Since the beginning of time, being born with a Y chromosome virtually assured certain degrees of privelege along with a fairly set and expected role in life.  Unfortunately for all you Al Bundy, Archie Bunker, or equivalent types - but fortunately for the rest of society - the last few decades has finally seen women socially becoming more and more the equal sex.  The result of this is new generations of men trying to figure out our roles within this ever-changing society without losing our identity in the process; The constant process of Trying To Be A Man.

The Focus of This Site

  • All Things Men: from health and fitness, to relationships, to all the societal pressures men feel.
  • Social Issues: in a society where we generally are given two choices: right or wrong, democrat or republican,  subjects pertaining to men are explored from a not-so-definitive angle.
  • Camaraderie: many men for many different reasons are not good at opening up.  The forum on this site provides a medium to bring together people on issues that are on their minds.
  • Humor: perhaps most importantly, it is necessary to periodically document the comedy that results from the effort of trying to be a man.
