So my uh friend, Will, has made a New Year’s resolution like any self-respecting gentleman would. He’s proclaimed that, in sharp dissonance with his past, there will be no Asian love in 2008. He doesn’t have any good reasons to do this, he just wanted to see if he could do it. To prove it [...]

Getting Defensive
I got paid the highest compliment the other day: “you never get defensive”. I’d never heard that one before, but it got me to thinking how damning it is to get defensive in an argument or anytime you are challenged. It might be the single most beta thing you can do (ok, that’s an overstatement).
Let’s [...]

Calling An Audible
In football, the quaterback calls an audible when the defense presents an unexpected challenge and he needs to readjust his team’s strategy based on the new information he has. In HeroTalk (and urban dictionary, of course), ‘Calling An Audible’ is defined as coming up with a new plan (in mere seconds) when the original plan [...]

Term of the Day: Slut Spiral
Urban dictionary defines a Slut Spiral as the act of continually lowering your standards so that each new sexual partner is worse than the last.
I define a Love Spiral to be the act of continually lowering your standards until the number of sexual partners available reaches a satisfactory number.
Aligning a Slut Spiral with a Love [...]

Who’s More Sexist?
I don’t really know the answer to this one: are there more (straight) women who hate men or more (straight) men who hate women? The obvious choice is to go with more women hating men, but there are just so many guys who really hate women for “what they’ve done to them.” The biggest difference [...]

The Comfort Zone
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
- Albert Einstein
The greatest mistake you can make is not making any. Stop being such a pussy.
- DC Hero
I swear it’s like every day I hear about somebody who is afraid to go out on a limb and make a mistake. It’s this ‘What-if’ game [...]

Growing My Hair Out: A Scientific Study, Part II
↑ Grab this Headline Animator
For some reason, the post on growing my hair out receives roughly half of all traffic this website gets. I take this to mean that there are shockingly few resources available for the gentleman who wants to make the transition from his current military look into a longer style. If you [...]

The Phenomenon of Valentine’s Day
You might think Valentine’s day is a holiday invented by, or at least popularized by, the collective greeting card industry. That’s because it was, in the mid 1800’s. But that’s one of those historical facts that doesn’t matter so much. What matters is it’s tomorrow, and it coincides with the dramatic but inevitable conclusion of [...]

Softball, Steriods, and Drunken Orgies
I read this story this morning. Full coverage and analysis to come if I feel like it later on.
Edit: You know what, this doesn’t even deserve the space on this blog. This story is overblown, as I can tell now from the obnoxious number of buzzwords (mafia, orgy, steroids, etc.) the prison official uses in [...]

Chicks With Short Hair
Holy shit, nothing makes a girl more instantly unattractive than having short hair. Out of the 15-20 girls who I saw before and after getting a short haircut, approximately 0% of them looked better with short hair. Actually, exactly 0% of them looked better with short hair. It sucks, and it should be outlawed from [...]
