There were a lot of negatives in my recent trip to Turkey, but a positive was being able to witness how Turkish men work in groups to get laid. For men who are not allowed to pick up their local women due to cultural and social barriers, I was duly impressed with their wingmanship and coordination.

They go out in groups of at least three, with defined roles for each member One guy is the “translator,” meaning he has the best English and facilitates conversation with foreign Read More

You are on the subway, walking down the platform, when you see a cute girl overloaded with shopping bags, full of Christmas presents. She is wrapped up warmly in a scarf and a long coat, but you can discern that beneath her seasonal garb here is a shapely, pulchritudinous young woman that you would like to get to know better.

I'm under no false illusion that readers of ROK are all upstanding law abiding citizens. I'm pretty sure a lot of us either have or had habits that have landed us in some sort of hot water with the law. Those who know what I'm talking about know this kind of trouble can be both physically and mentally taxing and takes a huge toll on finances. I'm also aware that there are some illegal activities men can't or won't let go of. Whether it's an addiction, the money, a sense of identity, or just being an adrenaline junkie, there are a Read More
