City Guides: Boston | Chicago | Las Vegas | Los Angeles | Miami | New York City | San Francisco | more August 17, 2012 VIDEO OF THE WEEK Essential Dating Tips Why? Because there are guys who do this stuff for a living. The modern world is place of extreme specialization, a place where developing the skills necessary for success in one area can leave you near-completely maladapted to all of the others. What we're saying here is: Relax. You're great at your job. You have a pretty nice apartment. It's not your fault that you whipped out those baby pictures on the second date -- you never had time to learn these things. What we're also saying is that "dating coaches" are totally a thing now. Don't fight it. Watch the video and learn from your mistakes. SPONSORED CONTENT Presenting Your Invitation To The Good Life Why? No one regrets luxury.

Remember when you could just go to CVS, pick up some Right Guard Sport and some Brylcreem and be golden? Can it be that it was all so simple then?* Well, yeah -- but you also smelled like Right Guard Sport and Brylcreem. As fussy as the whole artisanal/Portlandia/pickle-brine-pore-therapy-at-Brooklyn-Flea craze can be, the stuff works; it's quality. And if you don't think women prefer scents like "Acai Berry and Borago" to "Exxxtreme Arctice Ice" or whatever, you should probably watch that dating coach video again. *We're pretty sure that this is actually what Wu-Tang were talking about in that song.  CONCERNING ACCESSORIES AskMen Interviews: 2 Chainz Why? Because the cheapest thing he has on is his belt -- and it's $400. This rap artist's got it all -- collaborations with Kanye and Nicki Minaj, a hit mixtape (T.R.U. REALigion) and a debut studio album that's off the charts. But what you may not know about 2 Chainz is that this dude's got style. From Givenchy to Versace to classic YSL, 2 Chainz is bringing class to College Park, with what can only be described as sartorial-swag. Read on and find out just how 2Chainz became a trendsetter. TRAVEL DESTINATIONS OF THE WEEK Best Mancation Destinations Why? Because you've been putting in a lot of man-hours at the manffice. You manserve this. If you're anything like most Americans, you get about two weeks of vacation per year, forcing you to compress all of your non-Powerpoint-oriented life ambitions into fourteen days of frenzied, desperate "fun." Among the many downsides of this circumstance is the fact that you are always one unreliable rental car, one bachelor party-related hotel fire, one unforeseen bout of volcanic activity away from having no vacation at all. To make sure you're getting the most out of your all-too-scarce free time, you have to plan. You might even have to make a spreadsheet. Luckily, we've done a bit of the legwork for you. LIFE COMMENTARY OF THE WEEK Turning 30 Why? Because it's not "the new 21," and that should be a relief. To misquote Andy Warhol, "In the future, all famous people will be 15." This is to say that we live in a youth-obsessed culture, and the cocktail of narcissism, superficiality and strident belief common to all inexperienced people is our civilizational elixir. No wonder you're feeling a bit weird about turning 30. The pleasures of actual adulthood, however, still surround us. Money, freedom, the calm that comes of self-knowledge: It's all there for the enjoying -- if you'd only just let yourself. Read on for how one man dealt with turning 30.
