OK. You said the book addresses my point about competition between women for the men who would be most likely to make good husbands. Do you happen to recall any particular point from the book which you can relate?
My point is that, somebody who wants to be successful in finding a good mate, should work at improving his or herself so as to make it more likely that the person they want will want THEM. Whether that be spending more time at the gym becoming more physically fit, or reading more stuff which might make the person more intellectually stimulating, or whatever.
If you happen to recall some specific items from the book, then fine. If all you have is “read the book”, I’m not interested as I’m not in the market anyway, being happily married, and so this conversation would be done.
