The authors kind of sound like judgy jerks most of the time. And see things through a pretty narrow lens. But if you're really socially awkward, some of their advice might be what you need to hear and what your friends (or past dates) are too uncomfortable to tell you.

The whole book centers on the idea that people should be able to just go on dates to get to know one another (concept!). And when you put more pressure than that on the date, you're fucking up your chances of a good date (also what a concept!). And to be your best self/become the kind of person you'd want to date (also what a concept!).

Ah dating. Yech. At least the book is funny and seems to be well intentioned. It's missing a chapter on how to deal with creeps and lurkers and made it uber clear to me that I will never, ever participate in internet dating.

A fast and fluffy airport read: partly irritating, partly thought-provoking, wholly entertaining. It's probably mostly right about heterosexual dating given the gender norms we have. Here's to hoping that my hypothetical children and grandchildren will no longer find it relevant.

I needed to hear that at the time.

Got it for my daughter, read it myself first. With its frankness, it's probably a good inoculation against the dating advice you would receive by osmosis if, for example, you binge-watched all of "Friends". Sometimes a third-party message is more effective in areas like this.

The third and last book I've read by Greg Behrendt. I can see the same type of humor he wrote into Sex & the City. This book, too, was not as good as "He's just not into you", but definitely better that the one about break-ups - just more / better jokes (or maybe it's just that I could relate better to dating issues than break-ups?).
Anyway, a light, entertaining read but I was expecting a little bit more.

This was an okay book, with a lot of insights, although I think that it could have been shorter. I also cringe on the defense of feminists everywhere when I read parts of it, but all in all, I do think the authors make a lot of sense.

I don't know how I feel about this.

Fairly interesting

I’m not trying to punish the author for this book. It’s just umm nice to know that dating isn’t perfect. Also, people aren’t that perfect either. Now I bet you would ask why a guy read this book? He has his bros to teach him...well not really. I was purely curious about what this book has to offer about dating itself. the author does certainly have some good ideas. Even if I haven’t dated for long while now. He offered some good pointers about timing, thoughts, and how to gauge things out.
