Dick Masterson from Men Are Better Than Women sent me a white and black shirt. I wore the shirt out last night to the gym and observed peoples reaction. I was surprised I barely got in the door and a guy came up and told me he thought the shirt was hilarious and asked me where I got it. I tried to explain to him that I had a website where on Fridays people send me free shirts and I wear them and link to there company and somehow he could not get passed that =P. He just kept saying “hey wait so you just started a website and people send you free shirts so you talk about there companies?” I am sure most of you reading know how its difficult to explain what you do to people who don’t know anything about internet marketing…
Ok so I made it into the locker room and decided I would wear the shirt working out. 2 other men noticed it and said they thought it was a riot. Then a woman came up to me and asked me where I got the shirt and said she thought it was hilarious. I told her menarebetterthanwomen.com and also explained that she might find the website offensive. Her mother who was with her did look a bit offensive and told me the > sign needed to be pointed the other way.
ANYWAY I have worn every shirt out that I have gotten and I have never gotten as much attention to a shirt (in a positive way) as this one. Dick Masterson truly gets marketing. I also noticed he has a book on Amazon that you can preorder AND if your sitting back and thinking this guy is full of bull the book is being published by Simon and Schuster!
I thought the site was pretty hilarious (if you have a sense of humor).
I think this website will blow up really soon… I mean its so viral…. I doubt he will ever need to buy any links!

lol… “Dick Masterson”
July 27, 2007 at 12:20 pm
Good porn name if I’ve ever heard one.
July 27, 2007 at 12:22 pm
Can’t say I totally agree with the shirt – but it IS hilarious – and do have an INCREDIBLY hard time explaining what I do for a living just like you shoe lol.. I think it’s so hard to explain because there’s no common university degree or career path to relate it to – I just tell people I “run websites” :p
July 27, 2007 at 12:26 pm
Awesome shirt, speaking of shirts and good marketing, I have been meaning to ask you; Did you make the AuctionAds shirts that neon green to attract more attention? If so, genius.
July 27, 2007 at 12:26 pm
Truth. Dick Masterson, great name haha. Quality. Shirt is great too.
July 27, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Shoe
Nice shirt! I bet its a big hit with the mrs!errrr
July 27, 2007 at 12:32 pm
Definitely its a hilarious Shirt.
Wheres the site btw? Is it menarebetterthenwomen.com ? its not working.
July 27, 2007 at 12:34 pm
Oh, sorry I got it.
I only saw this line first.
“I told her menarebetterthenwomen.com” may be you should correct this jeremy.
July 27, 2007 at 12:53 pm
That thing is awesome. Wear it out to the grocery store or something and see what kind of reactions you get
July 27, 2007 at 1:14 pm
I’m a high school math teacher and I could tell you 80% of my kids didn’t know the difference between > and
July 27, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Breaking news … Shoemoney stomped to death outside of a feminist groups headquarters for wear men > women shirt.
July 27, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Brilliant. It’s the symbols and lack of words that give it the impact.
July 27, 2007 at 1:27 pm
That is awesome that you actually wore the shirt to the gym! I can only imagine the looks that you were getting…
July 27, 2007 at 1:30 pm
OMG – I hope that’s going to be to the cover of the book!! If it’s not he’s a fool, it would probably get 50% more reaction with that on the cover. It’s just…..brilliant!
Oh, by the way…..I wouldn’t wear that shirt anywhere near the gay bar – you’d be screwed for sure (literally)….LOL!
July 27, 2007 at 1:41 pm
LOL! That is hilarious. I agree, it would be a great cover. Just a white cover with the logo on it.
Good stuff.
July 27, 2007 at 1:47 pm
That shirt rocks, it’s definitely the lack of words that give it the oompf.
July 27, 2007 at 2:16 pm
My pr0n name is Lexington Boneyard.
July 27, 2007 at 2:33 pm
If a women would wear it, i would believe the sign means: “I’m shy please take the initiative”. So i can understand why the women wanted the Shirt. That the “>” is meant in mathematical context is not realy obvious.
July 27, 2007 at 2:55 pm
The men’s bathroom is better than the women’s bathroom.
July 27, 2007 at 3:08 pm
It can’t be a very big website because it is a well known fact that men are only better than women at two things – reading maps and parking.
July 27, 2007 at 3:15 pm
Oh man, thanks for introducing me to this site. I’ve been falling out of my chair for the last half hour reading his stuff. Hilarious!
July 27, 2007 at 4:13 pm
That is hilarious! I went to the website, and the counter [Men Online: 52] made me laugh. The site’s great! Thanks for sharing!
July 27, 2007 at 4:32 pm
ok so where can we buy the shirt?
