Outdated: Rethinking How Men Date Women is a unique relationship book that focuses on what happens before two people end up in a relationship. So many of the challenges that happens in a relationship results from a poor start. In this book, Derek takes on the oftentimes confusing topic of dating, addressing topics like expectations, going into new relationships with old wounds, and gender roles.
Although his book challenges many of the societal norms we, as a whole, have fallen into, he does so in a way that is eye-opening and not preachy or judgmental. This is a short book, but certainly not one that the reader will want to rush through, if permanent and lasting results are what he or she is looking for. Each chapter ends with questions to ponder.
For years, Derek has shared relationship nuggets on an informal platform. I was hoping he’d tackle the subject on a deeper level and was very glad when I heard he’d written this book. As with his other writings, he did not disappoint. This is not the typical book where the male writer takes no responsibility for elements men sometimes bring into a situation that aids in the downfall of the relationship. Instead, he addresses the flawed thinking and errors of both sexes in a way that challenges how we’ve done things in the past. He urges us to try a different approach in order to get more lasting, and less hurtful, results.
As with his other messages, he brings what he calls a “Biblical World View” to the topics he expounds upon. This is wonderful for those of the Christian faith. I did, however, wonder if those who were not of that faith would be able to relate to his teachings. To me the information is too good to be limited to just a select group of people.
I look forward to Derek having a larger platform to share his knowledge on relationships from a male perspective.
