If you’ve ever stared at a dating profile and thought, “Something’s off here… but what?”, this book was written for you.
Swipe Left is the witty, no-nonsense dating guide that does what your girlfriends wish they could: call out the red flags hiding in plain sight. Author Nancy Lee Gulbrandsen spent years navigating the wild world of online dating apps, and what started as a poem she wrote on her daily walks turned into nearly 100 male dating archetypes, each one dissected, decoded, and served up with sharp humor and hard-won wisdom.
Meet Catch-of-the-Day Carl, Gym Rat Jake, Ghosting Gary, Breadcrumbing Brad, and dozens more characters you’ve definitely encountered (and probably dated). Each archetype is presented in Nancy’s signature style: funny enough to make you laugh out loud, honest enough to make you wince in recognition, and practical enough to actually change how you swipe.
This isn’t a book about hating men. It’s a book about knowing yourself well enough to stop settling for profiles (and people) that don’t deserve your time. But this book goes deeper than the laughs. “Swipe Left” is jam packed with real talk about modern romance and actionable advice for the post-relationship woman re-entering the dating world. This essential tool is part survival guide, part therapy session, and 100% your new best friend.
It’s written for the woman who’s been around the block, knows what she wants, and is done wasting her weekends on guys who list “Netflix and chill” as a personality. She’s smart, she’s savvy, and she’s ready to date on her own terms.
Perfect for readers of Matthew Hussey, Greg Behrendt, and anyone who has ever screenshotted a bad dating profile to send to their group chat, Swipe Left is the book the online dating industry doesn’t want you to read.
