The #1 New York Times Bestseller “An engaging look at the often head-scratching, frequently infuriating mating behaviors that shape our love lives.” —Refinery 29 A hilarious, thoughtful, and in-depth exploration of the pleasures and perils of modern romance from Aziz Ansari, the star of Master of None and one of this generation’s sharpest comedic voices At some point, every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it’s wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history. With technology, our abilities to connect with and sort through these options are staggering. So why are so many people frustrated? Some of our problems are unique to our time. “Why did this guy just text me an emoji of a pizza?” “Should I go out with this girl even though she listed Combos as one of her favorite snack foods? Combos?!” “My girlfriend just got a message from some dude named Nathan. Who’s Nathan? Did he just send her a photo of his penis? Should I check just to be sure?” But the transformation of our romantic lives can’t be explained by technology alone. In a short period of time, the whole culture of finding love has changed dramatically. A few decades ago, people would find a decent person who lived in their neighborhood. Their families would meet and, after deciding neither party seemed like a murderer, they would get married and soon have a kid, all by the time they were twenty-four. Today, people marry later than ever and spend years of their lives on a quest to find the perfect person, a soul mate. For years, Aziz Ansari has been aiming his comic insight at modern romance, but for Modern Romance, the book, he decided he needed to take things to another level. He teamed up with NYU sociologist Eric Klinenberg and designed a massive research project, including hundreds of interviews and focus groups conducted everywhere from Tokyo to Buenos Aires to Wichita. They analyzed behavioral data and surveys and created their own online research forum on Reddit, which drew thousands of messages. They enlisted the world’s leading social scientists, including Andrew Cherlin, Eli Finkel, Helen Fisher, Sheena Iyengar, Barry Schwartz, Sherry Turkle, and Robb Willer. The result is unlike any social science or humor book we’ve seen before. In Modern Romance, Ansari combines his irreverent humor with cutting-edge social science to give us an unforgettable tour of our new romantic world.

The best advice I can give you is to read everything over once. If you can, do it in one sitting, then re read it again. Then, read the sections again that you are not sure about, and if you can, get someone else to read it as well, and both of you make notes. There are plenty of website links in this book so it probably is best to read this book while you are online so you can see exactly what I'm talking about through out the book.

What Makes The Ultimate Online Dating Book Different from Other Books on this Subject? The Ultimate Online Dating Guide: Secrets of How Savvy Women Find Great Matches has a unique twist that sets this book apart from others of its type. Ms. MacGowan came to the conclusion that many of the shortcomings that exist in Internet dating can be resolved by using proven business techniques from the recruiting and hiring of workers. Her skills in attracting the right mate or the right talent are enhanced with extensive background in human resource and skills as a journalist. The Ultimate Online Dating Guide modifies the recruitment tools from business into an easy-to-use guide for "recruiting, selecting and managing" great Internet dates. Why Does The Ultimate Online Dating Book use this Approach? These techniques are shown to be easily adaptable to dating and relationships. They dramatically increase the odds of finding a great match while having an enjoyable, interesting and safe dating experience. The Ultimate Online Dating Guide coaches readers through a step-by-step process of self-discovery that defines what's important to them in a great Internet date and to naturally attract and choose men who share their interests, values, attitudes and personality traits. Ms. MacGowan teaches readers basic principles of advertising and writing. Strategies for finding and choosing men (recruiting and selection) are extensively covered. How to analyze men's behavior to choose the best matches draws on how recruiters analyze human behavior to find the best workers. The Internet is quickly becoming one of the best ways of meeting new dates. Its rapid growth proves that it's not only acceptable but also preferable. Women can broaden their visibility and meet men they wouldn't otherwise have had an opportunity to meet. It's increasingly important to get the right man's attention for successful dating because there are now millions of men browsing these ads. However, women need to learn how to use this wonderful new resource correctly to fully reap its benefits. Internet dating without sound back-up principles can be compared to buying an item on eBay without knowing how to compare prices, assess an item's quality or knowing the strategies of bidding. The Ultimate Online Dating Book Women Approach to Internet Dating After the self-discovery process, the reader develops her ad using her interests in the headline to attract men who share these interests. But many women have trouble with creative writing. Ms. MacGowan shows them how to use advertising headlines from women's magazines to construct an appealing, attention-grabbing headline that attracts men. Ms. MacGowan includes examples of well-written ads for the reader to use as models. A great photo attracts. Tips that get results are covered as well as how to "read" men's photos. The reader also learns how to organize her email responses so she won't get her correspondents mixed up. Next is the advantage of creating "canned" responses that guide her in what to say about herself. She sees them as a timesaver that will provide consistency to her responses to men's emails. "Strip 'em Naked Questions, or Finding the Man beneath the Facade" is an unusual approach to analyzing men's responses. Each serious of questions, there are over 100 to choose from, begins with a hard-hitting discussion of what a woman should think about when she reads, and later, hears a man's answer. She'll learn if he has attitude, personality or behavior problems. Now it's time to learn about "problem" personality types. There are 16 whimsical personalities to avoid, which are described. A practice session reading and critiquing men's ads ties it nicely together in "The Devil's in the Emales, You've Got Tails." Let's conduct a "telephone interview"! Recruiters do this using prepared questions. In this chapter, Ms. Mac
