How many times have you known of an incredible woman, with a romantic life that just falls flat? In a time where apps like Tinder and Bumble are supposed to foster connection, many single women are stuck in a loop of chasing a foggy fairytale that has an unrealistic beginning with an uncertain end. What's more, men have maintained the upper hand in a dating field catered to instant rewards, rather than long-term, healthy relationships. Women interested in romantic connections don't need any more studies or arbitrary advice to know this is true-they need a strategy to gain control over their love lives.
Enter sexologist and intimacy expert Shan Boodram-one of the most trusted voices in the sex, love, and dating space for the past 10 years. Shan has spent her entire career researching dating, desire, and how to turn short-term partnerships into meaningful ones. And now, with her new book THE GAME OF DESIRE: 5 Surprising Secrets to Dating with Dominance-and Getting What You Want (on sale July 23), Shan aims to flip the narrative by placing women in the driver's seat in the dating realm. In this essential how-to guide, she addresses the realities of life today-when the rules of love and attraction are fluid-and teaches a group of five young women how to become master daters in just sixty days.
It starts with you. Shan makes clear that love and self-discovery go hand in hand-your dating life is as much about you as it is about other people. She challenges you to look inside yourself for what you want out of a partner, a relationship and, most important, yourself. Once you figure out what you want from dating, she shows you exactly how to get it. In THE GAME OF DESIRE, you will find:
. A Self-Summary Workbook with quizzes to help determine your attachment style, love language, turn-on triggers, and more.
. Expert advice ranging from optimizing your dating profile, to make-up and fashion tutorials, to feminizing the game of pick-up artistry, to flirting, to self-defense.
. How to create a job description for your ideal romantic partner.
. Bulleted guides on How to Be Seductive, How to Flirt, How to Approach, How to Be Approachable, How to Win Over People, and more.
When Neil Strauss' groundbreaking book The Game hit shelves, many were shocked to learn that men had developed a successful system for attracting women, but no one has created a book with the female response- until now. And while many other books tell women why they can't get a date, Shan teaches the skills and techniques necessary to take charge in today's competitive and often confusing dating scene, providing the tools essential to attract-and retain-the partner(s) you want. Practical, narrative and written with Shan's trademark humor and charm, THE GAME OF DESIRE will be a must-read for every woman struggling to feel loved and desired.
