Author BA Ball, writing under the pen name Barby, has released 'MENOPOLY – A parody about the grim reality of dating in the Techno-Age!', a book that combines humor with practical insights drawn from personal dating experiences. The publication arrives at a time when online dating continues to dominate relationship formation, making Ball's perspective particularly relevant for millions navigating digital romance platforms.
The book's significance lies in its ability to transform potentially frustrating dating experiences into entertaining and educational content. Ball categorizes 15 distinct types of men encountered in dating relationships, including The Pistol Packer, The Hose Dragger, Bi-Polar Man, The Cheetah (aka Cheater), and Loser/Liar. These characterizations stem from what Ball describes as 'zesty experiences' that have given her the 'edge' on men and dating. She notes that most people have either dated or know someone who has dated at least one of these colorful characters.
'I dated these guys and took a funny spin on my experiences. Pretty much seen most all the good, bad and ugly out there,' Ball explained about her approach to the material. The book serves dual purposes: as an eye-opening tutorial for women on what to watch out for in potential partners, and for men on how not to behave in dating situations.
The publishing journey for 'MENOPOLY' began as a blog before evolving into a book format after encouragement from Ball's best friend. The author indicates she has several more books planned, including 'Life in the Hen House,' which uses chicken behavior as a metaphor for human social dynamics. Ball attributes her comedic approach to family heritage, noting records show she's related to Lucille Ball, saying 'It's in my genes!'
