WOW, I am so excited. I am looking so much forward to your book. Your teachings are so important. Thank you so much for what I learned. I share it with my girls/friends in Switzerland, unfortunately they don’t speak english so I teach them.

Lots of love from Switzerland🌹❤️🙏

Jennie,

I love your work. I’m not dating, but I am a big fan of the Deep Read, and I learn so much. Plus, it gives me joy to know that empowered women are blocking men and minimizing the extent to which they’re exploited by Big Swipe.

I have a question about a rhetorical pattern I noticed during the State of the Union address the other night:

"Our country is winning again. In fact, we’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it. People are asking me, please, please, please, Mr. President, we’re winning too much. We can’t take it anymore. We’re not used to winning in our country until you came along, we’re just always losing. But now we’re winning too much. And I say, no, no, no, you’re going to win again. You’re going to win big. You’re going to win bigger than ever.”

In this portion of the speech, the president took a break from giving out prizes to white people and delighting in tales of lurid violence, and fantasized a scenario in which someone—well, I guess technically all of us—is telling him to stop doing something to them, and he revels in just doing it harder and harder. Other than a barely disguised rape fantasy, is there another name for this rhetorical pattern?

Never stop, never change, keep doing that fire burning.

I was hoping to read the How to Write a Great Dating Profile but it’s locked to subscribers alas

Jennie, what you are doing is so amazing!! To teach us the skills to avoid abusive, horrible men is seriously changing my life, and from the facebook group I can see that you are changing the lives of sooo many women. (And I had read ALL of the books on watching out for red flags. But —I kept meeting men who were just the worst type of people!! Ugh!!)

Your very clear rhetorical patterns are so specific that I now do not miss the red flags. I B2B so fast now 😂 and ….I’m happy single if my needle doesn’t show up.

Thank you. I’m starting to apply it to other situations in life as well, which is interesting. Thank you thank you. I can’t wait for your book to ship. ❤️

Hi, how do I propose a question for the FB page? Someone sent me an intro that I wonder about, and I haven’t seen anything that would cover it as a rhetorical pattern.

Jennie, I pre-ordered the book and signed up for the zoom a week or so ago, but didn't receive any confirmation. Is that normal or should I resubmit? Thank you for all you do!! 💜

Okay, sorry for the delay -- the folks at HarperCollins are now working on an email confirmation to send to everyone! I'm not sure when it's going out, but if you don't get it within a week or so, please feel free to contact me through my website (jennieyoung.com), and I will check on everything! I appreciate your question because it alerted me to the fact that we need to be sure we're confirming with everyone! ❤️

MetalMutt's avatar

Thank you! I'll be on the lookout for it and will let you know if I don't get it in the next week.

Jennie Young's avatar

Hmmm, I don't know, but I will email right now and find out -- please stay tuned, and thank you for letting me know! 🧡

I'm so sorry, I can't find it! This took me to the main page, but when I search for reviews I can't find it (I'm sure this is a 100% "me problem," lol). Is there a way to link right to your review? Also thank you so much for reviewing it! ❤️

You have 8 5-star ratings including mine :) if that link doesn’t work, you can go to http://Goodreads.com and search up yr book there!

Jennie Young's avatar

Omg, thank you, Emi! 🥹🥰❤️ I realize you posted this a bit ago, but I just read it for the first time today, and today happens to be my birthday, and reading it felt like the loveliest birthday gift! 🥹 This means so very much to me, thank you again. 🙏

I clicked on the link to "write a good dating profile" but was told I need a subscription to the WSJ? Not much of a link?

Same thing. So I went to Apple News, which I have a paid subscription to and was able to read it. But if you don't have an Apple News subscription, that's won't help. If you really want to read it, you can look it up through your local public library, online.
