Far from being superficial, a concern with one's external appearance is deeply ingrained within our nature as humans. After all, a potential mate’s attractiveness ranks as one of the top traits of interest to the opposite sex. In addition, research suggests that more attractive individuals might actually earn more in the long term. Fortunately for you, even if you weren’t as lucky in the genetic lottery, there are a number of tactics you can avail yourself of in the service of making the most of what you were given and improving your attractiveness. Here we list our top 10 tips to help you look like the best version of yourself and increase your share of life’s treasures.

1. Eat And Drink Right

Make a concerted effort to eat right and you’ll have won half the battle in looking your personal best. Your body is like a machine, and refueling that machine with high-quality fuel will profoundly affect how efficiently it runs in addition to how much fat you store, the clarity of your skin, and the strength of your hair and nails.

When you are gay, it’s hard to talk to your parents about certain things. No matter how accepting or open-minded they may be, gay relationships, gay culture, and the mechanics of gay sex will stay a mystery to them - unless, of course, one of your parents is gay - or both.
Anyone who has been out of the closet for any amount of time knows that “gay” is more than a label to define your sexuality. It is a core part of your identity, and words like “queer,” “bi,” and “LGBTQ” constitute a significant part of your life - your people, your language, and your interests, both politically and socially. These words define a culture that our straight parents will never fully know. They may watch softened depictions of it on Modern Family, but they have never sung drunk karaoke at your favorite gay watering hole or queened out to Britney. They’ve never danced in a sea of sweaty men till 6 a.m. and they have no idea what Nasty Pig is.

Much of our culture can be hard to explain. Poppers and anal plugs will probably never warrant a conversation with mom, but other conversations - about PrEP and nonmonogamy, for example - can lead to greater understandings. Here’s a list of all those things gay men don’t talk about with their parents, with a small smattering of advice on how to do so!

I’m gay. Meaning, yes, I’ve never had sex with a woman. So what dating advice could I possibly give to straight guys? Well, a lot, surprisingly. As a gay men, I’ve been in my fair share of boys’ locker rooms and attended my fair share of all-girl slumber parties, so I’ll let you in on a secret: All is not as it seems in the straight dating world. The straight guys who claim to be the biggest casanovas in front of their friends are usually the same guys that women mock or complain about behind their backs. And while the gay dating world is fraught with its own problems, the truth is, straight guys could learn a thing or two by observing how things are done? 

In here: 5 Things every straight guy could stand to learn from how Gay guys date.

Forget Clichés

Gay representation in popular culture has expanded exponentially in the last few decades, but there is still a dearth of non-heterosexual characters in TV and movies. A silver lining to this pervasive problem is that queer culture isn’t as bogged down by Hollywood clichés about romance and love, since we are so rarely reflected in those cliches. 

This makes it easier to accept the fact that in the real world, dating is complicated and messy. A big piece of advice for straight guys: Forget everything you’ve seen in the movies. Remember that iconic scene in Say Anythingwhen John Cusack shows up to his love interest’s house unannounced and stands under her window with a giant boom box blaring Peter Gabriel? That’s all fine and good in Hollywood, but replicate that in real life and you’ll probably get a restraining order. 

Life isn’t like the movies. You’re not going to save the day, get the girl, and wrap everything up in a nice little bow in an hour and 45 minutes. You’ll be better prepared to deal with the curveballs and nasty surprises of dating if you abandon those hokey old cliches about love and romance.

The drinks we imbibe can be just as beneficial or harmful to our health as the foods we eat. As time has gone by, it seems there are just so many choices for what one can drink. It's not simple anymore. Back in the day, the choice for a staple like water was very limited: tap water kind of ruled the roost. Now we have all types of waters to choose from: vitamin water, smart water, flavored water, ionized water, bottled water, filtered water, carbonated water... you name it.

Best Drinks for Men’s Health

The market for beverages has exploded, and most of these are nothing but a bottle full of sugar and food colorings. Even the carbonated products are popping up everywhere like nobody's business with innumerable products. The question of “to fizz, or not to fizz?” has taken over.

