Leiðarvísir í ástamálum / I. Karlmenn

A prescriptive guide for men offering practical counsel on courting and sustaining relationships, grounded in the author's experience. It emphasizes preserving an unblemished reputation, avoiding transactional liaisons, selecting respectable companions, and practising polite, measured behaviour. Detailed etiquette recommendations cover greetings, door and seating manners, helping with outerwear, and street conduct, alongside broader advice on personal hygiene, dress, physical exercise, and balanced leisure. The text urges cultivation of education and tasteful interests, warns against excesses such as compulsive pastimes or gambling, and recommends moderation, courtesy, and moral steadiness as foundations for successful romantic and domestic life.
