Résumé
There is a woman in a bar tonight who has been hoping someone like you might come in. You are not coming in. You are at home in a shirt you should have retired in 2019, watching a documentary about volcanoes. This is fine, briefly. It is not a strategy. The rules of modern dating have been comprehensively torn up. Nobody told the men. While the men were waiting for instructions, the women got on with it.
In this dispatch from the front line of contemporary adult life, Danny Myers offers a calmly observed, occasionally rude, and reliably funny field guide for the heterosexual man trying to make sense of a romantic landscape that has, in the last fifteen years, replaced almost every assumption he was raised on. From the cafe queue to the bedroom, from the wedding to the buck's night, from the wine bar at eight thirty to the smoker's courtyard at midnight, THE MODERN MAN is the briefing every reasonably decent bloke wishes someone had handed him at twenty eight.
It is not a pickup manual. It is not a podcast. It is a working improvisation by a working participant, who has, for twenty years, been making most of the mistakes himself and writing them down. Across twelve chapters, the book maps a new world in which contraception, female economic independence, the smartphone, the death of the village, and an industrial firehose of free pornography have replaced an old courtship economy that lasted ten thousand years.
It catalogues the tribes the modern man will encounter (the calmly single, the brilliantly divorced, the discontentedly married) and the seven archetypes of woman now operating in any wealthy city. Inside, the modern man will learn:What to say when a fifty year old divorcée decides she is taking him home from a wedding (one sentence; do not improvise). Why his dating app photographs are letting him down (yes, the one with the fish, particularly).
The one correct response to being ghosted (it is short, and it is not at one in the morning). What to do when his girlfriend reveals she has an OnlyFans (whatever he does, he must not negotiate). How to approach a stranger at a Saturday morning farmers' market without being the man the stranger tells her friends about for the wrong reasons. The five small disciplines that, over five years, make him the man women are actually drawn to.
Sharp. Honest. Funny. And almost entirely about how to be slightly less of an embarrassment to himself and the women he would quite like to spend time with. For the bewildered, the brave, and the barely hanging on.
