The Modern Dude isn't a Fuckboy!
Urban Dictionary defines a Fuckboi as such: A guy who will tell a girl anything to get them to hook up with them.This is not the way of the modern Dude. We are better than this. This is a shitty thing to do to women, which leads to mistrust in the next guy she encounters. Don't screw the next guy! Not to mention the inflated sense of self that it makes you feel. It is very unhealthy to go down that road for your mental.
The Modern Dude is Open Minded
The world we live in is very polarizing. Opinions are plentiful and facts are disregarded. Getting back to the basics of understanding where others are coming from can open the door to knowledge. And you know what they say about knowledge. Have and open mind. What does it hurt?
The Modern Dude Listens
Listening to another person sounds like a simple concept on paper but a lot of the time it’s difficult to truly do in practice. Distractions and self involvement can lead you to zoning out and not giving the full attention that someone deserves. Today we discuss truly listening and responding.

The Modern Dude on Cussing Like a Sailor
Cussing is language. We hear it everyday. Today we are discussing the ins and outs of potty mouth culture. Fuckin-A.
The Modern Dude does Hobbies/Self Care
Having a Hobby that is not tied to any other aspect of your life is incredibly important for your mental health and over all well being. As guys, we are pretty good at that. Self care is very similar but generally involves taking time to... take care of yourself... whatever, watch the video.
The Modern Dude & Fitness
Working out, hitting the gym, getting SWOLE. We all know we should do it, we know it’s good for us but it’s hard to stay consistent. With our extra special guest Corey Easley, we take a deep dive on what it means to put the work in on fitness, dedication and discipline.
The Modern Dude is Hygienic
Hygiene is an important part of your everyday routine, or should be anyway. Not only is it a form of self respect, but is also respectful to those around you, especially if you’re going to be in close quarters with other people. Not to mention the obvious... health!
The Modern Dude is Polite, Dammit!
Manners will take you far. Please and thank you’s should be standard in your life and they really go a long way. You never know who needs to hear that kindness.

We have our first guests! The Dudes sit down with Tai and Antony from the Across the Bar Podcast and discuss their experiences as a gay man and a trans woman.
The Modern Dude is Informed
Staying informed is one of, if not THE, most important thing you can do, especially now more than ever in this ever changing and incredibly crazy world we are living in. As a dude, sometimes we have it easier, which makes it even more important that we stay informed.
The Modern Dude Values Validation
The balance of seeking validation from others vs. being secure in your own choices is fine line. Having a solid foundation of the two is healthy however also challenging.
The Modern Dude Knows Hits Limits
Our favorite phrase here on the modern dude is “know thyself”. And that can be utilized in no better way than knowing your own limits. This is applicable in all sorts of ways including over working, being a yes man, and especially partying.
The Modern Dude Asks for Help
I’m not sure when or why it became “unmanly” to ask for help but man if it isn’t stupid as hell. Let’s put our pride to the side and do the task at hand the correct and easier way!
The Modern Dude & Physical Altercations
Look. We are guys. We have egos and testosterone a plenty. But putting your hands on another person is never it. Our mindset should always be directed towards diffusing a situation and being the bigger man.
The Modern Dude & Chivalry
Chivalry may not be dead but it certainly is not the same as it used to be. Join The Dudes in exploring what chivalry is in the new '20's!
The Modern Dude Steps Outside His Comfort Zone
Trying something new can be overwhelming whether we as Dudes want to admit it or not. However taking a step outside our comfort zone can lead us to invaluable new life experiences.
The Modern Dude is in Touch with His Feelings
Society has told Men to suppress their emotions because they need to be tough and detached. This leaves a huge void for being able to express feelings to friends and loved ones when times get hard. This can lead to real problems and stunted emotional growth.
The Modern Dude & Humility
Guys grow up with an “iron sharpens iron” mentality. This sometime leads to a competitive mindset that leaves little room for humility. Being humble is as attractive as it is important to personal growth, especially for the Modern Dude.
Dudes & Alpha Mentality
As Dudes, Society has deemed that the biggest strongest most mentally tough is the Alpha Man. In some instances that’s true and a-ok! However that mentality used too often or all the time is not only harmful and unattractive to those around you, but also to yourself.
Dudes & Encouragement
Giving your buddies a hard time is easy. Complementing your friends, on the other hand, is hard for some guys. Today we are gonna talk about why that is and the benefits of big upping your bros!
Dudes & Banter
Banter is a cornerstone of dudes relationships. Giving your buddies a hard time is often considered the highest form of love and respect. However, sometimes it goes too far. We discuss the fine line between busting your buddies balls and building them up. We could talk about this subject for hours!
Dudes & Judgement
We make snap judgements all day every day. It is a part of life. However we can help ourselves out by trying to be more positive and meet people where they are. As guys, cutting through that bravado and really getting to know the dude behind it is not only good for them but also for you!
Dudes & Insecurities
Insecurity is a touchy word. Just the word alone can cause... insecurity. In this episode we discuss different insecurities and how a dude can combat them!
Dudes and Fashion
Have you been thinking about rebranding your look? Do it! Are you comfortable what you're sporting now! Great! As long as you feel good and aren't judging others then thats all that matters!The Modern Dude is comfortable in his on skin and the fashion he chooses to wear! Grayson and Mason dive deeper into this convo in Episode 2!
