A revolutionary approach to modern dating teaching us how to dissect the communication styles and behavioral patterns in men's profiles using applied rhetoric, critical discourse analysis, and 10 key rules.

If you really want to find a needle (a long-term committed partner) in a haystack (dating apps), burn the haystack to the ground. When the fire is out, it's easy to see the needles because metal doesn't burn. Getting an overwhelming selection down to just a few great candidates is much more efficient than picking through hundreds of thousands that will never work out. The "Burned Haystack Method" advises women to do what sounds counter-intuitive: present yourself exactly as you are, and give almost no one a chance.

With a blend of scathing humor and academic rigor, Jenny Young breaks down the hidden meanings behind messages and profiles and helps women spot red flags early on and focus on partners who are genuine. The book will provide millions of women with clear, relatable, empowering advice to help them find long-term love.
