			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wanted to watch a movie pretty badly only to have the whole experience ruined by a friend who kept asking, “What did she say?”, “what was that?” and “can you please pass the popcorn?” Since childhood, we have been fed with a dull notion that you should always go to a movie hall in a group. People say its much more fun watching movies with friends, why is that?<span id="more-412"></span></p>
<p><strong>What is the point?</strong></p>
<p>Let us look at the different cons of going to the movies with your friends.</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Choice of movies</strong>: If the group consists of more than three people and if there are more than four, a movie playing in the theater it is most likely that you won’t be able to watch your favorite movie. No matter how close you are with your friends, sometimes their choice of movies might not match with yours and you will end up watching movies that you do not really like.</li>
<li><strong>Being late</strong>: picture this, you have finally convinced all your friends to go watch that movie with you, but they arrive late for the show and you miss a good ten minutes in the beginning.  It is highly unusual that all of your friends will arrive for the show on time and if one of them gets late, the whole group will suffer.</li>
<li><strong>Talking</strong>: If you are unlucky, enough you will have to seat beside the friend with the loudest mouth. If you really want to watch your movie sin peace then the last thing you will want is someone passing lurid comments and asking stupid questions within your earshot. If you are really interested in watching the movie you might end up catching an important part of the plot because of your friend’s blabbering.</li>
<li><strong>Movie halls are for watching movies</strong>: if you want to catch up with your long last friends, why not meet them at a coffee shop or at a bar for some drinks and a round of pool. Movie halls are not great places for having a decent conversation; in effect, you will be ruining the entire experience for yourself and people sitting next to you.</li>
<li><strong>Your friends are busy</strong>: it is highly unlikely that all your friends are available 24&#215;7 to go to the movies with you. So, what do you do if you suddenly feel like watching a movie? Do you call up all your friends and wait for them to get back to your with a positive reply? The answer is a big no, go ahead and grab your soda and nachos get plush seat and enjoy the movie.</li>
<li><strong>Reason</strong>: there is a reason why the lights are turned off during the screening; it is so that nothing else distracts you while the movie is playing. So why would you want to get distracted by going to the movies with your friends anyway?</li>
</ul>
<p>There is nothing shameful about going to a movie alone, every man needs his space in the movie theater so do not cringe, go ahead and have some fun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Isn’t it strange when we don’t like something but we tell it to everyone? But when we love someone we get scared to tell or approach to that person. There are a lot people who really get confused when it comes to propose somebody they love. They can’t decide which way to go to hear a YES from their love.<span id="more-388"></span></p>
<p>Girls are the most beautiful creation of the Almighty in this world ever. When a girl loves someone, she can love the person like anything and when she starts hating a person, she can go to the extreme condition. As solid and patient as our earth, girls can be a protector, a healer a creator and even turn to be a destroyer. Proposing a girl may look difficult but not impossible. So, if you are sailing in a boat unaware of the way to move, then knowing some essential tips will help you in this regard.</p>
<p>As every individual is different from each other, so their liking and disliking will also differ. It’s not necessary that every girl will like one typical way of proposing. In order to propose your girl which makes her feel happy and for getting a YES, you have to do a little home work. First try to understand what kind of nature she has, what she likes and what she doesn’t like, whether she is shy or introvert, whether she is adventurous or get scared of things easily. It will help you choose the best way to propose her that will make her feel special.</p>
<p>Though not every girl has same kind of likings, but flowers are favorites of all girls. If your girl is introvert and shy in nature, then proposing her where you are alone in some beautiful place would be a great decision. But if she is adventurous and fun loving then, taking her to a place where she enjoys the most and speaking out your heart will be a good way.</p>
<p>Moreover, gesture plays an important role in proposing a girl that comes into notice very soon. While she is around you, show your gentle, protective and emotional dependence nature and mean it too. Girls fall in love with guys who have these qualities and there will be no place for rejection when you will propose her.</p>
<p>Girls always want a guy in their life who accepts them the way they are and in fact appreciate them for being like that. Instead of being diplomatic tell her what you like about her and what makes you fall in love with her only. Girls are very soft hearted and emotional, they look for love and care from their man. You can take your girl to the place where you have first met with each other, as these places have a special moment attached to it that will give less chance to her for refusing your proposal. One more thing, never force your girl to say YES, as it may turn the whole process into an ugly one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There were times when women only used to go on dates with men who were selected by their parents. With changing times, girls started going out with men referred by her friends, relatives and family. Of course courtship after meeting a man in college, school or any other place has always been there. Blind dates culture also started off and people simply loved it. Online dating has been there for a long time now and with each passing day it is getting better and better. Many people talk about dating rules for men and hardly anyone who talks about dating rules for women. Let us have a look at some of the online dating rules for women:</p>
