A Woman’s Perspective – Strong Women Intimidate Boys, and Excite Men (40 Photos)

My wife, Zanne from WhereGalsWander, wrote this article from a woman’s point of view. A while ago, I wrote about A Woman’s Perspective On What It Means To “Man Up”. I talked about the difference between a boy, and a man; how a man knows who he is, what he wants and why. Sometimes I see comments on Suburban Men about how a gun, or a car, or a drink doesn’t make you a man…

Here’s What Guys are Pinning on Pinterest (27 Photos)

It’s probably not a revelation to tell you that Pinterest skews heavily female. 70% in fact, according to a recent study. But what’s more interesting is that men and women use Pinterest for vastly different reasons and in starkly divergent ways. Women are using Pinterest in a far more inspirational and motivational way than are men, who are more likely to use Pinterest as a visual bookmarking tool. More men are using Pinterest in the…

Happy Hour (32 Photos)

The bell rings, the whistle blows, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere…now it’s YOUR time. Time to loosen the tie, grab an icy cold one or adult beverage on the rocks. You worked hard today (or pretended to) so you deserve a break-reward yourself with thoughts of that classic car you are working for, that beautiful woman waiting for you, that special one you can’t wait to meet one day. Go ahead, jump on that bike, pour…

Ditch the Hoodie – Fall Outdoor Edition (29 Photos)

It's safe to assume that most men have a couple pairs of jeans, some T-shirts, a sweatshirt or two, and maybe a few button-down shirts in their wardrobe. If you don't have those, you're either unusually well-dressed or very inventive.The way to go from looking like everyone else to looking sharp and stylish is to take those basic wardrobe pieces and swap a few of them out for pieces that are nicer, but aren't necessarily…

Daily Man Up (28 Photos)

There is a need for “good guys” to man up and show the way for the next generation. Young men need a narrative that they can connect with. They need role models and exemplars that can portray a positive image of masculinity that is still cool. They need to be taught what “being a man” should be about without being “bad dogged.” They need us – the men and women in their lives who care…

Gear Review – 5.11 Tactical Rush Delivery XRAY

This is not a sponsored review. I purchased the reviewed item with my personal funds and received no remuneration. Since reviving Suburban Men last December, I’ve been attending more events, and as a result, I needed to figure out how to best carry all the gear I need (laptop, camera, etc.). I had been using a generic laptop bag and it just wasn’t getting the job done. After extensive research on the web, I decided…

Windy City Smokeout Delivered the Best of BBQ, Beer & Country Music (47 Photos)

Fresh off the heels of the first Windy City Lakeshake and running concurrent with the overcrowded, overrated Taste of Chicago, Suburban Men spent the weekend at the Windy City Smokeout. Hosted by Chicago’s own Bub City, the festival is straight-forward in promoting itself as BBQ, Country Music and Beer. And they delivered on all three.
