I bought both of Gottlieb's books at the same time because I was so excited to read the newest one. I hated it. So I read this one. Go figure. The topic was intriguing so I finished despite many many eyerolls. The book is mostly common sense and all the phenomena she alludes to have basic causes--evolution and biology! Women of every species are pickier because they have to make sure the guy sticks around when they get saddled with his eggs. Also, it's a bummer but our fertility window is also smaller. So a few women will miss the window. Sounds like the author did--but she was able to use technology to have a baby. Good for her--but then she goes on to blame feminism for this problem. Even though she clearly says that her gag factor was too high for men, she claims feminism made her do it. I want to give her argument her due--she's right--people (not just women) have overly romantic views of marriage. Marriage is not meant to fulfill all of your wildest fantasies and no man is perfect. Sure. Just get married, she says. Ok, but she doesn't really mean it because no one would just marry someone they were grossed out by and Gottlieb seems to be grossed out by most men. Like her other book, the author apparently got a book contract and wrote about the thing she was most concerned with at the moment and threw in some interviews with behavioral economists to make it legit and some anti-feminist rants to make some sales.
