‘How To Be A Man’ started as an article in Duff’s Seattle Weekly column and contained some great advice like:
“See people in person: Or at the very least, call.The art of conversation is a dying thing. Man up and sit down for coffee with that person you usually text with. That’s right . . . and look them in the eyes (this may seem totally weird for anyone under 30, I understand).”
“Don’t be a pussy: Don’t shy away from a situation just because it’s tough. If it is protecting the one you love, or things are tough at work . . . pin those ears back and remember who the fuck you are.”
