It seems like just yesterday when you got a copy of
The Dangerous Book for Boys and finally learned how to be a proper boy, doesn't it. Now that you're all grown up and going to college, I think it's high time you learned how to be a proper man as well. While the manboys you may currently know might get secret subscriptions to

Anyway, I would like to direct your attention to
The Art of Manliness, a grown-up version of your beloved book. There are practical articles such as
Nice Guys Don’t Have to Finish Last or others that are more up your alley in the seemingly useless life skills category:
How to Land a Plane in an Emergency or even
The Gentleman's Guide to the Calling Card.

I’m sure the first time gramps saw your sweet little granny looking all cute and perky in her bobby socks and saddle shoes, he gave her the look over, thought “hubba hubba!” and immediately took her to the nearest soda fountain to sip Coca-Cola from one glass with two straws. And even as your grandma got wrinkly and saggy, she stayed beautiful and alluring in his eyes. So here’s to you grandma for being grandpa’s greatest babe.-
Now all you need is to grow some facial hair and you'll be all set.
