Self-Help Relationships
The first book of its kind, a smart and provocative look at
modern love and romance through the lens of online dating. In this savvy guide to a fascinating new world, former sex
columnist Virginia Vitzthum goes underground to navigate the
meanings and mores of sex and love on the Web. Using
interviews, anecdotes, and her own experience with online
dating, Vitzthum builds an animated and irreverent narrative
about modern intimacy. How does the path of a relationship
change when it starts with a profile? What do we reveal
about ourselves--our personal lives and our private
preferences--when we look for love online? Who are the
people who actually manage to find happy relationships by
trolling the Web? Success stories, sociopaths, and fearing
the face to face meeting: Vitzthum is an entertaining
decoder of online culture, under all of which lies the
question: What does the Internet do to human relationships?
A compassionate voyeur, Vitzthum approaches her fellow
online daters with an open curiosity that makes her the
perfect guide.
