Everyone messes up, so you can bank on future opportunities to apologize. When the time comes for owning up to your own mistakes, these tips will help ensure you make the most of making amends.

Dear anti-feminist men, 

I’m writing to you because I want to have a discussion.

From a young age, people (especially women) are constantly taught that we’re in competition with one another. Whether it’s our grades, our social status, our economic status, or those creepy beauty pageants for 6 year olds, we’re immediately thrust into a world where we’re taught to view everyone as adversarial to a certain degree.

This week, Matt kicks off our Conversation series on coming out with his own story.

Success is an uphill climb, but it’s rarely a directly uphill climb. There are cliffsides and plateaus, there are points where you have to adapt and change in order to make things work. These are not steps backwards, nor are they indicative of your failure—they’re simply a byproduct of life. More often than not, this ability to work with the circumstances in order to get by will take you farther than certain “skills” ever could.

This week on Mondays With Matt: Wearing a crop-top. And I have a NEW BELLYBUTTON.

Being a "nice guy" has become an excuse for unacceptable behavior in romantic relationships. Matt says enough is enough. It's time for honesty to take the place of kindness with ulterior motives.

You are not where you're from, and you are not your environment.

It's Monday — Boo! But, it's also time for another installment of #MondaysWithMatt — Yeah! 

We met Matt a year ago when he showed us his post weight-loss body.
