He's Just Not That into You (Book)

While waiting for my friend and niece the other day, I walked into a book store and ended up with 3 books. One of which, as you have probably guessed right by now, is He's Just Not That into You.

The book has nothing to do with the movie. It is a self-help book written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, two writers from Sex and The City. The book is meant for women who have issues dealing with men who are just not that into them.

On the first account of reading the book, I fathomed at the thought of these women's naivete and brainlessness. Aren't we supposed to be a bunch of complicated, sophisticated and amazing intelligent creation of god? How did we land in such a pathetic stage?

It is in plain sight that many women are dating jerks and irresponsible men who have no clues how to treat a woman right or even how to love them? And why should women compromise by dating such men? Why are they wasting time on that "he's just not that into you" kind of man? It is really better to be in a bad relationship than to be alone?

I certainly understand the tough challenge of women, particularly matured ladies, who are finding with increasing difficulties on snagging a loving, understanding and wonderful man. I wish I can state firmly that this is not a day dream, that some day your prince charming will come to rescue you.

The book does provide some good insights on holding out for that Mr Right who has all the right qualities that you want as a lifelong partner. But in reality, plus the emotional complexity of a woman's brain, all I can add is, please be patient and open your eyes wide before you seal your option to other potentially nicer men. If and especially if, your current squeeze isn't making you feel happy or loved.
