Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Lauren

All the thoughts I’ve ever had on love written so beautifully in one book! Equal partnership is the goal and it was so refreshing to hear the case made for authentic dating rather than games and strategies for deception. Mostly, I loved how much Hope was packed into this book. Love is out there for......more

Goodreads review by Shannon

This book was pretty interesting! The author conducted a few years of qualitative research related to smart successful women and the men who do (or don't) date them and why or why not. I'm not trying to be full of myself at all; I was warned that after earning a PhD, it would be challenging to date.......more

Goodreads review by Kati

Honestly one of the better books I’ve read on dating. It gave me a lot of perspective on how men think and feel and gave me a little more confidence to step back. 2021 review: time for a reread because it’s two years—oh no, it’s three!—later and I’m still looking for Mr. Right. Covid didn’t help my s......more
