One part memoir, one part self-help, with a dash of shrewd social commentary and a liberal dose of snark, Singular Existence is the surefire cure all for your single girl blues. Creator of the popular website, Singularexistence.com,author Leslie Talbot deftly--and hilariously--eviscerates the media fads, self-help quackery, chick lit formula, and bogus social science that plague the unmarried, offering you a refreshingly optimistic perspective on the state of singledom. Essays include: Shallow, Self-Centered, and Opinionated Seeks Opposite (an undercover investigation into the tangled web of online dating) The Rules of Disengagement (a coward"s guide to breakup etiquette) Warning--Contents May Settle (the dire consequences of marital desperation--one woman"s cautionary tale) Deconstructing The Married Guy (a four-point primer on the psyche of the male adulterer) He"s Just a Big Fat A**hole (the real reason he"s "just not that into" you) Manifesto Destiny (a Declaration of Independence for the proudly unmarried) Smart, scathing, and singularly entertaining, Singular Existence proves once and for all that relationships are not the only path to happiness.
