Product Description
A stunning new-look edition of the 1960s guide to men and relationships from the author of A Guide to Elegance. A timeless Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus…
The inimitable Madame Dariaux imparts her pearls of wisdom on a subject of crucial importance to every woman – Man. In this revised edition of her 1960s classic, she deals with every aspect relating to liaison with the male species, including Adultery, Affairs, Bathrooms, Budgets, Confessions, Courtship, Divorce, Drinkers, Drivers, Hobbies, Jealousy, Monogamy, Nudity, Regrets, Snoring, Virility, Youth and Zippers.
From how to ensnare a man to how to keep him (or get rid of him!), Mme Dariaux gives advice that no 21st-century woman dare be without. In the battle of the sexes, the first rule is be armed – and Mme Dariaux provides the perfect ammunition… She also gives tips on how to deal with those other men in your life – whether it’s the postman, the mechanic or the barman – and get exactly what you want.

Format:Hardcover
Mme Dariaux offers no brash life-coaching, no abstract theories and not a breath of indignation; just clear-eyed, unsentimental but sympathetic observations of the behaviour of men and women. Her worldly-wise advice makes more recent self-help books seem embarrassingly immature. Written with charm and elegance, but also with a dash of mischief and a great sense of fun, the book is a delight.

This isn't a how to guide with men. The advice it does have is of a traditional bent, most of which isnt't useful today but still it's a really fun read that gives you a few things to about. I liked her very practical take on marriages and affairs, still any ardent feminist would not be amused.
