Stand-up comedian and podcaster Jared Freid has been dubbed the “Dear Abby for dudes.” If dating feels like it makes no sense, you’re not alone. Freid has answers, and not because he’s been there, but because he is there, in the dating trenches with you.

In Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy Friend, Fried explains what men are thinking without defending them. No bro-code excuses. Just honest decoding of the behavior driving single women and their group chats insane.

Drawing on his experience hosting the dating podcasts “U Up?” and “The JTrain Podcast,” and over two decades of single guy experience, Freid covers how to meet people IRL and conquer dating apps, hooking up, breaking up, loving being single, staying hopeful, and more. Walking Red Flag is an honest and earnest dating survival guide, helping you figure out how to get through it with humor and understanding. Because dating today isn’t just mixed signals and inflated egos—it’s real emotion colliding with people who don’t know what they’re doing but are (usually) trying their best.
