Like a lot of men, I enjoy a game of poker from time to time.  Usually it’s a small home game among friends, but in the past I’ve also played online or in a casino (visit this site to play).

If there’s one thing that all men can agree on, it’s that poker can definitely be a frustrating game.  Sometimes you’re dealt a great hand but you lose when no cards come out on the table.  Other times you make a great hand only to lose when another player has an even better hand.  Any game of poker is sure to be filled with bad beats and lucky draws.

What makes poker so challenging is the limited information we are given.  So much of poker is a guessing game.  Even if we make all the right moves, we can still get burned.  Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have more information?  Unfortunately we cannot.

One hypothetical question that gets thrown around often during a friendly game is this:

Would you rather know what cards are going to come out or would you rather know what cards every other person is holding?  

It certainly is nice to dream.  Shit—I’d be happy to have the power to know either.  But for argument’s sake, let’s see if one is really better than the other in another edition of The Great Debate.  Frank Wheeler joins us after a long layoff. (more…)

Instant messaging has become an everyday part of life.  Whether it’s through AIM or a social networking site, millions of people use it everyday as an easy way to stay in touch.

A while back, I gave you some advice on talking to a girl through instant messenger. Now I will give you some guidelines to follow when talking to other men.  There are some unwritten rules that are required to maintain a sense of masculinity when talking to another man on IM.

Failing to follow these rules can result in a man being perceived as a queer—and nobody wants that.  Here are five rules all men must follow when talking online.

Rule #1: Dispense with the Pleasantries

When it comes to starting a conversation over the internet, men should never bother with pleasantries such as “Hi” or “How are you?”  Just get right into the conversation.  Saying hi is for fags.

Here’s the wrong and right way to start an instant message conversation. Fellow contributors Frank Wheeler and Don Valdez will show you a few examples.

Tits and Ass. Two of men’s favorite things. They belong together like peanut butter and jelly.  Some men are lucky enough to be with a woman who can turn heads in any direction.  However, what if you could only have one? Would you rather be with a girl with a perfect rack and a flat, dumpy, cottage cheese ass, OR would you rather have a girl with a beautiful, round ass and the chest of 12-year old? Frank Wheeler and I debate the issue in the Great Debate. (more…)

Yesterday, I gave you the ten most overrated celebrities.  Today, contributor Frank Wheeler give you the ten most underrated celebrities.  

These girls have flown under the radar and it’s about the time they get the attention they deserve. Frank and John have a different opinion on one girl who manages to appear on both lists.  Click read more to find out who that is and to check out the rest of the babes. (more…)

As promised, here is the first post from new contributor Frank Wheeler.

Watching Chase Utley try to bunt for a base hit against the Rockies in Game 2 of the 2009 NLDS reminded me of the type of player this guy is. He’s a fighter. A man’s man. A man who will do absolutely anything to win. Utley can destroy opposing teams with the homer, the two-bagger, or a bunt – doesn’t matter. He’s of the same mold of the type of guys who used to play in the Golden Age, when men would play through a broken finger and indeed, a hangover (e.g. Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle, respectively).

Coincidentally, it also reminded me of the 2008 All-Star game in New York when Utley was caught on camera saying “Fuck You!” in response to arrogant fans who booed him when he was introduced. (more…)
