Man Lab Link-Off: Cooking

It’s time for another edition of all the links of for the modern man. Let’s kick off with Bar Refaeli. I’m assuming Leo DiCaprio is either blind or in the closet to dump Bar. It’s just impossible to think he had a logical reason.

Don’t ask me how this UBC study works but it essentially says that women love bad boys. Proud or shamed looking men are more attractive to women than happy men. Maybe that Twilight dude was onto something. (Health Zone)

After the jump, how to meet women, strange hangover cures and advice from movie dads. Continue reading

Man Lab Link-Off: We’re Not Faking It

After a week off, it’s time for the return of the Man Lab’s linkdump to help the modern man. To make up for our absence, here’s Kate Upton.

The latest fad in scientific studies is on the health benefits of sex. Good news: Sex is good for you. Bad news: None of these studies are looking for test subjects in my neck of the woods. (Wall Street Journal)

After the jump, the pros and cons of groping at sports events, money advice for first dates and Kate Upton. Continue reading

Man Lab: Adele 101

Not to make it seem like the Man Lab is a glorified music review service but our theory is that it never hurts to know about the music that women seem to love. Our last Man Lab music primer was about Arcade Fire. This time, we take a look at British singer Adele. I heard about Adele only a couple of weeks ago from listening to women talk about how much they like her music. Knowing how much common interests help you make an impression with a woman, here’s what you need to know about Adele. Continue reading

Man Lab Link-Off: Man Law

It’s time for the second Man Lab linkdump. God help us if this thing actually catches on. Anyway, let’s start with Heather Morris who is the other blonde from Glee.

Let’s kick off this linkdump with some general life advice. Here are 34 rules everyone should live by. (Midwest Sports Fans)

After the jump, a woman to English dictionary, how to smoke cigars and the best pickup line in Canada. Continue reading

Man Lab Link-Off: The Debut

In order to further our ever expanding agenda to help men, we’re introducing a linkdump to our Man Lab series. In the MLLO, we’re going to link to stories that will give men advice they need. And let’s start our first Man Lab linkdump with Lily Aldridge who definitely wouldn’t cause any cold feet dressed like that.

Part of the job of the Man Lab is to help you figure out women. So that’s why we dug up this handy Woman to English dictionary. (Match)

After the jump, what pets mean, expert relationship advice and how men erase CDs. Continue reading

Man Lab: Arcade Fire 101

I’m a huge fan of the Canadian band Arcade Fire. I’ve been one since roughly 2007 but a lot of folks are only now discovering them thanks to that Grammy win (and subsequent Twitter love from Kanye). Since then, everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. That includes women. I’ve had this discussion once or twice before. Music is a good icebreaker with women and a good music recommendation that’s a bit off mainstream will make you easy to remember. And a strong music opinion will spark a memory of you the next time they hear a song by that band.

So for our first post in a hopefully ongoing series of advice columns for the single man, I help you talk about the Arcade Fire so you sound like you know what you’re talking about and without sounding like you’ve never heard any of their albums from start to finish. Continue reading

Late Night Link-Off: All Good Things

Welcome to the last set of late night links. I’m retiring them after tonight. So to close out this short-lived linkdump series, here’s Candice Swanepoel.

Sadly, Candice isn’t on Twitter. However, there are plenty of other good looking women for you to follow. (Pop Crunch)

After the jump, the meaning of your fantasy woman, important advice for guys and what makes the British newspaper industry great. Continue reading
