About this title

Review:

we hope all readers know how to jump start a car or change a tyre, there are tips for trickier tasks, such as how to choose a bottle of wine or how to give a great massage...Classic Car World, December, 2010.... Among male-aimed topics, it includes a chart listing Twelve Famous Playboy Playmates and their histories. How to give a massage with discreet diagrams including 'Effleurage: (from the French 'to skim or touch lightly') apply soft and fluid strokes firmly with the palm of your hand.' A 'Good joke for Guys' starts with 'A man enters a bar carrying an alligator.'A chapter titled 'Simple Answers to Difficult Questions' covers 'Do you love me?' Suggested Response: Yes. Question: 'Do you think that girl was pretty?' Suggested Response: What girl? And most tricky 'Does this blouse/skirt/dress make me look fat?' Suggested Response: Are you kidding? I've never seen you look more beautiful.You can get away with that one once, guys. Women remember.There are tips on the tricky business of buying clothes for a woman. As Cohen warns, 'If you're going to do this, it is imperative that you do this right.' One suggestion is 'dark colors are slimming. Unless you're a pro, avoid stripes of any kind.' At the end he sagely advises 'be sure to ask for a gift receipt (no matter how much you think she'll like it), and slip it into the gift wrap.'Look for the hidden jokes. In the copyright statement at the front is a disclaimer 'We do not guarantee that this information is safe, complete or wholly accurate, nor should it be considered a substitute for a reader's good judgment and common sense. In other words: Exercise caution when lighting a campfire. And never ever propose to a woman via a JumboTron.'Words to the wise (man) all wrapped up in a discreet little black book....Modbee dot com, Nov, 2010....For those who cut class, there is 'Stuff Every Man Should Know' by Brett Cohen.This book, sized to fit in a man's suit pocket, is a how-to manual for the above and more: how to open a beer bottle without an opener, cast a fishing line, grill anything (mostly from supermarkets), buy a diamond ring and propose.. --Merecer Sun-Star, Nov, 2010...
