Books That Make You Totally Undateable (According to Flavorwire)

"Though it's good to know what to do to seem appealing to the sex you're attracted to, it's also good to know what not to do — that is, to know which books might send a potential mate running for the hills should they be spotted on your nightstand or peeking out from your back pocket. In the interest of seeing the full picture, we asked both men and women of various sexual orientations to share the books that they think render their devotees totally undateable."
In theory, none of these books should be deal-breakers on their own, but the more of these you have on your bookshelf, the less likely you'll be getting a second date.
