Glamour's "Best Books for Book Clubs to Read" Get unstuck from the patriarchal dark ages and find love once and for all with this feminist guide to navigating the perils and pitfalls of modern dating. It's not your fault that dating sucks, that the patriarchy has screwed up how we find love. From addictive dating apps that were built like slot machines to advice like "Stop being so picky!" (aka "don't trust yourself"), to single women being treated as less than because of their relationship status, dating can be a hot soup of existential exhaustion. In Thank You, More Please, dating coach and founder of Date Brazen, Lily Womble, flips patriarchal dating on its head and challenges you to ask for and get what you want. Lily, who has set up nearly 400 dates, was one of the top matchmakers in the U.S, but in her personal life she was constantly settling for toxic situationships. After growing up in the deep south, a late bloomer who hadn't had a long-term relationship, she'd been labeled "too much," and her deepest fear was that she wasn't qualified for the love and partnership she craved. She needed to learn how not to settle and to attract love on her terms. The steps in this book are exactly the steps Lily took to create a confident and joyful-as-fuck dating life that attracted the love of her life. Then, she broke up with matchmaking to become a feminist dating coach and help hundreds of women do the same. This proven feminist framework will help you create an epic love life, one that attracts more than you thought possible (more, please!). She includes tips on how to:
- ditch the self-blamey, rigid dating advice and start trusting your gut,
- embrace and celebrate your singleness,
- own all your relationship preferences and be powerfully picky,
- date like a feminist and attract the partnership you crave,
- And more!
