This was a short, amusing read. While there were some zingers, most of the 106 things were either fandom/hobby specific, or they required the person saying them to make themselves sound dumb. I did enjoy the spirit of the book though, and I ate up the small taste of the author's voice and experiences. This being my first read by this author, I'll definitely check out his other books.

This was everything I expected going into this book. Go figure but my brain hadn't registered Kyle was a dude's name because Americans tend to name their kids crazy names so you know. Anyway, it was extremely self-aware and I also appreciated the last chapter in which he dissected why those sentences "shatter the male ego" (spoiler alert it's toxic masculinity). I'm always sad reading these books because I know they won't end up being read by the people who would need them most (✨alpha males✨). Overall a quick read that had me cracking up at times and yeah, I have to admit, I found this guy funny, who knew men could actually be funny (this is SARCASM, for the idiots in the back).

This is a short instructional manual for how to piss off men. Personally, I don’t tend to need instructions for this but I did really enjoy the audiobook and commentary around the jokes. Would recommend it to men who have a sense of humor, and women/femmes who need a laugh (which is all of us).

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for this audiobook for review purposes.

Content warning: This may piss off men

This was a quick fun listen. I've seen many of these things on this authors social media but having them all there ready to fire at will was a nice touch

This audiobook was great!! I loved the extra bonus content with Kyle and his mom. Might have to buy this book to keep in my bathroom. Great for men and women. Hilarious and practical.

The laughs rang out as every word this author uttered hit a deep nerve within any man around. I recommend this if you have been digging deep for those one sentence comebacks to men who think they are high and mighty. And the personal experience he gives makes it so much better.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I am a fan of Kyle Prue’s tik tok series on how to piss off men and was excited to see him put off this book. It had humor that made me laugh out loud, which I expected. What I didn’t expect was Kyle’s anecdotes about his experiences with masculinity. It was a welcome and pleasant surprise. I especially enjoyed the end section with his Mom.

I follow the author on the Tiktoks so I naturally had to read the book. I read the book and then I was given the chance to listen to this. OMG I am so glad I did. This was hilarious. I loved the second section with his mom too. Just wonderful. What a blast.

I loved this book. I had seen a few of Kyles videos before but this was such a quick and funny read. The bonus chat at the end with his mother was also great.

Short and funny. I really enjoyed the sections that were anecdotes as to how the "Things you can say" originated and definitely laughed out loud on my commute listening to this book.

Thank you Netgalley for the Audiobook!

I didn’t expect it to be a list of comebacks, I expected a little more text but it made me think of those magazines I bought as a teen, there were always lists like this in those. Feels like a book many will get for their birthday, “Not that you need any help in this area but I thought of you when I saw it.” Did trees deserve to die for this? Not sure. I had the audiobook for this and the author/narrator does a good job but feels that this book should be TikTok videos. He does address that men reacting with angry is a second emotion from something else happening inside, I found that interesting.

Thank you Net Galley and Publishers for letting me read an arc of this book in return for an honest review.

I wanted this book to be more funny I guess. There were some enjoyable insults throughout, but most of them women already know to use. I would say this book would make a good gag gift, and there's some insults I would use in here. It's a very quick read but no really memorable quotes from it.

Very quick and funny read. Highly recommend.

I know Kyle from his TikTok’s and while this is very similar to those, I still think this is worth reading (or listening to in my instance).

I have to preface this by saying I've been watching Kyle and his ways to piss off men on TikTok for years, so I'm already a fan. I've also had multiple people tell me they heard of this book and it reminded them of me without even knowing I'm a fan of his, so there's that.

I saw the audio on NetGalley and have never clicked on something faster in my life. I listened from beginning to end in one sitting and laughed the <i>entire</i> time. I think hearing it in his voice is half of what makes it so funny, so I do highly recommend the audio version. That being said, I am going to buy an actual copy for my own reference.

100/10, I will continue to use this advice in my every day life.

Hilarious! Love these ideas to shatter the fragile male ego. Told so many to my husband who plans on using a few at work this week 😂 such a funny read.

Short and funny comebacks for sexists that you may encounter online or in-person. It's nice to know that women and other marginalized groups have an ally in someone like Kyle Prue. It gives me the hope that is so often absent these days.
My one grippe is that many of these comebacks would leave the woman (or other) saying them looking stupid, and if you're dealing with misogynists, so I fear that this will only serve to reinforce sexist stereotypes already held by these people. Confirmation bias, rather than putting them in their place.

Kyle Prue is as hilarious in his audiobook as he is on TikTok. I highly recommend the audiobook, as Prue is a great narrator, but I am sure it would also be a great physical read. This book, filled with over 100 witty phrases designed to challenge toxic masculinity, would also make a fantastic gift. It’s a fun coffee table addition that promises to spark conversation.

I probably wouldn't have finished this one if I was reading a paper copy, but as an audiobook it was ok. I chuckled a bit throughout it, but there was also a feeling of "mansplanning" as I listened, like why was this even written? Women know how to piss of men without being told how to by a man... I went into it with no prior knowledge of the author's work. Not my kind of comedy.
Thank you to NetGalley and RBMedia for the audiobook for review.

Kyle Prue took his long-running TikTok bit and has turned it into a definitive guide for ruining the ego of any man you know. Hilariously funny, this book will have you laughing out loud while he reads his most devastating question-statements. 10/10 for creativity.

Going into How to Piss Off Men, I had never heard of Kyle Prue before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It turned out to be a quick listen, and while it had its funny moments, it didn’t entirely hit the mark for me.

Prue’s humour is sharp and direct, which works well in some parts, but I found myself wanting a bit more depth in others. The anecdotes and observations were entertaining enough, but there were times when the humour felt like it was skating on the surface, not really digging into the topics in a meaningful way (which I can't fault him for as I doubt it was meant to be that serious).

That said, I really enjoyed the part at the end where Kyle and his mom did a sort of Q&A session and offered advice. It felt more personal and engaging, and I could easily see myself tuning into an entire podcast of them just doing that. Their dynamic was natural, and their insights were some of the most memorable parts of the book for me.

Overall, How to Piss Off Men would make a great coffee table book if you’re looking for a fun conversation starter or just want to make your friends and family laugh. It’s a light and breezy listen, but the strongest moments come when humour and heart combine. I'd definitely be willing to listen to more of Kyle and his mom just chatting and giving advice!
