Book description
Switching your favorite sports team is forbidden. Children should
carried in your arms--never in a BabyBjorn. Workplace e-mails must
contain a precise total of zero exclamation points. Some rules are made
to be broken; however, these aren't them. Instead, these man laws are
what every living, breathing, beer-guzzling, football-watching guy must
put in to practice. The maxims cover a variety of subjects from dating
to parenting to work to entertainment, and each comes packed with its
importance, examples of the of the maxim in action, and exceptions to
the principle (because, well, rules really are made to be broken). This
guide will lay down the law with entries like: If she is in the mood,
you are in the mood. Never order a drink that includes--or has even the
slightest chance of including--a straw, umbrella, or cherry. It is only
permissible to wear sunglasses when you're actually in the sun. It's the
complete set of rules for an unruly people. Based in New York, Jeff
Wilser has been researching the
Maxims of Manhood
for over 25 years, ever since he felt guilty for breaking the rule
"Never cry at the movies"-he was six; the movie was E. T. This
book is his atonement. A former USMC Reserves squad leader, Wilser has
been a regular online contributor to sites like GQ, MTV, and VH1,
writing about dating, sex, nightlife, and pop culture. He's met many
men.
