Publisher's summary

Real dating stories of a below-average guy.

A humorous self-help book filled with tales from the author who came out of a three-year relationship and was completely clueless as how to navigate the emerging trend of modern digital dating. The reader will not only get just the tips but also some hilarious, self-deprecating stories that you can laugh at or commiserate with - or both!

Let's face it, for some guys, it's much easier to be in the dating game if you're naturally sociable, tall, and handsome. But for the majority of us, it can be quite the herculean task. Let this tastefully vulgar book become your guide!

Funny yet informative

If you are new to online dating, this is a must read. Author describes his experiences of online dating with stories and facts.
As someone who is currently using online dating, I can relate to most of his stories. It is somewhat funny how parallel some of his are to mine.

This book is short enough for the reader to knock out quickly. Overall performance by the narrator was good.

I look forward to future products of this author.

Great book for people getting back into dating!

I've lived through a lot of similar situations as the author, and only wish this book was around when I got back into online dating! A lot of these things sound absurd (Ghosting, Fhosting) until it happens to you; and you find yourself overthinking the situation and over-analyzing every text again and asking, "are we adults really still this immature?"

The answer is that yes we are, and this books presents a lot of those ideas in a hilarious way. I liked that there's a lot of psychology as far as the, "why do people often act/react this way?" It looks at behavior in the context of culture, societal expectations, and the shifting current norms; through a filter of an introvert's perspective. Presenting it that way is excellent, and avoids the sort of generalizations similar books fall into.

Definitely worth a listen, especially if online dating is new to you!

Hilarious encounters with the opposite sex in the modern dating world!

If you’re a guy aged 18-30 or a “gal” looking for an entertaining read, you’ll find entertainment and educational value to this KC Stone soon-to-be classic. As a male in my late 30s, I was intrigued from the start to see what this book was all about. It’s interesting to learn what most men have to go through in their 20s these days. I think KC Stone is very relatable to young men that are looking to date young women in the modern dating world; ie. with dating apps, etc. KC didn’t hold back when it came to certain words he used to describe his sexual encounters. It makes it funnier. I personally never used dating apps growing up, so it was funny to hear KC’s encounters with random girls he would meet online and go out with. At the same time, it was interesting to learn what most girls seem to be looking for in a boyfriend these days. In the end, KC Stone seems like a cool guy and is deserving to find love; which I’m sure he will. If you’re a college aged guy or girl, I think you’ll like this book and you’ll probably even learn a thing or two about the opposite sex. If you happen to be older like myself, I think you’ll find this book quite entertaining and worth checking out. 5 Stars!
