The dating market for college-grad Millennials now has one-third more women than men, which means men have all the leverage. Jon argues that the problem with modern dating has little to do with Tinder or porn or women's unwillingness to follow some dating expert's "rules." The real problem boils down to a numbers game. Drawing on economics, psychology and demographics, DATE-ONOMICS makes the case that increasingly lopsided gender ratios among college graduates - 4 women graduating for every 3 men - are what's really behind the rise of the hookup culture and the worsening marriage prospects for educated women. Additionally, he's a frequent guest on TV and radio, discussing topics ranging from the dating market to the stock market on ABC's Good Morning America, BBC World Service, CNBC, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and National Public Radio.Jon Birger is an award-winning magazine writer, a contributor to Fortune magazine, and the author of DATE-ONOMICS: How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game (Workman Publishing, September 2015).
