This Is What Happened When a Guy Tried Wearing Men's Pantyhose for a Week

$

Calling all gentlemen who have been dying to wear pantyhose, but have been afraid of being ridiculed for wanting to wear garments usually reserved for women ...

Now that we have the attention of the three of you out there, your prayers have been answered.

Although nothing new, Mantyhose - that is, pantyhose designed specifically for men - are becoming more and more common, especially in Europe. In order to see what the buzz of these skintight leggings for men was all about, The Daily Beast's Jacob Tomsky (not pictured) decided to sport them for a week and report back on his experience.

The entire story can be found here, but here are just a few of the highlights from a normal dude spending a good amount of time in some hosiery:

In regards to getting into the Mantyhose:

You should probably lotion up.

How random females at a bar responded when the Mantyhose were brought to their attention:

"Darling, do not sleep in them. They will suffocate your feet, and you'll wake up in a terror."

"I think that's sexy. If I took a guy home, and he was wearing women's pantyhose, I would make him do some crazy shit in them."

And how a woman on a date with the Mantyhose man felt about her suitor's fashion decision:

Later, when they are fully displayed, she says something that is very easy to interpret.

"Seriously, take those goddam things off."


The final verdict, after Tomsky played drums in them, wore them to a professional event, tried to sleep in them, and couldn't figure out how in the world to wash them, was that Mantyhose are simply a terrible idea.

Going Out to Eat Before/After the Internet

going out to eat before after the Internet

The Internet is supposed to make our lives easier. From connecting us with everyone on the planet to looking up the answer to almost any question, there's really nothing the Internet can't do.

So, why, then, did life seem simpler before the Internet? Little things like making plans to go out to eat before the Internet arrived seemed simple. You call your friends, you go somewhere, you laugh, then you go home. No one had to have the greatest meal of their life. You just went to the restaurant you always went to, or you tried the new restaurant, and that was that. If it was good, it was good. If it was bad, oh well.

Now, every meal-based decision needs to be planned and analyzed to the tenth degree. You can't just go out and eat some food. You have to make sure you're having the right food. The restaurant has to be researched and cross-referenced and hyped up to the point that no meal can live up to. And that's not even getting into the social media hyper-focus that's dominated every single second of our lives.

In order to drive the point home as to how our lives pre- and post-Internet have changed, we put together this helpful graphic. Enjoy.

Listen to a Really Awesome Heckler Scream "KEVIN! KEVIN! KEVIN!" at Kevin Garnett

You know, sometimes in sports, it's the simplest heckles that work the best. This is definitely one of those cases. You can't tell me Kevin Garnett wasn't getting annoyed by this throaty Lakers fan screaming "KEVIN! KEVIN! KEVIN!" over and over again. It's also enjoyable to listen as Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy try their best to ignore it and keep their conversation going without acknowledging the mildly insane screams in the background.

Ask a Girl: What Should a Man Wear on a First Date?

Our friends over at StyleList want to help you out. So, instead of just assuming you know everything a woman desires, why don't you listen to the editors at the premiere fashion site on the Web and make sure you are doing the right thing when it comes to the opposite sex. This week: first date attire.

There's a lot of decisions that can go into a first date. And while we've already discussed your behavioral dos and don'ts (remember, we aren't a petting zoo) we've yet to dive into the world of your wardrobe.

We'll start by clearing the air and saying, yes, your outfit actually does matter. Not only is it a representation of your dress choices in general, but also the clothing decisions you might make when meeting our parents for the first time (and, yes, we think about that too).

Our recommendation is to dress with effort, but don't make your outfit so elaborate that it becomes a conversation piece (we're sure you think the same thing about our outfits). Imagine this: the equivalent of you in a suit on a first date is a girl in sky-high heels and a mini dress. Yes, it sounds nice and looks good from afar, but all you're thinking is "why are they wearing that?!" and "I can't wait to tell my friends how over the top you look."

Most likely, your first date is drinks or dinner, so your best bet is a fitted collared shirt, jeans or khakis (depending on the venue), and a pair of shoes that are nicer than your typical weekend sneakers, but not as done-up as your dress shoes. Nothing fancy, just something to show you care about how you looked when taking us out for the first time. It's the perfect middle ground between casual and sophisticated, and it's exactly what most girls want to see.

Now, there are always a few exceptions to this rule. If you've planned a day-date that involves a casual activity, by all means throw on the jeans and a t-shirt. But that doesn't mean it's ok to wear basketball shorts and a ribbed white tank (this isn't Saturday basketball with the boys). And if your job requires you to wear a suit and you have to head right from work to your first date, your suit is always acceptable. But one piece of advice would be to lose the tie; it's the perfect way to make you and your suit seem even cooler.

A few things to NEVER wear on a first date: jerseys (even Bradley Cooper's character looked silly in one in Silver Linings Playbook), tie dye, anything stained, and Tevas. Just never wear Tevas.

If you're still looking for exactly what to wear on your first date, we've put together 9 essential items for a foolproof first date outfit sure to impress.

Cheerleader Sinks Incredible Half-Court Shot

There have been quite a few people making half-court shots at basketball games lately. There was the Miami Heat fan who got tackled by LeBron James after hitting one to win 75k, and both a college coach and a student have made half-court shots in recent weeks to win scholarships. But those were all your pretty basic half-court shots. They got nothing on this amazing acrobatic trick shot by William Carey University cheerleader Ashlee Arnau. You go, girl.

Nothing says it's time to celebrate (and possibly black out) like a shot. Now this handy chart is here to help make sure you never do the same shot twice in a night. Unless you do 31 shots in a night. But if that's the case, you have a lot more to worry about than ordering the same thing twice.
