		<description><![CDATA[You know that not paying your bills on time will hurt your credit score — but so will some behavior you probably think <i>helps</i> it.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/batcard510.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22443" title="batcard510" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/batcard510.jpg" alt="5 Things You Never Knew Hurt Your Credit Score" width="510" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Good credit is important if you want to do stuff like get a loan to buy a <a href="http://www.modernman.com/7-ways-to-prepare-your-car-for-winter/" target="_blank">car</a> or a mortgage to buy a house. Some employers even check a potential hire&#8217;s credit score to see if he&#8217;s demonstrated fiscal responsibility. And while (we hope) you know that welching on <a href="http://www.modernman.com/8-things-you-should-know-about-credit-card-rewards/" target="_blank">credit card</a> payments or maxing out your cards are surefire ways to nosedive your credit score, there are also things you probably never would have thought could affect your score. Things like …</p>
<p><strong><strong>#1: Signing Up For In-Store Credit Cards</strong><br />
</strong>You really shouldn&#8217;t make a habit of signing up for a store&#8217;s credit card so you can save 15 percent on chinos. That&#8217;s because each time the cashier runs your application for approval, he or she creates an inquiry on your credit report that stays there for two years. Do this enough and credit monitoring companies will declare you irresponsible and drop your score so you’ll be charged higher interest rates when applying for a car loan or a mortgage. Plus, in-store cards tend to have higher interest rates. Besides, those <a href="http://www.modernman.com/2011-holiday-gift-guide-clothing/&quot;" target="_blank">pants</a> make your hips look big.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>#2: Canceling Credit Cards With A Zero Balance</strong><br />
If you&#8217;re not being charged a fee to keep a card open, just let it be. It’s better to show that you have a paid-off account and no history of delinquency than to have no accounts open at all. Plus, if the card is left inactive long enough, the credit card companies will view your account as liability instead of an asset since you&#8217;re not giving them any <a href="http://www.modernman.com/money/&quot;" target="_blank">money</a>. And then they&#8217;ll close them for you.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[You can win serious cash with can't-miss* Super Bowl prop bets about stuff like how often we'll see Gisele Bundchen during Super Bowl XLVI. (*Bets can, in fact, miss.)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Eli-Brady-Super-Bowl-main.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22582" title="Super Bowl Prop Betting main" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Eli-Brady-Super-Bowl-main.jpg" alt="Super Bowl Prop Betting" width="510" height="328" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Eli-Brady-Super-Bowl-main.jpg"></a>Super Bowl XLVI is shaping up to be the most annoying big game in years, what with insufferable Patriots fans and obnoxious Giants fans and the whole Boston/New York storyline playing out yet again. <em>(Uh, we </em>may<em> still be upset that the teams we care about got knocked out of the playoffs. —Ed.)</em></p>
<p>Those of us without a dog in this fight are therefore forced to turn to the one source of entertainment that never fails: getting shamefully drunk at the Super Bowl parties we&#8217;re attending. Oh, and gambling. Gambling also never fails. Prop bets — they&#8217;re will-it-or-won&#8217;t-it-happen bets that don&#8217;t really have anything to do with the outcome of a game — are perfect for those who don&#8217;t care all that much about who wins. (In Vegas, Super Bowl prop bets make up a massive chunk of the money laid down on the game.)</p>
<p>Since we don&#8217;t care all that much about the Golden Boy and Eli, these are some of the prop bets we&#8217;ll be considering on Sunday. (All lines are from Bovada.lv, the recently rechristened Bodog.com)</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kelly-Clarkson-Super-Bowl.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22601" title="Kelly Clarkson Super Bowl" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kelly-Clarkson-Super-Bowl.jpg" alt="Kelly Clarkson | Super Bowl Prop Bets" width="250" height="315" /></a>How long will it take Kelly Clarkson to sing the National Anthem?<br />
(Over/under: 1 minute, 34 seconds)</strong><br />
Ms. Clarkson was invited to perform on the most recent VH1 Divas special. It is against the diva code to sing quickly when you can labor over every note. Take the over.</p>
<p><strong>Will Clarkson’s bare belly be showing?<br />
