After graduating from the US Naval Academy and serving as a military officer, this US Navy Leiutenant is leaving the military after 11 years of service. Disco Valante’s resignation letter was approved!
It will definetly be strange not wearing a uniform and not having people call me “Sir” all the time. However, now I can be a wreckless and care free guy.
Big party to follow!
You’ve just purchased a sexy, new pair of underwear from Disco Valante and can’t wait to show them off on your next booty call. But when you do finally disrobe in front of your new “friend”, they cringe in disgust at the site of your unkempt caveman pube bush.
Where have you been the last few years? The Tom Selleck (aka Magnum, PI) look is out. Nobody wants a furry wolf-man anymore. A smooth swimmer body is what’s “in”.
It can be scary to wield a sharp razor around your “one eyed warrior” but it is a necessary evil with today’s grooming standards. Use electric clippers as a substitute for a razor.
But why should you trim your pubic hair? First of all (and perhaps the best reason), trimming your pubic hair can make your erection look huge. But, of course you wouldn’t care about that. Don’t forget about hygiene. Your whole area will be cleaner, smell better, and be much more inviting. And of course, general sexiness!
The benefits of having a shaved pubic area will be apparent straight away!
Any tips or comments fellas?
Disco Valante has run into a major road block. The simpliest way to describe my problem is to say the bank won’t give me money!
After fours months of early preparation and submitting my business loan application, the guy in charge of my paperwork has to decided to renege on offering start-up funds.
Does Disco Valante have good credit? - Yes.
Has the loan officer ever expressed any faults with the business plan or financial estimates? - No.
Is Disco Valante a college graduate? - Degreee in Electrical Engineering. Check.
Has Disco Valante owned another business and made a profit? - Yes.
Has the loan officer ever said everything looks good and there are no problems? - Yes.
Has the loan officer been sitting on my paperwork and not doing his job for 4 months? - Hell Yes!
It isn’t that I can’t get the money from another institution, it is just the lackidasical manner in which my application is being handled that pisses me off.
If you don’t know, I’m currently in the Middle East and two weeks away from returning to Washington, DC. I was supposed to sign my paperwork on 1AUG. I am almost certain the loan officer would have waited until I got into the bank to tell me the disapproval news…that’s the level of professionalism and courtesy I’m dealing with.
On the cusp of flying to China, I must now worry about money. I guess this is the cost of doing business!
Once agian, Disco Valante must instruct the class on the color of pink and its place in fashion. I would have thought the students in my last class would have passed on the this information to rest of society but they have failed me.
After a much heated debate in my office with a victim of bad fashion, I have one statement to make…PINK ROCKS!
Why are so many men afraid to wear pink?
A man who wears pink is a someone who is daring. A man who wears pink gets complimented. When I wear pink, I have to beat the ladies (and the occasional male admirer) off with a stick. Everytime I have seen a man wear pink his stride is more confident and his poise is more manly.
Do you have what it takes to wear pink? Do you like pink on men but are to shy to wear it yourself? Or do you think pink is strictly for little girls? Disco wants to know.
The Disco Valante Clothing Blog has accumulated 10,000 hits in 4 months!!!
I know to some blogs this number isn’t much. However, I remember when I got 2 hits or no hits a day. When I used to get 20 hits a day I was jumping for joy. Now I’m clocking over 200 hits a day. Which again, maybe be small numbers for some blogs but still I’m pretty excited.
If the number of blog hits is any indication of interested consumers in my kick ass clothing label, I’m in for a hell of ride.
Thanx everyone for visiting my blog, writing me emails, and telling your friends about me. Don’t forget to go to Disco Valante Online and register your email for the news of the fall launch.
Swimming in your underwear is not the most stylish statement I suggest you make. I can only validate swimming in your underwear under the following conditions:
1. You attend a house party where the drunken festivities move from the living room to the pool out back.
2. You are wearing Disco Valante underwear and realize there is nothing better to show off your sexiness.
3. You are built like a cover model of a fitness magazine.
Outside of these circumstances I don’t think your swim attire should consist of tighty whities. Showing off your junk at the pool in a public setting just isn’t as sexy as one would think. I think it is rather creepy.
Does your swim attire consist of the underwear you put on before you headed to the pool? Under what circumstances would you wear underwear while swimming?
My friend Cooper, the owner of GayListDaily.com, has gotten some much deserved press for his new business. Disco Valante would like to extend his congratulations on the recent enourmous jump in viewership and email registration.
