Ask A Woman: The Best Pickup Lines?

If there was something that a guy could "Ask A Woman" to make her want to go on a date without fail, what would that something be? Tony Emily's Take: There's no magic question that will work on all ladies. We're all different and have different things that we're interested in. For me, I think it is important that a guy I'm chatting up is interested about me and doesn't make me carry the conversation myself. I think you should ask questions about the woman's job, family, hometown, etc. Find things that you have in common and chat that up. Make her feel like you're interested in her on a deeper level than just her physical appearance and chances... Read More

I recently spent some time in Boston this summer, and while I was there, I helped a friend out with a video she made for her company, MapAround. MapAround is a search engine that helps Boston locals find the events and other activities that matter to them most. For the video shoot, we took to the streets of Boston to interview locals and tourists about their fondest and weirdest memories of the city, and I make a cameo in it, as well. If you’re from Boston or planning to travel there in the future, check out this video. I think you’ll enjoy it.

I'm going to start off this column by saying something that needs to be said: all you can eat buffets are not filled with amazing food. They have old food sitting under warmers, the meat tends to be the fatty leftovers that didn't make a McDonald's McNugget, and that being said, we as guys tend to love them. But why? As the editor for Bro Council I took on the burden of figuring this out. So I decided over the course of two days to eat lunch at a Golden Corral restaurant and a local Chinese buffet. The name of the Chinese place isn't important; try Googling the name of any Chinese restaurant you can think of and you'll find 700 others... Read More

Dear BC, I'm dating a girl, we're in love, and we have both stated that we want to be married and that we have never felt a love like this in our lives. We have talked extensively about marriage, our futures, and how strong our love is for each other. Now, we were moving forward with engagement (ring purchasing, talking to parents) and out of the blue, she told me that she has feelings for her ex-boyfriend and she doesn't know what that means. She said it may be nothing, but she misses him and doesn't know if that means she cares for him or just that she misses something comfortable. She said she wants to talk with him, and I don't like that... Read More

Today's throwback video of the week is brought to you by "Tecmo Super Bowl" on NES. In this video we get to watch Bo Jackson carve up the defense repeatedly. Let's see Adrian Petersen try to do that in Madden 25. It's not going to happen...and I think that's why I miss old school football games. The game is one of the all-time classics. Just do a Google search and you'll find dozens of sites dedicated to the game even though it was released over five years before the internet became popular. The best one I've found was TecmoBowl.org, which is still putting up quality articles about this legendary game. Alright, enjoy the video. I'm going to go download Tecmo Bowl Throwback for Xbox 360.

Beard Team USA was an amazing inspiration for our first full length documentary. In honor of our fan-base of beards, we decided to re-post the video that kick-started our dedication to bearding here at BC. Back in 2011, BC visited Lancaster, PA to check out the Beard Team USA National Championships. Two of our own, Ray and guest judge and former Pittsburgh Steeler Justin Hartwig, went behind the scenes for a look at this awesome event. People came from around the US and the world to be judged in 5 categories: Mustache Partial Beard Full Beard Groomed Full Beard Natural Freestyle In addition to... Read More

So you just got a new DSLR Camera from Nikon, Canon, or Pentax as a gift (or as one of your more expensive impulse buys). Congratulations! Cameras are fun, can capture some great memories, and also give you an excuse to buy some incredibly cool accessories for them. That's where we come in. We have tried a lot of different gear, and we have a lot of gear sitting on shelves that we just don't like. We wanted to tell you about our favorite products, so we decided to launch a new series called "Essentials" that showcases items that everyone should buy with their new tech purchases. The gear listed below combine great... Read More

If you're a regular reader, you'll know that we've done several articles on the rules we should all live by. Today we take a look at the 6 rules in the Workplace Bathroom Code of Ethics. Follow these rules, and your co-workers will respect and love you. All you have to do is follow these 6 simple rules of the Workplace Bathroom: 1. Do not acknowledge people. This includes eye contact, greetings, or business talk. People are in the bathroom for one of two reasons: they either need to relieve themselves or they want to escape to some privacy. The bathroom is not a place for socializing or small talk. 2. Maintain the... Read More
