Essentials: So You Want To Start Golfing?

Picture this: spring is in full bloom and the conclusion of the Masters tournament just announced the unofficial spring solstice; golf season is upon us. Before we all know it, America’s courses will be littered with aspiring players, shattered hopes at shooting under par, and the occasional smattering of cheers from your playing buddies at the elusive birdie or eagle. I may be biased, but I think that golf is one of the greatest activities for people to be involved in, for both men and women alike. The game offers both personal enjoyment and business / social implications, bringing both together into an enjoyable afternoon in a well-manicured... Read More

Dear Bro Council, I was with this girl who just got out of a 5 year relationship and we were together about a month. I don't know why I have such strong feelings for this girl I don't really so relationships but I want to be in a relationship with her.

What the heck do... Read More

Do women wear revealing clothes as an attempt to fit into a mans world or bcoz u like it? If it's bcoz you like it, what is it that you like exactly? -Ramesh Emily's Take: Well, It certainly isn't because revealing clothes are comfortable! And the shoes that usually go with them are a whole other story about pain. The truth is, women wear clothes that make them feel good about themselves. Clothes and make-up are tools that help to build our confidence because they have the power to influence our impression of ourselves. Wearing glasses can make us feel smarter, wearing a suit and heels to work can make us feel more focused. For some women,... Read More

This week on Throwback Friday we have a video that may haunt your dreams for years. Sorry about that. Colonel Sanders was famously known as the face of KFC, the chicken giant that he started in 1930. We've always thought the white suit and awesome facial hair was pretty endearing, but they found a way to make him look like the second coming of Hannibal Lecter in this commercial from 1967. In the spot, the 77-year-old Colonel is attached to a lie detector and laughing like a madman while he refuses to reveal the secret recipe for KFC to a group of housewives. The housewives failed to get the recipe, and KFC... Read More

The other day, I was hanging out with a college senior and we got on the topic of our families; he then said something I rarely hear college students say, especially young men. He said: "My father is my hero! I still hope to be like him when I grow up!" Many folks I happen to bump into on my journey have confessed a lack of closeness with their fathers, if their fathers were in their lives at all. Many men state they want to be the exact opposite of their fathers and the women I run into say they want to marry someone totally opposite of their fathers as well. One thing I know for sure is that as men, we are linchpins in the... Read More