The people at GayListDaily.com are avid readers on my blog and I thank them for constantly encouraging me.
It has always been important that not only do I succeed, but the people around me succeed. Way to go Cooper!
I love a great pair of jeans but I’m not sure about a great pair of underwear made out of denim. All I can think about is “going commando” in a pair of jeans and having the constant irritation of denim rubbing the family jewels raw. However, I’m confident they are treated to ensure comfort (fingers crossed).
Since Disco Valante Clothing is prepping for the fall launch, I want to know if you think you could add denim undies into your regular underwear rotation or is this just a novelty to throw in your drawer of thongs, jock straps and other special occasion man panties.
Disco Valante is gearing up for a successful launch and sustained professional importance in the fashion world and social community.
I have posted previews of our opening collection but that was some time ago. I just wanted to refresh everyone’s memory. I will re-post this entry every month to keep our creaviteness in the mind of our followers.
Don’t forget to bookmark www.discovalante.com and go there to register you email address for news of the official launch this fall!
At the core of a man’s personal style is his ability to have healthy relationships. I was just thinking about my friend and the amount of support he has given me over the years.
For those who have been reading this blog, will recognize Disco Valante’s best friend, Erik (aka “Straight”-ish boy). Erik, a US Navy military officer, is deployed in South East Asia.
He’s my sounding board for all of my entrepreneurial and life goals. We push each other to be the best. While traveling through this life it is great to have a friend brother like Erik.
If you don’t currently surround yourself with people who are positive and really want to see you do well, then you should weed those people out of your life. There are only two things any person can ever do for you…push you up or bring you down!
Negative people are poison, especially negative people who are close to you because you value their opinion no matter how wrong it is. Conversely, you should always try to be positive and not belittle other people’s work, dreams, or thoughts with your negativity.
Always wish people the best and give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism when trying to help others. Being stylish is more than just having cool clothes and nice hair cut, it’s about being a gentleman on all levels, physically and emotionally.
Getting a Chinese visa during the summer games is like pulling teeth but Disco Valante has managed to get one. China here I come!
When I think of tighty whites, I think of a 8 year old boy watching Saturday morning cartoons and eating a bowl of cereal. I can’t really understand why any fashionable man would gravitate toward them! However, I have been wrong before…I think it was in 1986.
Can this choice of ultimate plainness be sexy? Disco Valante wants to know:
1. Are there any guys out there that still wear tighty whities?
2. If so, do you try to use the dick hole feature?
Or do you think tighty whites are strictly for little boys?
I’m baaack! After spending approx 15 hours in the Dubai International Airport, my work in Kyrgyzstan is postponed. I never made it past my flight to Dubai. My flight connections were totally screw by Turkish Airlines.
Oh well, back to grind of my clothing label.
Besides building my clothing empire, I have a little job of defending freedom in all corners of the world. I will be in the country of Kyrgyzstan for a week. I’m not sure how the internet capability will be so please be patient and register you email at Disco Valante Online.
The good news is you are a day closer to rockin’ some of the coolest underwear to be sold. Thanks for visiting the blog. Tell your friends.
Please register your email at Disco Valante Online to get news about the upcoming launch this fall!
Today, I went to the Chinese Embassy to work out the travel logistics of my business trip to meet the manufacturers. Apparently, unless you have an invitation to the Summer Games, you can’t get a visa to enter China. What the #@*%? How can you exclude people from conducting business just because of track and field? Very easily, I found out. I just spent $1800 on airline tickets and hotel reservations!
Luckily, I waited for someone who knew what the hell they were talking about. Even though China is stopping all flow of persons not entering for the Olympics, I was informed I only need to get an additional invitation letter from my Chinese manufacturering company and then I will be granted a visa.
Thank goodness!
Disco Valante is consistently preaching about style and how it has to be in all facets of your life. This includes your “crib”, your place of residence.
How many times have you met someone who is well put together only to go over their house at the end of the night to bump uglies (aka have sex) and you see their sense of style stops at their wardrobe? Or even worse, that they have a house so nasty you don’t want the soles of you shoe to touch their floor, let alone get into their bed.
Having a nice home doesn’t mean you have to live in a swanky neighborhood or have the most expensive furniture. Let Disco Valante help you get your pad into shape.
First, clean your damn place. That is the most important step!
