Review: Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari

cover imageLove in the modern world. The digital world. How has dating evolved in just a few short generations? And what can digital daters expect if they are entering (or re-entering) the dating scene?

According to actor and comedian Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation), daters can expect to encounter a whole new world of possibilities, from the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. From flirting and trying to make romantic connections in our “phone worlds” –  to selecting potential partners with the swipe of a finger using dating apps like Tinder.

The landscape of modern dating extends well beyond physical boundaries to encompass an ever expanding online network. The possibilities for meeting new people seem endless! And yet, despite the apparent ease of finding singles, it’s taking young adults longer and longer to find suitable mates. 

Ansari explains all in his humourous and engaging book, Modern Romance. Lighthearted, but brutally honest, Ansari delves into all sorts of modern relationship issues from sexting and cheating to “international investigations of love.” Find out what Japanese “herbivore” men are and why Argentinian singles don’t even need online dating.

Modern Romance is not only full of hilarious anecdotes, but it’s backed with some real world statistics and sociological insights. In a world flooded with dating handbooks (mostly targeting single women), Ansari’s uniquely male perspective and comical approach is a refreshing spin on conventional dating wisdom.