(Yes, +300)</strong><br />
Clarkson is a talented performer, but do a Google image search of “Kelly Clarkson fat.” We think you&#8217;ll agree that the answer is <em>no</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Will Madonna be wearing fishnet stockings at any point during the Super Bowl halftime show?<br />
(Yes -120, No -120)</strong><br />
Madonna is in her 50s, so … actually, that doesn&#8217;t mean anything when it comes to Madonna. This could go either way.</p>
<p><strong>What will Madonna be singing into at the start of the Super Bowl halftime show?<br />
(Headset -300, Microphone +200)</strong><br />
Given the copious amounts of lip-syncing involved, there’s no way the Material Girl even pretends to be “singing” by using a mic.</p>
<p><strong>What color will the Gatorade (or liquid) be that&#8217;s dumped on the head coach of the winning Super Bowl team?<br />
(Clear 2/1; Yellow 2/1; Orange 9/4; Red 11/2; Green 6/1; Blue 10/1)</strong><br />
It is a scientific fact that red (i.e., Fruit Punch) Gatorade is the best, but for some reason we rarely see it on the sideline. So we&#8217;re going to take orange in a mild upset.</p>
<p><strong>How many times will Peyton Manning appear on TV during the game?<br />
(Over/under: 3.5 times)</strong><br />
This seems like a gimme, given Peyton’s little bro Eli and his ties to Super Bowl site Indianapolis. Unless he hides in the corner of the luxury box he’s sitting in, expect to see a lot of Mr. Manning.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Gisele.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22604" title="Gisele" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Gisele.jpg" alt="Gisele | Super Bowl Prop Bets" width="250" height="315" /></a>How many times will Giselle Bundchen be shown on TV during the game?<br />
(Over/under: .5 times)</strong><br />
If we had our way, this number would be in the dozens — and Giselle would be wearing Madonna&#8217;s fishnets and not much else. Take the over; even NBC is smart enough to show a supermodel at least once during a football game … right?</p>
<p><strong>What will be higher, Eli Manning’s completions (+120) or LeBron James’ points (-150)?</strong><br />
The Giants are almost certainly going to try to slow down the Patriots by running the ball, so don’t expect more than 20 completions from Eli. Even if he gags in the fourth quarter, LeBron should win.</p>
<p><strong>Who will the Super Bowl MVP thank first?<br />
(Teammates 8/5; Coach 12/1; Family 7/1; God 4/1; Owner 9/2; No one 11/4)</strong><br />
If only Tim Tebow were here, this would be easy money. Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin aren’t exactly the lovey-dovey types, so “teammates” seems like the safest bet.</p>
<p><strong>What will happen with the stock market the day after the Super Bowl?<br />
(Dow Up -140; Dow Down Even)</strong><br />
Whatever it takes to get these smelly Occupy kids off our damn lawn will make us happy. Go with the up.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Impress both the boss and the ladies with these super versatile duds you can wear just about anywhere.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bonobos.com/welcome/2011fall_prospect1?utm_source=modernman&amp;utm_medium=display"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21846" title="bonobos_main2" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bonobos_main2.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="340" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bonobos_main2.jpg"></a>Chances are you change your clothes when you go to the gym and when you go to bed. That&#8217;s already an <em>exhausting</em> amount of clothes-changing. So in an ideal world, you wouldn&#8217;t need to worry about switching out tired office attire for duds that are more casual, more stylish, and more appropriate for a bar or restaurant.</p>
<p>In other words, you want comfortable clothes that impress the boss just as much as the ladies — and we&#8217;ve got you covered with several staples that you can wear pretty much anywhere. <strong>(Plus, when ModernMan.com readers enter the code &#8220;BETTERFIT&#8221; at <a href="http://www.bonobos.com/welcome/2011fall_prospect1?utm_source=modernman&amp;utm_medium=display" target="_blank">bonobos.com</a>, they&#8217;ll get 20 percent off their orders!)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21819" title="transparent_35px" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/transparent_35px.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="35" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.bonobos.com/welcome/2011fall_prospect1?utm_source=modernman&amp;utm_medium=display"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-21824" title="bonobo_swr_250x250" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bonobo_swr_250x250.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a><a href="http://www.bonobos.com/navy-with-grey-tipping?utm_source=modernman&amp;utm_medium=display">Bonobos Navy V-Neck Sweater With Grey Tipping ($248)<br />
