Back in the 50s, maybe, everyone strived to have the same things and even look the same as their neighbors, but those days are long gone. Now we are open to so many different styles, and there are many options short haircuts to give a man his own identity and style. Choosing the perfect short haircut may not be the easiest decision for a man to make, but it can definitely be fun for anyone to pick out a new, great short haircut.
Men can choose from short haircuts that are softer and more tapered, or that are sharper and more bold, like a razored style. The choice is simply up to an individual man and what he is looking for in terms of style and comfort. Short haircuts can evoke a fun, wild image, or a modern, conservative aura.
Short haircuts for men may not leave much hair, but there is certainly room for style and creativity. Regardless of what an individual man chooses, there are many available choices, and the right stylist or barber can even give you a great short haircut that takes years off! Who doesn’t want to look younger at some point in his life? A clean, tailored short haircut is perfect for any place and any time, be it the office, the sports game, or the weekend. With a little bit of time and consideration in choosing the right hairstyle, you’ll be happy with the results.
It doesn’t matter what texture or color your hair is, there are always good-looking short haircuts for men out there.

Gents,I think we ought to think like this.
The world is a hard place to survive. Falling in love. Broken hearts. Standing up for what you believe. Arachnids and an entire week dedicated to sharks. Earthquakes and economic meltdowns. Nine dollar beer nights at your favorite pub, and fashion statements that should have died years ago returning from the grave. It’s not easy to be alive through all this, let alone survive it as a gentleman. We must remain intact and stand out amongst the rest. No matter how difficult it gets out there. And the best part is, you can still look cool while doing it.
Now that you have the essential tools for surviving the 21st Century as a gentleman, it’s time to be cool.
Call her the next day. The “wait three days rule” will always be cool to break.
Rules that are not cool to break: Never date your friend’s ex, never date your ex’s friend, never date your ex’s roommate, no cutting in line, no cutting a “line” in the bathroom, keep a napkin on your lap while dining, and it’s still not okay to go in a woman’s purse.
LOL is not only NOT okay, it’s never cool.
Your socks should be as colorful as your wardrobe. Don’t be afraid of plaid, argyle, or stripes beneath your jeans or black slacks.
A gentleman never publicly worries, complains, or comments about money. A gentleman who is cool never hesitates to pick up a tab or loan to a friend in need. Remember, if you’re making more than 2 dollars a day, you’re considered in the top 3% of the richest people on the planet. Would you like some perspective with your coffee this morning?
At a business lunch, give your credit card to the waiter before you’re seated. This ends the debate when the meal is finished before it even starts.
Make eye contact with a woman. Then buy her a drink before going on your way, and leave it at that. The transaction is over, and she’ll be left thinking about you the rest of the night.
Buy a cup of coffee for the person in line behind you.
Displaying your masculinity at the bar or club or Sunday morning church service like a lion stalking a wounded herd of scattered sheep is never cool. This representation of the circle of life in the animal kingdom always ends in a bloody massacre, so take note: stay cool, calm, and collected when she walks into the room. Eye contact with a smile from across the way is often your green light to casually approach the situation, and make your introduction.
You are not your job or how you pay the bills. Upon introductions, ask someone what it is they “do,” really do with their life, and not how they put food on the table. Not only can this question change a person’s entire day, it will also tell you more about them than any question regarding their salary.
The cooler you are, the less of your phone I should see. This is not a green light for your wireless earpiece to be worn at all times. If your hands are not at 10 and 2 on a steering wheel while you’re closing a million dollar deal in Japan, then take it out, jerk. You’re not as cool as you think you are.
Don’t be afraid to make decisions, even if you’re not the authoritative type. Call the shot. Whether or not your gun is loaded, pull the trigger.
Stay cool by being creative on dates. Anything is better than going for drinks. Take her for a balloon ride, a hike, or bowling and forget to keep score. Play cards in the park, or even steal street signs if she’s the mischievous type.
Never lose your cool. This is very un-cool.
Throwing up is never cool unless you’re with the band.
Facebook is a public place. Stay cool by staying mysterious. Lose the inside jokes and status updates every 30 minutes. No one cares about what you are eating, where you are going, how cute that little dog was hanging out the window, how you take your coffee, or what you are wearing. And that picture from college of you with a funnel, standing on a keg, and your best friend, Pete, licking your face…untag yourself, brother.
Make your yes’s mean yes, and your no’s mean no.
Always speak with confidence no matter the subject matter.
Hang out with people cooler than you. This makes you cool by association.
Lose the baggy clothes unless you make millions performing gangster rap.
Popped collars are not cool. They were never cool. Unless you’re Dracula or an Elvis Impersonator, keep ‘em down. This look only works with your winter jacket. All other occasions: unacceptable.
Ask her out. It’s that simple. She’s been waiting for you to do it, I promise. There’s nothing cooler, or sexier, than a man who has the confidence to walk across the room and ask out a woman. And if she says no? Treat her exactly the same way you did thirty seconds ago before asking. Surprise. Your world didn’t stop and implode. The exhilaration of taking this risk is hard to top, no matter the results. Disclaimer: This is NOT permission to go asking out every woman in a thirty-mile radius like the world is going to end tomorrow. Very un-cool.
Am I cool? I own five shirts and one pair of boots, and wear the same jeans six days a week. My hair is too thick and I can’t grow enough facial hair to look rugged. I sometimes talk too much instead of listening too well, and I don’t have a six-pack. You’re damn right I am cool. Because it’s not about the way you look or the sound of your voice or your job, it’s your state of mind. It’s confidence in the man God created you to be.
So be cool.

I fink Die Antwoord freek.
Die Antwoord's latest album Tension is definitely a tensile offering.Bullheaded,complete with that rags-to-riches-cutthroat-attitude and a rat-a-tat repartee to match.Totally unorthodox,incontestably futuristic.And just by the way,your sudden interest interest in them,does not trip them up.They know you are now curious because they are blowing up overseas,so they let you know vehemently.Most local musicians would agree unanimously that nothing spells out 'success' than 1 :a Rolling Stone magazine cover, 2: performing at the Future Music Festival along side Jessie J and Gym Class Heroes amongst others.What more can Die Antwoord say? except "Fok Julle Naaiers",meaning the critics,the haters and the nay-sayers,irrefutably.
The production is outstanding,pretty much an amalgamation of NWA gangstar beats with that pronounced Cape Town electro meets rave kind of techno music.Track number 2 'I fink U Freek' is a catchy melody,I bet you'll struggle to shake it out of your head long after you've heard it,if you haven't already.Another good song is 'You make a ninja wanna f**k', which naturally will make you want to uhm! well, I'll let your imagination run with that one.All in all this is a dope album,Ninja doesn't mince his words,he let's us have it.Yolandie is click,witty and straight up cool.There is a certain camaderie between them that reminds me of Bonnie and Clyde.They are a talented duo parallel to none,there is a pronounced novelty about their artistry and their musicality is refreshing.Go cop yourself a copy.
