Please be careful with those exercises. Those are heavy weight exercises that use several muscle groups.

Well I've been buttoning wrong
douchecanoe22
I never understood the whole blowing your nose with a handkerchief thing. I'm not gonna use it after I just blew snot into it
Broxzier
I never understood the "sometimes, always, never" thing. It looks like "sometimes, always, always" in the image to me...
Drapetomanius
Everything but the dress up crap I've got down pat already; but then, I've saved lives and made people with my dick, so no too worried.

Thanks dad.

This post was so manly... I need to view a few kitty posts to regain calamity/equilibrium. o.o
frjackhackett
the art and primping and preening, so manly

Being on the receiving end of a dead fish handshake is the worst. "Shake your hand like a man, not a god!" -Pantera
Totallyscrewedinaustin
I get those all the time! Its very annoying
WoopDeFrickenDoo
are you saying God gives dead fish handshakes?
doublenickeldoublenickel
Yes, Phil, Dime, Vinny and I agree.

Can we just call the little tramp moustache a Hitler stache?
CoyotaTorona
I thought we were calling hitler a little tramp
blitherypoop
It refers to Charlie Chaplin. That was his nickname, since he often played a hobo. He mocked Hitler once too. The Great Dictator, in 1940.

As an ex poker dealer, don't shuffle cards like that if you want them to last longer than a day
FightMeMrTusk
Ive got a deck ive been shuffling like that for 15 years, and my mom for maybe another 20 before that... how should we shuffle?
nothingontv
Yep. I've got a few decks that were my grandmother's since around the 70's. We've all shuffled them like that for 40 years.
emberthegoat
This was a fun read. The retro style makes it even better
srslydude
And a lot of it still applies today. Changing a tire, washing the car, what to wear, pretty much all of it.
bendoverandbraceyourself
Iron my own shirt?
Conmars
Like a man! You send that woman to the other room with a bottle of, then you prepare dinner for your family. Like a man.
Koolala
Carry two handkerchiefs. One for nose blowing, another for everything else.
YourIgnorantOverload
As a former card dealer, I need to say that that's a horrible way to shuffle cards
nothingontv
For the rest of us it's fine.
Sher10ck
What would you recommend?
DamnThatMashLooksTasty96
Try making one of these for women, i dare you
IPlayWithFire
Well,this is perfect for women who became or identify as men...i guess.

They did... it's called "Cosmo".

TIL hitler was rocking a little tramp mustache
Jicks
Charlie Chaplin wore it first. It was a very popular style before...well...Hitler
Lara788
Agreed but still... Hitler at the barber "what can we do for you sir" " eh lets go with the Little Tramp"
SirButcher
I am pretty sure it has a name lake TRUMPENSHCANSERHENTRAN or something like that. It is German, after all.
DerogatoryDegenerate
Why did it die out?
Jicks
Hitler. Are you paying attention?
DerogatoryDegenerate
Orite that's the bad one right who thought Jews were a bit much?
Conmars
Just a tad.
dullgenericusername
I wish there were these sorts of things for women, specifically the two option "what to wear" guidelines.
[deleted]

ZimGenzko
They're not. Maybe you'll never have to use black or white tie but if you're at an event where this is requested you better rock that tuxedo
BlitzThunderWolf
There used to be a show called what not to wear...might narrow it down a bit
Reko6062
I think there isn't because guys generally won't care much about what their date is wearing, even if they notice.
axiomatik
Well, for women it would be two hundred options...
dullgenericusername
That's my point. It'd be so much easier if there was a female equivalent of the formal and semi-casual standardised outfits.
CoyotaTorona
For each*
AmphibiousPlatypus
Apart from clothing, these are pretty useful for ladies too. (Unless you work dressing men, in which case all of them are useful.)
Krocsyldiphithic
I don't know many ladies who trim their mustache like this :D
Mastahkeef
Genuinely curious, if you "never" button the bottom button, then why does it exist?
Asdfjlk
fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
Tikisteel
Because then, there would be a new bottom button.
Panzer89
So us gentlemen of leisure can more easily detect the poor and destitute within our ranks.
Conmars
I say.
waylonwillieandtheboys
Hmm yes, quite.
FlashThompson
indeed!
Drewscifer
Aesthetics like pockets on women's clothes. Also what the nazi tank said.
VEpsilon
The term panzer was used by more than just Germany, also pre and post-war, and not all German forces were Nazis
Drewscifer
I would argue that you are splitting hairs but...

VEpsilon
WW2 tanks are my jam, man. Can't help but be pedantic
Drewscifer
WoT player?
srslydude
As a woman, I hate it when there are pockets in my clothes but they're sewn shut. Wonder why we carry huge ass purses? We have no pockets.
Conmars
This is not the page for you! Hi have a glass of wine while I make dinner. Like a man!
LokiKingOfJotunheim
It's the same way on men's coats\blazers. You're supposed to cut the threads that are keeping the pocket shut so you can use them...
SeeMyVests
thankyou! They're only sewn shut to maintain shape while shipping!
Drewscifer
Everything else was supposed to be put in my briefcase which has evolved to a laptop bag
Drewscifer
See I heard that I was not supposed to put anything in my suit jacket pockets except the inner ones and that was for my wallet. 1/2
TygrF
So, uh... how are ass purses different from fanny packs?
960018
The position.
srslydude
Wonder how we get those bootylicious asses? We store stuff in secret pockets back there.
TygrF
Ah, so Brazil makes the Prada-level ass purses?
kanashimi444
What's the god damn point of a bottom button if you're never supposed to button it?
RainbowUnicode
Dumbest rule. I do what I want with my buttons, thank you very much.
kanashimi444
You know what? Fuck them. I'm just buttoning the bottom one now.
gbreezy
Tradition. Literally one of the English kings was too fat and couldn't button it and that's how its been done since.
kanashimi444
God, I hope that's not true. That is so stupid.

