How to Date Men When You Hate Men by Blythe Roberson

Product Details

About the Book

How to Date Men When You Hate Men is a comedy-philosophy book from New Yorker and Onion writer and comedian Blythe Roberson, examining what it truly means to date men within the trappings of modern society. Despite its title, this isn't a conventional dating advice book — it's a witty, deeply honest exploration of the confusing, often absurd experience of navigating crushes, flirting, dating, and heartbreak as a woman living under patriarchy, conceived by Roberson as a modern, comedic response to Roland Barthes's A Lover's Discourse.

With chapters covering crushes, flirting, dating, "psychic wounds," getting serious, breaking up, being single, and making art, Roberson blends sharp observational humor with genuine philosophical reflection, skewering her own worst dating decisions while never losing sight of the real, often exhausting dynamics at play between men and women. Featuring standout sections like "Real Interviews With Men About Whether Or Not It Was A Date," "Good Flirts That Work," "Bad Flirts That Do Not Work," and a memorable takedown of You've Got Mail, the book manages to be laugh-out-loud funny while candidly excavating real pain and frustration. Equal parts hilarious memoir, feminist critique, and pop-culture commentary, How to Date Men When You Hate Men speaks to anyone who has ever wondered, mid-date, "wait, is this actually a date?"