<p>1.Do not initiate any conversation online from your end. Let the guy approach you. Often girls or women who approach guys online are considered to be available and are not taken seriously.</p>
<p>2.There can be many situations in which you might not like the attitude or character of a certain person online in the chat room. Block him immediately. There is no need to entertain unwanted people.</p>
<p>3.In case there is an option to post a photograph then opt for the best picture you have of yourself. Never post a celebrity’s picture. It does not look nice.</p>
<p>4.In case there is any guy interested in you and approaches you through instant message or email then there is no need to reply immediately. Again try and show that you are not waiting for some guy.</p>
<p>5.In case you are interested in a guy who has approached you via e mail then do not reply immediately. Wait for at least two days before replying to that mail. If he is really interested in you, he will wait for your reply.</p>
<p>6.It is highly advisable not to share your real demographic details, name, telephone numbers in first go.</p>
<p>7.Keep a separate e mail address for such things. Never use your original personal e mail id for online dating.</p>
<p>8.Never lie about anything related to your appearance, size or locality. It is better to avoid subjects which you do not want to discuss rather than lying about them. You never know if your conversation gets to the next level.</p>
<p>9.Everything should be slow and gradual in case of online dating. Do not jump to the conclusions about a guy you met in a chat room. Take your own time before you decide to meet him in person.</p>
<p>Online dating is pretty popular amongst all segments of ages across globe. There are positive side to it and negative as well. It is always better to take prevention rather than cure. So, be cautious while you flirt with men online. Disclosing a lot of information to an unknown man can be dangerous hence it should always be kept in mind that the online dating process is very slow ad needs to be treated in a slow manner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, are you just out of college and got a new job? Many youngsters are taking up jobs without post graduation studies and most of the time they find themselves in a strange environment known as corporate. Well, the first question is “how to dress up for your office?” Your dressing sense can lead to a lot of perceptions in the minds of your co workers. In case, you do not want to lead to any wrong perceptions it is essential to dress up in the right manner. Now, the next question is, “does your job requires to wear a uniform?” If the answer is yes then there is no point for any further discussion. However if the answer is no then again we find ourselves in square one.</p>
<p>The dressing sense depends on the kind of company or office you are working for. In case you have got a job in bank or any other financial institution then wearing a black or a blue suit is most appropriate. There are many organizations and companies that allow semi casual or casual attire at work as well. This makes the situation worse because there are lots of clothes that are casual however you still cannot decide whether you can wear them to your office or not. In such situations it is always better to play safe in such a manner that you do not become wrong center of attraction and at the same time you are able to gel up existing staff. No matter what you wear, the clothes should be clean and well ironed.</p>
<p>Apart from that even of the clothing allowed at office is casual, the clothes and shoes should not be too flashy. After all, you are going for work and not for party. One should keep hair clean and settled. If you are a female, then of course you should do make up however it should look at any point of time something gaudy. It should be subtle and sweet. Apart from that, jazzy outfits, jewelry and hair styles should be avoided in office. In case one has to appear for some sort of meeting or conference, then one should always dress up in the best possible professional manner. While choosing a professional dress for meetings never think dark colors. O f course, black and blue are an exception. They are considered to be professional colors and can be worn on any occasion or meeting in office.</p>
<p>People who have a uniform in office should also always keep in mind that their uniform should be clean and well ironed. At all times, the uniform should be kept very clean. One should keep couple of sets of the uniform so that they can be used without repeating. These are few basics one should keep in mind while dressing up for office. Good dressing leaves a long lasting impression on your co workers and bosses. So, try and look professional all the times in office.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Relationship can be kept exciting all the time when some things are taken care. For instance, removing the concept of “routine” from life.</p>
<p>It should be understood that routine is the no. 1 enemy of a relationship. Once a relationship is formed, it does not take longer for it to get lazy. Once the aspect of laziness enters into a relationship, it should be understood that it has began crumbling. If you have a girlfriend and wish to maintain a long term relationship with her, it is important that you keep that relationship exciting. One should avoid the ruts formed in this process of relationship at any cost.<span id="more-315"></span></p>
