Updating review to reflect this author's misguided views on women and dating. Be better Aziz! This is more 3.5 I really like Aziz Ansari and I am fascinated by dating so I was really interested in reading this book. As a person who met my husband using an Internet dating page back in 1999 before this was common, I was really interested in how the dating scene has evolved. Ansari does not disappoint in this regard and serves up lots of data and anecdotes about the modern dating scene around the globe. What did disappoint was the humor. It felt heavy handed when in print and I can't help but wonder if this might be a better audio book. Overall it's worth reading if you are interested in technology & dating but I'd lean towards suggesting the library instead of a purchase. Entertaining and educational! I'm not single or actively dating, but I was inspired to pick this up because some of my friends were having issues in their love lives, so I bought this on a whim. Turns out, I learned a lot about today's dating world, and handy information in the event I find myself on the market again in the future. There's a lot of truth spoken here, and not all of it is pretty. I've never seen Aziz Ansari's standup performances, but I enjoyed his brand of humor in this book and will definitely check him out now. Well done! I would recommend this to my friends, whether they're single or involved in a relationship. Premi e riconoscimentiMenzioniElenchi di rilievo

HTML: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 unfor Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
