A wake up call of where online dating is today
A provacative expose into the evolution of the dating scene and how we got to where we are are today. A wake up call and a real page turner that I could not put down.

Very raw and visceral look into a brave new world
Insightful, true, wrenching and soul opening. It's a genuine stare into the soul of a millennial man pinned between two impossibilities: continue to suffer under the doughy illusions of traditional romance and get crushed under the wheels of an increasingly unforgiving sexual marketplace... or find a leveraged hill on which to boldly push back and eventually harness it's relentless energy and momentum to his advantage.It's a well-written and evocative look at the meat-hook realities both sexes face in the modern dating environment. You're left not only understanding the author's journey, but the paradox he lives with. The infectious culmination of liberalized sexuality that might be patient zero in a sweeping social endemic that extinguishes humanity as we know it... or potentially serves as the wake up call to the dicey, overweighted tower of narcissism that props up our modern social ethos.

A look behind the curtain of modern day dating
The author plants you into a world you'd never think existed without a curious mind. We often are conditioned to believe differently and therefore miss a lot of clues of how to navigate dating in the modern age. I won't spoil the book itself but I will say that I enjoyed the story and the author's journey through a dating secret society of sorts. This would make a great film! I'm looking forward to reading more works and joining the author on the next literary adventure...wherever it takes me. Fiction or non-fiction, Brob has the potential to be great.

We don't live in our parents Dating scene. We are not in Kansas anymore
Men should read this book to understand what the current dating market is actually like. Sugar babies walk among us, and most of us are none the wiser. Men marry these women thinking they are the girl next door, when in reality, the woman you just met off tinder is likely a seasoned professional, well versed in male psychology and the art of weaponizing her sexual allure to get exactly what she wants. Dont get played. Read the book. See reality for what it is, instead of what you want it to be.

Great insight into the transactional nature of modern dating
I really enjoyed the book. It's well written, and quite funny at times. A little titillating in some parts, but the author goes way deeper (pun somewhat intended) than just chasing casual sex. He continually wrestles with possibility that the traditional monogamy that our parents and past generations enjoyed is no longer possible in our modernized consumerist culture. If you're a young man in the modern dating market you will find this book to be eye-opening and somewhat alarming. I found this to be an enjoyable yet profound read.

Salty Is An Appropriate Title
I read this book and it put me in a sour mood for a few weeks. I debated on even leaving this review because I know low ratings can be damaging, but these are my honest thoughts after reading. First, it made me very uncomfortable to read that the author made up a fake persona to get younger girls to sleep with him and show interest in him. Obviously very gross, deceptive and manipulative. Second, the author discusses early on in the book that he didn’t pay a girl for their night together, when he knew that she expected to be paid from the get go. He then is surprised when she asks for payment, why wouldn’t a night with “him” be enough? That’s theft, creepy and it’s seriously narcissistic. The author put himself, knowingly, into that situation, but turned around and acted surprised about the outcome. That’s pretty rich coming from a liar- at least she was honest. Third, it seems, to me, that the author is “salty” that there are women who can make money off of their sex appeal and company alone. It’s not a secret that some women do this, it has been done for ages, but not every young, pretty girl does this. Please step back into reality, get off your phone and your dating apps. This leads me into my next point. Four, no, sugar dating isn’t taking over the dating scene; of course you’d think that when you’re purposely exposing yourself to those women and that kind of networking. Like I said, please step back into reality.I had to force myself to get through this book. It made me sad and uncomfortable, not necessarily at the sugar scene like the author intended, but more at the narrative that was being created throughout the book and the fact that there are men who will lie about who they are to sleep with girls. With all that being said, I’m giving this two stars because I think the author truly has a gift for writing. He’s a good story teller and can obviously write well. It was the material that was bad.

Very insightful!
First, for such a young guy, I admired his story telling ability. It's always good when you can turn an authors words into a movie scene and I was able to do just that.I think it's a must read for men and women, it's an interesting insight into a dating subculture that many are unaware is happening and apparently growing. Great read!

Entertaining and Insightful
This book was the most entertaining tale of dating, adventure and debauchery I’ve read in a long time. B Rob is a fantastic writer, and you can also tell the book had thorough editing done to create an enjoyable, free-flowing narrative. Although, the tales really tell themselves…Also, if you’re interested in pursuing the Sugar Daddy or Salt Daddy Lifestyle this book has a ton of insight to offer.