<p>Fatigue is another enemy in any relationship. It is the biggest enemy in any relationship. It is not difficult to see many women cheating their men thus rendering a full stop to their relationship. If a fatigue enters a relationship, boyfriends no more interest them and that would drag them to look out for newer avenues. Here are a few tips to avoid the ruts in any relationship and maintain it for a longer time.</p>
<p><strong>Gifting better than before</strong><img class="size-full wp-image-316 alignright" style="margin: 20px;" title="How to Keep Your Relationship Exciting " src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Keep-Your-Relationship-Exciting.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="304" /></p>
<p>This can seem to be simple tip, but quite powerful to make a relationship more exciting and surviving. It is not advisable to buy the same gifts always thus developing a rut in the relationship. Try gifting out different items each and every year. Make it a point to gift her something exciting on her birthday or your anniversary. This would make her understand your love and care for her. It also brings out your imaginative side which can be well appreciated by your partner. So always try to put your brains in selecting the gift for the occasion. It is always good to pick up certain thing that she might have mentioned in casual talks. That may be presented as a gift which would excite her.</p>
<p><strong>Workout and stay together</strong></p>
<p>It is quite common to see that after spending quite larger amount of time together, the attraction between the couple starts diminishing. This also occurs when two of you start getting comfortable in the relationship thus paving way for laziness and getting the bodies go a little bit.</p>
<p>To keep a relationship exciting, one needs to combat this laziness and try to work out together which is indeed a great way to have a successful and long lasting relationship. This also increases the good will amongst one another and also increases the love for one another.</p>
<p><strong>Make up your home</strong></p>
<p>Decorating a home often is really a great way to add spice to a relationship. This would remove any kind of familiarity and laziness in house and paves way for new ideas as well. this also keeps a relationship fresh. Taking up a home decorating work together would also induce momentum in the relationship. This also removes any stagnancy and complacency surrounding you. This act of decorating and redecorating would induce mutual respect for each other and also makes a house looks good and different from earlier look. This is one of making home look better and removing obstacles in a relationship.</p>
<p><strong>Outing to romantic locations</strong></p>
<p>This is a simple and one of the best solutions to make the relationship floating. Getting away to a romantic getaway would spice up the relationship. The day to day chores can be poisonous in a relationship which can be killed with this activity. Leaving routine work and home for some days and getting away is a good idea. It does not require much effort to find a good place to get away for a weekend. Planning together for this activity or surprising your partner with a planned itinerary is a good way of strengthening the relationship. This not only recharges you but also the relationship as a whole. The fact that it removes the routines in life is sure to recharge the relationship and keep it floating forever. It should be seen that one should not take up the same get away each and every time they plan for it just to avoid any familiarity with that place. Have different choices at different times of planning to spice up the relationship.</p>
<p><strong>Develop new hobby</strong></p>
<p>Mutual improvement is the concept to strengthen a relationship. You can enable women to understand how she can become the best possible lady in your viewpoint and vice versa. Women wish to make partners with men who introduce them to newer things and ways of improving their ideas and talents. You can very show her up what kind of man you could be by taking up newer hobbies with her. Newer hobbies could be anything from a karate class to cooking as well. Taking up a new hobby is another way of boosting up a relationship and keeping it exciting.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mall.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-178" title="mall" src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mall-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>It&#8217;s every man&#8217;s nightmare&#8230;your woman wants to go to the mall and she wants to take you with her.  Your heart starts to pound in your chest, your palms start to sweat and you feel as if your head is spinning.  What can you do?  If you refuse to go with her, you will be sleeping on the couch for the next week.  On the other hand, if you do go with her and you say or do the wrong thing, you may end up on the couch anyway.  So, how can you survive a trip to the mall without getting yourself in trouble and without driving yourself insane with boredom?  By following these 5 steps to surviving the mall, you may actually find yourself enjoying a trip to the mall &#8211; and you may even get a little action out of it when all is said and done.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Step #1:  Make Agreeing Simple</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In order to make your experience as positive as possible, don&#8217;t allow her to see the disgust on your face when she invites you along to the mall.  