When you go for a travel what is that which you all require. You all require safety, fun and welcoming atmosphere in the same way; gay men too look for protection, enjoyment and a soothing and welcoming environment when they travel. Slowly and steadily India is shifting its status of a non gay-friendly tourist destination to a gay friendly tourist destination. Tourism companies have now realized the benefits of Gay tourism. Since the LGBT’s relationship is officially accepted in a country like India because of this the gay tourism picture in India has enhanced drastically in modern times and it is something acceptable as gay tourism can contribute towards boosting the economy. LGBT India Tour plan several customized holiday packages to satisfy and meet your needs and to give you immense pleasure and fun during your holidays by way of our best holiday packages.

1. Mumbai
Mumbai one of the metro cities of India is also known as the gay capital of India because of the activism sight of Mumbai. For LGBT individuals and couples Mumbai is the best place to visit in India because Mumbai is a city famous for its diversity, is multi-cultural, is vibrant and is modern with an active and colorful and vibrant nightlife.

Corrections and clarifications: An earlier version of this story misidentified the Alabama official leading efforts against same-sex marriage in the state. It is the state's chief justice.
WASHINGTON — When the Supreme Court declared a constitutional right to same-sex marriage last June, the man who won the leading case warned that opponents would find new ways to push back.
“We will have to continue the fight,” Jim Obergefell said then-and he was right.

For nearly a year, seesaw battles over religious exemptions and transgender rights have replaced what had been the gay rights movement's steady progress in winning protections against discrimination in states and cities. Legislative and legal skirmishes have been triggered by an intransigent Alabama chief justice and a defiant Kentucky county clerk, a Colorado baker and a Washington State florist, and most recently a conservative backlash that has traveled east from Texas to Mississippi to North Carolina.

So you’re at a party, and the conversation turns to politics. It’s all going swimmingly, but then someone says something ignorant. And while you know that they’re in the wrong, and that you could totally engage them and win if you were a bit more prepared, your words escape you. Pretty soon, the conversation has moved on, and the moment is lost.
To make sure that doesn’t happen, we’ve compiled a series of handy reference guides with the most common arguments - and your counter-arguments - for all of the hot-button issues of the day. This’s topic: How to argue for same-sex marriage.

1. Marriage has always been between a men and a woman. Legalizing gay marriage would be changing thousands of years of tradition.

Your response: A lot of things were “always that way” before they were changed. For example:- Lack of any legally recognized human rights.
-Dictatorial rule by kings and emperors.

- Prohibition on land ownership by people without royal blood.

- Curing medical ailments with spells and magic.
- Ritual human sacrifice.

Korea - Following a South Korean court’s rejection to recognize same-sex marriage, the country’s most outspoken gay couple and civic groups lodged a protest, calling for equal rights at a press conference Thursday.
Filmmakers Kim Jho Gwang-soo, 51, and his partner Kim Sung-hwan, 32, the first gay couple to openly tie the knot in Korea in 2013, expressed their disappointment with the court decision that they denounced as abandoning the responsibility to uphold justice. 

The Seoul Western District Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition by the filmmaker couple seeking legal status for their same-sex marriage, saying that a separate legislative step is needed to recognize it as legitimate.

We have all been through our fair share of dating blunders, pitfalls and disasters. If you are single, it is easy to get discouraged after a few too many dating disappointments.
But fret not, because there are men out there who are just like you, and it only takes finding one to make you forget all the other failed attempts at love.
However, even if you find a guy who seems to be a right fit, you still might run into more than a few dilemmas that can cause you to break up if you don’t know what to look out for. Here are a few pitfalls to avoid, and how to avoid them.

One of you is a homebody, the other is a party boy.

It only makes sense that the quiet boy in the corner becomes the object of affection for the life of the party. The law of opposites attract has always been finite, which means it may come with some difficulties when it is implemented.

Studies have revealed that a men's sense of smell isn't as heightened as a woman's, which is why they can't tell when they smell badly or not, Dr. Alan Hirsch, M.D. F.A.C.P. the founder and neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, says. Here, 14 things to make him do so he smells good.

1. Tell him to shower every single day with an antibacterial wash.

Men have more sweat glands that are larger than women's, so they sweat more overall. Also, "someone who is under intense emotional stress, like a stock broker, can sweat just as much as someone who works out," Hirsch says. And since sweat mixes with the bacteria on the skin, increasing your body's natural aroma, it's not only important to shower daily, but to also use an antibacterial cleanser, like Dial, that will help reduce the amount of bacteria on skin, lessening natural body odor.