Paint will change the mood and look of your place instantaneously. After taking my advice last year, I helped one of my best friends, Carlos, paint his apartment. His previous apartment was fine but didn’t have any style and said nothing about him as a person. He chose colors that he found pleasing and suitable to his personal style. Don’t go overboard with a pink or dark green walls! Choosing nice earth tones that will blend with all kinds of furniture is a safe bet.
Now, I’m going to give YOU an exclusive look into my Washington, DC home to show you I really do practice what I preach. The top photo is my house and the bottom photos were taken during renovation and shortly after I started buying furniture.

Once you go black…you never go back! But does that sentiment apply to underwear? 
Black underwear is always stylish and screams sexy! However, that’s just my expert opinion.
Since Disco Valante Clothing is prepping for the fall launch, I want to know if you find black underwear classically erotic or is there more to be desired with more daring colors and designs.
I was just reading Cameron’s (aka Tuffie) Blog, Tuffie’s Rants and Raves. He had this wonderful discussion about t-shirts.
For about a year now, deep V-neck T-shirts have been all the rage in the US. Some hate them, when they should be LOVED! Only to state the obvious, deep V-necks look better when you have a clean shaven, manly chest. I guess that’s why I rock them.
Being a fan of the deep V-necks, I plan on incorporating them into my opening collection. However, Disco Valante wants to get a pulse of what the people actually want. Do you think deep V-necks are cool? And why or why not?
I don’t have any tattoos but I do think they can be cool. If you are daring enough, like this guy, (even though he really doesn’t have this tattoo in real life) it can look cool if it flows with your overall style. However, based on placement and actual design, some tattoos are absolutely wrong.
Placement
I personally think tattoos should not interfere with your ability to conduct business and to be thought of as a serious adult. Tattoos on the neck, hands and face are silly. How can you be taken seriously? If you are an rock star or professional wrestler, I will let you slide.
Secondly, men should never get tramp stamps (tattoos on the lower back above the waist line). Hell, girls shouldn’t even get them there. Additionally, tattoos around your belly button is a NO, NO!
Design
If you are gonna get something, get something cool! Don’t get Tweety Bird or the seal of the President of the United States. Get tribal designs, Chinese characters, or some other time tested, bad-ass art.
Tattoos, like anything else, should be done with class.
It’s summer time and everyone is pouring on the lotion and sizzlin’ in the summer sun to get that bronze skin complexion. Since everyone isn’t bold enough to sun tan naked, people get these killer tan lines. Sometimes when I see someone with a good tan and an extremely white booty I laugh really hard to myself. Then sometimes I think it can be really hot in a very strange way…to me at least.
Maybe when I launch my swim suit line and everyone has a Disco Valante tan line, I will love it.
So are tan lines hot or should you go to the tanning bed and even it out?
As I am writing this post, some guy is sitting at his computer wearing a pair of underwear he has had for the last 7 years. The elastic in the waistband has lost it’s elasticity, the color is so faded it looks like acid wash, and I’m sure there are probably a few holes.
Wearing beat up, torn underwear is just ugly. Even if they are clean, they still look dirty. A man should always renew his underwear collection and discard of older pairs. I know what some of you are saying, “Nobody sees them but me!”. That, my friend, is the wrong attitude.
I recommend an underwear self life of no longer than 18 months. However, some materials hold better than others but styles and designs are always changing. Not only should your outer wardrobe be updated but so should your man panties.
Don’t worry you’ll be able to update your underwear collection with Disco Valante soon enough!
Fashion isn’t just about what you wear however, but how you wear it! You could take the exact same clothing and put it on two different men and it could look completely different. No matter what type of clothing it is, the fashions will look better on a man that is in shape than on a man that it is out of shape.
Taking care of your body is simply a matter of making a few minor changes to your lifestyle such as diet and exercise. Working out a few hours at the gym every week won’t kill you and you will definitely see a difference in your body. You’ll feel better about your body, be more confident and, therefore, look better in whatever you choose to wear.
With that being said, when developing your own personal style the most important thing to remember is to stay true to yourself. Just because a men’s fashion trend looked great on your favorite actor doesn’t necessarily mean it’s for you. If you’re uncomfortable in it, chances are it isn’t the style for you.
There are enough styles of men’s clothing out there that everyone should be able to find their own personal style. Developing your own style should always be fun. When you discover what style works for you, you’ll see that striving to look your best isn’t work at all; it just comes naturally.
