Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Dating has never been easier.You can meet more potential partners in a week than most of your ancestors would have encountered in years. You can filter by age, distance, height, hobbies, politics, lifestyle, pets, and whether someone appears to own an alarming number of fish.And yet, somehow, choosing one person may have become harder.The Horny Ape is a funny, serious look at what happens when an ancient mating mind meets dating apps, endless choice, global beauty standards, instant validation, ghosting, pornography, and the quiet suspicion that someone slightly better may be one swipe away.This is not a book about blaming Tinder.It is not a book about blaming men, women, modern relationships, or your ex.It is about mismatch.Human beings evolved in small social worlds with limited options, repeated contact, reputation, friction, and very few opportunities to reject fifty potential mates while sitting on the toilet. Modern dating changed the environment almost overnight. Our psychology did not receive a software update.Drawing on evolutionary psychology, behavioral science, and the everyday absurdity of modern romance, Nathan Wolf explores why abundance can create doubt, why novelty can compete with intimacy, why matches can become validation, why rejection still hurts in a world full of alternatives, and why finding more people does not necessarily make it easier to choose one.Along the way, you will meet the same slightly confused primate responsible for dating apps, read receipts, unrealistic standards, romantic FOMO, and the belief that the perfect person may be hiding three profiles further down.The technology changed.The animal did not.The Horny Ape is for anyone who has ever wondered why modern dating can feel exciting, exhausting, hilarious, hopeful, and completely ridiculous-sometimes before lunch.Because the real question may not be whether dating apps ruined love.It may be what happens when a brain built for scarcity is handed almost unlimited choice.
