Your dog must be larger than a toaster. Tip well. Never use the word "blossom." Outperform the GPS. Know how to chug a beer (and know that you shouldn't). Always hold the door. Never use emoticons. These are The Maxims of Manhood. They cover every aspect of life: women, sports, sex, the office, family, entertainment, fashion, fitness, and more women. Some of these you'd expect. Some you wouldn't, as they usher in amodern code of masculinity (Your favorite book may not be The Da Vinci Code). In a series of 100 essays, the rules are analyzed, explained, vigorously defended and openly mocked. Every rule has an authorized exception. Except the ones that don't. This book might not be for you. It's only intended for people who fall into one of these seven buckets: 1) you are a man; 2) you will become a man; 3) you were once a man; 4) you are related to a man; 5) you are dating or have married a man; 6) you think that in the future, perhaps, you will date or marry a man; 7) you know, or think that at some point you will know—whether casually or formally—a man.

Not to be confused with Mad Libs—those lame things kids do—ManLibs was created by guys for guys. You still fill in the blanks, but there's no need to watch your mouth; in this case, words that make your girlfriend cringe earn you extra points. Based on the original Maxims of Manhood, here's your chance to make your own rules for the situations every real man needs to know how to handle, such as: Keeping an empty urinal between you and the next guy Properly ordering a steak Keeping one-night stands classy Slapping another guy on the ass Add booze and you've got a great way to kill time between games.

Witty, compelling, and shrewd, Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men is about resurrecting your inborn, timeless, essential, masculine self. The Western world is in a crisis of discarded honor, dubious integrity, and faux manliness. It is time to recover what we have lost. Stephen Mansfield shows us the way. Working with timeless maxims and stirring examples of manhood from ages past, Mansfield issues a trumpet call of manliness fit for our times. In Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men, you’ll see that: This book is about doing. It is about action. It is about knowing the deeds that comprise manhood and doing those deeds. Habits have to be formed, and actions have to be aligned with the grace received. “My goal in this book is simple,” Mansfield says. “I want to identify what a genuine man does?the virtues, the habits, the disciplines, the duties, the actions of true manhood?and then call men to do it.”

“Men who do not turn to face their own pain are too often prone to inflict it on others.” -The Minister Of Manhood The problem isn’t that you don’t have any game, the problem isn’t that you’re alpha or beta, the problem is that you don’t have any solid principles of manhood that you can stand on. So because you don’t know and have any clear manhood principles that you can stand on, you’ll find yourself making some incredibly detrimental early mistakes that are not healthy for yourself or your future. If you’ve never been taught what a man really is and given solid manhood principles to stand on, you’ll find yourself compromising yourself and then later hating yourself for compromising principles you never new existed.
