Description

Tinder Translatoris your hilarious andempoweringfeministcompanion to the world ofonlinedating apps, the patriarchyandself-love from Aileen Barratt of @TinderTranslators.

Ten years after the introduction of Tinder, dating apps have changed the terrain of human interaction andhealthy relationships, but many feel like theyve been sent into the wilderness without a guide. For those datingcis-het men especially, the blatant misogyny encountered during every swipe session is depressing and enraging in equal measure. And then there is the not-so-blatant stuff. Scrolling through profile after profile, youll see the same stock phrases:Good vibes only.Must have banter.Just ask.But what do they actuallymean

Through her Instagram account, Aileenhas heard from thousands of people on their dating experiences, in addition to her own years spent on dating apps. This dictionary of douchebaggeryis part reference, part rant and part rallying cry for anyone navigating the sometimes gross and exhausting experience of dating, but also just for everyone who is sick of the patriarchy, whatever their relationship status.A fun small hardback,Tinder Translatoris the perfect gift for friends (or for yourself) whether they'redating or not.It will make you laugh, sigh, think, and leave you feeling empowered and resilient.
