Guys.. this is mostly for you to answer, and us girls to read and take notes!

A new movie, and best selling book called "He's Just Not That Into You" is based on the idea that we women waste a TON of our lives trying to figure men out.

According to the book:
"For ages, women have come together over coffee, cocktails or late night phone chats to analyze the puzzling behavior of men. Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo are here to say that despite good intentions --- you're wasting your time. Men are not complicated, although they'd like you to think they are. And there are no mixed messages. THE TRUTH MAY BE... HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU.

So.. what do you say guys? How close to the truth are we now if we are to believe what this book is telling us?
It's excellent reading material.. and finally.. things make SO MUCH SENSE!!"


Let's talk about it~

cheers

Me too...typing nerd typing wave


I have read the book though and think its bang on...we women spend far too much time reading into things and analyzing vs. just listening to what's being said or really shown by actions...Of course someone who doesn't want to spend much time with you or doesn't call etc...Is just not that into you...Think about when you are into someone...It's just the opposite...you want to spend as much time as you can with that person in the beginning...and call just because....So I don't think it's any different for men...whose words and actions can speak quite loudly...if we take the time to listen and accept them for what they are....wave wink hug kiss kiss hug heart beating

I only once ever fancied a woman who fancied me but I didn't fancy her at first and for a long time after we met..............complicated, huh? confused

Can't talk for other men, but I know instantly if I find a woman attractive or not - and it doesn't matter if she is pulling up carrots in her back yard with her hair in a mess and her fingers covered in mud or if she is 'dressed up to kill' I just 'know' I fancy her and have to find out something to dislike before I consider changing my mind..................... but, the other way round, NOT finding somebody attractive at first - that takes a lot of time and hard work to find the beauty within and learn to appreciate things you don't instinctively find appealing.

he may be very into you, there maybe resons why he's having trouble letting you know maybe he has you on a pedistal and doesnt feel worthy of you, or doesnt want to burdon you with what he may be going through at this stage in this life, these are not excuses though they may sound like it, i dont speak for men, but for me im very complex at this moment and simple the next, i cant read minds and maybe sometimes im thinking shes not that into me so i just dont want to put myself into a humiliating
hurtful situation and be shot down, especially if there is a history of or a recent example of it and the hurt is too fresh.
all of these things and more could seem like (he's not that into you) but could be alot more too it.hug angel

They made alot of money on a book that is simply common sense, I never read it but did watch his talk show a few times and it was pretty much just a push for the book IMO. You girls knew all of that stuff anyway come on. conversing

Really? Well thats only true for me if I am in a break-up situation.. the disappointment, disbelief and so on.. But that is due to me not wanting to admit that HE JUST ISNT THAT MUCH INTO ME... oops!!doh grin


But I dont think I ever approached a guy to ask him about it just because he's a guy..
And really, I spend just as much time on figuring out why girls do what they do as I try and figure out what guys do..
related to myself or not..