2. Spray his bare torso with fragrance.

Spraying perfume over your torso and on your pulse points, like your neck and wrists, offers added benefit, because a certain amount of heat is generated in these areas," says Mark Knitowski, vice president of product innovation and fragrance for Victoria's Secret.

Italy - After decades of struggle by gay rights groups, and months of contested political negotiations, the Italian Parliament on Wednesday evening gave final approval to a law recognizing civil unions of same-sex couples.
The vote - 372 to 51, with 99 abstentions - was followed by long applause in the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Parliament. At the Trevi Fountain in Rome, people with rainbow flags gathered to celebrate.
It was a historic occasion for a nation that is still dominated by the Roman Catholic Church, which opposed the measure, and where traditional family norms are still strong. It was also a victory for Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who supported the bill.

Nearly every Western country has legalized same-sex marriage or some form of civil union for gays and lesbians. Italy was perhaps the most prominent exception, and the issue has generated considerable controversy.

There is one brain part, called the anterior commissure, that's bigger in gay men's brains than in those of heterosexual males. Most of my thoughts here are about looking at what that might mean, and how it might appear. So, what's it do?
It connects two structures together. The temporal lobes on each side of the brain, including the amygdala.
So, what does the amygdala do?
Its a very, very emotional structure. And it's fast. If you suddenly notice a bus heading toward you, and you feel a 'burst' of fear, that's your amygdala; the one on the right. If you feel a burst of elation when someone looks at you with attraction in their eyes, that's your amygdala, too; the one on the left.
A gay men's brain has more connections between the opposite emotional and primal cognitive centers than other brains.

The amygdala does an important kind of recognition, too. It recognizes other people, or more importantly, how they're feeling. It responds to facial expressions, tones of voice, and, I'd guess, body language as well.

As gays and lesbians get closer and closer to the mainstream they've often traded in their image as the queer radicals who started the Stonewall Riots for the milquetoast assimilationists who want to get married and have kids and put HRC bumper stickers on their cars. That doesn't mean we're still not queer radicals. It just means we're hiding it from you.
That's right, there are all sorts of secrets that Ted and Ned, the nice gay couple next door to you with the matching BMWs and the prim sweater sets aren't telling you, probably starting with the reason they have those bolts in the ceiling of the "den" (It's for the sling and "den" is gay for "sex room"). Now, it's time to let the straights in on some of our dirty little secrets. Let's see if you still like us after this. Yes, I don't speak for all of the homosexuals, but, come on, queen, try to tell me this isn't true!

We can have sex anywhere at anytime

Guys always say, "It must be great to be gay because you can get laid any time." Yes, it's true. We can get it anywhere, anytime.
Straights might know about Manhunt and Grindr, but they may not know about the underwear parties, undergroup orgies, bath houses, cruisey public rest rooms, steam rooms, cottages, tea rooms, video stores, parks, glory holes, and other assorted nooks and crannies where gay guys will go in their most desperate and horniest moments. Sure, a lot of this activity has moved online and subsequently into our homes, but there are still plenty of public sex to be had. Aren't we lucky!

Cocksucker is not an insult

See the discussion about "power bottom" above, except the difference is, 99.9% of gay men love to suck dick. Therefore, if you call us a cocksucker, it says something more about you than it does about us. We love our cocks, we love to have them sucked, and we love to be the one doing the sucking. If you say "cocksucker" like it's a bad thing, your punishment should be to never have your cock sucked again. But, yeah, go ahead and call us a cocksucker. That's sort of like calling Bill Gates "rich" and expecting him to get mad about it.

We want to fuck all the hot straight Boys

When homophobes always have a gay panic and say gay men "all want to have sex with me," someone will always tell them, "That's stupid. We don't want to have sex with you." That's true-because that guy is ugly. If he was hot, gay guys will want to have sex with him. I mean, that's just nature. Gay guys are attracted to hot guys, no matter of their orientation. And if they're in the locker room or at the beach or even walking down the street, we're totally going to be checking them out. Also, many gay guys think straight guys are even hotter because they're so naturally butch and hard to get. It's like straight guys' obsession with girl-on-girl action, but in reverse. Falling in love with a straight guy is a difficult and painful trap that many gay men fall into as well, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about just the lust. If they're hot, it's there-even for your boyfriend.

