Anyone know a good men's blog or community?

Can you recommend a good men's blog or community?

The other night, I clicked on a link that took me to a story on a site called xojane. As I was reading the story, it hit me that there didn't seem to be a men's equivalent of a smart, funny, intelligent blog or community. Where women have thriving and supportive communities like BlogHer, Jezebel, and xokane, men have .... what? I Google'd around, and all I found was a ton of Maxim or Details clones and /or religious groups like Promisekeepers. That's not what I'm looking for.

Can anyone recommend a good men's blog or community that isn't all booze, boobs, or grooming? Something for a Guy in his 30s who thinks. Something like Metafilter?

The commonly-linked place is the Good Men Project.

You want The Art of Manliness.

I'll echo the Art of Manliness. It's more or less what you're looking for, although I find that it sometimes relies too heavily on gender stereotypes (and the guest posts are occasionally out of tune with the rest of the site).

No Seriously, What About The Menz is also a pretty good blog about men's issues. blasdelb created a FPP about it, and the post itself generated a lot of interesting discussion.

I've heard Put This On recommended before for this sort of thing. It seems to fit what you're looking for, but I can't personally vouch for it as I don't follow it.
