Product Description

Through a process of exhaustive man research he calls "keeping his eyes open," Dick Masterson has compiled a Magnum-size list of the ways men are better than women. It is an infallible compendium of man's greatness, filled with the most egregiously fallacious arguments ever put to words, but with some kind of miraculous, rock-solid man logic dripping like motor oil from every sentence. It is a manifesto more memorable than bullshit like High Fidelity or which Axe baby powder Maxim thinks you should slap on your nuts before clubbing, more chock-full of devastating man quotes than Oscar Wilde with two wangs. Most important, it is the only one of its kind. In Men Are Better Than Women, Dick Masterson dispenses logic from his man mouth into the eyes of his male readers like some kind of mighty mother man eagle with nutrient-rich word vomit. It's a book that makes you feel like driving a train into a dynamite factory and then tearing a telephone book apart with your bare hands, just because that's the way men have always done it.

Masterson's chapters are simple and self-contained, demand no commitments from readers, and have an immediate payoff. Men Are Better Than Women is a dangerous work of satire -- not dangerous in a revolutionary sense, but dangerous in that it walks the razor-thin line between cruelty and absurdity. That line is called hilarious.

3.0 out of 5 stars funny, but wears off after a while, August 5, 2008

By	Brandi D. Barron "sure" (Houston) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's got some funny parts, mixed in with a lot of bland ranting. Overall, I'd say it's worth a read for sentences like "women couldn't do math even if it tasted like chocolate". But I wouldn't put this guy on the same level as Maddox and the others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure awesome, March 30, 2008

By	Sparky McGee (NYC) - See all my reviews

First off, it has to be said: That is possibly the greatest book cover ever.

Second, the book is awesome in it's own right. I have a copy proudly sitting next to my toilet, and read one entry per dump. They are the perfect length, and always entertain. If you like Tucker Max's or Maddox's book, you will like this book.

And just to let the haters know: I have known Dick for a year, he is actually a solid guy in person. And here is the kicker: He has an amazing girlfriend. She's good-looking, smart, and the type of girl who will help you hide the body. Those women are very rare. If I wanted a girlfriend, it would make me jealous.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is highly entertaining. I recommend it, April 25, 2008

By	N.Kojima (Trenton, NJ) - See all my reviews

I usually read books when they're entertaining; as for this book, it's literally a "page turner". Page by page, it will make you laugh, and at the same time you will learn quite a bit of stuff.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that want to learn their inner-man. After you read this book, you will become proud of your manly self.
