Publisher's summary

Audie Award Nominee, Humor, 2013

"Human beings fear the unknown. So, whatever's freaking you out, grab it by the balls and say hello. Then it ain't the unknown anymore and it ain't scary. Or I guess it could be a shitload scarier."

Fans of the number-one best seller Sh*t My Dad Says will recognize the always patient voice of Justin Halpern's dad as it crackles through this hysterical new audiobook. The story begins when Justin announces that he's decided to propose to his girlfriend. "You've been dating her for four years," his dad replies. "It ain't like you found a parallel f**king universe."

But eventually he gives Justin some advice: that he should think back over everything he's learned in life about women, relationships, and himself before making his decision. And that's just what Justin does—revisiting everything from his disastrous childhood crushes to the night he finally lost his virginity while working as a dishwasher at Hooters.

Full of his dad's patented brand of wisdom, it's also full of new characters just as funny—from his brother, who provides insights into wedding night rituals, to his first boss, who warns Justin to man up: "That's what a man does. He takes his shots and then he scrubs the shit out of some dishes." The result is a pilgrim's progress through the landscape of sex and love—by one of the funniest writers at work today.

Not as good as Sh*t My Dad Says

Would you try another book from Justin Halpern and/or Sean Schemmel?

I'd still give Justin another shot just because I loved Sh*t my dad says so much

Would you listen to another book narrated by Sean Schemmel?

I might not. It was a little monotonous

Do you think I Suck at Girls needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Not a comical read

Nothing like Shit my Dad says... Slow moving and a little dry at times - his Dad should have said add more humor

Extremely funny and a great listen

A great funny story and also a great performance reading the book. The voices the reader used added greatly to the book. The portrayal of the authors fathers voice had me rolling with laughter.

Loved it!😀

So funny and irreverent , and far too short. The Dad's gruff voice is hilarious. When is the next book coming?

I suck at Reading...

S*** My Dad Says (Justin Halpern) set a pretty high level expectation for this read. Although I Suck at Girls was a very entertaining and funny read, it does not quite match up to S*** My Dad Says.

This book is also a great read for males that were on the more introverted side while growing up - makes our journey look easy (or maybe I am just that cool).

I'm too old for this stuff...

Some of this is very funny, but in the end, it just wasn't for me. I guess am too jaded to listen to stories about boys and young men's troubles with girls. I kept cringing like I do to some sitcoms. Somehow I thought it would be more metaphorical...

Good story, cheesy dad voice...

The story was good, hard to follow the first book but still funny. I was disappointed in the cheesy dad voice was too much...
