bad.

It's a rare occasion when I find a book I can't find many redeeming aspects for. While I am not the intended audience, I couldn't grasp the humor that clearly was driving this book; perhaps a part of it is because I have no familiarity with the book this is a response/spinoff of? Instead of being amused, I was annoyed with the so-called advice provided and the generalizations of what women are. This book isn't about how to navigate the world of relationships; it just came off as the frustrated "advice" of bachelors who just want to have sex rather than deal with the romantic feelings. Perhaps the only part I was impressed with was how well organized everything was.

Not bad, moderately funny.
