’t the only thing you regret after a night out. Continue reading →

Man Lab: The Language of Beer [Infographic]

While we at the Man Lab are known to encourage you to buy a cocktail or two at the bar or club to impress women, we don’t want to say that you can’t drink beer. The problem is that people get into a rut when it comes to drinking beer. It’s very easy to grab a Bud or a Corona or (god help us) a Coors Light and pound that back all night. The thing is that there is so much more to beer that the standard popular North American lagers.

So for today’s Man Lab tips, we have a look at beer from the different types to what makes them special and how to describe your beer other with a phrase other than “ice-cold, easy drinking.” Continue reading →

Man Lab: Ten Cocktails to Order Women

At Christmas, I examined the ten manliest cocktails for you to order at a bar. However, making yourself look manly with your choice of beverage is only half the battle. There is also the time-honoured tradition of buying drinks for women. This is where most men get hung up. It’s very easy to intercept a waitress and say that her drink is on you or to buy her another round of the same drink. It takes a real man to go off the board and buy her a drink of your choice.

So we’ve tasked the Man Lab with figuring out which cocktails are the best to order for women. Continue reading →
