It’s a lot of jargon that makes it hard for me to read through as quickly as other genres. Also some of the authors tidbits and sarcasm in parenthesis make an already long chapter even longer. I don’t mind a personalized touch but it’s frustrating when you already account for a longer book. I wish that chapters would have been shortened some. 

Also at times it read like a research paper—not opposed but not what I expected either. I did like how the chapters were broken up to describe each type of person, it helped show the variety in the topic. This is my second Dnf bc I could feel the slump coming along but it really isnt a bad book just slower paced

The first half of the book was more informative on how various men’s groups work and attract people - did sometimes get repetitive, and covered information that I already know/live through. 

The stuff on young men actually becoming less progressive did give me nightmares
