Men's Fashion Trends That Should Die Forever

Have you ever looked around and saw a guy wearing something that is just not acceptable in modern society? Of course you have. And as a service to Bro Council readers (and for the sake of their wives and girlfriends), we present to you the list of the top 8 men's fashion trends that should die forever. 1. Tuxedo T-shirts: Demetri Martin's old joke about them: "Formal, but here to party" is funny exactly once. The joke is old, Talladega Nights is not where you should get your fashion advice from, and we've had enough already. 2. Man Makeup: Unless you're a professional actor or singer, there is no reason to wear this:... Read More

5 Tips on Food for Your Pregnant Wife. The minute she found out she was pregnant, your wife's diet went crazy. There's a list of foods she should and shouldn't eat (and sometimes they make her cry), she's wanting strawberries one minute and puking the next, and she can't seem to eat more than a few mouthfuls at a time. Hope this helps you figure it all out and, more importantly, helps you both get through it relatively unscathed. 1. I've heard of morning sickness, but why is she puking at night? Morning sickness isn't just in the morning! It can last all day. Thankfully, it often goes away at the end of the first... Read More

(Editor's Note: In our continuing series "From A Girl's Perspective" we have Laura teaching you how to pick up a Barista. If you're not into coffee shops, most of this info would translate well to waitresses as well. Good luck!) She’s always happy to see you. She gets you whatever you want. She’s the best part of your morning. And you’re not even dating her. Why not? Take it from me, a real, live barista chick. You’re probably making at least one of these mistakes: Conversing about the bathroom. It’s fine if you have to go to the bathroom, but don’t explain to her why you need the bathroom key three times during the four... Read More

As I write this, I place my fingers in the proper typing position, making sure to not look at the keys, just as I was doing 12 years ago in Mrs. Zisa's typing class. I was 13, in second period, and counting down the hours until lunch and recess. Mrs. Avia burst through the door telling my teacher to turn on the news because something happened in NYC. We were very confused, the bell rang, and we made our way to third period, Mr. Maxwell's singing class. Instead of our normal silliness like vying for the MIDI position at his desk where we could shake up his Diet Coke cans, we all sat in the risers with our young eyes glued to... Read More

(Editor's Note: We want to help our readers understand the mind of a woman. The more you know, the better off everyone is. In our continuing series, our guest blogger Monica Duffell tells us guys how to compliment a woman. Enjoy...and learn.) A FEMALE OPINION ON HOW TO COMPLIMENT A GIRL Choose one of the following at a time, although multiple compliments in one night, are welcome: Identify qualities she values in you. Has she mentioned your logical mind or sophisticated style of dress? This may mean she admires this because she too possesses it. Warning: do not choose exclusively manly qualities. She does...

One of those nebulous good qualities that girls are always raving about is that their boyfriend is a “good listener.” For those of you single guys out there (or those of you dating or married guys who have been told that you’re a bad listener), here are three simple steps to being a good listener: 1) Don’t interrupt her. It sounds obvious but there are so many times that guys cut a girl off in the middle of a rant. It will end. I promise. When there have been a good three seconds of silence, then it is safe to talk. 2) Once the rant is over, find a feeling word that sums it up. Example: “I hate my boss! She asks for... Read More