If she catches even a hint that you don&#8217;t want to go or that you find going to the mall to be a chore, you will instantly be in the doghouse.  So, when the invite comes out of her mouth, smile and tell her that you would love to spend the afternoon with her by shopping at the mall.  Let&#8217;s face it, you have told bigger lies in the past so you could get a woman in the sack, so this one shouldn&#8217;t be too hard to pull off.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Step #2:  Scope it Out</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you aren&#8217;t familiar with the mall, you will need to perform a basic recon of the layout once you arrive.  Most malls have a &#8220;You are Here&#8221; map that will tell you where you currently are and where all of the stores are located throughout the mall.  Make a mental note of where the stores you are interested in are located while you &#8220;help&#8221; her find the stores she wants to go to.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/couple-shopping.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-180 alignright" title="couple-shopping" src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/couple-shopping-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Step #3:  Walk Her to Her Stores</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If she doesn&#8217;t know where her favorite stores are located, do the gentlemanly thing and help her find the stores.  Even if she does know where they are at, walk her to the store and let her tell you all about the latest fashion trends and the style of clothing she is hoping to find at the store.  Don&#8217;t worry, you aren&#8217;t expected to actually know anything about these clothes or brands.  Just nod your head and smile while making it look as if you are actually interested.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Step #4:  Make the Break</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Making the break is the second most critical step in the 5-step plan.  Once you get her to the store she is interested in, tell her that you want to give her some time to look through the clothes on her own.  Therefore, you are going to go spend some time at the electronics store or whatever other store is of interest to you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To make the break smoothly, you need to be certain to lay it on thick.  Tell her you want her to find something special for you that she can share with you later, so you don&#8217;t want to ruin the surprise by watching her try on various outfits.  You might even want to promise to take her out to a nice dinner after she finds the &#8220;perfect outfit.&#8221; This way, she won&#8217;t think that you are trying to get out of shopping with her, but that you find her to be so irresistibly sexy that you want her to buy something special just for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now, refer back to Step #2 and locate a nearby store that you are interested in going to.  The closer your store is to her store, the easier it will be for you to hook back up when she is done shopping.  If she has to walk all the way across the mall to find you, she might get lost or simply get pissed at you for going so far away.  If your store is just across the hall or just a few doors down, on the other hand, completing the break away will be much easier.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Step #5:  Close the Deal</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">After she has finally purchased her new items, make sure to ask her to try the clothes on for you once you get home.  This may not sound like a whole lot of fun for you, but watching her try on 5 new outfits that she just purchased is far better than watching her try on hundreds of outfits at the mall.  Besides, while she&#8217;s <a href="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/man-mall1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-179 alignright" title="man-mall1" src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/man-mall1-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a>taking off one outfit in order to try on another, you might be able to take advantage of that nudity in order to get a little action.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It is important to note that you may have to repeat steps 3 and 4 several times during one mall trip, as she will probably have more than one store that she wants to visit.  So, when doing your recon, find as many stores as possible that you might want to go to.  You should also scope out where the food court is located or where other snack vendors can be found throughout the mall.  That way, if there are no stores nearby for you to go to, you can at least grab something to eat and you sit outside her store while you wait.  More than likely, you will find plenty of other guys out there who are suffering the same fate as  you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/economy.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-185" title="economy" src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/economy-300x177.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="177" /></a>Does the state of the economy have you feeling a bit down?  If so, you aren&#8217;t the only one.  Thousands of people have lost their jobs around the country and countless people have lost their homes.  Despite the world&#8217;s current economic troubles, however, it is possible for you to come out of it smelling like a rose if you play your cards right.  Here are a few things you might want to consider doing while the economy is on a downswing.</p>
<h3>Head Back to School</h3>
