Ambitious and straightforward, Alexandra aims to make it big in the hotel industry, prompting her to leave her native Uzbekistan and set her sights on New York City, all the while searching for the one whom she could introduce to her traditional Korean family. As she tackles the dating scene—first in New York’s concrete jungle and then in Miami’s palm tree–lined beaches—Alexandra encounters a series of disappointing dates and relationships with men from different cultural backgrounds. What Not to Date recounts sixteen of these experiences, humorously categorized when she attributes the worst qualities of these men to their sperm. There’s Rage Flare Sperm, a sugar mama–seeking playboy with anger management issues and Ivy League Sperm, well-versed in world politics and languages but with an extremely small package. But it’s Athletic Sperm, the one who got away only to return asking for a second chance, who truly challenges Alexandra to confront what she really wants. Always keeping it real with her unapologetic attitude and unfiltered comments, Alexandra offers practical dating advice and invaluable lessons. What Not to Date is a dating manual through the personal account of a woman who realizes that hospitality and dating scenes are not so different—ultimately, they reflect how we welcome people into our lives and how we accommodate their needs and ours.

A research-based guide to navigating the newest dating phenomenon--"the love gap"--and a trailblazing action plan to help smart, confident, career-driven women find (and keep) their match. For a rising generation young women, the sky is the limit. Women can be anything and have everything. They are outpacing their male peers in higher education and earning the corner office at work. Smart, driven, assertive women are succeeding at just about everything they do--except romance. Why are so many men afraid to date smart women? Modern men claim to want smarts, success, and independence in romantic partners. Or so says the data collected by scientists and dating websites. If that's the case, why are so many independent, successful women winning in life, but losing in love? Journalist Jenna Birch has finally named the perplexing reason: "the love gap"--or that confusing rift between who men say they want to date and who they actually commit to. Backed by extensive data, research, in-depth interviews with experts and real-life relationship stories, The Love Gap is the first book to explore the most talked-about dating trend today. The guide also establishes a new framework for navigating modern relationships, and the tricky new gender dynamics that impact them. Women can, and should, have it all without settling.
