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!
I saw this book on display in a bookstore, cackled out loud, and said "I MUST HAVE THIS". As a bisexual, the title spoke directly to my soul. However, the actual book wasn't at all what I expected? I thought it would be a serious feminist analysis of gender relations and 21st century dating and the ever-present patriarchy, and there was a little of that, but mostly it was a fun silly memoir (written by someone who, in the very first chapter, admits she's never had an official boyfriend. Uh, false advertising?). So don't expect a "how-to" book here, despite the title. But if you're in the mood for what basically amounts to a collection of funny tweets & blog posts, this is pretty cute and entertaining.
Not the best book but still enjoyable. It felt like reading messages from a friend, which I really liked, but the writing style is definitely better suited for an article then a book. I loved some of the points the author made but then others were a little concerning and I think need to be unpacked in therapy. Overall a fun read, Blythe is hilarious!
Blythe is funny and thoughtful. Also, she is very good at knowing when and where to use exclamation points!
Funny enough, but thin. Could have benefited from research over so much personal experience, to the point the author was writing more about a subject than it warranted. Dragged on for me.