</a></strong>You may not own anything made of cashmere, but you&#8217;ve surely heard women ooh and ah over how soft and cozy the fabric is. But as a dude, you&#8217;ll simply react … well, the exact same way. This navy v-neck works great over button-downs, t-shirts, or dickeys, and … actually, never mind about the dickeys. Point is, it looks great at the office or at the bar, it&#8217;s incredibly comfortable, and it will make women ooh and ah and want to touch you.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, condoms may not be the ideal medium for personal expression.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/condoms510_mm.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22470" title="condoms510_mm" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/condoms510_mm.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/condoms510_mm.jpg"></a>Most of the <a href="http://www.modernman.com/business-logos-that-are-practically-porn/" target="_blank">porn</a> you&#8217;ll watch in the future may very consist of threesomes: a dude, a woman, and a condom. Newly passed legislation makes condom use mandatory while filming adult movies in Los Angeles — and that includes the San Fernando Valley, which is the nation&#8217;s unofficial porn capital. Health officials have hailed the landmark vote, saying it&#8217;ll prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases; the multibillion-dollar porn movie industry claims movie sales will go flaccid, and has threatened to relocate.</p>
<p>All of which was just an excuse for us to go looking for the weirdest condoms we could find …</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/transparent_35px1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/kamasutracondoms_mm .jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22419" title="kamasutracondoms_mm" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/kamasutracondoms_mm.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="285" /></a><strong><a href="http://charlesandmarie.com/een/kamasutra-condoms" target="_blank">Kamasutra Condoms</a> ($26 for 64) </strong><br />
They tell women that you&#8217;re an art lover who is also good about making plans. What a catch!<img src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/transparent_35px1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/occupy_Mm.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-22397 alignleft" title="occupy_Mm" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/occupy_Mm.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="277" /></a><strong><a href="http://www.condomania.com/condoms-by-type/celebrity-condoms/occupy-condoms.html" target="blank">Occupy Condoms </a> ($12 for 30)<br />
</strong>Unfortunately, the wrapper implies that 1. you don&#8217;t want to have sex, 2. if you do have sex, you won&#8217;t be concerned about her needs, and 3. there&#8217;s always a 1 percent chance that she&#8217;s going to get preggers. In other words, much like the Occupy movement itself, these could use better packaging.<strong> </strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[New Year's resolution starting to sputter? Not advancing as quickly as you'd like? Then use these techniques to make your workouts more fun and effective.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/superchargeworkouts510.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22272" title="superchargeworkouts510" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/superchargeworkouts510.jpg" alt="Ways To Supercharge Your Workouts" width="510" height="300" /></a></strong></p>
<p>In order to look halfway decent when it&#8217;s time to get naked with a woman, you need to exercise consistently and go easy on the Bugles. The problem is that going to the gym isn&#8217;t fun and takes precious time away from important things like dominating <a href="http://www.modernman.com/2011-holiday-gift-guide-entertainment/3/" target="_blank">Skyrim</a>. And when you do go to the gym regularly but you stop seeing progress — you&#8217;ve either stopped losing weight or adding muscle mass — it&#8217;s tough to find a reason to keep returning.</p>
<p>Meatheads refer to the stagnation as plateauing, and once it happens, you have to find new training methods and techniques to break out of the rut. Sometimes it&#8217;s as easy as brining your mp3 player or Discman to the gym; other times it means showing up with a brand new game plan. <img src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/transparent_35px1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>1. LISTEN TO MUSIC</strong><br />
