Dating Advice for Men in Perth, Western Australia
Connection in the age of the algorithm. Written in Australia, read in Perth, Western Australia.
Dating is harder than it has ever been, and that is the data, not drama. The structures that used to introduce people have been replaced by apps whose business model depends on you not finding what you're looking for. The Silverback's Guide to Dating is for the bloke who is 24 and single, 47 and divorced, 62 and widowed, or eleven years in and drifting: be a man worth meeting before you go meeting, learn the Four Horsemen and their antidotes, and treat staying in love as a practice. Available to every bloke in Perth, Western Australia tonight, as a PDF.
Twelve chapters, forty principles of love that lasts. Honest profiles, first dates that are conversations rather than performances, the six-month rule for single dads, and the enemy that is not affairs but complacency.
