The Complete Male Handbook for Sex, Dating, and Other Trivial Stuff

It's been a tough year for the average single man. He won't roll over in the morning and find his female Internet chat-pal waiting with breakfast in bed. The prospects at the office Christmas party will be a woman with a face that resembles the "Before" photo in a Retin-A ad, one whose sole interest is in becoming the next Vice-President of Marketing, and a third who is trying to pick up the other two.

How is a man supposed to wade through the muck of the bar scene, personal ads, and blind dates with Aunt Millie's hairdresser and not need a token dosage of Prozac? He needs a little help. What he doesn't want are some sterilized pointers from some Masters and Johnson type. Instead he needs some "storming down the sidelines coaching" and positive reinforcement from that guy down the road who always seems to know what to do.

The Complete Male Handbook for Sex, Dating, and Other Trivial Stuff attempts to provide the single male with that guidance. This story takes the reader on a comedy-laced journey from bar life to the altar, while striving to give the average guy the confidence he needs to find Ms. Right...without turning him off by sounding like a preaching know-it-all. By weaving together the first-person story of the successes and pratfalls of the author's own dating endeavors, third-person how-to's, and a look at the changes men go through as they climb the ladder of a successful relationship, The Complete Male Handbook for Sex, Dating, and Other Trivial Stuff investigates contemporary dating in a way that will keep the Generation X, Next, or Perplexed Male from trading the book for the remote control.
