ASKMEN.COM'S MISSION

AskMen.com is a free online destination for men, a men's portal, designed to provide men with daily features on subject matter that interests the general male population.

What is its mission? To offer men candid advice, that is useful, practical and entertaining. AskMen.com address issues regarding dating, women, fashion, money, fitness, and entertainment. Offering advice that is too complicated or unrealistic does not serve any viable purpose, therefore it deals with topics that can be incorporated into men's daily lives.

Unlike other men's sites or magazines, AskMen.com updates every day, with new articles that focus on matters that men deem relevant and practical. The site also provides men with helpful suggestions for everything from career advice and first dates, to gifts and efficient cars. Its objective is to help men.

To help us along the way, we continuously search for the most interesting and entertaining writers available. Besides our regular contributors (who have become daily staples in our user's reading diet), we've also featured great writers like:

  • John Gray (Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus);
  • Jeffrey A. Krames (Jack Welch Lexicon of Leadership, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Los Angeles Times);
  • Robert Knafo (GQ, Connoisseur, Slate);
  • Barbara Taylor Bradford (A Woman Of Substance, 70 million books sold);
  • David Tutera (A Passion For Parties, Oprah, The Today Show, The View, CNN);
  • Mark Schoen, Ph.D. (Director of Sex Education for the Sinclair Intimacy Institute, award-winning filmmaker);
  • Pete Sisco (renown fitness expert and author of 6 books);
  • Brooks Melchior (New York Yankees);
  • Eve Hogan (Lifetime);
  • Renee Piane (Love Mechanics, NBC's The Other Half, A&E;'s Love Chronicles).
