6/23/2023 0 Comments How you date men when you hate menRoberson’s great strengths are her blistering comedic sense and her cringeworthy, unexaggerated insights into her dealings with men. Readers in search of deeply personal revelations should look elsewhere, but those seeking relatable accounts of just how unromantic the pursuits of romance actually are will be richly rewarded. There is no narrative arc (chapters include, among others, “Crushes,” “Flirting,” and “Breaking Up”), catalyst for personal or romantic evolution, or tests of any real consequence for the author. Despite the catchy title, this book is neither a polemic against men nor a navigational how-to tome filled with advice. Roberson, a freelance humorist and researcher at the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, wields generous self-criticism to chronicle the current state of affairs among heteronormative singles on the hunt for love and/or just enough interaction with the opposite sex to keep the conversation about male idiocy going. A frank battle cry from a 20-something woman in the modern-dating trenches of New York City.
