AlbakiReads Editorial

Dating, doubt, and the question of what counts

Blythe Roberson frames heterosexual dating as both a source of comic material and a way to examine the social expectations surrounding relationships. The book mixes personal observations about crushes and questionable choices with pieces organized around practical-sounding flirtation advice, interviews about whether an encounter was actually a date, and a playful argument about *You’ve Got Mail*. Its humor is directed at dating’s ambiguities as well as the narrator’s own decisions, while the broader subject is how people navigate intimacy within modern social conventions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in humorous writing about heterosexual dating and modern social expectations.
  • Readers who enjoy dating advice presented through comic sections, interviews, and personal observations.

Book overview

From New Yorker and Onion writer and comedian Blythe Roberson, How to Date Men When You Hate Men is a comedy philosophy book aimed at interrogating what it means to date men within the trappings of modern society.

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. She collects her crushes like ill cared-for pets, skewers her own suspect decisions, and assures readers that any date you can mess up, she can top tenfold. And really, was that date even a date in the first place?

With sections like Real Interviews With Men About Whether Or Not It Was A Date; Good Flirts That Work; Bad Flirts That Do Not Work; and Definitive Proof That Tom Hanks Is The Villain Of You've Got Mail, How to Date Men When You Hate Men is a one stop shop for dating advice when you love men but don't like them.

"With biting wit, Roberson explores the dynamics of heterosexual dating in the age of #MeToo"
-- The New York Times
