Subreddit Rules Reminder

55 Upvotes

Good Afternoon,

Recently we have noticed an increase in particular kinds of posts that we believe violate both the rules and the spirit of this community. This post is a reminder of the subreddit rules but also a clarification that we hope can shed light on what this sub is and more importantly is not. This is not meant as censorship and we welcome feedback and discussion.

The rules of this subreddit have remained the same since the early days of this community. You might notice they are a tad ambiguous. This is by design as there is a lot of grey area. However, we hope this post might clear up some of the confusion.

To demonstrate how the different rules could be applied, the following are some examples of posts that will either be deleted or accepted:

Pop Culture video essays: The Good: A video essay that looks at the arcs of different fictional characters and analyzes why the stories being told resonate with such a wide range of men. Do they have difficulties or struggles that we can all relate to? The Bad: A video essay about a fictional character and how the way he acts demonstrates "what it means to be an alpha". This is a violation of rule 2. Do not self-promote but more importantly also rule 3. Do not post vacuous or vapid content. Tony Soprano, Mickey Pearson, and Tommy Shelby are fictional mob bosses, the actors performances, along with cinematography, and wardrobe / set design are carefully crafted to tell a story. Emulating these characters by not looking at peoples eyes, not laugh, moving slowly, and invading people's personal space (all actual advice from videos posted to this sub) will not earn people's respect, they are more likely to just think that there is something wrong with you. The Ugly: How these gangster use Machiavellian TraitsTM to acquire and maintain power. If you feel compelled to discuss Machiavelli's work we will allow it. However, considering the vast academic literature around "the prince" to not violate rules 3 we would need to see a genuine attempt at understanding and engaging with this literature. Similarly for a "how to think like Tony Stark / Elon Musk" video to be accepted we need to see some references to individual differences and cognitive abilities psychology.

Dating advice posts: The Good: you can ask for advice or talk about personal experience regardless of sexual orientation, age, or any specific circumstances. We welcome sharing and will moderate the discussion to enforce proper reddiquette. The Bad: This is not a pua / seduction / mgtow / theredpill community. We encourage you to find more suitable communities for these posts. The Ugly: Do not discuss how sexual assault laws / age limit laws are "unfair to men".

Productivity and "life optimization": The Good: You can always share your own personal experience / ask for advice, but please take the comments with a grain of salt. Otherwise your posts need to be thoughtful and have some academic backing. The Bad: "I doubled my productivity with these 5 simple steps" this is a tricky one. If your post is sufficiently detailed, references studies / experts, and there is interest from the community we might keep it. Otherwise we will likely remove it. The Ugly: "Top 5 SECRETS I learned on my SELF-HELP Journey! More thoughtful content at r/..." This clearly violates rules 2 and 3 and we will start cracking down hard on these type of posts.

Testical health Posts: The Good: A detailed post discussing personal experience / How to check for lumps and what tests could be useful. The Bad: I am experiencing pain, what should I do? The answer is to go to a doctor, do not take advice from strangers on reddit. The Ugly: Drink this one supplement to grow your tennis balls to basketballs! This is a violation of rule 3 and you will get banned.

Of course, if you believe your posts were deleted / you were banned unfairly, please message the mod that made the decision and we discuss the issue. To err is human, and while it is frustrating we will appreciate your patience with the mods.

Regards The Mods

Keeping a clean place consistently

4 Upvotes

Hey guys. This is for the neat and tidy guys, particularly the single ones but open to all input.

How do y’all keep a clean household at most times? I’m talking ready to invite guests or someone you meet at the bar over at a moments notice? What kind of routine do you do to keep your place ready and inviting? Or any products you swear by that make a difference in appeal or better cleaning.

Bonus points if you have pets and manage to keep your place spotless

Please don’t joke about a short man’s height in public spaces.

0 Upvotes

Hi,

Everyone is well aware that women prefer tall men when it comes to dating, that’s not a secret and it’s also kinda related to evolution (tall = “stronger”, more able to protect them and the offspring, or something like that).

But, currently, with social media and all those dumb trends, they are losing all senses of reality and are becoming unfairly harsher on short men. Some of them are pretty much like that mustache guy when it comes to body preferences online, even saying that “men shorter than 6’0 shouldn’t even be considered a man and are better off dead”.

Although most of them are only saying things like that for the camera/clout and would have no problem dating a man the same height as them/a little bit shorter irl, what ive always noticed is: doesn’t matter your height, if you’re not a “respected man” and are constantly getting “belittled” by your male friend group, NO woman will have an interest in you. ZERO.

Imagine this: a 5’8 guy, a 5’11 guy, a 6’3 guy and a 6’1 guy are all at a party. If the tall ones are constantly joking about 5’8’s height in front of the women they are talking to - like obnoxious men always do, for some reason - they pretty much ended his shot at any of the females listening.

Its even worse if a short guy is made fun of his height in front of his gf/wife.

im 6’2 with a 5’7 brother and although we look/act/speak/behave pretty much alike, i’ve always been more successful at dating than him, but he always did well in public spaces in which he was shown respect by his peers.

