Again, I have to say...this book is the work of the Devil. Who else would write a book that would make an already paranoid group of people (women) even more paranoid? I wonder what Greg Behrendt gets out of the deal? Fame? Fortune? Sex and the City rights? A major motion picture? Jen Aniston as your lead (by the way does anyone else find this sort of mean. You cast a women who is unlucky in love in a movie about a woman being unlucky in love. Hollywood, stop typecasting please, it's just becoming mean) This sounds to me like the work of the devil. (Especially that whole Jen Aniston bit).But what about SHE'S just not that into you? I already told you, I'm just not that into the book, but what about guys who are just as clueless? It seems from the book that guys are given a free pass for all of their bad behavior if in turn we as women recognize that they are just not into us, or not the right guy for us. But is it still okay for them to behave in such a way? For instance, according to the book, if a guy doesn't call me anytime other than after 2:00am he's just not that into me (okay in all fairness he is into me, just not into me in a relationship way), but then are we saying it's okay for guys to do this? It's alright, but we need to dump them? And clearly, since it is poor behavior, and unacceptable, this isn't a habit that we should pick up...but why not? The guys get away with it, why not us?
Case in point...if a guy leaves an ambiguous message on your cell phone that could be construed as a ploy to get you to go out with him, or could simply just be wondering what place you order Sushi from...as girls are we allowed to not call back if we think that we might get pressured into a date? I mean...shouldn't he just get it? SHE'S just not that into you. What girl would do this though? In what world would this be the right thing to do for a girl? That was my rationale...but if a guy would react in this way then aren't they sort of expecting either interest or just a blatant ignore...things that they normally do?
Once again, my life is turning head over foot in this whole He's Just Not That Into You battle, is the book genius? Does it promote bad boy behavior while at the same time teach girls good manners, and what do our manners even matter if boys are expecting us to respond like them? Of course...I hate the book...and of course...I am going to see the movie...I mean, did you expect anything less? The movie actually looks a bit better than the book, which hardly ever happens so I am expecting to not totally hate it. Confessions of a Shopaholic on the other hand I am not too sure about. Did anyone else notice that this movie is about 3 of the Shopaholic books all rolled into one? It's surely going to cause confusion. (It's also going to most likely cause my credit card to hemorrhage. The books gave me a compulsion to shop that I have only just recently gotten over, and I have a feeling that it will be coming back like the head cold I have had since December 12th...God Save my Credit Card!!)
So this is what I think everyone should do...if you are a women dating a guy that's just not that into, or you suspect that he is just not that into, or he simply forgets to buy you flowers on Saturday...I say you take him to see a double feature of He's Just Not That Into You and Confessions of a Shopaholic. Just make sure to pump him full of some sort of time released tranq that wont take effect until the previews are over, make sure that he can still watch the movie, but can't run out of there like Carl Lewis. Even if the movie is good...chances are you have tortured him enough for you to get over being mad!
