Publisher's Summary

Forty million people in the US have tried Internet dating, which means 40 million people have probably gone on some pretty crappy dates. Not a Match: My True Tales of Online Dating Disasters is about one guy who experienced more than his fair share. Brian Donovan, a writer and comedian whose work has appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, NPR, and Chapelle's Show, has been on over 100 Internet dates in a genuine search for love and happiness.

Not it.

Nope. The book is obviously outdated, but that was expected given the year it was published. I was hoping for some interesting and funny insight into the evolution of dating apps from their start on actual websites to the hot mess that they are today. This book just felt like a guy complaining that good-looking women weren’t into him, using the women he wasn’t into for entertainment and research and giving women terrible advice on ‘what men like’ and how to come across for men to be interested in you. Also borderline shamed one good-looking woman for getting lots of matches (or emails at the time). I get that he’s had some bad dating experiences, and that’s valid. But the solution isn’t to coach men on how to trick women into responding to and dating them OR giving women unsolicited advice on how to make ourselves attractive to men. Bottom line? It’s a huge no from me.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