Not everyone can be like my man in the bedroom (he’s the King), but you can certainly try. One night I asked him how the hell he does it so well, he told me it was all about strength and mobility – something he picked up at the gay youth ministry (Gym).
There are exercises many gay guys don’t know about that strengthen every muscle needed to be a power top. While many of us think bench pressing, lifting, and running on the treadmill is all we need, it’s actually kid stuff. You have to combine strength building with stamina, energy, and nerve pumping routines. Here are a few from my man’s plan:

1. Bridge Holds

This one is easy – Lie flat on your back and put your arms to the side at a 45 degree angle for balance, then raise your hips off the floor by pressing your heels and palms into the ground. Squeeze your glutes and hold the position for about 30 – 40 seconds. 3 – 4 reps required.
This will undoubtedly help with thrusting and pounding, especially if your man loves to be on top to do a nasty cowboy position. This exercise helps give a stable base for him to balance on, but it also helps you to stay engaged and keep your abs as tight as possible so you can have a fast and harder thrust whilst on your back.

2. Squats

A lot of people think squats are helpful for bottoms because it lifts and tightens your ass. While this is true in a visual sense, what happens to your body is truly miraculous. Squats are known to increase testosterone levels while increasing blood flow to the pelvic region (which will give better orgasms). They also strengthen your lower body, which gives you a more powerful thrust whether you’re on top or bottom. When you decide to lift your man and do him horizontally, it’s the squats that help you from getting trembling knees. It doesn’t matter what kind you do – I like to do a combination of dumbbell squats and heavy barbell squats.

3. V-Pose (For the Hip Flexors)

Sit on the floor and lean back, lifting your legs to a 45 degree angle and forming a V-shape – hold for a minute each rep. This exercise does wonders for your hip flexors! By far, the hip flexors are one of the most underrated things when it comes to sex – never ignore them. It will allow you to move your hips in circular motions and passionate curves much more easier, especially when your man is mounting you on the edge of the bed or a chair. When you’re holding him like a baby and your penises are against each other, his arms around your back, you’ll have way more stamina to keep 

Life can be a hard pill to swallow. On a daily basis, we are consumed with regrets, failures and insecurities that plague our minds and control our actions.
We are overwhelmed by situations we cannot change and things we wish we could take back. We experience heartbreak, loss and fear, along with betrayal, jealousy and bad memories.
However, life doesn't have to be so hard. There's an art to learning to let things go and leaving the worries of the past to yesterday. Because in life, we're all carrying the same load, yet what differentiates us is how we choose to carry it.

Those who go through life with a seemingly unaffected attitude are the people who understand the angles of life and the differences between what can be changed and what cannot. In understanding those differences, they are able to move on and enjoy life as it's presented.

Chris Bryant-I suspect that the vast majority of LGBT people in Britain will vote just like anyone else in the EU Referendum.
They will look at the economic arguments and ask how on earth anyone can expect the UK to prosper if we turn our back on the world’s largest market (which just happens to be on our very own doorstep).
They will think about our security as a nation and wonder how we could hope to tackle international terrorism and crime without daily cooperation with the law enforcement agencies across the EU.

They will ask how we could even dream of tackling climate change or environmental degradation without setting and enforcing European emissions targets through the EU.

Habits can have a powerful impact in your relationship. The definition of a habit is: “a consistent and regular pattern of behavior”. You can either create positive habits or negative habits, and once you start practicing them, they will eventually become an act that is unconscious. When it comes to having a happy relationship, there are certain habits that can have a powerful and positive impact. It’s important for you to be conciseness when creating routines, especially for your relationship. You will need to make an effort every single day to practice them so they become second nature to you. It takes about 21 days to establish a habit, whether it’s positive or negative. In this article, I will share with you 12 powerful habits of happy gay couples. These habits have helped both my relationship, and for the gay couples that I have worked with. Implement each of these habits in your relationship and start reconnecting with your partner!

1. Spend quality of time in the morning to reflect and be with partner before starting the day

It’s easy to get into a training routine in which you wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, fall asleep and start all over again the next day. This routine definitely starts draining your relationship and the connection that you have with your partner. We have such busy schedules that it’s even more important to take time in the mornings and reflect with your partner.

