Product Information

being attractive, being desirable, having the approval of the male gaze rest upon us is so tied up with our self-esteem that we find it hard to really believe that we'd be okay without the approval of men who don't see us as fully human." Babe, I thought you were chill. Why are you being so sensitive? You know I like you.” (Do I, though, Derek? Do I?) You don't have to play up to expectations or play down your worth. Because you are always enough, and you'll never be too much for the people who will love you right."

On Android: I’m so frogging 😋 happy that this book has found me in this moment of my life. It’s something I truly needed to reflect on and many things I needed to experience to genuinely feel like this is a translation for all the frogged up things I’ve experienced.The latter said he had spent 1.725 billion dollars (about 1.4 billion euros) to buy the Korean company. Trying to be what some men imagine as a ‘normal girl’ is an unsustainable feat. You might manage it for years, but eventually, you’ll start being more you. And he won’t like that. Worse than that, by dimming your own light or shining it all on him, you’ll never feel seen or loved as the whole person you are. And that shit is soul destroying, trust me.”

Do you have any dating books that you've found to be helpful? Please sendmeyour recommendations. I'd love to hear about them! Tinder Translator is a hilarious and revealing feminist commentary on dating apps and the patriarchy, from Aileen Barratt of @TinderTranslators. I am the person! Aileen Barratt, I'm a writer and digital marketer based in Manchester, UK. I like in a lovely house with my son, who is almost 7, and I was on dating apps (well, on and off them) for about 3 years. At times it can be soul destroying being on there - so much grossness, line-crossing sex talk when you haven't consented, and general dullness. I started Tinder Translator because I kept noticing patterns of language, common phrases that don't mean what they say. A prime example of this is "just looking for some fun" - fun means casual sex with no further expectations. And there's nothing wrong with casual sex, but just say that's what you want! It also made it less depressing when I'd come across an awful profile; instead of despairing about the state of men I could think "this will make great content". I think that some of the people who send me bios feel that way too now, they can screenshot and send them in, and share in the despair/laugh at it all. Laughter is powerful! What is the biggest impact of what you do?

What these men count as drama is, for the most part, the natural progression of a relationship. At first, it won’t be a problem. It’s actually emotionally sensible not to dive headfirst into an all-consuming love affair with a stranger. For centuries it was used to describe a female-only neurotic condition, and by the 19th century, it was a medical term for women who displayed signs of distress, anger or depression. The men who characterise normal behaviour and needs as dramatic and, by implication, ugly and unattractive, often manipulate women into repressing those parts of themselves entirely – because you want to keep him interested and he told you from the outset he doesn’t like drama. The Covid-19 epidemic making real meetings difficult, dedicated applications have been forced to adapt.

The 10 funniest things I’ve seen on this internet, you say? No problemo. I’ve been training for this for quite a while. All those nights scrolling TikTok and giggling to myself before suddenly realising it is hideously late? They were research! In your face, circadian rhythms! I’m not going to sit here and write all these adjectives and preach about this book like a religious script (nothing against religion btw), without noting that if I had read this book a year, two or even five years ago, I would have felt this enlightened. Nope!

As a dating and relationship coach, I read a lot of books on dating and many are filled with misguided nonsense about understanding men better and loving yourself more. Aileen Barratt’s book, Tinder Translator is a welcomed relief from all of that pablum. Tinder Translator is a hilarious and revealing feminist commentary on dating apps and the patriarchy, from Aileen Barratt of @TinderTranslators. Ten years after the introduction of Tinder, dating apps have changed the terrain of human interaction, but many feel like they've been sent into the wilderness without a guide. For those dating cis-het men especially, the blatant misogyny encountered during every swipe session is depressing and enraging in equal measure.

Tinder Translatoris your hilarious andempoweringfeministcompanion to the world ofonlinedating apps, the patriarchyandself-love from Aileen Barratt of @TinderTranslators. She makes the argument that it is healthier for women to date from a place of knowing what they want instead of being “not sure” or waiting to “see what happens” and that if a guy isn’t sure what he wants that you will save yourself a lot of heartache if you swipe left and look for someone who is better able to articulate their needs and expectations. I couldn’t agree more!
