Normally, this is a man’s problem. Some pretty young thing, a starlet of the day, Brooke Shields, the Olsen Twins, or Miley Cyrus in a blanket is splashed everywhere, exposed to the full media gaze— gorgeous, nearly naked, and jail-bait. Now, it’s mine.

According to the NY Daily News, Lindsay Lohan started dating this booty before she left for India (she’s there, like, on some humanitarian mission, but reportedly she’s hating every second of it). It belongs to Adam Senn, a male model that you would probably recognize from the first season of “The City,” if you actually watched that crap. All I know is that this ad makes me believe in the power of briefs. [NY Daily News]

So, Tiger Woods cheated on his wife. For those of you who don’t know, Tiger Woods is a professional golfer worth a billion dollars. He is involved in a sex scandal, much like your average politician, rock star, or preacher. I have no opinion on the topic. Except that Tiger Woods has the fashion sense of a middle-aged suburban father who screams into his clenched fist every time he surveys the smoldering ruins of dreams that dot the empty horizon of his soul. Which might be the standard plight of golfers, as the sport is just an expensive version of lawn darts for plumpers with platinum cards.

Wait. That’s an opinion. I hate golf. I blame golf for giving us Tiger Woods in the first place.

Ever since Tiger Woods was in that car accident last week and rumors swirled that his wife Elin Nordegren had scratched his face during a fight (and may have gone after him with a golf club) there’s been buzz about female-on-male domestic violence. I confessed to having once hit a boyfriend and the comments on the post have been filled with debate. I was curious about how other men would respond if their girlfriends got physical with them, so I went to the guys on my IM and asked them to weigh in.

The other day, Wendy asked you, our readers, to share the worst pick-up lines that you’ve ever heard. And, ladies, you’ve heard some real doozies! Check out our favorites after the jump.

Nylon Guys’ tagline says it’s “not for girls,” but putting Jared “I Have Not Aged A Day Since Playing Jordan Catalano” Leto on the cover says otherwise. 

The Sexiest Man Alive was welcomed by fans at the Tokyo Airport—I wonder if they liked his delightfully Anna Wintour-esque bob?

Recently, the girlfriend of men’s nightmares took a golf club to her boyfriend’s Xbox 360, simply because he wasn’t showing her enough attention. A small (OK, a large) part of us gave a mental fist pump. After all, we know what it’s like to be overshadowed by our man’s favorite toys. The other part of us wanted to tell this guy to get a restraining order. Still, it’s fun to daydream about what we’d demolish, if only we weren’t afraid of incurring psycho status. And so, here are the top 10 items of his we wish we could toss out the window:

Many of us guys have big, easily damaged egos, and even those of us with thick skin can be taken down by a casual word from a girlfriend, mother, boss, etc. Here are a few common ways a guy’s ego might get bruised a bit—remember to use this list only for good, never for evil. Avoid these actions; don’t try them out. Unless, you know, the guy really deserves it.

Last night, after I had dinner with a girlfriend, we weren’t quite ready to go home yet, so we stopped by a bar a few blocks down the street for a beer. The place was pretty crowded and we grabbed the last two seats at the bar. Just as we were sitting down, some guy in a polo shirt and backwards baseball cap came running over and said, “Hey, ladies, I was saving those seats for a couple of friends of mine.” I shot him a nasty look, turned to my friend and said, “Let’s just get out of here.” I was already turned off by the numerous TV screens sportin’ football, and this d-bag pushed me over the edge. “Hey, hey, I was just kidding!” he said, suddenly aware that his “pick-up line” totally bombed. “But in all seriousness, folks, first beer’s on me.” And then, before we could even respond — or order that first beer — he disappeared into the crowd never to be seen again. That was bad, but I’m sure some of you can top it. So, spill it, readers! What are some of the worst pick-up lines you’ve ever gotten?

Scandaltastic politicians aren’t the only ones who run around on their wives. These days, it seems every dude who makes a buck or two has to go gallivanting off into the night while his wife is asleep in bed. Don’t get offended, boys, I’m only stereotyping a little. Sadly, athletes seem to be some of the worst offenders. Maybe it’s all that testosterone or their obsession with scoring? Either way, all this Tiger Woods drama has reminded us that athletes are notorious for running around. But don’t fret, Tiger, you’re in good company ... with Alex Rodriguez and Kobe Bryant, that is. After the jump, which of these players (pun!) we’d shun, shag and marry.

The end is rarely easy. And, God, can it be awkward. Personally, I don’t apply specifics for each gender on how to end a thing (a “thing” being anything that lasts a couple months or seven dates, give or take; ending a “relationship” is a whole other bag of misery). When it comes to the end, whether you’re a man dumping a woman, a woman dumping a man, or a gay dude dumping a gay dude, you want it to be as humane as possible.

But which method of ending a “thing” is most humane? Let’s have a look, from least to most kind. Read more ...

Amelia sent me a link to this gorgeous, gorgeous 2010 calendar yesterday because she knows how much I love Gilles Marini, and holy, hot tomato on toast, it’s gonna be a good year! I couldn’t keep this all to myself — that would simply be cruel — so consider this post a public service announcement or an early Christmas gift from me to you. Go ahead — take a look at some beautiful photos of Marini, shot by his long-time friend, award-winning photographer Fred Goudon, whom he met 15 years ago while the two were fulfilling their military obligations in Paris. In fact, it was Goudon who helped launch Marini’s career. Thank you, Goudon, for giving us such a beautiful body of work. See a few more, after the jump ...
