How to Date Men When You Hate Men

Product Information

When I was reading this book in a café, a man in his early 20s recoiled at the sight of the book jacket. When she considers how she would feel if a man wrote about her, she muses that being a muse would be pretty cool, and it doesn’t seem to occur to her that there should be a trade-off here. In fact, according to Roberson, dating men while hating men often means understanding the societal structures that have enabled women to think about men and dating a lot. If you are still wondering how to get free PDF EPUB of book How to Date Men When You Hate Men by Blythe Roberson. Blythe manages to not only laugh at the pain of holding these two truths at once, but to find meaning, inspiration and empowerment in it.

When you're inside a giant societal trend, it can be hard to see that something big is happening and [easy to] instead feel like a disgusting goblin because you've failed to trap a man," Roberson says. Whether or not you have a partner doesn’t matter—what matters is that you find joy in everyday life doing whatever you’re doing. You don’t need a man or a woman or a relationship status to be deemed “worthy” of things, especially a joyful life. Nothing in life lasts,” she says, citing the end of “Game of Thrones” and the collapse of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum’s marriage as evidence.Blythe Roberson’s sharp observational humor is met by her open-hearted willingness to revel in the ugliest warts and shimmering highs of choosing to live our lives amongst other humans.

And of course, there are men who I have kissed and cared about or who I am dying to kiss and care about.The current, very overdue acknowledgment of widespread sexual harassment, paired with an increase in the number of women who are able to support themselves, paired with a million other things, means we’re experiencing large-scale social change in how we date, how we structure our lives, how genders interact, and in what “gender” even means, if it in fact exists at all!

Roberson doesn’t have a vendetta against men, only an understandable wish that they would be clear about their intentions and then take action. Interspersed are comedy pieces that build to no particular point but that I included for fun and because the world needs to know that Tom Hanks is the villain of You’ve Got Mail.I wanted to see if, by understanding the idea of dating, I’ll be more open to it and more open to men and seeing them in a better light. It’s easy to feel confused about how dating is supposed to go and/or worthless because you feel like you’re not living up to the standard.