Protein shakes: they’re the simplest way to build muscle quickly and shrink your recovery time. But remember, with great amounts of protein comes great responsibility. If you don’t use them with care you’ll hurt those closest to you, namely your arms and abs. And it’s easier than you might think.
A study conducted by the University of Montreal found that three in four professional athletes fail to improve their performance or recovery with the help of protein supplements because they don’t know how to take them properly. Thankfully, MH has the advice to put you ahead of the pros.

You’re overcomplicating things

Got milk? Plus dried fruit and few scoops of almond butter? You’re doing it wrong. “Load up your Diy shake with too many ingredients and you’re going to whack up the calorie count for no extra benefit,” says nutritionist Scott Baptie.

Zachary Mallory survived anti-gay school bullying and three suicide attempts before being diagnosed as bipolar and with manic depression
After coming out as gay I attempted suicide three times before being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and manic depression but my story shows you can survive.

I used to be scared to even associate with others at school or in the community, because I was petrified that they would see what I was hiding.

I came out as gay at 14, when I was a freshman in high school. It was a hard time for me. I was being bullied enough as it was for being the ‘different’ one in the classrooms. Students would laugh at me, and point at me each time I came into the classroom or even if I was just sharpening a pencil.

Challenges of gay men.
I am bewildered sometimes at the sight of individuals who showed their awkwardness towards an innocent gay men. Yes, that face expression of awkwardness is very obvious and hurtful towards gay men. Gay men can somewhat be perceived as having a girly soft character that has always becomes a problem because it intimidates the straight man. I do not tend to discriminate gay society as a different group of people; I am just trying to portray the difference between gay people with straight individuals in our society. I am woman and 3 out of my 5 best friends in the world are a gay men. As you read on, you will realize that this hub will be focusing more on how gay men are coping with challenges in today’s society.

Why do guys feel awkward around gay men? 

Let me ask you male readers out there. Have you ever been in a social gathering where you were introduced to a gay men? Have you ever met a gay man make a friendly approach towards you but only to be greeted with a disgusted faces by you?

For the most part, gay men are like everyone else on the dating scene. They're looking for affection, attention and love. Like their straight counterparts, gay men also desire connection, companionship and commitment.
Unfortunately, the gay dating pool is viciously competitive. So, instead of fighting over the newest man meat on Grindr, I recommend these practical tips for gay men:

1. Try something new.

Try a sparkling, new approach to gay dating. That is, if you've been doing the same thing and expecting a different result, then change detergents, add some fabric softener and try a new way of putting yourself out there. Going to the same coffee shop, grocery store and gym leads to the same scenery and the same results. Yawn! So instead, change it up.

In the US, the gay rights movement won a major victory when the Supreme Court ruled by a 5-to-4 vote that the Constitution guarantees the right to marriage to same-sex couples. Every country in North America has made gay marriage legal, and, along the way, social media has been filled with colorful celebrations of the momentous occasions.
“No longer may this liberty be denied,” Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority in the US’s Supreme Court. “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.” In most polls, Americans favor gay marriage.

Celebrating the decision outside the Supreme Court, a crowd waved rainbows and chanted “Love has won.” The court stated in its decision that “procreation” was not the purpose of marriage, and thus, the restriction of marriage to heterosexual couples was discrimination against same-sex couples. Something many people might be surprised to hear, Mexico actually closed this gap before the US.

A huge misconception that people have is that dating is easy for a Gay Men. So many women right now are trying to play cupid and get the only two Gay people they know together as a couple. I mean, why not? They have so much in common: They are both Gay.This is far from the case. In fact, Homosexual Dating is much more complicated than Heterosexual Dating. For example: When a man meets a woman in a bar/club and they go out for drinks the next day, there is no question that its a date. When a Gay men meets another and they go out for drinks the next day, that’s not a date, they’re just “hanging out.”
What the fuck is “Hanging Out?!”

This is the kind of semantic nonsense we have to deal with that Straight people do not. Other examples are “Friends with Exes”,“Friends First” and “Antiquated gender role” bullshit that plagues gay culture like cancer (I’ll cover each of these in other posts). Don’t get me wrong, dating women is no walk in the park. However as a man who has dated women in the past, I can tell you that it is in no way full of many variables and complications as when dealing with gay men.

