While I was at the bookstore a fe days ago, stocking up on scantrons, highlighters, sticky notes and al sorts of goodies before class began-- ( being the nerd I am, I enjoy shopping for school and coursebooks...)... anyway...
So I finished my search for courseooks and bright pink highlighter that would ovverride the neon yellow one applied all over my once used and abused motivational Psych book... Being bored out of my witts due to the ong line for the register, i decided to pick up this book entitled "He's just not that into you: the nno excuses truth t ounderstanding guys" written by the authors of the all so famous "Sex and the City". So i began flpping through the pages and found the book quite amuzing.
Its been only two days since ive gotten a hold of the bok, and im 3/4 done. I tell you, its awesome! I wouldnt quite classify it as a serious read or some intellectual masterpiece, but it is quite refreshing in its own manner.
Basically the book explores the bullshi$$ women CLAIM they go through while dating (men). Beginning with the "he doesnt call me"....and ending with "he slept with another woman"....
It offers straight forward and blunt responses to women who seem to have low self esteem and those who make excuses for the behavior of the men they are dating....
I thought it was a fun book to read, but it didt offer anythign i did not kow already... i would reccomend it to women who complain about their boyfriends, "friends" with benefits or what not and for those who let men walk all over them....
SOme of the scenarios presented by the audience in the book were so rediculloius that i felt like t hey were coming from pre-teen litle girls... to my surprise these women ranged from their early/mid twenties all the way to their mid thirties.... i would have thought women at that age would be more expereinced and smarter and would figure out if a guy was not al that "into them"...
anywhoo... moral of the story is, if you want to read somethig fun and laugh at some of these women's situations and their stupidities, by all means grab this book!!....
I do think that we need more psychologists in this world.... haha... considering the fact that so many women have such low self esteem.....and they actually accept abuse in a relationship and stoop down so low that they get kicked in he head....
i rest my ummm case?!!

In contrast, I think most guys have simple needs ... I call it the "1 f, 2 s" or the "2 f, 1 s" if you will: ... food, sex, and spelling ability.

okiei dont get the intentions behind that either...somehow i feel like thats supposed to be sarcastic... whatever
I just meant that...ok imagine this scenario...
You walk up to one of your female friends and say, "Boy, do I have a book recommendation for you! It'd be a perfect read for you, since you let men walk all over you..."
NOW does my comment make sense? It wasn't my aim to get a rise out of you, angel jan.

I haven’t read the book yet, but a few weeks back the author was on Oprah. A lot of the women on the show were just what you described Angel. I love how in ever discussion the author would say; “Well, he’s just not that into you” and the women would have tears in their eyes. I admit I was laughing most of the time.
I am sure most of those women knew the men in their lives weren’t that into them. From what I have learned with situations like these is to give it time. Once we let things be everything seems to falls into place. So what if he isn’t into you. There is always someone else that is willing to love you, start a family or even go on that first date with you.
