When she did stumble into longer-term entanglements, she doubted whether they were right. Nearly a decade later, Blythe is in her thirties and has fallen in love. She has achieved a good night’s sleep in the same bed as a man. She has gone on hormonal birth control, gotten HPV, and then beaten HPV. She has cleaned a man’s house, supported a man through grief, laid on a man’s chest in bed while he whispered, \"On the count of three let’s both say our social security numbers.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut with her relative youth and all its undefined potential in the rearview mirror, Blythe must figure out what she actually wants from dating. And in finding out what she will and won’t do to be one-half of a couple, she finds one fully formed self—a self in pursuit of pleasure, kindness, and integrity. Returning to the page in her singular, comedic, and now slightly older and wiser voice, Blythe makes readers feel less alone as they deal with the pain—and the many pleasures—of loving men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut more than a book about heartbreak or pain, this is a book about triumphs. It’s a book about finding love and learning what love is worth. After years of trying to convince men she was easy-going and not trying to pressure anyone into anything, and after years of trying to convince herself she didn’t need anything from a man and was okay just seeing where things led organically, Blythe lost all shame about her desire to love someone and to be loved. \u003ci\u003eHow To Love Men When You Hate Men\u003c\/i\u003e is about the trials and the glories of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Funny, Genuine Follow Up: \u003c\/b\u003eA humorous but sincere exploration of love and commitment, and all the heartbreak they entail, by the author of \u003ci\u003eHow to Date Men When You Hate Men\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAmerica the Beautiful? \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom Questioning Love to Celebrating Love:\u003c\/b\u003e In her first book, \u003ci\u003eHow to Date Men When You Hate Men,\u003c\/i\u003e Roberson wrote candidly about crushes, hooking up, and dating, even as she questioned whether relationships were right for her.