Mexico-President Enrique Pena Nieto proposed Tuesday to legalize same-sex marriage in Mexico, a move that would enshrine on a national level a Supreme Court ruling last year that it was unconstitutional for states to bar such couples from wedding.
If it is approved, Mexico would become the fifth country in Latin America to make same-sex marriage legal. The announcement was hailed by LGBT activists and criticized by church officials in Mexico, which is home to the second-largest Roman Catholic population on the planet.

Speaking at an event on the International Day Against Homophobia, Pena Nieto said he signed initiatives that would seek to amend the constitution and the national civil code.

Tailoring the products you use to the age of your skin is no rocket science and is definitely something more than a simple fad. Since the clothes you wore at 25 don’t fit your lifestyle anymore, it only makes sense that the skincare products you used then are no longer the best choices for your mature skin. While regaining the youthful complexion you once enjoyed might not be entirely possible, with the right skincare routine you can improve the way your skin looks and feels in a major way.

40s: Anti-ageing, eye-creams & Omega 3

This is the age when those fine lines begin to deepen, your testosterone levels start to drop, hyperpigmentation increases and your skin gets thinner and less even in texture and firmness. You might also notice some sagging happening around your jaw line, which is the result of a loss of elasticity and underlying fat. In addition, the lymphatic system (which is responsible for the way your body takes rid of toxins) starts to slow down, resulting in increased puffiness around your eyes and cheeks.

We get it. Gay men love straight women. And Straight women love gay men.
The “fag hag” has long been an established part of gay life. There have been entire sitcoms and romcoms devoted to the subject. We all know the set-up: the fabulous glamorous woman on the arm of a gay man who loves and adores all her best and worst qualities, and offers her insights into the male mind that her female friends can't provide.
It’s not rocket science. Gays love girls as they probably identified with them more growing up, and girls love gays for their honesty and humour. 

I’ve lost count of the number of fag hags I’ve accumulated over the years; they love me for the reasons outlined above, and I love them (and their shoes) equally.

Eric Fanning has became the first openly gay US Secretary of the Army in history.
The U.S. Senate has confirmed Eric Fanning to be the next U.S. Secretary of the Army, making him the first openly LGBT leader of a U.S. military service.
Fanning was approved on a voice vote after Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) lifted a hold on his nomination. Roberts had initially placed the hold nearly eight months ago, purportedly to protest the Obama administration’s policy of closing the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and resettlement of its detainees into high-security facilities in the mainland United States. Roberts had asked the administration for assurances that the detainees would not be transferred to Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.

But on Tuesday, Roberts said he had received those assurances, thus removing his objection to allowing Fanning’s nomination to proceed.

First, We will mentions “You’ll receive lots of d.i.c.k pics.” Fact. You will. In fact, most of the gay dating apps (Scruff, Growlr,Grindr) have “locked” or “private picture” sections that a user can unlock for any bloke to whom he is chatting. Usually, they’re dick picks. But that’s not all. In my experience, 70% are d.i.c.k picks, 20% are pics of a guy holding a camera up so you can see his face and his butt in the background-usually he is lying on his bed-8% are pics of him holding his butt cheeks and pulling them apart while (assumedly) someone else takes a picture of his rosebud (sorry, Orson Welles, but that’s what the gay community calls “that area” of male anatomy), and 2%…well, let’s just say they’re graphic. You will receive lots of d.i.c.k pics, so weed those guys out of potential dates.

1. “Online dating profiles tend to be Boring As Hell because they are usually written to cast as wide a net as possible so as to attract every single fish in the whole wide ocean.” Gay dating profiles, specifically on these apps, are usually funny, at least on first read. Many times, sexual fetishes are brought into them. “Into: Oral, Anal, WS…” You get the idea. Also, they aren’t very creative, so they get boring after the taboo of “Oh, my God! This guy is telling the word that he finds urination sexy!”

Have you ever met a guy who was in his early thirties who looked much older than his age? On the flipside, have you seen a man who you thought was 35 but later found out he was in his late 40’s?
Why such a stark difference? Is it all genetics or is that older guy doing something different? If so, what’s his secret?
According to the research, when you hit the age of 30, your skin starts to experience changes. For guys, this means your dermis starts to dry out and become dull.
And so during this time, you may notice fine lines forming around your nose and mouth and your collagen barrier begin to weaken.
Given how important it is to slow down these changes to reduce the signs of aging, we decided to do some research of our own.

