A hilarious exploration of male-female communication and other momentous topics

Men don’t tell women things for various reasons.

* *

*1.     *The things in question may not be true.

*2.     *It is better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a pig than to open it and oink.

*3.     *There is a certain pleasure in holding certain considerations close to the chest.

*4.     *When there is a topic that might complicate a situation in which a woman is pleased for a man to hold her close to his chest, a man does not want to mess with it.

*5.     *It is hard to be manly while making pained moaning sounds.

*6.     *Men, whether or not they have the Right Stuff, have never quite gotten a secure grip on the concept of the Wrong Thing.

The more Roy Blount Jr. thought about what men don’t tell women, the more he began to realize that nearly all of his writing involved things people don’t tell people. Things the sick don’t tell the well, things southerners don’t tell northerners, things authors don’t tell readers, things all too few of us tell anyone at all. But especially the things men don’t tell women. This riotous collection of classic Blount humor is chock full of those gender trade secrets—and plenty of yodeling too.
