Honestly, it’s about time that we’ve done a “book club” type of set up here at The Single One In The Group. And it makes perfect sense that I would choose such a striking title for our first book to discuss.
Of course this is mostly for the ladies out there, but as an equal opportunity “hash it out-er” I’d still love for a few fellas to come out and join us.
The book that we will be reading is by G. L. Lambert and is titled Men Don’t Love Women Like You: The Brutal Truth About Dating, Relationships, and How To Go From Placeholder to Gamechanger.
Bold right?
And if this book is ANYTHING like the blog in which I found out about it from then ladies… brace yourselves to feel all kinds of ways about this sh*t. Every now and then I come across the blog blackgirlsareeasy.com and every single time after reading a post or two I click off the page either with tears in my eyes, needing a d*mn drink, or both.
The articles on that blog are raw, unaldulterated, “Bishhh are you stupid or what?” type of breakdowns of how and WHY are we still out here dating f*ckboys and voluntarily getting our hearts broken.
Soooooo, it was perfectly fitting for me to encourage ya’ll to get this book so that we could all read it and then sit down together and try to figure this sh*t out collectively.
Cuz honestly, the “tolerating f*ckboy sh*t” is played out like a d*mn 8 track and if ya’ll are anything on my mental wavelength right now you’re just not here for it anymore.
So go and buy the book and let’s meet up and break it down. (Buy it here). I am scheduling the 1st meeting a little over 2 weeks away to give you time to order it and read the 1st 7 chapters.
The book is broken into 3 main subcategories: Awaken the Spartan Within, Date Like a Spartan, and Risk the D*ck. So if you’re in NYC here is the scheduling for the 3 Book Club Meetups related to this book.
