Review: We've all experienced that despondent feeling of getting online and then not really knowing where to go next. Well set your homepage to this mega men's magazine and you'll never have to worry again, fella. There's almost 9000 articles like the 'guide to picking up strippers', interviews - with celebrities like Heidi Fleiss - mistress to the stars, reviews of all the latest music and movies and plenty of the good ol' staple fare of hot chicks, how to get buff help, humour, message boards and contests... and that's just the articles! On second thoughts don't make this your homepage, man, you may never leave. - SS

Review: A stubby, sausage roll and plate of hot chips, this calorie-fest is what most of us men like to call 'a balanced diet', but when you find yourself shopping at tent-city just to get a shirt that fits, it's time to get serious about your health. To help you get motivated - and to get rid of that oh so out-of-vogue pot belly, Men's Health Australia run a fitness challenge every year for prizes totalling more than $100,000! They're throwing down the gauntlet, throwing it to a place you can't reach to anymore and it's up to you to log on, read about the challenge, deadlines, prizes, chat with other bodily challenged punters, read inspirational success stories and hopefully go for the big one. Even if you don't win, at least your missus'll be happy. - SS

Review: Boys will always be boys, or so the saying goes, and as we all know it's a always a good idea to segregate the blokey antics away from the delicate and oversensitive ladies. Over the ages a variety of activities have been devised specifically for this purpose of giving the lads the chance to unwind - sports matches, fishing, poker nights and drinks after work etc. With the advent of the internet, some of our geekier cousins have created this club where we can all get together online to discuss important issues like tits, cars and beer. The site contains columns of amusing rants, loads of links to quality time wasters and a few perverse items listed under 'other' which I'll leave to you to explore. So slip your sheila $50 and send her off shopping and I'll meet you here, slab in hand. - SS

Review: Men the world over abide by that unwritten code of conduct that says we must under no circumstances discuss our problems, weaknesses and heaven forbid, emotions. While this may have served Attilla the Hun quite adequately, the modern world is a very different place. Men's Line is Australia's first national telephone counselling service exclusively for men. It's a private and safe service that offers access to 24 hour practical support from qualified counsellors who are trained to offer a 'no-blame, no-shame, no-judgement' response. So remember even Attilla had his bad days. Sometimes the best thing to do is to just pick up the phone and talk it over. - SS

Review: It's been almost a decade since the Men's special interest magazine genre took off and one of the biggest success stories has been FHM. Their website offers plenty more of the same fare, with jokes, sexy "Photoshopped" fantasy girls, music, movies, sex and health articles (OK more sex than health) and their hilarious list of links including 'Bangkok Ping Pong challenge', 'Pot or Not?' and 'Ads from Early 80s Biker magazines'! While there is nothing revolutionary, FHM have provided a good solid website which will help pass the time while you wait to knock off work and head to the pub to see the topless barmaids. - SS
