Some of those studies Ansari and Klinenberg set up themselves, for the purpose of this book: There are anecdotes from daters in big US cities, small Midwest towns, as well as Doha, Tokyo, Paris and Buenos Aires, that give some insight into how the culture of dating (and attitudes toward technology) has evolved globally. Our romantic lives increasingly play out across two worlds, Ansari writes, “the real world and our phone world.” As far as dating guides go it’s rather peculiar, driven largely by data gleaned from matchmaking sites like OKCupid, as well as smartphone and dating studies from around the world. Mercifully, Ansari’s new book Modern Romance, co-written with sociologist Eric Klinenberg, is not pitched as some kind of feminist tract - which would, perhaps, be the ultimate mansplaining move - but an exploration of dating culture in a our newly digital world.