<p>If you are one of the guys who lost his job because of the economy, stop sitting around on your couch and feeling sorry for yourself.  Chances are pretty good that you aren&#8217;t going to find another job to replace the one you lost, so now might be the perfect time for you to head back to school.  Think about it.  You can either stay at home and cry about having no money, or you can use your time to head back to school and get a college degree or extra certification in your field. This might even be the perfect time for you to switch gears and pursue a new career path.  That way, when employment opportunities start opening up again, you will have something extra to help you stand out from the other guys.</p>
<h3>Start Your Own Business</h3>
<p>Now is a good time to start laying the groundwork for a new business.  To do it right, it is going to take you a few months to come up with a business plan and to study your target market.  By the time you are ready to launch your business, the economy should be on its way toward recovery.  Who knows?  If you do a good job researching business ideas and developing a plan, you may never have to head back to work for someone else again.</p>
<h3>Make Some Investments</h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>During these difficult economic times, many people are pulling their money out of their 401k portfolios and other investments.  That&#8217;s a mistake.  Now is the time to make some smart investments.  Think about it.  Stocks are cheap right now, which means you can pick up solid stock investments for cheap.  Once the economy rebounds, you can easily double or triple your investment.  Just make certain to invest in companies that are almost guaranteed to make it through the economic downswing.  While there are no guarantees, investing in companies that provide necessities such as food or toiletries are often good companies to invest in.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/investment.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-186 alignright" title="investment" src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/investment-300x156.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="156" /></a></p>
<h3>Buy a House</h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>If you have a good credit rating, there is no better time than now to buy a house.  Although some housing markets are still going strong, most of them are struggling.  As a result, sellers are slashing the prices on their homes significantly.  Not only that, people who are struggling with making their house payments are willing to make good deals in order to unload the property before having to file bankruptcy.  In addition to the low prices, interest rates are extremely low right now.  So, if you buy a house now, you could potentially save yourself tens of thousands of dollars.</p>
<h3>Become a Landlord</h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>With housing prices being so low and interest rates being so attractive, you might want to consider investing in a few properties and becoming a landlord.  There are many people out there who are looking for new housing options.  So, if you purchase a few inexpensive homes and put them up for rent, you are likely to get tenants rather quickly.  Even better, if you decide you don&#8217;t want to continue being a landlord for years to come, you can sell the homes when the economy turns around and make an attractive profit on your investment.</p>
<h3>Make a Move</h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Have you been thinking about moving to another part of the country, but you couldn&#8217;t quite work up the guts to do it?  If you lost your job and if you don&#8217;t own your home, now is a good time to reach down into your pants, gather your balls and make a move.  If you lost your job and don&#8217;t own a home, you probably don&#8217;t have a whole lot holding you down to where you are currently living.  So, now may be the time for you to finally make that move you have been considering making.  If you were smart and planned ahead, you should have plenty of money available to make the move and find a new place to live.</p>
<h3>Buy a Car</h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>If you have the cash, now is the time to purchase a car if you need one or to purchase that dream car you have always wanted.  The car companies are desperate to complete some sales, which means they are offering some fantastic deals on cars.  Not only that, prices on other motorized vehicles such as boats, RVs, and ATVs are also looking pretty good for those who have the resources available to buy them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/car.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-187 alignright" title="car" src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/car-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Sure, the state of the economy has made things rough on all of us.  But, it is possible for you to make something good come of it if you make a few wise choices.  So, quit sitting around feeling sorry for yourself and make some changes so you can keep moving forward in your life and look at this setback as an opportunity for taking your life in a new direction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tat2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-106 alignright" title="tat2" src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tat2.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="160" /></a>Have you been thinking about getting a tattoo?  For many guys, getting a tattoo serves as a right of passage and announces to the world that you aren&#8217;t a girlie-man because you can take the pain.  But, before you start slapping some ink on your skin, there are a few rules of thumb you should keep in mind about getting a tattoo.  After all, while a tattoo symbolizes your spontaneity and your willingness to be tortured by a hot needle for a good half hour or longer, you don&#8217;t want to end up with ink that you will regret.  