" \n In the era of blogs and social networking, you might not think men have many secrets anymore. Well, ha. We have a whole mess of undercover behavior you should know about. You&amp;#039;ll respect us if we&amp;#039;re honest, right? We Masturbate \u2014 a Lot Yes, men think about sex, well, constantly, and that drives us to lengths that might surprise you. Maybe it&amp;#039;s in the a.m., while you&amp;#039;re showering. Or before you get home from work. Or even while you&amp;#039;re asleep and we&amp;#039;re still up, watching TV in the next room (thanks, Cinemax!). This isn&amp;#039;t due to a flaw in our sex life; it&amp;#039;s just part of our routine. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a relaxation technique,&amp;quot; says Aaron*, 26. &amp;quot;My girlfriend has a glass of wine after work, and I masturbate my stress away.&amp;quot; We Enjoy Chick Flicks Not that you&amp;#039;ll find Beaches on our Netflix queue, but &amp;quot;the comedies are genuinely enjoyable,&amp;quot; says Andrew, 27. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m almost not ashamed to own The Break-Up\u2026okay and Love Actually.&amp;quot; Truth be told, many beloved guy flicks, like Wedding Crashers and Old School, are big on the let&amp;#039;s-stay-in-love-baby plot points. Now excuse us while we do a shot of whiskey to reassert our masculinity. We Google You Actually, we Google you, Twitter you, Facebook you, and if we had a friend in the FBI, we&amp;#039;d FBI you too. We&amp;#039;re hoping to discover anything you like or don&amp;#039;t like so we can say the right thing on dates. We know it&amp;#039;s insecurity talking \u2014 it&amp;#039;s not like we gain some psychological advantage by knowing that you played violin in high school. On the bright side, sometimes our snooping pays off. &amp;quot;When I found out that my crush blogged about indie music, I knew it was the perfect in,&amp;quot; explains James, 30. &amp;quot;I bought tickets to a Shins show and asked her out. We had a blast.&amp;quot; We Have Fat Days We don&amp;#039;t expect to be Matthew McConaughey clones, but we&amp;#039;re still not as confident about our looks as we seem. We&amp;#039;ll put on a tee shirt and suddenly notice the start of a beer belly. Or we&amp;#039;ll pull on those favorite jeans only to find a pair of newborn love handles creeping over the top. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s no warning,&amp;quot; says Dave, 28. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll see myself in the mirror and think When did I start looking like that?&amp;quot; Just noticing it is embarrassing \u2014 admitting it out loud would make us feel like, well, a girl. It&amp;#039;s nearly enough to cause a man to consider giving up his daily bacon-and-cheese breakfast sandwich. Nearly. *Names have been changed.  &amp;quot;Oops \u2014 Now She Knows&amp;quot; &amp;quot;My girl walked in on me tweezing my eyebrows. She still gives me grief about it, but if I didn&amp;#039;t do it, I&amp;#039;d look like Bert from Sesame Street.&amp;quot; \u2014Jeff Long &amp;quot;One morning, I woke up to find my girlfriend standing over me and cracking up. I was cuddling this huge stuffed bunny she has.&amp;quot; \u2014Brian Astrup &amp;quot;After a hookup, I grabbed my briefs to go to the bathroom. Then her roommate saw me and laughed \u2014 I&amp;#039;d put on the girl&amp;#039;s cotton boy shorts by accident.&amp;quot; \u2014DJ Wharton-Lake &amp;quot;I was watching Emergency Vets on Animal Planet and bawling my eyes out when my girlfriend came home. She&amp;#039;s never let me forget it.&amp;quot; \u2014Andy Galdi &amp;quot;I met a girl while I was out one night, but when she realized that I&amp;#039;d shaved my whole body \u2014 for swimming! \u2014 she was turned off and sent me home.&amp;quot; \u2014Kevin Leonard \u2014Reported By Shilpa Prabhakar "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
