Author BA Ball's new book 'MENOPOLY' offers a humorous yet informative parody about modern dating realities, categorizing 15 distinct male personality types based on her personal dating experiences.

In her new book MENOPOLY – A parody about the grim reality of dating in the Techno-Age!, author BA Ball, also known as Barby, presents a lighthearted examination of contemporary dating culture through the lens of personal experience. The work serves as both entertainment and education, offering women insights into potential dating pitfalls while providing men with examples of behaviors to avoid in relationships. Drawing from her own dating history, Ball has identified and characterized fifteen distinct types of men that women commonly encounter in the dating world.
The book features colorful characterizations including The Pistol Packer, The Hose Dragger, Bi-Polar Man, The Cheetah (also known as Cheater), and Loser/Liar among others. These archetypes represent the various personalities Ball has encountered throughout her dating journey, each bringing what she describes as zesty experiences that have given her unique perspective on male behavior in romantic contexts. The author notes that most people have either dated someone fitting these descriptions or know someone who has, making the content widely relatable.
Ball's writing career began with a blog that evolved into this published work after encouragement from her best friend. She explains that the book represents a humorous take on her actual dating experiences, having encountered what she describes as most of the good, bad and ugly aspects of modern romance. The author attributes her comedic approach to family heritage, noting records showing she's related to Lucille Ball and suggesting humor runs in her genes.
Beyond MENOPOLY, Ball has additional literary projects in development, including an upcoming title called Life in the Hen House that explores social dynamics through chicken behavior metaphors. She describes how this forthcoming work illustrates how women (and men) behave similarly to chickens in social situations, particularly referencing the origin of the term Pecking Order from how hens establish social hierarchy. The book is available for purchase through major retailers including https://www.amazon.com or other preferred book vendors.
The publishing company behind the project, Total Publishing And Media, provides comprehensive services including book writing, editing, design, printing, distribution, publishing and marketing to help authors transform concepts into published, selling books.