Do you work out only to admire yourself in the mirror? Are you sitting at home and letting your great body go to waste? Why not share your physique with the world? Be a Disco Valante Boy!
Disco Valante is looking for underwear models to feature on his website. Experience level is irrelevant. I’m looking for pretty faces and killer bodies.
If you want to be considered for a modeling gig, please contact me via email discovalanteclothing(at)gmail.com. Please include several photos of you sporting underwear, from various angles, along with your stats. All pics should be clear. All underwear model applicants should be no younger than 17. The photo shoot will be in NYC this September.
The website is looking good! I just finished having a phone conference with my web designer and I’m very happy with the progress. The page is going to feature an online store packed with great looking men’s underwear and T’s mixed with slick and entertaining content. I wish I could show you guys but you just have to wait…sorry.
In the meantime, go to Disco Valante Online and register your email for news of the upcoming launch. Get ready to wear the best looking men’s underwear and T’s.
Beach season is here! I know lots of you are tanning and splashing around in the hot summer sun. Disco Valante is going to give you some tips on what to bring to a fashionable day at the beach.
Sunglasses - It’s a staple at the beach. They not only protect our eyes from UV rays and make sun tanning less horrid on the eyes, but also make you look so damned good! First off, your sunglasses should compliment your face. Square faces look good with more cubic looking frames while round faces are complimented by rounded shades. However, every one looks good in a pair of aviators. Beach glasses should be fun and less conservative then your typical day sunglasses.
Swim suits - It’s the battle between Speedos versus board shorts! In places outside of the United States, it is normal to wear Speedos. I remember my friends, in Naples, laughing at me once when I wore board shorts to the beach. They thought I was wearing regular pants. The beach is a place for sexuality to be exposed.
In America, the idea of the “banana hammock” creeps out a lot of guys. Speedos should compliment your skin. If you’re naturally tanned, go for bright colors like blue and yellow. However, black Speedos are classic! For board shorts don’t make them too long. You want to show off some skin after all.
Flip flops - Walking on hot sand is not funny. It hurts like Hell! So proper flip flops are essential. I have two pairs: Havanas with their extra gummy feeling, and a pair of bamboo slippers. The bamboo slippers look great for when I head out to a beach snack shack with some friends.
Beach towel - And no, not the ones you dry yourself with but the one you lay on. No patterns of Goofy or Budweiser; save those for tourists. Opt instead for plain colors or even my personal favorite, the bamboo print!
Beach bag - You need a bag to hide your wallet, keys, food, books, condoms and lube! 
I always bring a backpack or tote bag. They’re sporty and easy to carry! Keep your wallet and keys in a plastic zip lock bag to avoid getting it dirty or wet.
Beach shirts - The rules are the same as with swimsuits - Get colors that go with your skin tone. Wear what you like as long as it’s short sleeved and goes well with your swimsuit.
Did I miss anything?
I love buying new underwear but I never really understood the male thong. I understand woman wear them to hide panty lines. But why should a man wear one?
I totally get the erotic nature of seeing a piece of cloth disappear between two luscious mounds of onion booty but do men really wear these or is this just a novelty? Having never tried one, I just imagine it being super uncomfortable with a string up your ass all day.
Disco Valante wants to know if you think thongs are a great addition to your underwear collection or just costumes for male strippers shaking their money maker?
“You can sleep when you’re dead” is the popular saying of many busy people.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t sleep much. It’s not like I’m partying all night…which would be kinda awesome. I’m always working and trying to get the label off the ground. I’m tired all day and then at night I’m wide awake. Cruel torture!
Since I’m half way across the world I have to stay up late to talk to the US and because China is several hours ahead of me I have to be up early. My sleep cycle is truly screwed up.
Am I the only one in the land of the day zombies? Do you get enough sleep? Does anyone have any suggestions to get to sleep?
Disco Valante has a manufacturer! This was the hardest obstacle in the development of the company. Language barriers, minimum requirements, lack of craftsmanship, and over pricing of labor were some of the issues that have made my dream a nightmare at times. Being a startup company with limited financial resources isn’t an attractive partner for many manufacturers. Many do not have the want to work with a company with orders that are not gigantic. However, after many months of searching and viewing samples, Disco Valante has decided to do business with the People’s Republic of China.
