All men need to know the rules that lead to success in every professional and social situation, and no one can explain them with more humor and verve than Esquire's experts: "Queer Eye Guy" Ted Allen and Scott Omelianuk. With lots of wit and plenty of wisdom, this to-the-point handbook advises men on all aspects of life, from topics to discuss during a plane flight with the boss to surefire signs a woman wants to get you into bed. (There are no surefire signs.) Written by Ted Allen, one of the Fab Five on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and Scott Omelianuk, Esquire's former executive editor, it presents the rules of the game that every man who wants to get ahead should follow in these complicated times. Need etiquette guidance on the job? Find out what to wear on an interview, what things never to order at a business dinner, how to fire somebody, how to ask for a raise, and more. Want ideas to heat up the bedroom? Always remember: It's about her. Except when it's about her. Every page offers a delicious new tidbit of enlightening amusement.Things a Man Should Know: The thing is, the clothes do make the man.Use all the mouthwash and breath mints you like. Sticky notes are not stationery.Everybody who drinks the office coffee should occasionally make a pot. On the notion that good girls don't: Yes, they do. Menage à trois: French for "In your dreams."

Scott Omelianuk and Ted Allen (of "Queer Eye" fame) former Esquire magazine editors who have written numerous books called "Esquire's Things a Man Should Know About . . ." are shrewd & witty writers with an eye for amusing specifics their series contains titles such as "Marriage", "Handshakes & White Lies", "Sex", "Style" & now this ... Esquire's Things a Man Should Know about Work and Sex (and Some Things in Between) which are all based on the magazine's popular feature of the same name.It's not really a book. Well it is, no its not. Yes it is. It's more a collection of one-liners and witty admonitions constituting a vague philosophy of life that would be considered ideal by some & chauvinistic by others.This racy guide conveys insights from men and women, wisecracks and tips about cultivating and maintaining relationships like "Ménage à trios" is French for "In your dreams." & Sex three times a week can burn off 7,500 calories a year etc...This book is a straight-forward guide on what to do, when to do it & who to do it with. Everything you ever wanted to know about life with a twist...pretty much.Its one of those books that are sarcastic, witty & a pleasant read.I've got five books of the same series & each is unique in its own right, however there are a few repeats but that is expected. Their humor at men's expense is terrific but actually women relish it too. I mean how far can you go in a man's world to realize our life revolves around the fairer sex?Not recommended for people who are too serious or can't laugh at themselves.

After I bought this book I learned that it is actually 2 books in 1--"Esquire's Things a Man Should Know About Sex" and "Esquire's Things a Man Should Know About Handshakes, White Lies, and Which Fork Goes Where." You should definitely buy this book instead of the other 2, because it is twice as long for the same price. This book consists almost entirely of 1- or 2-sentence paragraphs with pithy advice about how to behave in the workplace, how to dress, and how to woo women and behave in the bedroom. It also has a few etiquette questions and answers and top ten lists (such as things not to do in a certain situation, etc.) thrown in for good measure. A good humorous reference for men and useful for women as well so they can understand men better (maybe). I recommend it for short-attention-span reading.

I'd say that readers expecting anything of substance relating to any of the topics discussed in this book should look elsewhere.There is some really good advice about work, sex, and relationships. But, I was unhappy with the fact that the authors use 36 point font so that each page has about 9-10 sentences. It just makes one wonder whether they had about half of a book and decided to put it out in this format to pull one over on the reader.Had they actually used a proper font size, I doubt this 'book' would be more than a 20 page pamphlet.I'd say give it a pass.
