"From the authors of F*ck Feelings, a seriously irreverent roadmap of the essentials to look for when you're done being suckered by the promise of true love and want help seeking a real, lasting relationship. Many people have opinions on the subject of romantic relationships - why they're so hard to find, so difficult to maintain, so easily analogized to planets and pets - but the real source of trouble is that we are choosing our partners based on love, excitement, lust, attraction, neediness - on feelings. Instead of helping readers find true love (also known as "total bullshit"), Dr. Michael Bennett and his comedy-writing daughter Sarah reveal the practical, commonsense criteria for good partnerships that will allow real love to develop, even after the romance has died down or been buried completely. Finding a good partner involves losing preconceived notions about who your dream date might be, so the Bennetts helpfully appraise the pros and cons of eight traits people most commonly seek: charisma, beauty, chemistry, communication, sense of humor, family stability, intelligence, and wealth. They suggest you'll have better luck finding a partner in a bar, online, or on a date arranged by your chiropractor if you focus on ideas like mutual attraction and respect and common interests and common goals. Dr. Michael I. Bennett is a board-certified psychiatrist. His daughter, Sarah Bennett, has written for magazines, the Internet, television, and books"--Provided by publisher.
