Ask Your Father

Fifty things your father should have told you but probably didn’t, including how to tie a Windsor knot, hang a door, hold a baby, change a woman’s mind, and get the best table in a restaurant.

If you’re a guy looking for the lowdown on some things that really matter in life— whether fixing a dripping tap or finessing a wine list—who better to ask than your dad? Chances are, he knows a thing or two, like how to smoke a cigar, win an arm wrestle, and ask for a raise. The trouble is, in your moment of need, he’s rarely at arm’s length, especially when you’re trying to jump-start a car or read a woman’s body language. When your dad’s not available, check out this collection of savvy advice. It’s like having your father in the palm of your hand (sort of) any time, anywhere. Don’t leave home without it.
