Sinopsis
Either you or someone you know has had the conversation, or has been the subject of the conversation: Why don’t I have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Why do I go on all these dates, and rarely do we get past the point of casual? What’s wrong with me—or the mates I’m choosing? UNHOOKED GENERATION is about single men and women ranging from their early twenties to their late thirties who are having unprecedented difficulties finding love. It examines the obstacles facing unattached women and men in a post-divorce, post-feminist, post-internet, post-sexual revolution age—an age when all the choices we have somehow manage to decrease our chances of finding a mate. When cell phones, text-messaging, e-mail, blackberries, speed dating, internet dating—the list multiplies by the day—all conspire to create a sense that there are endless options, it’s easy to think that there could be someone better around the corner. And as the age of first marriage goes up, the level of expectation climbs right along with it, and we start subjecting prospective mates to “the checklist.” From the collapse of courtship and the death of romance; to the ultimatum, or “DTR” (defining the relationship conversation); not to mention the media message that single life is sexy and married life is boring, we have a culture of mixed emotions about the very concept of the mate for life. Confronted by a host of factors that other generations never considered in their search for love and commitment, the UNHOOKED GENERATION faces a potholed road to romance. Rich with engaging anecdotes, and leavened with wit and sharp observation, this is a book that clarifies this confusing, compelling issue as no other book has—and in its final chapter offers concrete advice for addressing the problem in your own life.
