How to Date Men When You Hate Men Audible Audio Edition Blythe Roberson Macmillan Audio Books Reviews

• If all funny books written by comedians were ranked by now much they made you want to go into stand-up, Roberson's book would be at the top. Catch me next week at open mics throughout Oklahoma attempting to make jokes about this very topic. To the straight white cisgendered men who've asked me to do emotional labor for them these past 23 years, I'll consider us even (or at least give you a 10% off coupon) if you buy and actually read this book. There will be a test.
• I thought her perspective was different. However a little skewed to her way of life. The insite she gave was frankly a little terrifying and sad. She definitely keeps the men she crushes on at arms length never fully committing to what could possibly be a full on relationship. Which I get she runs the scenarios and determines the out come so she predetermines what could become a fully committed relationship and ends it before fully knowing where it is going.
  
  I thought it was fairly superficial and hypocritical at times. At one point she bashes on the scale, rating and graphing of women but then goes on to rate her own crushes and essentially graph them. I dont have a problem with the rating. I did not think it was consistent to say Men shouldn’t do this but I can. We all weigh the pros and cons differently. If her point was that Men shouldn’t publicly rate/shame women I agree. Keeping your thoughts and place markers for potential partners should not be done in a public forum or in such a way that it could make them feel bad for not living up to your standards.
  
  The book was entertaining and her sarcatic humor was fun. I walked away hoping she finds love and thinking it would be ironic if he was either 10+years her elder or 10+ years her younger due to some of her reactions to the age differences of some of her celebrity crushes partnerships and her thinking it is “gross”.
  I hope she keeps writing as she continues on her journey. Though I didnt always agree with her I loved that we had a lot in common and her humor was a treat.
• Started off as such a great book. The more I read the more I hated it. This book went on it quickly became what it said it wasn't, a how to. Written by someone who claims she's never had a real date, or real boyfriend, while continuing to talk about what seems like her relationships. It's reads like it was written by a teenager.
• This book is hilarious and very relatable even for a middle-ager like me
• I am telling all my friends about this book (I already have). I was seriously laughing out loud at some parts because I found it so funny. I am a 26 year old female and I found the entire book to be extremely relatable; I kept thinking to myself...omg I've totally been through this too! I'm not alone! The entire book was written in colloquial style, which I loved - Blythe feels like my long lost best friend (she just doesn't know it yet). If you're thinking about reading this, DO IT. So happy it brightened up my week! There are several pop culture references I didn't understand because my celebrity knowledge is abysmal and I am not cool, but I just googled my way through the book. Now I feel slightly cooler.
• Blythe says this is not a “how to” book, but I think it offers plenty good advice on how to conceptualize men’s behavior in relation to the patriarchy. So funny I laughed like an idiot in lots of public spaces. That’s a hard thing to do when systematically dismantling the shitty behavior of men! A palatable lesson in feminism.
• this book is more about validation that coping advice. very insightful tho and probably a better read for men bc maybe they would actually learn a thing or two!!!
• First of all this book really does not deliver on the title's promise. I was really excited for this one. It seemed like exactly what any single feminist hetero woman needs a wise guide in learning to make peace with the fact that dating's unwritten rules are built upon the foundation of patriarchy. Instead it feels like a navel-gazing, cringe-y memoir of a woman in her 20s. I made those same cringe-y choices in my 20s, and I also thought it was worth a book. I'm glad that I didn't have the platform to express it when I thought I was so clever.
  
  If this is a memoir, what it's missing in that old equation is time. (Memoir = tragedy + time.) Not enough time has passed for the author to have the perspective needed to really give this subject the weight, time, and effort it deserves. Also lacking are narratives from other women. (Tho, to be fair, haven't finished it. Don't think I can.) Is she elevating any voices of WOC? If she's 'woke,' (ugh that word) this could've been a great platform to offer diverse voices on this subject. Outside of a few clever moments, this book fails to deliver on so many levels.
