Comedian Kate Willett was married to a woman and thought she'd never have to deal with men again.  That is, until she found herself dumped, suddenly single, and mystifyingly…mostly attracted to dudes. Like any good comic, she was inspired to investigate, and thus ensued her hilarious, sometimes high-stakes personal research into the world of men, culminating in a beautiful, difficult romance. Featuring insightful interviews with comics and experts like W. Kamau Bell, Margaret Cho, Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber, and Kate’s dad and close friends, this exploration of modern masculinity delves into how to be a good guy and how to be in love with one…and when that isn’t quite enough.
