About this listen

Rex has spent his entire adult life running from the shadow of his stepfather — a womanizing,
manipulative man who treated relationships like a game to be won. Now with a successful career
in the Navy and his own firm moral code, Rex tells himself he's nothing like the man who raised
him. He's better than that. He has to be.

But as Rex navigates the complex world of modern dating, analyzing every interaction and
female behavior pattern like tactical data, he begins to see uncomfortable parallels. From married
women to single mothers, fellow sailors, and bachelor party strippers, each relationship forces
him to question whether his calculated approach to romance is really so different from Jon's
manipulations.

In this groundbreaking exploration of contemporary romance from a male perspective, R A
Stone delivers a brutally honest examination of love, self-deception, and the patterns we
create — both to find connection and to avoid it.


With sharp wit and brutal honesty, The Dog Walker challenges our assumptions about
relationships while asking profound questions about authenticity, vulnerability, and the stories
we tell ourselves about love.

First the good.

Listening to this book was fun and painful. It is great to listen to a book that wasn't love story "mush" or detriorate into sentimentality. The main character wins and loses at a rate to keep me interested in his next adventure. I was having fun because I was rooting for him to win, which he did, but not in a "slay the dragon" fashion.

However, it was a painful listen, because his actions map somewhat onto mine... except for the "getting it" part.

I came of age came prior to the advent of modern pickup/game. My wins were many, low to medium quality, and completely random. I was screwing up along side the main character while listening... but worse, because "getting it" never happened for me. It was very painful and immersive, shows a good to great writer.

Now the bad.

I am used to the narrators voice from his podcast. Great for podcasts... but please... if you are reading this... stop reading your own books... you suck bro.





Like reliving my youth, without the "getting it"
