Websites we like - Primer Magazine

In every gentleman's life there comes a point where it's time to pack up the old bedroom, or college dorm, or parent's basement, and set off into the world. Perhaps you already have the knowledge you need to land the perfect job and the perfect girl, become VP by age 30, and quickly achieve the American dream - all while looking good. Or maybe not. For the vast majority of guys who fall into the 'maybe not' category, Primer Magazine is for you.

Primer Magazine bills itself as "A guy's post-college guide to growing up. Affordable style, how-to's, and self development for the everyday 20-something man." Consider Primer as picking up where the male role models in your life left off, or got to old to model anymore. Written for young men, by young men (and occasionally women), Primer's posts span a wide range of topics without losing sight of its audience. Style tips, Q&As, visual guides, dating advice, and articles on everything from finance to food to fitness keep the magazine interesting and ensures there is something for every developing man.

Websites we like - The Art of Manliness

If there's any one website we'd recommend for gentleman, The Art of Manliness is it. This site, run by a husband and wife team like us, devotes its posts to a wide-range of topics of interest to men. It's not just shaving, muscles, and bacon, although those are included. Other topics include finding your calling, etiquette and table manners, winterizing your home, kitchen fundamentals, and how to look sharp. Thanks to The Art of Manliness, Matt has a pocket knife and handkerchief on him at all times, and they really do come in handy.

Coming from Brett McKay, The Art of Manliness founder, himself - "Talking about honorable manliness was to me a niche seemingly not covered on the web or elsewhere, and I decided to start The Art of Manliness to talk about all things manly- both the serious and the fun, but with the ultimate eye toward encouraging readers to be better husbands, fathers, brothers, men." Taking the advice offered on the site will truly make you grow as a man.

Each post is nicely written and the wide variety of vintage pictures and graphics add visual interest. They even have frequent contests and give-aways of gentleman-friendly products. To top all of this off, The Art of Manliness has one of the rarest thing found on the Internet, a forum whose members strive to be helpful and civil at all times. What more can you ask for?
