Here you can get clued in. Learn to use good tools to your best advantage. (And save money along the way. I mean, who wouldn’t want that? So, go to the GOOD DEALS AND OUTLETS page now to get started shopping if you’re in a hurry.)
The point of having stuff is to improve your life, enhance well-being, enjoy yourself. Presumably, you want to accomplish some things. Or solve some problems. You have dreams and goals.
In general, you probably want to be free, express yourself, optimize survival, be vital. Tools, gear, and tech can help. You’ll find the best of it collected here. Plus ideas on how to apply it.
And then, instead of having to traipse all over town to find it, you can order it today, now, get it from some of the best merchants online.
This site is intended to be your total lifestyle resource
When it comes to high-quality products, you can access roughly 70% of the world’s consumer goods here — often for discounted prices. If you’re looking for something specific, type it into the search bar at the top right and see what comes up. Follow the links. Browse the categories in the right sidebar. Explore the Archives. Click the banners under ”Featured Companies and Deals” in the right sidebar for outstanding businesses and attractive deals.
On the other hand, maybe you have a problem you’re trying to solve. Here you can find solutions — ideas and aids in your quest to improve yourself and your situation.
The Internet is the largest bazaar of goods and ideas ever. It puts the world’s stuff and knowledge at your fingertips 24/7, delivers it to your door. Imagine one of those ancient trading towns at the crossroads of all civilizations, filled with exotic and marvelous goods. That’s what you’ll find at this site. It’s a market that never closes, never runs out of great stuff to explore.
This site will help you discover and obtain things that you as a man will want to use – the best available. Included along the way is some education and entertainment. (And if you’re a woman shopping for a man, you’ll get a ton of gift ideas here.)
The best tools, tech, gear, and information help you accomplish whatever you want to accomplish. It makes your journey easier, more enjoyable, more gratifying, helps you become the best version of yourself.
Plus, look good doing it.
Fundamentally, humans are tool-users — whether it be a knife, a spaceship, the World Wide Web, or duct tape. Tools help you actualize potential. Outstandingly-effective tools, more so.
There’s an old saying that “clothes make the man.” Great possessions help you feel cool and express your creativity. Ultimately, everything comes down to the way you feel. So, whether you’re sitting on a mountaintop watching clouds drift by, or you’re driving an Alfa Romeo 8C along the Amalfi Coast with the girl of your dreams by your side, you can learn to feel the way you want to.
My recommendation: do both. 
What makes the difference?
Curating the world’s stuff, so you don’t have to. I, your scout of function, quality, and aesthetics, enjoy researching and exploring the best information sources available – trade publications, technical journals, online reviews, consumer tests, surveys, annual reports, industry conventions, niche blogs, consumer mag’s, awards, expert assessments of all types – to find the best stuff to help you do…whatever. To live a cool life. You don’t have time to research every option for what you want, so use this site. Who wants to waste time and money shopping at store after store to find a) the best thing for the job, and b) the best deal? You can shop here and get just about anything you want delivered to your doorstep for a very good price. (Alternatively, you can go out and shop a bit, find something you want, come home (or use your smartphone), get online, bring up this blog, and order from one of the outstanding merchants recommended here, because the price is generally lower online and you can often avoid sales tax.)
You’ll find original reviews here (free of paid endorsement). And you’ll get ideas and news of interest to guys. In that respect, you can hardly find something that some guy, somewhere, will not find interesting or desirable — from the nocturnal gamer jousting with his joystick to the midwestern farmer looking for an ATV to get him to the deer blind the most quietly to the desert-dwelling dentist who wants his new exotic car to have reliable A/C to the scientist who researches bromeliads by day and plays his guitar and sings original songs (about bromeliads) in cafés by night. Or the journalist in London wondering which personal recorder will best capture an interview. Or the soldier in South Korea wanting the best tax and insurance information to secure his family’s finances…
In addition to gear, products, technology, and services, I’ll provide the occasional heads-up on cultural developments that can contribute to your entertainment, your expansion, your proportion of awesome — or pleasantly distract you from the fact that your life is going in about four different directions and you’re wondering how you’re going to corral it all into a coherent package…
You can do it with style. We will cover that.
Figure out what you want, then get your hands in the clay of life to shape and produce the things, experiences, and relationships you’ve envisioned. That’s what men do. Stuff helps make the difference. This site does, too.
By the way: Clicking the links in the posts and making purchases of any products from the merchants referred to here will help support this site. So, if you want it to continue and expand, visit here when it’s time to shop for yourself or someone else and buy something cool from some of the best vendors on the planet…
Full disclosure…
…about the financial relationship I have with many (but not all) of the merchants who sell the items that I review: I have affiliated with certain businesses that I respect so that you can easily obtain the products I review here. If you click a link to a merchant’s site and buy any of their products, I get a little commission from the merchant (which adds no additional cost to you). However, I am not paid by anyone to review items. I am not paid to endorse them. (And if I ever am, I will so state.) I will do the best I can to find multiple sources to corroborate the quality of the products and services I recommend – to seek confirmation from trustworthy sources and references that indicate a statistical likelihood of high quality. In addition, I will include my own experience with products whenever possible, as well as that of my friends, family, and colleagues. So you should have an expectation of finding products here that are superior and will perform as described (though I’m required by the Federal Trade Commission to state that “your results may vary”). Of course, if you’re still unsure, you are encouraged to do additional research.
In addition, I will strive to associate only with the best online vendors — those businesses that care about their customers, offer their stuff at good prices, maintain secure online transactions, and do their best to resolve problems. No company is perfect, but there are merchants who are committed to providing great service and high performance. Those are the companies I choose to work with — and I do a lot of digging to find them. It is also my intention to make this website meet the same standards.
But it wouldn’t be worth much without you, the reader, the hunter-gatherer…so thanks for visiting! If you find something enjoyable or useful here, please inform 37 of your closest friends via Facebook, Twitter, email, phone, pony express, etc.
And please leave comments — offer your opinion of a post, an experience with a product, make a suggestion, ask a question… I would like Best Stuff for Men to be a helpful community of ideas, knowledge, information, and cutting-edge progress. (Note: you must provide a valid email address to leave a comment; it’s part of the anti-spam process. But unless you sign up for our e-newsletter or win one of our promotional contests, I will not send email to you. Nor stand outside your window playing In Your Eyes on a boombox.)
