He’s Just Not That Into You

OK this was an interesting “best read” from a RA, obviously it was a learning “help” book for this person.  He’s Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo serves the foundation for the movie which I can’t say I saw.  This “self-help” guide book is a series of 273 bite-sized mantras in how one should realize that you need to see and understand the signs of a potential significant other before determining if they in fact will be a life-time partner.  The authors share what is an appropriate response from a would-be partner and what shouldn’t be acceptable, do we really need a book for this?  Come on ladies?  In many respects I think this book really puts women down for not having the ability to determine how you should be treated.  For example, the authors say stay away from the following type of excuses: “he’s afraid to get hurt again,” “he just got out of a relationship,” “maybe we’re just different,” “he just says things he doesn’t mean,” "he’s been traveling a lot,” “he’s just not ready”... and so on and so on.  In the end, this series of one-liners and tid-bits women should not tolerate from their male counterpart are all common sense, or I guess what they are saying, it isn’t, hence this book!  So remember, bad guys don’t change, if a man is putting something off, he doesn’t want you, and the most important thing to remember is that “he’s just not that into you if he’s a selfish jerk, a bully, or a really big freak!”  Hmm all of this for only $10.00! Oh yeah, $13.95 in Canada.  Well the good thing is it is a “pocket-sized book” which means you could carry it in your pocket and no one will know (which is probably the way you will want it as if you need this book you probably should also be in counseling which is a better way to spend your limited resources!)  Skip it, call me if you want to know why you shouldn’t be dating this guy!