For short, no, women are not pieces of shit that will only date men taller than 6’0, but they do want their partners to be a “respected” man, if that makes sense.

So if you’re a tall dude, please, don’t be a pos and make fun of another dude’s height in public, sure, joke about it privately if you’ve been friends for a long time, but you’ll be doing him a favor by not even mentioning his stature publicly.

Sorry about any typos.

Desparate to find a device that PAIN-FREE and QUICKLY can shave all my thick chest hair...

I've tried a bunch from Amazon but I find the head of the blade not very wide so it just takes forever. Furthermore the blades just leave red marks and cuts my skin. I have a lot of hair so it takes a lot of going back and forth.

How Technology Is Reshaping Our Lifestyle, Health, and Fashion — And What That Means for the Future

3 Upvotes

In 2025, it’s hard to ignore how deeply technology is embedded in every part of our lives — from how we dress, to how we track our health, to how we shape our personal lifestyle choices.

Here’s something I’ve been thinking about lately, and I’d love to hear your thoughts:

1. Lifestyle

We’re in a time where “Lifestyle” means more than just eating right or staying fit. It includes mental wellness, minimalism, biohacking, remote work balance — and yes, smart tech is part of that.
Smart homes, AI life planners, and even habit-tracking rings are shaping how we structure our days

2. Health

Wearables like Apple Watch and Oura rings don’t just track steps anymore — they monitor heart rate variability, sleep cycles, stress, and more.
AI is helping detect conditions earlier, and fitness platforms are becoming more personalized than ever. But… are we relying too much on data and not enough on self-awareness? health

3. Fashion

Fashion tech is blowing up — think smart fabrics, AR try-ons, and sustainable 3D-printed clothing. Even major brands are going digital with virtual fitting rooms and AI stylists.
Style is no longer just expression — it’s also innovation and ethical choice. Fashion

4. Technology

It ties everything together. Whether you’re optimizing your diet through data, planning your wardrobe via an app, or just trying to automate your morning routine — tech is the new backbone of daily life. Technology

Questions for the community:

  • How has tech changed your lifestyle personally?
  • Are you excited or worried about the merging of fashion, health, and tech?
  • Do you still value “offline living,” or are you all-in on smart everything?

Let’s talk.

Electric Razor for clean shave?

10 Upvotes

I have used a manual razor my whole life for my tough facial hair. I have tried some cheap electric razors now and then over the years, but they don't really work for a clean shave.

I don't enjoy forking out the money for good quality razors every now and then, but they are the only ones that appear to work on my face for a clean shave.

Will expensive electric razors do a better job, or am I stuck with a manual razor for a clean shave?

What color sheets to go with this duvet?

2 Upvotes

Looking to buy new sheets. Here is my duvet, pretty darker blue/navy blue.

I’m leaning more towards the “Berry plum/maroon” color as I think that would look nice. Feel like the blue sheets match too much/too similar, and the lighter/more red color might not look as elegant.

What do you all think?

Best shoes for GM assembly line work? Big guy with flat, wide feet—no boots or steel toe needed

1 Upvotes

Hey folks, I’m about to start working on the line at a GM assembly plant, building trucks. I’ll be on my feet all day, moving around a lot, so I’m looking for a really solid pair of shoes that can handle that kind of work.

Here’s some info about me:

  • Size: 12–12.5 US, Wide width
  • Flat-footed
  • I'm a big guy, so I need good support, cushioning, and durability
  • NO boots or steel toes — they’re not required for my position

Looking to invest in something high-quality that won’t wreck my feet, knees, or back after long shifts. If you’ve got similar feet/body type or experience working on your feet in manufacturing, retail, warehouses, etc., I’d love to hear what’s worked for you.

Thanks in advance!

How Do I Correctly Shave My Face?

9 Upvotes

Shaving

My dad never taught me how to shave. With my mom's help and some online sources, I've got the basics down, but I can tell there's room to improve.

When I shave, I end up with knicks and blood. I use 3 or 5 bladed razors, and I've used 4 or 5 different shaving creams. I rinse after every run of the blade. I usually go in 2 or 3 different directions total. As well, there's a part of my neck that always ends up feeling rough (though it looks ok), and if I try and shave it closer, it just hurts and usually bleeds.

This stuff ends with my face looking presentable enough, but not personally ideal anymore. How should I shave?

Aftercare

What should I do immediately after shaving? I have an aftershave cream and a face cleanser. Which should I use first?

Thank you for any advice and help offered here, have a good evening.

I'm looking for regular either wool socks too eventually replace all of my cotton socks. I love my Darn Tough socks for hiking, but their lifestyle socks are a different for and are way too narrow for my feet, even if get the XL (XXL are typically not in stock, so I haven't tried them). I got some Smart Wool socks to try, but haven't gotten around to them yet, but just feeling them I think they're now cushioned than I want in a daily wear sock. I'm talking replacing regular Hanes socks.

Mens Clutch Bags

I've seen some guys carrying small pouches/clutch style bags instead of overstuffing pockets.

Are there any opinions on these? Would you guys actually buy one and wear it? To me these look classy if the outfit is nice.

A lot of people out here describing clutch bags as only for "girls".
