The Champ and Panama Jackson of the VerySmartBrothas.com go all the way in for their first book, "Your Degrees Won't Keep You Warm A Night: The Very Smart Brothas Guide to Mating Dating and Fighting Crime." It's like getting advice from your older brother's ignorant best friend.
Champ and Jackson are wickedly brilliant, and they force women (and men) to take a look at the deranged things we do in the name of love, sex, and relationships. They are the Phonte Colemans of relationship blogging: they talk about relationships from a black male perspective in ways that aren't condescending (Steve Harvey) or panty-pandering (Hill Harper). They just keep it honest.
You could literally choose any page out of the book and fall into the funny. One of the best parts of the book are the footnotes, which are like little pieces of food that get stuck in your teeth that you find later in the day (and secretly satisfy your hunger for more). I feel like if I had footnotes like this:
"I've been trying to figure out the mixture of smells that contributes to the SCOO {Strip Club Odd Odor}, and I've come to realize that it's a combination of ass sweat, recycled bacon grease, Nair, MD 20/20, old pennies, Bath & Body Works' Cucumber Melon Fragrance Mist, more ass sweat, and struggle. -T.C. "
...I might have paid more attention in my college history classes.
My only complaint? My favorite post about the virtues of Erykah Badu's unexpected thickness aren't included, but I'm sure the Brothas had enough material for four books. Your degrees won't keep you warm at night, but if you follow the common sense in this book I'm sure you'll find someone who can.

I love this book, it is enjoyable, eye-opening, and FUNNY! There is nothing like a book that will literally make you laugh out loud. Matters of the heart are often challenged and confused by matters of the mind, and it is nice to get an alien perspective of things (I kid).
As funny as this book is, there are real truism discussed. Love is NOT like the movies, and the sooner we move away from that, the sooner we can get to what love is about, which will be different from person to person.
Get the book, it talks about experiences that every person has had, both good and bad.

The Champ and Panama are both great writers and offer a fresh and witty look at love, dating, relationships, and what men are really thinking. I've been a fan of their blog for years and was very excited when I found out a book was coming out. I loved the book! I've read many relationship books, but this one stands out for being so well-written, funny, and insightful at the same time. I literally couldn't put this book down.It was also laugh out loud funny (especially the footnotes) and tears were literally coming down.

A fun read
This book is meant to be taken with a grain of salt. The writing is funny and relevant. The authors of the book clearly know themselves and their audience. Read more

BUY THIS BOOK!
This is, hands down, the most hilariously honest book I've read all year. It can benefit young single professionals, men and women alike. Definitely worth every penny.