Now, I’ve got to brush up on my Chinese greetings and customs, establish a Chinese LTD, get a Chinese lawyer, and set up flight and hotel arrangements for July and August. I’m really excited! The next two months will be a whirlwind of traveling, production quality control, marketing planning and overseeing every facet of the business. I’m everyone from the president to the janitor in my operation.
I can now see that my dream is truly real and going to happen. I want to thank everyone that has read my blog, sent me an email or wrote about my efforts. It has meant so much to me. Thank you!
It’s the short shorts, fellas; the short shorts! Think of the 70s and the early 80s. And in 2008, fashion itself would prove that trend has a cycle—it starts and it ends and it goes back again decades after. I know, I know most guys don’t like to show alot of skin. For all you fashion forward thinking guys out there, short shorts is what’s in.
To pull of this daring look you need two things. Toned legs and attitude! Having toned legs with nice quadriceps and an onion booty adds to the visual delight onlookers will get when you are walking. Just as a woman with very curvy legs gets attention, a man with toned masculine legs will equally attract positive stares. Lastly and most importantly, having the confident attitude is a must! You are definitely going to get your fair share of looks and if you don’t have the self esteem to rock this look you might as well stay home. I just bought a pair of short shorts with a matching blazer and everyone (guys and girls) was complimenting yours truly, Disco, on his daring wardrobe selection.
One added bonus for all those vertically challenged guys out there is that wearing shorts can lengthen your frame, giving the illusion of looking taller.
If you have a problem tracking down some really nice short shorts, the same effect can be had if you buy a similar cut short or nice pair of pants and have a tailor alter the fabric to the desired length. Also, don’t mess this look up with big clunky American styled shoes. Wear this look with a nice low profile shoe, loafer, or sandal.
I feel the hardest of part of working out isn’t the actual activity but the mental focus of going and staying concentrated once there. Occasionally, I do feel unmotivated to work out. Being sexy is mentally straining at times.
I put together a list of tips to get you pumped about going to the gym. This list is not the end all, be all but it does have some things you can do to keep yourself going to the gym long after the New Year’s crowed has quit.
Set Small Goals:
Sometimes it much easier to think of taking the next step than it is to look at climbing the entire mountain. Set small weekly goals (1 lb a week) instead of looking at what you want to accomplish a year from now.
Photos:
Pictures can be very inspirational! Regardless of what you think of those magazines, having a picture to look at is helpful in letting your mind capture an image of what you want. Once your mind has the image, you will start to take actions in life to accomplish that.
Music:
How do you think Rocky Balboa gets pumped during the training montage? It’s the kick ass tunes! Your favorite mix of high energy inducing jams is just what you need to get into the zone and feel pumped up. If you like music and it doesn’t bother you at all, then consider it for an extra boost when you don’t feel like working out. Music can easily put you into the mood.
Workout Partners:
The best motivation is somebody else with a like goal that wants to accomplish what you want as well. When you feel down and out and not really into it, this person might pull you along. When you can’t get that last rep out, they are there to give you a spot. It’s so much easier to have a training partner you can trust that motivates you. If they are a little competitive that might not hurt either. You can both use each other’s energy to push yourself.
Classes:
Many people want to workout but feel without structure, they just get lost and bored. Being in a class can really help focus in on your goals with structured objectives in mind. If you don’t like working out alone, a class might be an idea option. Especially when you don’t know where to being and you like the idea of instruction.
Personal Trainer:
A times they get a bad rap, but if you find a good one, then paying for a mentor is precisely what you need. Shelling out those hard earned dollars for a package of training sessions can really motivate you to keep going. They are also your paid training partner. They can help push you and adjust your program for progressive resistance and growth. A good personal trainer can help design you a program and nutritional plan that meets your needs. Their watchful eye on your exercise form is critical as well. Not all personal trainers are worth their weight in gold. Get a trainer that’s in shape and not some fat ass!!!
New Routines:
One of my favorite motivational techniques is to try something new. When your routine becomes boring and stagnant, there’s nothing like trying new stuff to spice it up and keep you interested. Having a new plan of action can keep you mentally fresh and your body challenged.
I hope to see you all at the gym after you finish reading my blog and sending my web address in a mass email to all your friends! Hint, hint!
Disco Valante is a clothing label featuring men’s underwear and I’m trying to appeal to all men of style and substance. However, there is a group of men I don’t think I can ever sell to…the Commandos.
