The Gentleman's Guide to Life: What Every Guy Should Know About Living Large, Loving Well, Feeling Strong, and Looking Good

I've bought several copies over the years and given them to men friends as a guide to *start* improving themselves when they don't want to be "Bubbas" any more, and all have appreciated the gift (and started learning). When my boyfriend and I were on multi-hour road trips, I'd read aloud as he drove, and we both enjoyed it.

The author makes some really valid statements that are right on and easy on the eyes. He distills the subject matter into a highly potent brew that can help any of us, who were not born into the "lifestyles of the rich and famous" to at least not make a fool out of ourselves when placed into situations requiring some finnesse.

Truly an excellent read. It's so simple and commonsensical that even the most mentally challenged person could read it. It teaches you how to be a man--pure and simple.

This book is great. Given to me by a fraternity brother, the advice inside is wonderful. Although I disagree on a few points about drinking and feel I could have written about 3/4 of the book myself, Friedman combines great humor with priceless hints. How and when to wear a double breasted suit, tips on dating, and much much more.

From love, relationships, and commitment to socks, dry cleaning and personal hygiene, Mr. Friedman reallys gives some great advice. While his is telling you the truth about the way to behave as a man, he is entertaining and also truthful. He balances what we might want to do with what we should do. Great reading!
