You'd think that as a mid twenties priviledged but feminist white woman (like the author) I'd love this book. Unfortunately, I found it to be one of the most irritating books I've ever read. This girl is more obsessed with Harry Styles than any adult should be and wrote a book about dating even though she stated herself that she doesn't date. She referred to every guy she's ever kissed as an ex (ridiculous) and I didn't find her funny or relatable. What a waste of an amazing title.
This book was good and funny but a great deal of the "advice" was too niche and not relevant unless you're exclusively dating men in your social circle in a big city, like the author. There was some great commentary on the larger social dynamics of dating men as a whole but ultimately I didn't take much away from reading this.
Hilarious and oh-so-relatable, How to Date Men When You Hate Men is the ultimate collection of millenial dating triumphs and woes. Full review: https://sarahsreads.home.blog/2019/11/07/how-to-date-men-when-you-hate-men-by-blythe-roberson/
The title is a lie, read this if you are obsessed with men because that's what this book is about.
How to Date Men When You Hate Men was a hilarious satirical advice book that managed to secretly tuck in a bunch of revelations about all of the insidious ways the patriarchy affects heterosexual dating. By the end, it felt like Roberson was a dear friend (not just because she references Harry Styles as often in her book as I surely would if I, too, had written a book).
This book has its moments, but is mostly just exhausting
This book is freaking hilarious! Sitting on the train reading this felt like talking to Blythe over drinks. I laughed out loud in public reading this book. Roberson does a great job of tying together a conversational style of writing with research, articles and books to back up her point. It's like talking through a dissertation with a PhD student: both hilarious and informative!
