so today i was home for lunch watching tyra (i know, i know. judge me. i don't care.) and the topic of the show was "he's just not that into you."
bonus.
my favorite topic!
they had this "man panel" that listened to girls whine about how their boyfriends don't treat them exactly how they wanted to be treated. and the men decided that some of these guys were into the girls, some of them weren't and sometimes they just accused the girl of being dramatic (pretty fairly, in my opinion).
the thing that hit me over the head like frying pan was the realization that most of these girls didn't seem all that into their boyfriends.
interesting!
i get that with the book and the movie and all, this is a big fad. it puts a lot of pressure on guys i guess, but let's be honest - lots of guys have lots of issues. and lots of girls have done their finest *easy* breezy job to create the laziest generation of men our society has ever seen, and the feminist movement sure did it's job to confuse gender roles to the point that no one even knows what their responsibilities are anymore. i get all that.
but i mean ladies: if you're not that into the guy you're dating in the first place, who cares how he treats you? who cares if he only communicates through text or never pays for dinner? if you don't like him, break up with him and save both of you a lot of time and emotional turmoil.
on a similar note, i have that book: be honest, you're not that into him, either. i haven't read it yet...but i'm going to study and get back to you. this conversation isn't over yet.

All I have to say is that reading "He's Just Not That Into You" changed my life. It gave me years on my life of not having to sit there and wonder if he was into me or not. And when my husband was into me, I knew immediately because of Greg Behrandt's excellent advice on the subject.
please do a post on the book after you read it!!!
When you're done reading that may I borrow it?
That episode was on here about 2 weeks ago and it made me sad. My favorite part was when the guy told his girlfriend that he doesn't buy jewelery for females anymore after his ex pawned all of the stuff he gave her.
I just wanted to say, "if you're dating a guy whose ex would even feel comfortable walking into a pawn shop.... that should tell you something." Although I'm not quite sure what...
It's nice to know you're willing to cut us a break. I still think guys are as much to blame, though. Left to our own devices, we would all develop weird, psycho habits like showering with dish soap or sleeping on the floor to avoid changing the sheets.
