If you’ve ever wondered why men act the way they do, or felt there should be in place a set of rules that would benefit not just them but society as a whole, then The Man Code is a must-read. It takes a serious, yet sometimes humorous, look at the unwritten rules that govern the behavior of today’s American man. From behavioral quirks to the essential qualities that embody the ideals of true masculinity, this book assembles a common standard of conduct and details the guidelines for interacting with the world around us. The biological and cultural roots of these expectations are also examined, as well as an explanation of their social value, to provide both validation and a dedication to the code’s adherence.
