Dont Be That Guy by Colin Nissan

from BookOdyssey · host Book Odyssey - Admin

The provided text is an excerpt from the book "Don't Be That Guy" by Colin Nissan and illustrated by Sean Farrell, which offers a satirical examination of annoying and socially awkward behaviors exhibited by men. The book’s foreword clearly states its purpose is to validate the reader's feeling that certain men are "a complete ass" and to help the actual offenders recognize their own boneheaded actions. Organized into various categories like "SPORTS & FITNESS," "SEX & RELATIONSHIPS," and "ETIQUETTE," the content humorously calls out specific male archetypes, such as "Guys who insist on playing everything shirts & skins" or "Guys who say, 'We're pregnant'," using exaggerated and often vulgar language, as noted in the dedication section. The authors, Nissan and Farrell, are identified as an advertising copywriter and art director, respectively, who compiled their unflattering observations into this humorous guide.
