Long Overdue September 7, 2010

This is one of the best books I have read in ages. The authors really put forth some great ideas. I bought a copy for my teenage son (after he took over my copy) & I will be buying more for graduation gifts & xmas.
Up Your Manliness Quotient September 2, 2010
kthdimension (Vienna, Austria)
This book is a far-reaching and concisely written manual on manliness that aims to equip the (manly?) reader with the knowledge to be "the best man you can be" (pp.264). The husband-wife authors, Brett & Kate McKay, cover the predictable: gentlemanly dress, tying a tie, table manners, hospitality and house guests, thank you notes, chivalry, ending relationships like a gentleman, making the marital commitment, manly camping essentials, knot tying, compass navigation, and even how to land a plane in an emergency. What makes the book more useful, however, is the space devoted to the topics that are not usually associated with manliness: the mechanics of giving a man-hug, throwing classy and tasty bachelor parties, discussion of the five essential traits of leadership, the how-to for giving a great speech, and the lengthy discussion of the thirteen virtues comprising Benjamin Franklin's "The Virtuous Life". If you are looking to increase your manliness quotient, as it were, or just looking for more advice on how to be a better person, this book won't disappoint.
Great book must have for the modern man! July 2, 2010

I bought this book for my fiance as he doesn't really have a strong male role model and has trouble making trusting friendships with other men and felt he was missing out on something. This book is awesome! It has tons of secrets and tips, suggestions and really sound advice. And ladies- this is truly a men's guide for men. Advice on the bachelor party:
"Strippers are trashy and strip clubs are a waste. Sure its your last night as a single man, but why spend it staring awkwardly with your friends in a club? Your bachelor party is a time to let loose with an event that you really enjoy. When most people hear "bachelor party," they think keg stands and g-strings. But today, we will discuss the honorable origins of the bachelor party and how you can throw one with real class for your bud."
Has loads of other great information for single men, married men, engaged, gay, straight, what have you. Just a great book that harkens back to manners, wit, and intelligence as being key qualities.
Classic Manners for Men May 27, 2010

This is a great book. If you want to do someone a favor, buy this book for them. It should be required reading for all males. Good information. This is a book that can show that chivalry is not gone, just forgotten in today's society. Great information for men.
Best book I have ever owned May 10, 2010

This book, and the associated blog, has literally changed my life.
I got the book after reading through the blog, [...], and I am not dissapointed.
The book covers a huge number of practical manly things, such as how to fit a suit, how to pick a hat, the roadmap to a perfect first date, how to give flowers, and how to land a plane if the pilot has died.
Intertwined with unique humor, and no-nonsense advice and guides, I read this book everyt ime I need advice on all things manly.