Going commando, aka free ballin’, is the preferred underwear (or lack of underwear) choice for some more daring guys. I myself don’t free ball because my nuts will sweat and stick to my leg. And, I don’t need the aroma of ball sweat competing with my cologne.
Besides, I can’t control my erections! Therefore, I don’t want to seem like a pervert when at the grocery store or the bank if my “one eyed yogurt slinger” starts to get aroused.
Does anyone free ball? If so, why and how often? Or do you think it’s gross?
Disco Valante wants to impress upon its readers the importance of personal style. Personal style should exude into everything we wear, say and do.
Some of you were fortunate to have positive male figures in your lives who imparted practical words of wisdom to help you through life. I think it is so important for men to have mentors. I don’t care if you are 45. A 65 year old man may have a nugget of knowledge that could benefit you personally, professionally, and/or financially.
I saw this list on another blog. This list is from an older gentleman who posted his list on Craigs’s List. I am by no means advocating everything that is said below. So read this with a grain of salt and take from it what does or does not appeal to you.
++ Date:2007-02-15, 9:08AM PST — Advice to Young Men from an Old Man ++
1. Don’t pick on the weak. It’s immoral. Don’t antagonize the strong without cause, its stupid.
2. Don’t hate people. It’s a waste of time
3. Invest in yourself. Material things come to those that have self actualized.
4. Get in a fistfight, even if you are going to lose.
5. As a former Marine, take it from me. Don’t join the military, unless you want to risk getting your balls blown off to secure other people’s economic or political interests.
6. If something has a direct benefit to an individual or a class of people, and a theoretical, abstract, or amorphous benefit to everybody else, realize that the proponent’s intentions are to benefit the former, not the latter, no matter what bullshit they try to feed you.
7. Don’t take proffered advice without a critical analysis. 90% of all advice is intended to benefit the proponent, not the recipient. Actually, the number is probably closer to 97%, but I don’t want to come off as cynical.
8. You’ll spend your entire life listening to people tell you how much you owe them. You don’t owe the vast majority of people shit.
9. Don’t undermine your fellow young men. Mentor the young men that come after you. Society recognizes that you have the potential to be the most power force in society. It scares them. Society does not find young men sympathetic. They are afraid of you, both individually and collectively. Law enforcement’s primary purpose is to suppress you.
10. As a young man, you’re on your own. Society divides and conquers. Unlike women who have advocates looking out for them (NOW, Women’s Study Departments, government, non-profit organizations, political advocacy groups) almost no one is looking out for you.
11. Young men provide the genius and muscle by which our society thrives. Look at the Silicone Valley. By in large, it was not old men or women that created the revolution we live. Realize that society steals your contributions, secures it with our intellectual property laws, and then takes credit and the rewards where none is due.
12. Know that few people have your best interests at heart. Your mother does. Your father probably does (if he stuck around). Your siblings are on your side. Everybody else worries about themselves.
13. Don’t be afraid to tell people to “fuck off” when need be. It is an important skill to acquire. As they say, speak your piece, even if your voice shakes.
14. Acquire empathy, good interpersonal skills, and confidence. Learn to read body language and non-verbal communication. Don’t just concentrate on your vocational or technical skills, or you’ll find your wife fucking somebody else.
15. Keep fit.
I know a large number, if not all, of my readers are gay. So, I’m sure for the following advice on relationships you can change the gender.
16. Don’t speak ill of your wife/girlfriend. Back her up against the world, even if she is wrong. She should know that you have her back. When she needs your help, give it. She should know that you’ll take her part.
17. Don’t cheat on your wife/girlfriend. If you must cheat, don’t humiliate her. Don’t risk having your transgressions come back to her or her friends. Don’t do it where you live. Don’t do it with people in your social circle. Don’t shit in your own back yard.
18. If your girlfriend doesn’t make you feel good about yourself and bring joy to your life, fire her. That’s what girlfriends are for.
19. Don’t bother with “emotional affairs”. They are just a vehicle for women to flirt and have someone make them feel good about themselves. That’s the part of a relationship they want. For you it is a lot of work and investment in time. If they are having an emotional affair with you, they’re probably fucking someone else.
20. Becoming a woman’s friend and confidant is not going to get you into an intimate relationship. If you haven’t gotten the girl within a reasonably short period of time, chances are you won’t ever get her. She’ll end up confiding to you about the sexual adventures she’s having with someone else.
