I got it - I'm not gonna lie, when I saw the book title, cover, and idea, I kind of snorted at the idea. "Lol okay sure"
Online dating, social media, pornography, and corporate mass media have screwed up our relationships in ways we don't even comprehend. Like if you look around the relationship scene with very open and focused eyes, it's horrendous how terrible things have become, it's actually disgusting and makes me kind of disillusioned with women; all I see with most women is a future based on lust alone and nothing else (which anyone who doesn't have the mental state of an adolescent will see as hugely problematic, especially as you get older in age), or a woman who "settles" for me but will probably divorce me 10 years from now after she misses her "glory days" in college and decides, during her midlife crisis, to cheat on me in the most disgusting ways possible.
And somehow this is "acceptable", and talking to some women online, they get really, really angry when you describe relationships like this. It's actually pretty funny when women get so mad that they feel the need to defend their relationships, yet by doing so they admit that it needs to be defended.
I was worried in this book, that you would be completely blind to how screwed up our world is in the realm of male and female relationships as of recently. I was also worried you would go for the "one size fits all" approach that clearly doesn't work.
You aren't though, you are very down to earth; not only do you account for a lot of the bs that's happening, but you realize that this book isn't a one size fits all.
And I'm incredibly impressed by that. It's been a good read so far, but it's been piecemeal in terms of application.
