Opinions and Points of View

Many of Syrtash's works address many of the popular “rules” of dating, often setting the tone with statements contrary to popular belief. “Some of the best stories I’ve heard about people who find love feature those who broke dating rules.[8]

"he said/she said" approach that provides insight into how the other sex loves, Syrtash and Wilser dissect the worn-out rules from both a female and male perspective. Setting the tone with the ironic admonition, "Never trust a rule that begins with 'Never,' and always be suspicious of a rule that begins with 'Always,'"they dismantle conventional wisdom. Drawing on their own experiences and the firsthand testimony of hundreds of others who have waged and survived the dating wars, they give the lie to antiquated dictates that stamp out the nuance of human dynamics and, what's more, don't always work.