21. Have and nurture friendships.
22. Realize that love is a numbers game. Guys fall in love easily. You’re going to see some girl and feel like you’ll die if you don’t get her. If she rejects you, move on to the next one. It’s her loss.
23. Don’t be an internet troll. Got out and live life.
24. When you become a man in full, know that people will get in your way.
25. Don’t gay bash. Don’t mentally or physically abuse people because of who they are, or how they present themselves. It’s none of your business to try to intimidate people into conformity.
26. If your gay, admit it to yourself, your parents, your friends and society at large. Be prepared to get harassed. See rule 13. If someone threatens you or assaults you, call the cops. Have them arrested. You have no obligation to self sacrifice because of who you are.
27. Don’t be a poser. Avoid being one of those dudes who puts a surfboard on top of their car, but never surfs, or a dude with a powder coated fixed gear bike and a messenger bag, but was never a messenger. Live the life. Earn your bonafides.
28. Remember, 97% of all advice is worthless. Take what you can use, and trash the rest.
Let me know if you think any of this has helped you or changed your perspective.
The definition of an onion booty is an ass that looks so good it makes you want to cry. By a show of hands, who doesn’t want an onion booty? Just as I predicted, everyone wants a plump, round ass. Flat butts aren’t flattering when attempting to fill out a pair of underwear, a bikini, or a pair of jeans. Therefore, your friend, Disco Valante, wants to help you achieve a meaty backside. Today’s exercise tutorial will be the squat. Squats must be performed if you want to build large, powerful legs and buttocks.
Weight lifting exercise position
1. Take a barbell from a squat rack and hold it at the back of your neck with your hands on the bar. Keep you back and head straight. Your feet should be spaced at shoulder width. If you cannot squat flat footed, try placing a two by four block of wood under your heel to improve balance.
2. Grasp the bar with your hands spaced slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
3. The bar should be resting comfortably across your trapezius muscle.
Execution

Despite being the coolest guy you know, I’m going to admit I have this nasty little problem. One of my best friends, Carlos, constantly gives me grief over this. Yellow stains on the underarms of your shirts isn’t just ugly, but it can contribute to the demise of plenty of nice, white summery shirts.
While staining does have to do with sweating, you can get your shirts white and clean with a few treatments and a little bit of elbow grease.
Treating
There are plenty of ways to remove underarm stains, but the problem is that you want to choose the right way to clean your shirts. There’s no trial and error with your designer white cotton shirts, so read on for tested methods that will definitely get your shirts clean.
Try a solution of one part water to four parts laundry detergent. You can spray it over the underarms of your white shirt (inside out, of course), and then allow it to sit for an hour or so. Afterwards, use a spare soft toothbrush or scrub brush to brush the underarms of your shirt gently. Rinse your shirt clean with cool water. Next, soak your white shirt overnight in a bucket of cold water and a few tablespoons of laundry detergent. Your shirt will be ready to wash in the morning.
Warning: These instructions only work with washable white shirts. Everything else must be brought to the cleaners, unless you want your favorite shirt ruined further. . . probably not.
Washing
Wash your shirt as soon as possible. If you let your shirt hang around, it won’t respond as well to washing as a freshly soiled shirt will. Using laundry detergent specially formulated for whites, add the amount recommended on the bottle or box to your washing machine. Wash your whites in hot water.
Consider adding the following products to make your whites even brighter (no, they’re not complicated):
• Use a ½ cup of lemon juice in the rinse cycle of your laundry. This method will work best when the laundry is hung out on the line to dry afterward.
• Add a half cup of vinegar to your rinse cycle wash if you have very hard water (high mineral content).
• Add a ½ cup of washing soda or borax to your laundry to get your whites perfectly, blindingly white. This is only good for water that isn’t hard.
Tip: Consider using commercial stain removers like OxyClean during the wash cycle for extra whiteness.
Drying
If at all possible, dry your white shirts in the sun. This can help to “draw out” stains, and make your white shirt look even whiter than it did after you washed it. If you can’t dry your shirt outside, try air drying indoors instead.
Avoid drying your shirt in the dryer. Heat can set residual stains and will not help you get the whitest shirt possible.
Tips:
• Wearing undershirt (preferably v-neck) whenever possible is a nice idea to save your shirts from staining.
• Storing whites in the dark can actually cause yellowing, so find a light, bright shelf to keep natural fiber white shirts.
