The State of Style in 2025 We’ve hit a moment in men’s fashion where contradictions coexist. Streetwear moguls share magazine covers with classic suit aficionados. One guy is in techwear straight out of Blade Runner, the other is in raw denim and a chore jacket, and both are considered stylish. In 2025, the rules of men’s fashion are no longer dictated by rigid categories. The real game is about mastering your own visual identity—finding the balance between rugged masculinity, timeless refinement, and real, wearable selfexpression. This is not about trends. It’s about standing out by standing firm. Men are shedding the fast-fashion impulse in favor of investing in pieces that work hard, look sharp, and age better. They want to feel confident walking into any room—boardroom or dive bar—and not…

Modern life has its perks—instant access to nearly everything, a bustling digital ecosystem, and a sense of ever-moving progress. But for a growing tribe of men, the convenience, noise, and constant striving became too much. Somewhere between burnout and the endless treadmill of deadlines, they found themselves craving silence, space, and something real. These are the stories of men who walked away from the rat race and chose to live wild—offgrid, overseas, or deep in the heart of nowhere. Not for a week. Not as a sabbatical. But for good—or at least, that was the plan. This isn’t about Instagram influencers posing next to waterfalls or trust-funders living out curated fantasies. These are the unfiltered tales of ordinary men who traded boardrooms for backwoods, traffic for tree lines, and Slack…

Navigating the turbulent waters of modern dating can feel like steering a ship through a storm. The excitement, the uncertainty, and sometimes, the drama that comes with relationships can be overwhelming. But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be this way? As a relationship coach and sex guru, I’ve seen it all—and I’m here to help you navigate these choppy waters with confidence, ease, and a whole lot less drama. The Modern Dating Landscape In today’s fast-paced world, dating has evolved dramatically. From swiping right to sliding into DMs, how we connect with potential partners is drastically different from what was just a decade ago. However, these changes come with a new set of challenges and plenty of drama. Many of my clients come to me frustrated…

One is never short of finding superlatives to describe the new Corvette ZR1, such is its unapologetically raw, sometimes uncouth, nature. It’s a bare-knuckle brawler that takes dead aim and leaves destruction in its wake. That’s the way it’s always been for the ‘Vette; the underdog and the American hero. It’s mantra: To do the most, and often with the least The latest version attempts to stay relevant amid its supercar contemporaries without subscribing to a mix of hybrid powertrains and heavy all-wheel drive systems. That launches it down a unique path and ensures it appeals to a very certain type of buyer. The goal was to extract the most power as possible with the revised LT7 5.5-litre turbo charged engine making 1064 horsepower, every day and all the time.…

From Average Joe to Alpha Hero We’ve all seen the jaw-dropping before-and-afters. A Hollywood actor goes from wiry indie heartthrob to chiseled, veiny demigod in six months flat. Suddenly, he’s shirtless on every billboard, swinging hammers, dodging bullets, or climbing walls—and looking damn good doing it. You know the look. Broad shoulders. V-taper back. Shredded abs. Thick arms. That hypermasculine, comic-book physique that dominates the modern blockbuster. But here’s what they don’t show you on the red carpet: the 5 a.m. workouts. The carb cycling. The sore joints. The six-day training splits and chicken-broccoli monotony. Because training like a superhero isn’t just a few sit-ups and some extra protein shakes. It’s war. In this deep dive, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to get a movie-star…

The Unspoken Role Everyone talks about the cheater and the cheated. The headlines are all about the man who betrayed his girl, or the woman who got caught with someone else. But what about the other man? The shadow figure. The guy she sneaks texts to while her boyfriend is watching TV. The man behind the midnight DMs and the secret hotel meetups. The side dude. We rarely hear from him. Maybe because he’s written off as a player or villain. Maybe because no one wants to admit they’ve been there. But the truth? The role of the “side dude” is more common—and complicated—than most guys want to admit. This is an unfiltered look into what it’s like being the other man, told through real stories, psychological insights, and a…

There was a time—not too long ago—when video gaming was considered the ultimate anti-social hobby. It was the thing you did in a dark bedroom, a realm of Mountain Dew bottles, pixelated violence, and teenage escapism. Gamers were mocked in films, pigeonholed in media, and written off as nerds, loners, or worse, social outcasts. But in the last decade, something dramatic has happened. The gamer has not only emerged from the shadows but stepped into the spotlight with swagger, influence, and a surprising amount of sex appeal. Gaming today is no longer a hobby to hide—it’s a billion-dollar industry, a global cultural phenomenon, and a social powerhouse that rivals Hollywood and professional sports in audience size, revenue, and prestige. The glow-up of gaming has been a long time coming, fueled…

In an era of viral flexing, rented Lambos, and TikTok finance gurus yelling about hustle culture from a Bali resort, a quieter revolution is taking place—one that isn’t trending but is most definitely thriving. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t need to. It’s called quiet wealth, and it’s bringing “cash is king” back into fashion for men who’d rather build real empires than chase digital illusions. Gone are the days when the loudest guy in the room was assumed to be the wealthiest. In fact, more often than not, the guy flexing the hardest is mortgaging his future for likes and illusions. The real winners today are the ones making stoic moves, playing the long game, and stacking quietly while everyone else is performing. From crypto collapse caution…

Desire Doesn't Die, It Just Naps There’s a moment that creeps into every long-term relationship—the subtle shift from passion to pattern. Sex, once spontaneous and electric, becomes predictable. The wild excitement of tearing each other’s clothes off fades into routine. You’re still in love, maybe even more deeply than ever, but the fire under the sheets? It’s flickering. And here’s the truth: this is completely normal. Modern psychology tells us that the chemicals responsible for lust—dopamine, testosterone, phenylethylamine—surge during the early days of a relationship, but gradually taper off. That doesn’t mean you’ve lost the spark—it just means it’s time to rekindle it. And if you’re reading this, you’ve already made the first move: wanting to change. This isn’t a list of recycled “try roleplay” suggestions or tips ripped from…

Model @FantasyLuluX Tell us about the moment you found out you would be featured in the magazine. What was your initial reaction? I was featured before in FHM’s calendar so being a calendar girl was already such an honor. But when I got picked to be in the magazine, I fell off my chair! I was so giddy with excitement. And I was out having dinner, so everyone around me was wondering why this girl was losing her mind. Can you share your favorite shot or spread from the magazine and why it holds special significance for you? I was on travel in the Philippines and we went from one penthouse rooftop pool to another in Manila to get the right shots. The whole experience was pretty thrilling because a…
