No matter how big or how small, lay a challenge down and the modern man will accept. It feels good to win. Whether you win the office NCAA basketball pool or the tour de France…a victory is a victory. I almost choked on a mouthfull of saltine crackers, eaten the ATOMIC chicken wing, and successfully ran up a “down” escalator. Why…because someone told me that I couldn’t. There was no rhyme or reason to my decisions, just a little voice in the back of my mind screaming out “you can do it, you can beat this guy.”
These challenges used to be undertaken without refernce to past man’s failures or accurate gauge of your opponent’s strengths. These days, however, there are thousands of websites out there who showcase the been there and done that. Ask Men is a website dedicated to the intricacies of the male species.
“AskMen.com is a free online destination for men, a men’s portal, designed to provide men with daily features on subject matter that interests the general male population.
What is its mission? To offer men candid advice, that is useful, practical and entertaining. AskMen.com address issues regarding dating, women, fashion, money, fitness, and entertainment. Offering advice that is too complicated or unrealistic does not serve any viable purpose, therefore it deals with topics that can be incorporated into men’s daily lives.”
The Modern Man no longer has to go through life like a neanderthal proving his point. We have tools and we have knowledge. We can learn from those whom have tried and failed. Teddy Roosevelt would stay up all night and read up on subject matter he knew was of interest to those he would meet with the following day. He didn’t have Wikipedia or Google, but he did have the where with all to prepare himself for his daily battles. The result…Little Victories.
Whether you have plans next Saturday with your foodie friends, a Harvard MBA, or an Art History major, don’t forget to brush up on the topic matter that you know they are interested in. A little homework on gourmet cousine, luxury watches, or modern art could make all the difference between a night of sounding smarter than you actually are and arm wrestling for the check. The measure of the modern man lies in his ability to win the affection of others.

Do you think modern man has evolved to the point where asking for help is acceptable? I mean, honestly, trial by error seems to be protocol for most.
