She's just not that into me
After reading a previous post from the saint about a book entitled "He's just not that into you", I sought to read this book myself. I usually look things up first hand whenever there's some piece of controversial literature. I had a feeling I was ripped off.Man was I so right. First off, it wasn't a male-bashing thing. That was my first impression of the book. While most of the book's after-wisdom was in small pieces, most of the examples are merely stories. Why did I say "merely"? Because everyone's story in life is different. When you're in a scenario that you are the one potentially involved in a might-be relationship, everyone's experience is unique. So in other words, not all the stuff discussed ever applies to you. Perhaps the book made its points clear:
First, that it doesn't take a genius to know that a guy doesn't want you. If we want you, we'll tell you. If we don't, we won't. If we ask you out, we only want to know you better and see what you're company's like, but we still don't like you. A guy with balls (who's really into you) will tell it to your face "I LIKE YOU", or something to that effect. Don't ASSUME.
Secondly, rejection is probably a hard fact to swallow for girls. This is true probably because only the girls usually do the rejecting. But when they get a taste of it, it's a big deal. If it isn't, then Greg and Lisa shouldn't have written the book. Guys are well.. THE masters of taking rejection. Most especially for the desperate to be in-love, this is breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The one thing about the book that makes you feel short-changed is that after reading it, you already know more or less the solution to your problem about figuring a guy out just how serious he is about you even before reading, you were just probably too stubborn to swallow it. More importantly, you were too afraid to let go of a person who wasn't on the same level of commitment as you. You girl, definitely deserve better.
See? There wasn't much new learning. Go spend your $10 on another book.
And If there was a book ever that would be the biggest lie in literature, it would be:
"She just not that into you", let's see if a girl could write that. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA =P
[ Ok, f_ck, that was a good laugh. ]