So, keep these dos and don&#8217;ts in mind when planning your tat.<span id="more-105"></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Do:  Give Some Thought to Where You Will Put the Tat</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Unless you have plans to join a circus or to become a tattoo artist yourself, you will certainly want to stay away from putting a tat on your face.  You might also want to reconsider the idea of getting inked on your lower arm, as your boss in the corporate world may not appreciate your tattoo of a naked woman that dances every time you flex your forearm.  Sure, you may not be wearing a suit every day now, but if a white collar job is in your foreseeable future, keep the tats in an area that can be easily covered up when you head to work.  Or, plan to move to a cold climate where you will be comfortable wearing long sleeves every day.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Don&#8217;t: Put a Name on Your Skin</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, you just met some hottie and you think it will increase your chances of getting some action if you get a tat of her name on your back, do you?  Think again, mister.  Sure, it may help open the door to a wild night of hot, sticky sex, but at what cost?  Do you really want to see &#8220;Betsy&#8221; on your back every time you look at it in the mirror?  I think not.  Even if you have been with some woman for years, getting her name tattooed somewhere on your body is a mistake.  If you want to get a special tattoo in honor of your lady love (or for the lady of the hour), let her help you pick it out.  Or, if she is game for getting inked, consider getting matching tats or tattoos with the same theme.  That way, you can still be the romantic schlub she wants you to be without having a permanent reminder of her if things go bad (and, let&#8217;s face it, with your skills with the ladies, things are bound to go bad eventually, right?).</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Do:  Spend Extra on a Quality Tattoo</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">OK, you big cheapskate, if you are wanting a tat but you are limited by your budget, choose to get a smaller design rather than going to a cheaper tattoo parlor.  The reality is that you should expect to pay more for a quality tattoo, so don&#8217;t cheap out and get a tat made with low-quality ink or by some guy that doesn&#8217;t really know what he is doing.  Some guys get their tattoos at &#8220;tattoo parties,&#8221; which usually amounts to nothing more than some guy giving out tattoos after buying a kit off eBay.  Not only is this potentially unsanitary, you are likely to end up with a tattoo that looks like those temporary tats you used to get out of the gumball machine.  You now, the ones with blurry edges and colors that were blending together, remember those?  Sure, it may have been cool when you were eight, but you aren&#8217;t going to impress anyone with one of those tats now that you are adult.  Grown ups get grown up tattoos.  Remember that.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tat1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-107 alignright" title="tat1" src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tat1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Don&#8217;t:  Get a Tattoo When You are Drunk</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A reputable tattoo parlor won&#8217;t even let you get inked if you are three sheets to the wind.  So, the simple fact that the tattoo artist is willing to give you a tattoo when you are shitfaced should send off some red alarms.  Of course, when you are drunk, you probably won&#8217;t be thinking quite so logically, now will you?  If you need to get drunk to &#8220;loosen yourself up&#8221; or to help dull the pain of the tattoo, you are obviously too much of a wussie and shouldn&#8217;t be getting a tattoo anyway.  Grow some hair on your balls and try again, princess, and make sure you are sober when you get your tattoo.  That way, you won&#8217;t have to explain your decision to get a picture Smurfette on your inner thigh for the rest of your life.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Do:  Have an Idea of What You Want Ahead of Time</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you hit the tattoo parlor, you should have hundreds of different tattoos available to choose from.  A good tattoo artist, however, will be able to draw something up for you or will be able to take a picture you bring in and make it into a tattoo.  If you have an idea of what you are looking for before you go in, you can speed up the process and increase your chances of getting a great tat by talking your ideas over with the tattoo artist.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Don&#8217;t:  Pick the Scabs Afterward</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tat3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-108 alignright" title="tat3" src="http://www.menfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tat3-300x264.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="264" /></a>After you get your tattoo, it is going to scab up and peal.  Resist the temptation to help the process along by picking at the scabs or loose skin.  Plucking off the scabs and skin too early can actually pull out the ink and leave you with spotty tattoo.  Getting a tattoo is also one of the rare occasions where it is considered manly to slather your skin with lotion, so be sure to keep those scabs well moisturized so you can help the healing process along.  Besides, it can help you get a little action when you ask that hottie you are trying to impress to slather your tat with lotion for you.  After all, you can&#8217;t possibly reach that tat on your back yourself, now can you?</p>
