We thought we've reached rock-bottom when reading dating culture books before, but somehow we broke through and found a new bedrock of low-quality dreck to discuss. Unfortunately, this one is perhaps the most popular dating book in the world right now and far far too many people have already read it and walked away with some of the worst hot takes ever put to paper.
This is part one of a multi-part critique of Myron Gaines' first (and hopefully last) manifesto. There is so much wrong with every assertion in this book that we might spend anywhere between 5 and 10 1-hour episodes breaking down his claims. This part explores the background of the author's podcast and how this got written, the horrible formatting and scam that is the length, the possibility Myron didn't actually write this, and the nonsense contained within the first two chapters. Buckle up.

This month we made a donation to activist Erin Reed's substack, which is doing an amazing job tracking and drawing attention to trans legislation. Not to be bleak or anything, but we're in a genocide right now, y'all. Send her some money here.