July 27, 2007 at 5:09 pm

July 27, 2007 at 5:28 pm
you obviously haven’t heard most recent ShoeMoney Show…
before you know… One year later…
“I missed this weeks t shirt Friday… I’ll make sure to get it done next week… I’ll send it to the whole neighborhood shirts”…
July 27, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Funny as hell. I love the simplicity of the design. I’m really surprised I haven’t seen this elsewhere.
July 27, 2007 at 8:29 pm
hahaha awesome shirt – BUT – here is another point of view – some ppl might think you’re gay lol hahahaha dat makes it twice as funny. (“Not that there is anything wrong with that” Seinfeld).
July 27, 2007 at 9:03 pm
*LOL* that shirt cracks me up man!
July 27, 2007 at 11:14 pm
Ha Ha – thanks Shoe – another quality site to add to my bookmarks
July 27, 2007 at 11:26 pm
The “greater than” sign cracks me up.
July 28, 2007 at 2:33 am
Haha! I love the new T-shirt, shoe! Think you could perhaps send one of those my way?..
Steve
July 28, 2007 at 2:39 am
ha ha very funny..nice shirt too..
July 28, 2007 at 6:50 am
I’m actually surprised so many people “on the street” knew what the “>” sign meant. Cool shirt like, but i think round here, i’d have to spend more time explaining it to people
July 28, 2007 at 9:06 am
T-shirt’s an eye-catcher but can’t say I quite agree with it.
July 28, 2007 at 10:14 am
Great T-Shirt..Should the title read ‘than’ instead of ‘then’?
July 28, 2007 at 10:44 am
lol
July 28, 2007 at 9:46 pm
I love that shirt! I guess there is also the side effect of having readers here want to buy some of the cool and controversial ones. I’ll be sending mine shortly.
July 29, 2007 at 1:34 am
The shirt is hilarious, remember to not wear it if there’s a NOW convention in town…
July 29, 2007 at 11:09 am
That’s really sad, if it’s the truth.
July 29, 2007 at 4:43 pm
This is really disappointing. Can you make it a month without posting sexist crap?
July 29, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Sorry, I correct myself. This isn’t even sexist, it is misogynistic, it is really disgusting and has no place in our industry.
July 29, 2007 at 6:04 pm
Ugh, I despise people like you anna. You’re what is wrong with society. People like you always have to find something to bitch about, and make it about yourself. No place in our industry? Its the internet, get a life you worthless cunt.
Am I the only one who thinks the shirt could be seen as being kinda gay though? I have a feeling that some people will take it as you like men more than you like women.
July 29, 2007 at 6:05 pm
Anna, you are what is wrong with society.
July 29, 2007 at 7:39 pm
Fantastic piece of marketing right there, simple and to the point. Although with the web address somewhere on the shirt it could prove to be an even better viral marketing tactic.
July 29, 2007 at 11:56 pm
Chris: I hate to break it to you. But, I am actually a man.
July 30, 2007 at 4:38 am
He should have put his website url on the shirt.
July 30, 2007 at 10:29 am
You may have a dick, but you are most certainly not a man.
July 31, 2007 at 6:11 am
I can’t get this shirt out of my head. I want one…
July 31, 2007 at 6:11 am
good point. he may be kicking himself as we speak or he just doesn’t need the links…
July 31, 2007 at 6:17 am
OMG, I just read this guys blog… I think he’s the president of the “he mon wuman haterz club” from the little rascles…
July 31, 2007 at 2:11 pm
that sign doesn’t mean “better” it only means “bigger”
so it only means “men are bigger than women”
and that’s no offence for me
July 31, 2007 at 3:35 pm
It takes balls to wear that shirt in public. Balls make you better though I guess according to the shirt/
July 31, 2007 at 4:50 pm
And yet you post with no website or identifying information? Sorry, I don’t think the words of gutless cowards really threatens my masculinity.
August 1, 2007 at 4:31 am
yah you are right. It’s ‘BIGGER’ not ‘BETTER’, but I guess the msg gets across
August 1, 2007 at 2:38 pm
I keep forgetting to send oyu one of my shirts.
August 1, 2007 at 2:38 pm
Yeah it does!
August 2, 2007 at 2:09 am
It sure is really difficult to explain to people about websites and what you do and how you can make money online. The guy must have been going nuts thinking about what kind of a website you have where you get free shirts every Friday
August 3, 2007 at 6:59 am
hehe lol!
August 6, 2007 at 5:29 pm
This proves how this turn into a viral marketing concept. People like to wear and want to know from where you got that tShirt. A Funny Viral Marketing Msg attached to it.
August 10, 2007 at 5:44 am
Like the shirt Shoe. Know what you guys mean about it being hard to explain to people what you do for a living. I think “run websites” is the best response alright
January 19, 2009 at 2:59 am
i find that vary sexist but…. damn man thats funny as hell XD
(guys and girls are equle)
