Newsflash: Humans are mammals. And as such, we seem to get that primal itch to hibernate when it starts to get colder out (Okay, it’s possible we just use it as an excuse to sleep more). Doesn’t bode well for dating, does it? But Hardline swears you can actually still date and have fun when you leave your home this December. Check out some of our date ideas below! Read More
You know it’s December, right? If you have a significant other in your life—you can thank Hardline later, you lucky minx—it’s time to start thinking about a good gift or two for him.

Holiday dating doesn’t mean you two can only spend one day together at a time. If you’re looking to kick things up a notch or are already pretty darn close, consider taking off a weekend (or more) to do a little travelling. Whether it’s a short drive or a long plane ride away, taking a winter vacation together can be one of the greatest ways to spend time with your significant other. We’ve put together a list of some of the best holiday vacation spots for gay men. Read More
Pfft. Winter. Amirite? The season can be great in all sorts of ways, but the frigid wind, artificial heat and dry temperatures can be hell on the skin. According to the Men’s Health dermatology advisor, Dr. Adnan Nasir, “Cold weather reduces skin temperature. This means it produces less oil in the winter, causing it to dry out.” Basically, guys need as much care in the skin department as the ladies do, so there’s no reason for us to neglect ourselves in this season of desperate need. Take a look at our guide to the best winter skin care products for men below. It will help you find the best skin care regimen to help you survive the worst of the winter and keep your cheeks baby-soft. Both sets, should you feel so inclined. Read More

Companies of all sizes have begun to openly support the LGBTQ community and its fight for equal rights. Sometimes it’s because the company was founded or is run by somebody within the community and other times it’s because the company just knows a good consumer marketing opportunity when they see it. Whatever the reason, you should consider purchasing from a few of these LGBTQ-friendly companies instead of from their competitors. Even if it’s more of a gimmick than anything else, supporting companies that in-turn support the LGBTQ community is a good idea. It shows companies that targeting a specific group within their market can work in a positive way to help raise awareness and support. In the end, companies that support the LGBTQ community are taking a business risk: some individuals who are against the LGBTQ community often threaten to stop buying from supportive companies. Don’t make those companies regret their decision. Thank them with your dollars. Read More