Putting on <a href="http://www.modernman.com/awesome-headphones-for-200-or-less/" target="_blank">earphones</a> at the gym can help drown out the sounds dudes grunting like cavemen when they bench press or elliptical <em>super</em> hard. But a 2009 study also found that people who listened to their choice of music while exercising performed at least one extra rep on every set of every exercise during a <a href="http://www.modernman.com/the-best-workouts-for-men-shoulders/" target="_blank">shoulder workout</a> compared to those who listened to no music.<img src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/transparent_35px1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>2. BE MORE EFFICIENT<br />
</strong>Hitting a weight lifting plateau is like doing your job well but never being given a promotion or raise. The techniques below are like working half the time and being paid twice as much for it. So use them.</p>
<p><strong> • Drop sets: </strong>Perform a set of an <a href="http://www.modernman.com/how-to-revamp-your-exercise-routine/" target="_blank">exercise</a>, then immediately reduce the weight and do the same lift until failure. (If you are able to lift the reduced weight as many times as the initial weight, you&#8217;ve taken off too much.)</p>
<p><strong>• Supersets</strong>: Two exercises performed back-t0-back with little or no rest between sets.</p>
<p><strong>•  Trisets:</strong> Same as a superset, except you&#8217;re doing three exercises instead of two.</p>
<p><strong>•  Giant sets: </strong>Same as a triset, except you&#8217;re doing four or more exercises instead of three.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wintergloves510.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22016" title="wintergloves510" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wintergloves510.jpg" alt="6 Cool Pairs of Winter Gloves" width="510" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Even during relatively mild winters, most of us need a <a href="http://www.modernman.com/5-winter-hats-that-wont-make-you-look-dopey/" target="_blank">hat</a>, <a href="http://www.modernman.com/winter-boots-perfect-for-whatever-youre-doing/" target="_blank">boots</a>, a <a href="http://www.modernman.com/winter-gear-thatll-help-you-own-the-snow/5/" target="_blank">coat</a>, a <a href="http://www.modernman.com/how-to-wear-a-scarf-like-a-man/" target="_blank">scarf</a>, and gloves.</p>
<p>All gloves are not created equal, and they all certainly don&#8217;t look equal when you&#8217;re wearing them. Some are specifically tailored for winter activities like skiing or snowboarding, while others were made to give your hands and fingers the ability to send emails and texts, or even (<em>allegedly</em>) commit horrible, disgusting, inhumane acts of violence. We don&#8217;t anticipate you (<em>allegedly</em>) pulling an <a href="http://www.modernman.com/celebrity-endorsement-deals-that-didnt-work-out/" target="_blank">O.J. Simpson</a> or anything, but if you did — or if you just wanted to work on your <a href="http://www.modernman.com/7-ways-to-prepare-your-car-for-winter/" target="_blank">car</a>, yard, or look cool while having warm hands — at least one of these six pairs of gloves will do the trick.<strong><img src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/transparent_35px1.jpg" alt="" /></strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/glove_manzella.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22028" title="glove_manzella" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/glove_manzella.jpg" alt="6 Cool Pairs of Winter Gloves" width="250" height="250" /></a>For running: <a href="http://www.manzella.com/index.php/running/detail/154" target="_blank">Manzella Hatchback</a> ($35)</strong><br />
When it&#8217;s cold outside, you may be tempted to move your cardio indoors to treadmills and elliptical machines. And that can be boring. So change things up with an outdoor run once or twice a week, and when you do, you can keep your hands toasty with these Hatchbacks. They have a protective finger hood that can be easily tucked away if the weather is mild; breathable microfleece lining to keep you warm, and a polyurethane film to deflect wind.<strong><img src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/transparent_35px1.jpg" alt="" /></strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/glove_snowborg.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22026" title="glove_snowborg" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/glove_snowborg.jpg" alt="6 Cool Pairs of Winter Gloves" width="250" height="250" /></a>For the slopes: <a href="http://www.thenorthface.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TNFSearchResult?langId=-1&amp;storeId=207&amp;catalogId=10201&amp;searchTerm=snoborg" target="_blank">The North Face Snoborg</a> ($110)</strong><br />