Specifically, we combed through expert interviews with dermatologists from around the web and examined the skin care routine of several male celebrities.

Gay Canada - Coming out can be a complicated event for both LGBT people and family members, as it can involve issues about far more than just sexual orientation or gender identity.
For the family of a famous local newscaster, a coming-out announcement triggered fractures along hidden fault lines in their relationships that took a decade to repair.
News anchor Kevin Newman and his son, Alex, an art director at J. Walter Thompson Co., transformed the lessons they learned into their memoir All Out: A Father and Son Confront the Hard Truths That Made Them Better Men. 

The Newmans, who moved to Vancouver in 2001 when Kevin helped start Global BC, spoke about their experiences and their book at Qmunity's 12th annual International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia breakfast today (May 13) at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.

The foundation for a lasting relationship requires an ongoing dedication to improvement. If you aren’t progressing together, it’s only a matter of time before you grow apart. Same-sex relationships shouldn’t be more complicated than opposite-sex relationships, but they’re examined more closely, which changes the rules of the game.
Love is universal, and it is the same for all sexual identities. Yet, gay men apply so much pressure to their relationships in hopes of a long-term commitment. There’s always room to improve the relationship between you and your partner, and here are a few tips:

Never forget how you met. 

I know many couples that met on hookup apps. It never ceases to amaze me when one of them is shocked to discover their man cheats using the same app.

Building the perfect or ideal men body is a lofty goal, and if you want to accomplish that goal in your lifetime, you need to follow a plan specifically designed to help you do that.
While lifting heavy and eating well is a great start, if you want to build a truly impressive physique, an ideal male body with symmetrical proportions, you have to structure every aspect of your programming towards doing that, and doing it in the shortest time possible.
I’m talking about a truly ideal male body: the kind with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and strong legs. The kind of body that fits into our biologically encoded criteria, and fits the Golden Ratio.
It’s not simple, but–as you’ll see below–it can be done. And we’re going to give you 5 steps to do it.

The problem is that we have a tremendous variety of tools in the toolbox, and it is sometimes easy to forget that not all methods are effective for all goals.

- Bodybuilders and fitness competitors gear things for fat loss, requiring adjustment of nutritional strategies.

- Athletes training for their sport practice some highly specific drills, displaying them in combines.
- Powerlifters work on becoming skilled and efficient in their primary lifts.

Of course, these are just a few examples, but the point is: no matter what your goal, you have to train specifically for that goal.
In none of these scenarios would you really benefit from using strategies intended for one goal to meet any of the others.

And so, if your goal is simply to build a lean, symmetrical, attractive, and sexy body, you have to gear your diet and training structure towards those goals.

Now, Five things you need to know to build an ideal Men body:

To Build a Perfect Men Body, Push Less and Pull More

In keeping with the ideas from above, the goal of training for sexiness should also include balance and symmetry. This is not only so you train the right way, but also because you need to make a concentrated effort to avoid training the wrong way.

As men, we’re highly visual creatures. As trainees, this translates into becoming highly focused on ‘mirror muscles’ – that is, those you can readily see in any mirror.

Guys in general tend to do a lot more work on muscles like chest than back. I cannot begin to describe the drawbacks of this mentality. Instead, I’ll focus on the main ideas of this post.

With specific regard to appearance, lopsided training which focuses on anterior (front) muscles over posterior (rear) muscles leads to pretty ugly imbalances. In addition to this being a great way to get yourself injured, it can lead to a round, forward shouldered look that is not the goal of any training program I’ve ever heard of.

Keeping in mind the idea of building a sexy body, it’s worth noting that such a look is also decidedly unattractive.

Instead, we should focus more on the muscles of the upper back: latissimus dorsi, teres major, trapezius, et al. These muscles, developed correctly, will help pull your shoulders back, helping to create the broad-shouldered look that men find powerful and women find attractive.

To prevent imbalances and help to create such a look, try to maintain a3:2 ratio of pulling exercises to pushing exercises.

As an example, 3 sets of rows, 2 sets of bench presses.

