Publisher's Summary

The Emmy award-winning former executive producer of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report has assembled a stellar lineup of men who have one thing in common: all have been dumped...and are willing to share their pain and the lessons learned.

Relationships end. And in almost all of them, even the most callow among us take something away. This is a book about that something, whether it be major life lessons, like "If you lie, you will get caught," simple truths like, "Flowers work," or something wholly unique like, "Watch out for the high strung brother in the military." This anthology will be comprised of longer and shorter pieces, drawn from an array of impressive celebrities, writers and public figures. Some pieces may be a paragraph in length while others will be full-blown essays. All of them will be about that salient something men take away from a failed relationship. Yes, men learn.

This is not a touchy-feely book. This is not a self-help book. This is a book packed with smart, funny and insightful stories from men you probably thought never got dumped, or if they did, would never admit it.

What the critics say

"Whether the men pathetically recall their failed dating attempts or are celebrating their record number of dumps as learned experiences, these witty, comical approaches to being dumped are sure to entertain anyone who has entered the world of dating." (Publishers Weekly)

Funny Listening

This is best heard after a bad break up. The narrations from each writer is worth listening. You'll laugh, move forward and then realize that yes there are bad break ups but these are the some of the funniest.

Highly entertaining- what’s with the audible title?

Well written, entertaining and performed excellently. The stories have such variety between them in style and tone. Such an easy listen! Absolutely loved it.

But what’s with the Audible title?? “Dirty Girls Make Bad Friends”?! The book is titled “Things I’ve Learned From Women Who’ve Dumped Me”. That first “title” is eye-rollingly pathetic.
