Best websites for men revealed
Need a list of the best websites for men? Are you looking for blogs that have a specific focus on guy topics? Hoping to read articles that zoom in all things manly?
If the answer is yes, you’ve come to the right place. That’s because this page is all about men’s websites. Let’s be honest, there are literally thousands of blogs online that cater to men’s needs. The choices can be overwhelming.
To complicate matters, most sites are niched to specific guy interests. Examples include “Men’s Grooming”, “Men’s Exercise” sites or “Men’s Style” pages.
Given the complexities, I figured it best to create a resource page that breaks down the choices based on your specific needs.
For each description, I’ve highlighted the sites key features to make things simpler.
Before diving too deep, I’d like to say the universe of men’s websites that are independently owned and operated isn’t that big.
There are numerous reasons for this, including the blending of male blogs with female sites to generate wider interest (Barr, 2016).
The end result?
A few heavy hitters that dominate the web with little exposure for the independents. That’s a shame because on the smaller sites, you often get a unique perspective you’ll find nowhere else.
So whenever possible, I’ve tried to include sites like Guy Counseling to help create awareness.
Men’s Health Sites
The first category are the men’s health focused websites. Let’s face it, without your health, you really can’t focus on anything else. Here’s a mix of independent and mainstream sites to consider.

Men’s Grooming
Guys do care about their appearance – a lot. But because we are guys, we don’t talk about it. As a result, we get our grooming tips from online. Here’s five cool blogs to check out on men’s grooming.
11. Guy Counseling
Yes, I am shamelessly listing this site and the podcast. That’s because many of the articles specifically are about “How To” matters regarding grooming and beauty. Yep, I write all of the articles.

If you are looking for contemporary grooming advice that also ties in fashion, you might want to check out Male Standard. Celebrity grooming material also appears in some of the posts. A decent site to visit.

There’s no way I could create this list without including GQ Magazine’s website. Tons of grooming articles on their blog with many that include videos. I highly recommend.
- Men’s shaving

Men’s Fitness
There are more websites dedicated to men’s fitness tips than I can shake a stick at. Some are geared towards body builders. Others are targeted towards general fitness types. I’ve tried to include a mix of both.
16. Bodybuilding.com

I subscribe to the magazine and visit the website too. They have many useful articles geared towards men on the fitness front. Moreover, the reading material isn’t targeted to just body builders. Useful for all guys who want to stay in shape.
20. Muscle and Fitness
To my mind, this is a combination type site that’s split between general fitness and body building. Amazing articles geared towards newbies to the gym or guys who have been working out a long time. A worthwhile destination while surfing the web.
