With technological advances constantly on the rise, the dating game as we know it is forever changing. From watching Aziz Ansari perform as Tom Haverford on Parks and Recreation, and in his own show Master of None, I’ve always felt he was relatable when it came to the dating scene. He tends to always play a character who has no luck when interacting with the opposite sex. Turns out, not only does he play this role on TV, he personally knows how hard it is to be single in today’s society. His journey of becoming an author began when a post-make out text to a girl named Tanya went unanswered for days. The anxiety and confusion of her not replying began to consume him.

He discusses the endless amounts of stress that come with decoding text messages from someone you’re “just talking” with. He explores the process of online dating, and how it often leads to never meeting the person in real life. Finally, he ends with research on how break-ups and cheating have changed in our modern world. Throughout all of these topics he makes strong comparisons from how dating used to occur when our parents were younger, to how a relationship pans out today. His research emphasizes how our levels of in person communication have changed, and how it’s impacting our levels of commitment. He even went as far as Paris, Japan, and Buenos Aires to see if he found the same results across the globe. This book is filled with massive amounts of data, and focus group responses that show how stressful of a time this can be on today’s emerging generation. However, it also recognizes the importance of properly investing in your potential partner, and giving them a chance before moving onto the

Analysis Of Everything You Knew About L-E Is Wrong By Aziz Ansari

The article Everything You Thought You Knew About L-o-v-e is Wrong written by Aziz Ansari, is in my opinion, a well structured and well presented article that overall is effective; however, it has some potential flaws. Although Ansari included various perspectives and facts to support his argument, he tended to ramble on with wordy and unnecessary sections. I think that because he is a comedian, he establishes a distinct tone, which is light and a bit satirical. I found him throughout having unnecessarily…
