We’ve compiled some of Stanley’s greatest hits in this handy-dandy book that you can bring out whenever your date is starting to falter or when you’ve just been basted and you absolutely have to make #ganti. And all of the articles here—all 26 of them (epilogue included)—have been crafted with one goal in mind: to strike out the “nice” from your system. To make sure that once you’re done reading this exhaustive tome of “matalinong kamanyakan,” you’ll become a far more effective force in that thing called pag-ibig. To increase your chances of NOT being placed in the friend zone. To ensure that you’ve become so not-nice that we won’t ever need to come up with a Book 2. (Actually, scratch that last part. Just be a little bit nice and a little bit not-nice. We need your help in putting out a Book 2.)