Following this pattern, you are far less likely to develop unattractive imbalances; in addition, you will be less like to incur injury. And probably be more likely to get naked. And, by the way, if you want to address this all at once, I wrote a full program on specialization for your back.

As a gay men I have a particular interest in challenging myths and stereotypes relating to gay men in America (and around the world). Myths and stereotypes that go unchallenged become stronger weapons for those who seek to oppress others in society. As the U.S.A. continues to evolve, and as gay men become increasingly more open about our true identities, we must take advantage of all opportunities to educate others about what is correct, and what isn't, in relation to male homosexuality.

Here are 10 of the most problematic myths and stereotypes which play a role in the mischaracterization and dehumanization of gay men in the U.S.

1. Gay men are promiscuous and obsessed with sex.

Myths abound about the apparent promiscuity of gay men as though sex with multiple partners and an inability to be monogamous are core features of male homosexuality – they aren't. Sexual promiscuity, when it occurs, is a human phenomenon that is not uniquely linked with one particular type of sexual orientation. As with any group of people, the sexual behavior of gay men varies tremendously from person to person, with some being very sexually active and others being almost completely celibate. In common with all human beings, gay men have sexual desire. The suggestion by opponents of equality that male homosexual desire is inherently more "sexual" or more "hedonistic" than heterosexual desire is ludicrous.

2. Gay men are all feminine.

The idea that male homosexuality is directly linked with femininity is erroneous. While there are of course some gay men who express themselves (via speech, dress and behavior) in ways which are traditionally "feminine," there are many others who do not. Men behaving in an effeminate manner is not inherently problematic or deserving of public shaming. What is problematic is the assumption that all gay men display the same type of gender behavior. Gay men, as a group, display tremendous diversity in their expressions and displays of masculinity and femininity. Part of the reason this myth about the "femininity" of gay men survives is because many of the most masculine gay men are not necessarily open about their sexual orientation and/or it is not "assumed" by others that such men are gay. In this regard, the most visible gay men are often those who superficially meet the stereotype of femininity, not those who challenge it.

You are a gay men who has been single far too long. You are good looking and smart, have a great set of friends, and take care of yourself. A “real catch” you tell your buds. But something deep inside is telling you that the way you have been going about finding a man isn’t working.
As you check yourself in the mirror before getting ready to hit the bars again, you think to yourself,
“There has got to be a better way than the gay bars! I keep going week after week and no luck. Will it happen tonight? Oh crap, is that a pimple?”
Seriously, being a gay men and trying to find someone to date seriously is a real chore. There are tons of hurdles to overcome that can at times make it feel like the deck is stacked against us. One major barrier can be figuring out where to meet someone. While bars can be a fun place to hang out with our friends, they are not always conducive for romantic connections. And let's face it - as time goes on, the inability to meet a quality person can take its toll on our level of confidence.

After speaking with a number of formerly single gay men who are now happily partnered, Gay Muscle and Love is now ready to reveal seven places to find your next Gay boyfriend that are not a gay bar.

Scotland has been rated the best country in Europe for gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) equality and human rights for the second year running.

Scotland continues to be ahead of the rest of the UK and all other European countries in the legal protections offered to LGBTI people, according to an annual review of LGBTI equality and human rights laws and government policies.

The Rainbow Europe Index 2016 measures progress in 49 European countries on LGBTI equality against a 52-point criteria that includes legal protections from discrimination in employment and services, measures to tackle hate crime, rights and recognition for transgender, non-binary and intersex people, and equality in family law including same-sex marriage and parenting rights.

Dietary guidelines differ between man and women with regard to energy needs, total calorie intake, and amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals they need. With so many differences, it only makes sense that nutrient sources and consumption recommendations would also differ.
According to the USDA, men should consume between 2,400 and 3,000 calories per day, depending on age, height, weight, and physical activity level. You can enter your personal info into this daily food plan calculator to find out how many calories you need each day, based on USDA guidelines.
When it comes to vitamins and minerals, some recommended daily allowances differ between men and women as well. This chart from the Institute of Medicine shows recommended allowances as well as upper limits for 24 nutrients.

You can also take it a step further and consider bio-individuality - the concept that we are all individuals, and no one diet works for everyone all the time. In Ayurvedic medicine, this individual constitution or mind-body type is called a dosha. You can determine your type by taking the dosha quiz.