The Snoborgs will finally enable you to nail a front-side double cork 180 … okay, that&#8217;s not true. But they&#8217;ll keep your fingers cozy and make you look kinda like a <a href="http://www.modernman.com/star-wars-uncut-the-ultimate-fan-remake/" target="_blank">Storm Trooper</a> while you&#8217;re hurtling toward your possible death. With a unique five-dimensional fit, the Snoborg is anatomically designed to flex with your movements. And water-resistant goat leather and a super soft brushed microfleece make these way more comfortable than any Empire-issued gear.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[In <i>The Grey</i>, Liam Neeson beats down wolves with <i>broken liquor bottles strapped to his fists.</i> But the best way to fend off an attack depends a lot on the animal.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-22315 alignnone" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/liam.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="287" /></p>
<p>Liam Neeson has beaten up terrorists, pimps, Sith, and Batmen. And since movie studios never put out derivative movies, he had to find something different to beat up. So he went with the obvious choice — bloodthirsty wolves!</p>
<p><em>The Grey</em>, which opens this weekend, stars Neeson as the alpha male of a drilling team stranded in the Alaskan wilderness. In it, Neeson shows those wolves who&#8217;s boss by wielding <em>broken mini liquor bottles strapped to his fists. </em>Now, if you&#8217;re being attacked by animals but don&#8217;t have access to a hotel mini bar and some string, you&#8217;ll need to go to plan B. And we&#8217;re here to help.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22383" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/transparent_35px9.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="35" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pit.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22322" title="pit" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pit.jpg" alt="How To Beat Up Animals - Dogs" width="250" height="250" /></a>DOGS</strong><br />
Wolf attacks are actually extremely rare — there&#8217;ve only been 49 documented cases in the U.S. since 1942. Domestic dogs, however, bite 4.7 million people each year in the U.S. If you should run into a pissed-off mutt, remember not to run, because the dog will just assume you&#8217;re prey and chase you. Instead, stand up tall, turn slightly sideways to the dog, keep your arms at your sides, avoid eye contact, and back away slowly. If the dog does bite, pull its ears or gouge its eyes.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Think you can differentiate between a manufactured orgasm and the real deal? A former faker explains why it's not as easy as you think.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/orgasm510_mm.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22193" title="orgasm510_mm" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/orgasm510_mm.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m no actress. In fact, I&#8217;m so bad at acting that I played &#8220;Non-Speaking Tree&#8221; in pretty much every school play in which I was cast. And yet even I can gasp and sputter a very convincing “I’m coming!’” like nobody&#8217;s business. And apparently I’m not alone.</p>
<p>A national <a href="http://www.modernman.com/love-and-sex" target="_blank">sex</a> study by Indiana University shows that while 85 percent of men say that their latest sexual partner had an orgasm, only 64 percent of women say they climaxed the last time they had sex. I’m almost as bad at math as I am at acting, but it sounds to me like 21 percent of the women surveyed are faking fakers — and that 21 percent of the guys totally fell for it.</p>
<p>Assuming you don’t want to be one of the suckers who has no idea whether or not he’s really pleasing a woman, check out these five telltale signs that her orgasm is scripted.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>1. She&#8217;s Making Sense<br />
</strong> Let&#8217;s put it this way: “That feels so good, don’t stop” is what a woman says when you’re rubbing her feet after she&#8217;s endured a long day in heels. “That … ohmi … keep … don’ t … yes, there, holy …” is what a woman says when you&#8217;re doing an excellent job in the sack. Stringing together a coherent sentence is nearly impossible when the Big O is on the horizon. And if her moans and groans sound like the moans and groans in the <a href="http://www.modernman.com/business-logos-that-are-practically-porn/" target="_blank">porn</a> you watch — perfectly synchronized with your every thrust — your fake orgasm radar should be on high alert. That’s because women in porn are <em>acting</em>. Real women do not orgasm from being mercilessly pounded over and over again with little to no clitoral stimulation.</p>
