SWIMSUIT UP: FOR THE GENTS

-


The gyms across America are packed, the parks are full of people running, and the yoga classes seem a bit fuller......ahhhhh, summer is upon us once again. A staple of summer fun is always a trip to the beach. Living in Los Angeles, beach life is a big part of my summer life, and you see all kinds of people in all different fashions. There are things I hate, and there are things I like....so here is a few thoughts for the fellas to consider when getting beach ready.

THE DO'S:


PLAID IT UP:

  


Depending on what you're beach plans are, I love plaid trunks. Because you can go from frolicking in the ocean waves, to throwing on your tank top and popping into a beach side bar for a drink or five. These are your multipurpose shorts for when you're up for whatever on a Sunday Funday.

GIVE EM' SOME COLOR:

As a guy it's hard not to get trapped in the mindset of solid colors and being incredibly plain. Don't be timid dude, stand out, shine. Colors suggest a confidence and a bravado in yourself that I believe women will find attractive.  Just be aware of your skin tone and find the colors that work well you!

DESIGNER:


Women aren't the only ones who are allowed to like designer labels and looks. There's a big enough world of fashion for everyone to get in on their favorite designer. Budget allowing of course. My one tip would be this. Don't overdress your location, this holds true for night wear just as much as swim wear. No need to rock Gucci to the lake behind your parents house. No sir, these shorts should say something like, "Hello Miami".


THE DO NOTS:

Every summer I see plenty of this and I always shake my head. When oh when will we grow up? Here are a few looks I wish would just go away.


THE BAGGY GYM SHORTS


Unless you are Justin Bieber and or 17 and younger....don't. Enough said.

JEAN SHORTS: aka the black man's swimsuit...


I can never understand why you would swim in jean shorts? But nonetheless, I always see some hood dudes running around the beach in their big ass jean shorts. Not to mention how unsafe it is because when them bad boys get wet the weight of that cotton becomes tremendous. Swimsuits probably cheaper then them damn shorts. No excuses.

SAGGY BOTTOMS:

SAGGY BOTTOMS:

Sagging is unnecessary at all times, but I never understood it at the beach. And this pic is not even bad, but you try google searching "guys sagging swim trunks" and you'll see why I gave up so quickly lol. Nonetheless draws under swim trunks never seems necessary for me....let it hang lol. But if you are, at least keep your shorts up.


Hope these tips help you out, don't forget sunscreen...and have a great summer guys.

TRANSITIONS

  It's crazy to watch, to see it all happening right before your eyes... I've managed to watch young boys become men... players become fathers... party goers and bar hoppers become home depot shoppers and PTA participants. I've witnessed the strongest of men become fragile, and weak. The most independent of women become dependent and sedentary. What is the point of this circle of life we all seem to be engaged in... the experience of our very own existence within the circumference of birth and death... what is there to be learned? What is there to understand within it all... I stare up into the cosmos of all that is and will be... all that lives underneath the sun and moon and question the why of it.. the how of it... we live forever and yet we live for a moment... moment to moment... collecting each like lightning bugs in the summers of our youth... These moments that build us and define us... whether it's the young black English teacher that hands you a book that wil...

MANHOOD 101: RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR MEN TAKING SELFIES

"A selfie is a self portrait photograph, typically taken with a digital camera or camera phone held in the hand or supported by a selfie stick. Selfies are often shared on social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. They are usual flattering and made to appear casual. Most selfies are taken with a camera held at arms length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a self timer." -Wikipedia You do it, I do it, we all do it. We take selfies. But for men, there need to be some manly restrictions to such vain activity, and I am here to lay some ground rules, a few man laws in which my brothers should govern themselves. There are really only 3 good reasons to take a selfie...and all of them whether directly and or indirectly should be for the benefit of bagging a lady. REASON #1: TO GAIN ACCESS TO VAGINAL EXTREMITIES: AKA GETTING SOME ASS. All dudes have a bathroom mirror post with their shirt off and if they say they don't then...

DR. SEUSS KEEPS IT REAL

A father and son were riding in the car, To the House of Cheeks, for a drink at the bar The son was scrolling through I.G. with great lust, The father saw the phone, and said what the f*ck is this? He took the phone from his son and stared at the screen, Looked back at his son, his eyes looked so mean. I do not like these thirsty thots, I do not like their thirsty thoughts, I shall not like their thirsty pics, For all they do is tease the dick, I do not like to play their games , You come and go as if your running things, I would not sweat you in a bar, I would not sweat you in your car. I would not sweat you on the beach, I would not sweat you on the streets. Get away from me these thirsty thots, Trying to trap me with your thirsty shots, Your yoga pants and ill fitted tops, Pushing your boobies up to the top, Pictures you take in your draws for me to view With dumbass captions like, "what are you up to"? Clearly I'm looking at this picture of yo...