If you got rid of the bottom button, the middle button would become the bottom button.

Jicks
because it would look stupid without it. it's the same reason some coats have fake pockets or jeans with fake pockets.
kanashimi444
I disagree. And I think fake pockets are stupid. You're just paying for a seem. That's ridiculous.
Jicks
It limits movement when its buttoned, also the folds of the coat go around your hips.Trust that its this way for a well established reason.
kanashimi444
Then why even put it there? A dangling pointless button is inane and to put it there for "fashion" is just a dumb as extra useless zipper.
SamuraiChemist
Same reason men have nipples.
notenoughmail
Tradition!
liquidbeef
Because it's exciting to just sort of play with it in public?
kanashimi444
That's a vestigial evolutionary appendage. Someone designed a suit with three buttons and was like, "Nah, don't use the bottom one."
Grrrg
Wish I could upvote more than once.
rezophonic
Are you telling me we don't breed suits domesticated from wild suits with vestigial third buttons? Bullocks, I say!
SamuraiChemist
And then every suit that came after it also had the third nipp- I mean button :P
badboybuffet
And on top of all that, make sure your apartment is clean.
kodiakash
I feel like this is a bridge too far.
Saskquatch
Clean the base of the toilet. Let's people know that it's not just a superficial clean.
IllooSIV
Tell that to my roommate please. I'm tired of cleaning up someone else's piss.
BarnabasWizardcock
Also, be sure to inform your parents of your guest.
MissTCShore
... and stocked with roofies and condoms.
JoSu13
Whoa there! Baby steps.
CoyotaTorona
Log cabin you mean?
LooseCannonSpock
Or log-apartments in more established areas.
TwoBallsOnePenis
Rucksack, under a leather hide, next to campfire.
intris
Only if it has a fake fur bear rug to convey a sense of rugged sensitivity.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Fake?
CoyotaTorona
Yep also a bad ass log fire, nice background music, bottle of red and 2 glasses too.
Koshunae
I have a true bear pelt on my wall.
BigisDickis
My log cabin has a real bear rug. I beat it to death with my bear hands.
odderOtter
You mean a bare rug with your bear hands
BigisDickis
Yes. Quite. *puffs corn cob pipe*
TeddyBearLord
Faux fur?
Conmars
Never! A animal you hunted your self only! Or one passed down the family line.
colorfinger
dressing for a first date... in 1950
Jicks
wearing a polo shirt and jeans is exclusive to the 50s?
colorfinger
no I guess not. The picture just looks very 50s. Or very very preppy.
Jicks
Its considered casual wear. It's all about the attitude as well. Also in this sense ''casual'' =/= jeans and a hoodie.
colorfinger
There is also a small chance that I was just trying to make a joke :)
LokiKingOfJotunheim
Who wears a sports jacket on a first date besides people who are obscenely rich...
bendoverandbraceyourself
Any gentleman over the age of 25

Jicks
You can get a decent sports coat for like 50 bucks. It's not the kind you'd wear with a suit either.
LokiKingOfJotunheim
It's still a bit overdressed for a first date if you ask me.
LokiKingOfJotunheim
Unless like someone mentioned you are going someplace really nice. That seems a bit much though for a first date regardless.
EnvySTU
Me, and I'm not rich in the slightest.
LokiKingOfJotunheim
That just seems way too formal for a first date.
EnvySTU
Nah, make that first impression a knockout. A suit would be too formal. Denim, Sports jacket, dress shirt and a nice pair of shoes is great.
Jicks
if you're going to Chipotle and a movie then yeah. If you're trying to wow them at a nicer place then you'd be expected to dress the part
ATimeTravellingRobotFromTheFuture
Do I still offer my handkerchief to a crying lady after I've used it to blow my nose or should I carry a spare hanky?
Zeadrot
Thx :D i thought the same...
rezophonic
Just make sure you don't forget to rob the stagecoach.
silverbean
No, take a lady hostage while you rob a stage coach - offer her your handkerchief.
darkoneko
I had the same question about cleaning the glasses.
kcgingerbeard
Blow your nose, then clean your glasses then give it to the lady
Err0x
Don't be so rude. Blow your nose then give it to the lady. Your glasses can wait until after.
CreedBrattonQuabityAshwitz
Yes! That is exactly what i was thinking.
KillahQueen
And what if there's a crying lady at the stagecoach I'm robbing
lilbrother
Give her the handkerchief without your name embroidered on it.
MajorVice
You blow your nose.
flickerdart
Carry one in your breast pocket, and one up your sleeve.
redloki55
is that specific phrase from somewhere?
flickerdart
No, it's just how men's fashion developed over time. Pocket squares used to be kept up the sleeve with a bit sticking out. Then they moved.
redloki55
and thanks
redloki55
neat
