Why did they chose this title?November 9, 2007 Jeremy Krall(Dearborn Heights, MI USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Let me start by saying that this book is somewhat funny. The title makes no sense. The book is written by a man and has more to do with what is professional than what is fashionable. The title should have been "Mistakes Men make that Employers hate." It is a pretty good guide if you are looking for a job and don't know how to dress yourself. Otherwise, don't waste the money. The only reason I even gave it 2 stars was because of the humor.
Lame and disappointingFebruary 17, 2007 B. Jasper(Los Angeles, CA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The advice in this book is so basic and obvious that you would have bigger problems than fashion if you actually learned something. The title is pure marketing. There is nothing in the book that targets women's opinions over other men's opinions. I'm sending it back.
tries too hardJanuary 2, 2007 David A. Baer(Indianapolis, IN USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Kenneth Karpinski's little book is a quick read and has its better moments.
But his humor is sarcastic, his tips are very basic, and the project has little or nothing to do with what *women* hate. They're simply matters of good taste and self-awareness. Men don't learn well by being made fun of. We carry enough weight already.
This book makes a convenient stocking stuffer and is good for a few chuckles in that way. However the Rutledge Press 'Gentlemanners' series is more helpful if you really intend to elevate your game.
Funny and Useful!April 16, 2003 9 out of 12 found this review helpful
I saw this book at a local bookstore and had to pick it up as an early Father's Day gift for my dad. Kenneth Karpinski uses humor to pass along clothing and style advice to men. The tone of the book is joking, not negative or condescending, so no one should get offended.
This book is the perfect gift for any man in your life!
