MAXIM: What is this book, and why do I want to read it while I'm shitting.
AARON KARO: Right around thirty, girls become desperate for guys to get down on one knee – meanwhile guys are still desperate for girls to get down on both knees. This book is my tribute to guys who pledge to remain unattached even while everyone around them is getting married. It’s my defense of bachelorhood, you might say. Some people dream about settling down, others scheme about hooking up. I’m the latter.
AK: That women are opposed to one-night stands. Most women don’t actually mind one-night stands, they just don’t want it to feel like one. So if there’s a chick you’ve been digging and you know you’re gonna see her at a party next weekend, start sending her texts a few days before – I call that laying groundwork. That way when you try to take her down, in her mind you’ve been flirting for a week – and she’ll be more receptive to your inappropriate advances.
AK: Not anymore. Mostly because my boys don’t get very creative when they’re thinking of girls to set me up with. Once one of my frat buddies asked if I wanted to meet this chick he thought was really hot. I was like, “Sure, how do you know her?” He said, “Oh, I fucked her.” Well, that’s not really thinking outside the box. Literally.
M: What’s the most disappointing part about all your buddies getting married?
AK: That they've actually convinced themselves that "nothing is gonna change." That's what all my boys say just before they walk down the aisle: "Don't worry bro, I'm still gonna hang out." That shit is a lie. Your friendship will never be the same again. You can still be close, but once you plan a trip to Vegas or Mardi Gras and he tells you he has to ask his wife first, well, that's pretty much the end of that. Single guys never ask permission to do anything, and we can't hang out with those who do.
M: What’s the best part about going to your friends’ weddings?
AK: I like the little program they give you when you arrive for the ceremony. It lists all the bridesmaids and that’s basically like my menu for the evening. I wish there was more info on the program though – like each bridesmaid’s relationship status, weaknesses, and sexual proclivities.
M: Why do you think single guys make better employees?
AK: It goes back to never having to ask permission. If the boss needs someone to stay late, or accompany him to the strip club, the single guy is always available – because he doesn’t have to answer to a pouting wife or girlfriend. If you ever hear the dude in the next cubicle got engaged, you should congratulate yourself – you’re about to crush that poor sap while he’s out shopping for place cards.
M: In the book, you ultimately conclude that single people make better married people. Say what now?
AK:I believe that the longer you’re single before getting married, the better off you’ll be when you do finally take the plunge. The fact is, being alone is an incredible opportunity to learn about yourself. Unless you’ve spent years drinking your inhibitions away, putting yourself out there, experiencing the thrill of one-night stands, and coping with the agony of rejection, how can you really know yourself? Waking up next to your wife every morning must be twice as reassuring after you’ve spent ten years waking up next to chicks you have to introduce yourself to.
M: Did you have sex with any of the five models on the book cover?
AK: No, but I sure tried. And that's half the fun.