I ran across this and had to share this with everyone. Someone put Shia Labeouf’s underwear on eBay. Now that’s desperate! You have to be pretty hard up for cash…$400 exactly. Here’s what the seller wrote:
WIN SCREEN WORN SHIA UNDERWEAR!
PLEASE NOTE: COSTUME IS “AS IS” WHICH INCLUDES MAKEUP STAINS, DIRT; ETC! (Again, these items was worn and used for filming by Shia)
This costume was worn by Shia in the film, “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints”.
You receive, a pair of grey sweatpants, a pair of white breifs and ankle socks. Each items is tagged “YD” (meaning: the character Young Dito as played by Shia in the film)!
This item comes with a letter of authenticity from First Look Media and an explanation of it’s donation to Actor’s Equity! It is noted by First Look that this item is “one of a kind” …and indeed it is!
If anyone actually finds out who wins the bid, let us know.
I usually don’t buy white underwear. I like more charisma in my undergarments. Perhaps all those years as a kid and wearing Fruit of the Loom has turned me off the white colored underwear.
Since Disco Valante Clothing is prepping for the fall launch, I want to know if you find white underwear simple yet sexy or just plain BLAH.
Confidence in one’s self is the most important part of being a man. Blazing your own unique path can be met with the scrutiny of others. Doubt is a challenging hurdle when trying to succeed.
As a freshmen in college, I read The Man in the Arena, a speech given by US President Teddy Roosevelt at the Sorbonne in Paris, France on April 23, 1910.
Hopefully these inspirational words will keep your focus sharp and constant.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
There is no shame in failing. Only shame in never having the courage to try and laughing at others who do. Pretty deep for a men’s underwear company.
Disco Valante Clothing is not only about men’s underwear and T’s. It’s about creating stylish men on different levels. Today’s topic of style is on letter writing.
In this day and age, cyber technology has killed the art of letter writing. “Why would anyone write a letter since email is instantaneous?”, you ask. Letters show consideration. The thoughtfulness of putting pen to paper and placing an envelope in snail mail is a forgotten task. Occasionally write a letter to someone you care about and, believe me, the receiver of your correspondence will greatly appreciate your effort.
Additionally, personal stationary is a must for any professional and/or man of style. A quick note of thank you or admiration to another professional that sports your personal letterhead will carry an air of sophistication. And don’t worry, personal stationary can be very affordable even when purchased at boutique stationary stores.

Women have many options to cover up their dark circles and fatigued eyes, but men have a lot more trouble correcting “tired face.” It’s not as easy for a man to camouflage dark circles and puffiness, but there are some ways for men to accomplish it too.
Banish Puffiness
Fluid retention is the cause of puffy eyes and is an even bigger problem for those with sinus difficulties or allergies.
• When you get up in the morning and you’re faced with tired face, try the “tap method.” Try lightly tapping the lower orbital of your eyes with your ring finger from the inner to outer corner.
• Try a cold compress on your eyes for 5 to 10 minutes. You can wet a clean washcloth with cold water and hold it over your eyes. You can also wear a cooling mask that you can purchase from any drugstore.
• Smooth on an eye cream that soothes and brightens.
Get Rid of Redness
Before you head for the over-the-counter eye drops, try natural ones. Natural eye drops will calm your eyes using a sterile saline solution without chemicals. Instead of getting your eyes dependent on additives and chemicals, natural drops protect your eyes. Look for Visine Tears Natural Formula or Similasan Natural Eye Drops.
Soothe Tired Eyes with Home Remedies
If you’re fresh out of product but you have some stuff around the house, you can cure your tired face fast. Get a cool strawberry or cucumber and slice it in 1/8 of an inch thick. Your eyes will look clear and less puffy after you place a slice on each eye for around 10 minutes, and you can just continue with your regular face cleansing routine afterwards.
Looking for something even easier? Try a milk soother. All you need to do is soak a couple of large cotton balls in cold milk, and then place one cotton ball on each eye. After 10 or 15 minutes of relaxation, you can continue with your cleansing routine. Who needs touch-ups when you can get rid of your tired face in under a quarter of an hour?
Additional Tips
• Drink water! You’ve heard it before, but it will clean out your system and prevent puffy eyes from recurring.
• Store your face creams in the refrigerator. Cold facial products will reduce swelling in your face and instantly calm the tired face effect. Don’t forget to check the label for more information about product storage.
