I would say if you follow Tinx on socials, you’ve probably heard 70% of the takes in this book and can skip this one. However I can appreciate that the book’s spirit is generally uplifting & would recommend it to those who need a bit of a “shift”

This is a book about dating, not a book about "snagging a man." I enjoyed this book because it is unlike most popular self-help books on the market right now. It feels like a lot of self-help hates it's audience. It spends a lot of time tearing down the audience and then trying to sell people a solution for the problem they just created. I didn't get those vibes from this book. It felt like the author was genuinely trying to be helpful. When I saw the tagline "change your mindset, not yourself" I knew I had to pick this book up. I also loved that this book didn't have anything about manifestation.
One thing I disliked about the book was the weakness of the arguments. There were several chapters where I didn't agree with the premises, but I did agree with the conclusion. Then there were other chapters that read like rough drafts. Like the body image one where she starts by talking about her experience with eating disorders, how she used to body shame others because she hated herself, and then how toxic positivity ignores the really body image issues people face. She then concludes that liking your body "for what it can do" is better than loving your body "no mater what." I am left scratching my head at this. How did she draw this conclusion? She never mentions "what your body can do for you" any where in this chapter. The chapter where she discusses when she got "canceled" (she doesn't use this term, thank god) was similarly all over the place.
Tinx is a professional TickToker. I have never seem her TickToks and I am not trying to because I have a bad feeling I won't like them and then I won't like the content of this book as much. I don't know if this is worth addressing, but she has evidently been accused of hating men. I don't think she *hates* men but it's a bit telling that she replies with "I don't hate men, I love to flirt and have sex with them." Like, girl, your critics aren't questioning your sexuality. We all know misogynistic men who date/have sex with women. Women can do the same thing. Not that I'm calling her misandrist. But I do think she's a bit of a "manizer", if that's a thing. Maybe she's a pioneer in the genre. She seems to just view men as a group of people to have sex with. She doesn't explicitly state that she doesn't believe that men and women can't be friends but it's clear that she has 0 intentions to do so.
This book is very irreverent which could get annoying (at one point she actually quotes a workout tank) but at a time when everyone is doom and gloom about the state of dating it's nice to hear a different perspective. I am an anxious introvert so I probably wont Tinxify my life any time soon, but I do hope some of her vibes stay with me, like glitter.
