I'm Having More Fun Than You
Description
From Aaron Karo, stand-up comic and acclaimed author of Ruminations on College Life and Ruminations on Twentysomething Life, comes I’m Having More Fun Than You, an irreverent exploration of why guys embrace bachelorhood and love flying solo in their twenties and thirties.
This hilarious book finally answers the question every woman asks: Why do guys run from commitment just when it’s time to settle down?
- The Single Guy Perspective: From being the awkward "seventh wheel" at a dinner party to celebrating the freedom of flying solo, this is an unapologetic look at a bachelor’s prime.
- Modern Dating Disasters: Learn the unspoken rules of booty texting, how to use Facebook for reconnaissance, and why you should never, ever go on a proper first date.
- Wingmen and Best Friends: A hilarious deep-dive into the unwritten rules of male friendship, from acting as a wingman to organizing a bachelor party your friends will never remember.
- Surviving Wedding Season: A single guy’s guide to navigating engagement parties, open bars, and the eternal quest for "wedding ass" without losing your mind (or your rental tux).
Why settle down when you can hook up?
"Happily married people and perpetually single people are similar: We've both given up on dating and have merely chosen different exit strategies."
So begins Aaron Karo's hilarious exploration of bachelor life, from the alcohol-fueled pursuit of chicks in bars to sophisticated advances on defenseless bridesmaids. As his thirtieth birthday approaches, Karo observes the women around him growing increasingly desperate to tie the knot and finds himself equally determined—to remain uncommitted. What follows is an outrageous account of one man's quest to party like a rock star, get laid with abandon, and silence his critics in relationships with the rebuke "I'm having more fun than you." Irreverent, insightful, and relentlessly funny, Karo offers a unique glimpse into the world of guys who defy convention, morality, and their moms in order to preserve their independence.
