Red Green's Beginner's Guide to Women

By: Steve Smith

Narrated by: Red Green

Red Green is celebrated as one of the handiest men in North America. But as well as being a purveyor of inventive practical advice on, for example, making a jetpack from two propane tanks, a hybrid car from recycled golf carts and satellite dishes, and a kiddie ride from a bar stool attached to the agitator of a washing machine, Red Green is also noted for his insights into that most difficult of assembly jobs, human relationships.

His previous best-selling tome, How to Do Everything, showed Red dipping his toe into the self-help genre with such items as "how to make dinner more romantic" and "the easy way to raise children." Now Red Green - a veteran husband (of Bernice), father, soul-searcher, philosopher, and observer - has devoted an entire book to sharing with other battle-weary and confused males all he has learned about the differences between the sexes.

Set out in approximately chronological order, from teen dating to the last words of men ("You know, honey, in the last couple of years, you've really packed on the beef"), this is the testosterone owner's manual to every aspect of finding a mate and then learning to deal with her growing disappointment in you. The man who has already shared such morsels as "if you can't be handsome, be handy" and "quando omni flunkus moritati" ("When all else fails, play dead") here presents a PhD in life-lessons about the most vexing problem facing mankind today, or any day: women.

Big fan of Red Green!

Quondo Omni Flunkus Mortati. Entertaining as sitting in a 12 foot boat on Lake Michigan

Classic Red Green

His voice makes this particularly enjoyable, adds to the jokes, even if some are dated. Brings back memories of the tv show, definitely worth the listen!

Re: A humorous guide

This is a humorous collection of insights, stories, comparisons and jokes on the relationships between men and women throughout the meeting, dating and marriage process. Those familiar with the television show or not will enjoy these chapters and advice.

Red Green rules!

I think that it's great that Steve Smith can still use Red Green for his own brand of comedy and writing. If you area fan of Red this is a great visit with the legend.

This book is a service to humanity

I’m a tough sell when it comes to comedy, but I could not stop laughing out loud. While meant to be funny (and it is!) there are some serious home truths underpinning the humor that can only come from decades of lived wisdom, and frankly, that all folks need to take to heart. If you do, the world will be a better place. Well worth your time and money - buy a copy for a friend.
