About The Book
Brawny model and eating disorder advocate, Ryan Sheldon bares it all on his escapades as a gay man looking for love in the digital swipe culture hellscape that is modern dating. F*ckboys Are Boring is a raw, hilarious dating guidebook for everyone.
In this salacious, vulnerable, heartbreaking and hilarious guide to surviving the digital hellscape that is modern dating, model and eating disorder activist, Ryan Sheldon offers a path to healing while looking for real love. Ryan unapologetically shares it all (even the cringeworthy) about his escapades as a gay man looking for romance in a sea of fuckboys. F*ckboys Are Boring is a guidebook for anyone who has struggled with feeling inferior, unworthy, or less-than while looking for connection in this disconnected world. Whether you're gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or queer, this book offers reprieve from swipe culture and includes a compatibility scale that will help you find love based on your values while also keeping your dignity intact.
But this is more than a dating guide. Sheldon gets vulnerable about his struggles with mental illness-including obsessive-compulsive disorder, abandonment wounds, and his addiction to chaos. He shares the truth about his eating disorder recovery and what it was like to walk away from an abusive relationship. He exposes the truth about dating in a larger body and finding love and acceptance for himself at any size. And he doesn’t hold back when he shares the wild stories from dating as a gay man in the digital modern world and the lessons he learned from those experiences.
F*ckboys Are Boring offers a new way of rating dates with a compatibility scale, the first of its kind, and invites readers to create their own scale so they can make dating choicesbased on their values (not just looks). Readers will come away with their own list of dating deal breakers, guides on how to maintain boundaries and self-respect in the modern era of swipe-culture, and a toolbox of resources that Sheldon has picked up through decades of therapy.
If you’re frustrated with the dehumanizing digital hellscape that is modern dating, F*ckboys Are Boring offers solace and support. Sheldon is like your gay best friend, dishing on all his outrageous dating stories, offering guidance and wisdom, and crying with you as one heartbroken casualty of harsh dating life to another. F*ckboys Are Boring offers hope to anyone (including f*ckboys) who has ever struggled with not feeling good enough while searching for love and offers a way for us to look at ourselves with compassion.
