Book ReviewBook Recommendation! : 30 Reasons Why Men Deserve Nothing by Imani Forester
REVIEW: 30 Reasons why Men Deserve Nothing
By Imani Forester.
10/10 (or 30/30)!
This was a concise, well-written dating manifesto that describes in plain terms why women need to prioritize themselves by raising their standards and enforcing healthy boundaries. After defining the terms in the introduction, Forester provides 30 common sense reasons why men aren’t worth settling DOWN for.
Here are a few (you’ll need to get the book to get the rest)
#1 : “if you build him, he will leave.
#7 : “Your Health depends on his wealth”
#17: “Because they told you to ‘Choose better’”
#21 : “a man is only as good as his current status, Not his Potential”
And my personal favorite
#30 : “Men must build value* and even BUGS know this!”
*she points out that incidentally, men are the ones that obsess over value … we didn’t create the market. We just live here.
She also, wonderfully, provides notes and statistics that support her position. By the end of the book, a woman who is interested in dating will be much better informed ; those who are enjoying separatism will also find a lot of research to support their separatism.
She writes with humour, and her arguments are pretty incontrovertible!
I also watch her YouTube channel - she posts regular responses to current relationship TikTok’s and other women’s issues. Her Channel Imani F. 30 Reasons Why Men Deserve Nothing, @ImaniForester
Check her out ! Buy her book! 📕 it was a great and cathartic and rejuvenating read for me… it feels great to know that if other women are catching on, we may have hope yet.
I think we might all be better off if we returned to arranged marriages and matchmaking, where you are set up with a partner who (theoretically) fulfils your standards, you have a written contract regarding each partner's duties in the partnership, and you come to love each other later, after building a life and family together.
Romantic love and this kind of pragmatic approach to dating don't really play well together. Romantic love has a tendency to make us fall for entirely the wrong people.
Your post makes a lot of sense, I wish the people who downvoted you would argue their case.
I know quite a few people in arranged marriages, and these marriages have been no more or less successful than the marriages I know of that were contracted for love. I think the people downvoting me are assuming I mean a system where the woman has no say and is handed over like a piece of property. That hasn't happened in the arranged marriages I have seen. In all of them, various previously-vetted suitors presented themselves and it was the woman who had the final yay or nay. One of my friends took five years to find the right guy.
