Side note: Can you please explain why people from Minnesota think it’s the most important place in the world? Everyone I’ve ever met from there talks more about Minnesota than they do about anything else combined.

That + a little Kiehl’s moisturizer between the brows does the trick!

There was a question about washing eyebrows. I shared a perspective on washing eyebrows. So, you’re welcome ...?

God/Buddha/Adonai/Whoever blessed me with preternaturally dry skin where there’s dense hair growth, and that includes under the eyebrows. A few times a week I’ll scrub them with some Head and Shoulders after washing my hair just to get the dry, dead skin away.

Isn’t Rodgers like, secretly really, really Christian? Hasn’t he said he doesn’t like to proselytize but is essentially as devout as Tebow? I don’t know if this was necessarily 100% a dig at Wilson or if this is another person babbling about an omniscient supreme entity being a fan of theirs.

My (30+) roommate acts like the guy in the still for the video. We went to a fancy-ish-but-fancy-enough place for a friend’s birthday a couple years ago and as soon as we sat down, she rearranged the wine list, candles, and other table accoutrements so that she could properly Instagram them (with the flash on). I was…

Cheap wine in half the cups and 10% ABV beer in half the cups is bad, too. And I was like 24 :(.

Re: Hillary and Bill, I’ve 100% suspected that’s what Carlos Danger’s ace has been the whole time. I think it’s totally a thing with him and Huma.

Thanks! I actually lost like 50 between early April and mid-July and then took about 2 months off for my birthday/travel/depression/summer and am back on the grind now. The goal is to go hardcore until Thanksgiving, let myself be free during the holidays (I get really, really seasonally affected so I refuse to refuse…

This all boils down to what I tell myself all the time: It doesn’t matter what your last meal was, it matters what your next meal is.

Oof. No wonder you’re single. Even as a fellow writer/editor I would look at that pretentious-as-fuck “disclaimer” and move right along. If you need to give someone instructions on how to say hello to you, you're too high maintenance.

I don’t know how it works with heteros, but on gay apps whenever I message someone I’ve never talked to before, I always open with “Hey, how’s it going?” Or “Hey, what’s up?” So that it: 1) invites the person to actually respond instead of just saying hi back (which is all that happens anyway) and 2) isn't really…

That’s fine, but this lovely vertical isn’t called Adequate Heterosexual Man. If these editors want to imply that men are “inadequate” in certain ways, they need to be addressing the alleged inadequacy of the entire male population, not just the ones they want flowers from. Otherwise it’s the same thing as reinforcing…

Oh cool, I thought it was gold mouth like, “oh, you have enough to have a grill now, you’re a boss,” etc. Thanks!

Isn’t it gold mouth? Either way, I want a Kidz Bop “For Free” or NOTHING. “Oh, America, you’re a bridge. I pick flowers and made you rich, how I sing to thee.”

I would like to know how I’m being nasty by expressing concern that, just as you are being dismissive of me, your colleagues might be as well. I’m writing to them right now and hopefully they will actually take inventory of what I say and respond like grownups rather than continue to call me names.

I don’t really know where I was trolling, but okay. Apologies if you were upset by my comment about Leslie Horn, but really, what’s going to be different if I submit that message to the email address you provided without that line in it? You’re still not addressing any of the concerns I raised and dismissing all of my…

If all the same rules apply, why was this post (and pretty much every other post on this “Adequate Man” site) written to erase non-heterosexual men? Is it because gay men are stereotypically more “adequate” (whatever that means; apparently 80% of male adequacy hinges on whatever Leslie Horn thinks) or is it because…

What if you’re buying flowers for another man? I know next to nothing about them other than that they look nice, but would eventually like to send a fella a bouquet if he strikes my fancy. Or is it just assumed that since men are so stupid and inadequate that he’ll just end up throwing them out because he won’t know…

It doesn’t take listening to garbage like Dan “as long as you’re white, not trans, not fat, and firmly align yourself as either straight or gay despite what sexual behavior you might actually enjoy” Savage to know that monogamy isn’t for everyone.
