• Five things every man needs in his life
• A gallery of the classiest woman in the world
• A twist on an outdated pickup rule
The Ten Commandments. The Golden Rule. The Prime Directive.
There are always lists, guiding principles and ideals for conducting oneself — in life, in relationships and even in space. So in that spirit, here’s Fuego’s list of five things every man shouldn’t be without:
Five real man essentials:
- One expensive pen: From the board room to signing personal checks, you can’t be caught with the Bics. An expensive, nice pen communicates style, good taste and makes you stand out. Recommended brands: Waterman, Mont Blanc, Cross.
- Shiny shoes: Key for first impressions. For some reason, 99% of human beings look at the floor after meeting someone new. Make sure they see their reflection in your shoes. Click here for a resource we like.
- A quality timepiece: A good watch complements suits, blazers and jeans — communicating prestige, style and everything else. Make it stainless steel, too. We recommend Movado, Rolex, Omega and certain Fossil models.
- A good lighter: This one might be a little outdated, but even if you don’t smoke it can be a survival tool — both in the clubs and in the wild. One can never go wrong with a Zippo.
- Fitted shirts: Is your nickname ‘billows?’ Even if you don’t have Daniel Craig’s frame, ditch the shirts resembling Glad trash bags and, at the very least, get some ’sport fit’ button-downs.
Classic beauty never dies: Audrey Hepburn gallery
…neither do beautiful pictures…
One can’t argue with classic beauty. Here’s a taste of Audrey in her hey-days — meaning her entire life.
The gallery spans from the 1950s to the 1990s and shows both on-set, staged and impromptu stills.

The three-day rule is obsolete
Undoing an old pickup tactic
Every woman is now aware of the three-day rule and expects every average chump to play coy and not call her for “at least” three days.
Now, it’s obsolete. Every woman knows it. It’s lost the mystery it might have had.
Urban Monarch recommends this: after scoring a woman’s number, text her after an hour or two just to say “nice meeting you.” It shows you’re not just some average chump.
