From comedian, beloved podcast host, and the Betches's favorite guy friend Jared Freid comes a brutally honest, thoughtful, and laugh-out-loud funny dating advice book that offers insight into the minds of men as well as tips, tricks, and tales to make dating feel a bit less frustrating, a tad less lonely, and a lot more fun.
Dating in this day and age is wild.
(Wild enough to make people say “in this day and age” even though it makes them sound like a boomer complaining about QR code menus.)
Most single women will tell you that trying to find love right now is nerve-wracking, frustrating, and absolutely full of fishing pictures. Men are out here texting “u up” at two a.m. while refusing to actually schedule dates. They'll plan a weekend trip but clam up about being a plus one to a wedding. They'll say they're not looking for anything serious but then make a dinner reservation at a place with nice tablecloths and those waiters that are kind of mean but in a way that feels fancy.
How is anyone supposed to tell what's just a part of modern dating and what's a legit red flag?
Enter Jared Freid. From decoding cryptic text messages to surviving first dates and figuring out what that “gym selfie guy” is really thinking, Jared delivers the ultimate guide to modern love.
Dubbed the “Dear Abby for dudes,” Jared brings his sharp humor, podcast expertise, and two decades of single guy experience to this hilarious, relatable, and surprisingly practical manual. With a candid mix of real talk and comedic storytelling, he covers:
- Getting Dates: How to meet people IRL, conquer dating apps (stop hiding your face in pictures!), and set boundaries.
- Hooking Up: Navigating first dates, the “ick,” and intimacy.
- Milestones: Holidays, birthdays, and all the tests of a new relationship.
- Breaking Up: Surviving heartbreak without alienating your friends.
- Loving Singledom: Why being single isn't a red flag-it's a power move.
- Staying Hopeful: Remembering that love is out there, you deserve it, and you don't have to compromise to get it.
Packed with laugh-out-loud dating stories, insightful advice, and a refreshing dose of (sometimes brutal) honesty, Walking Red Flag is your must-have survival guide for today's dating landscape. So get ready to swipe, laugh, learn, and fall back in love...with dating.
