Everyman's style guide - How to be the man about town

Infinite Ideas

Sinossi

All the rules are changing. Nowadays you need to be able to act the part, not just look it, or the chances of her hanging around are, frankly, nil. She expects you to be a man’s man, to know your way around, know how to react smoothly to situations and not be wrong-footed by a smarmy know-it-all wine waiter (assuming you’re not a smarmy know-it-all wine waiter yourself, that is). You need to know how to play the game. We’ve checked out all the rules of engagement and presented them here in 20 easily digested chapters. If you don’t know how to host a romantic supper at home don’t panic! It’s here. If she’s a sophisticated, arty type and expects you to know that Nietzsche isn’t the sound of a posh bird sneezing we’ll show you how to bluff your way through the literature minefield. Plus, of course, you still want a life – here’s how to beat the bookie, drink without a hangover and dance like a pro. Because, as we all know, all work and no play makes Jack an axe-wielding maniac.

Twenty-nine-year-old teacher Emily needs her father to believe her life is a success. He may have walked out on the family when she was a child and let her down when she needed him most, but her life is perfect despite him.
Or it was until last Friday, when her fiancé dumped her. Now she's facing a frighteningly empty future, and she's unravelling at work. And just when she thought things couldn't get worse, her father turns up on her doorstep.
Ed knows he's got it wrong, and he wants to make amends, even if his motives aren't entirely selfless. What better way to do that than to show Emily how much he cares about her wedding? He'll even shell out for the dress if that's what it takes.
Emily can't bear to tell her father that her life has fallen apart. So she doesn't. Before she knows it, they're planning – and booking – a wedding that's totally perfect.
Except for one small fact…
