I Found This Book in the Girlfriends Room...

"He's Just Not That Into You" by Greg Behrendt

http://www.amazon.com/Hes-Just-That-Into-Understanding/dp/068987474X


I found the table of contents quite humorous. I was wondering if anybody's read it?

It seems like the guy who wrote this book has absolutely zero game. The table of contents has lines in it like.. He's just not that into you if he's not calling you. He's just not that into you if he's a selfish jerk. Blah, blah, blah..

Now I'm gonna have to put up with the GF's bullsh*t for the next while. She's gonna try to be a bada$$ towards me. Not calling me and sh*t. I guess I'll have to turn my game up another notch to counteract the effects.

The book summarized in a couple sentences...

DO not go for any guy that doesn't kiss your butt constantly. Let him call, let him do all the work cuz gosh darnit, your the best!

This is the reason why girls that are 3's think they are 10's.


I think the guy co-wrote Sex and the City too, (not sure about that)

I think he was a "technical advisor." Basically, he was the voice of men's motivation on the show.

 

[2Cool]

A woman wrote Sex and the City.

 

[belividere]

Haha

I had a girl break up with me like a year ago talking about this book and how I wasn't really in to her. Truth be told I wasn't really into her, just her plumbing.

I actually think half the young guys on the main board should read this book as these same lessons would apply to them.

I think you've got a point there. Reading the book may explain to them how they get into confusing situations with the women they are seeing. It's not anything other than them just being into them physically.

So, I guess it's kinda like the book "The Rules for Women"?

I'm gonna give it a read if I can.

Hmmm...sounds strangely familiar. There must have been a lot of guys on SoSuave who read that too because that's the same advice they keep giving to other guys.

 

[Bonez]

What you mean a lot of 3's think they are 10's right?

I totally agree Jariel.

I totally agree Jariel.

means girls who are ugly like 3 out of 10, think they are hot.

His tv show audience are mostly women and AFC men brought by their wifes.

 

[squirrels]

Whatever...usually I'm just NOT that into a woman when I first meet her. It takes a good deal of time before I GET that into her. Only very needy men are "THAT into" a girl when they first meet her. And that's what women who live by this book will get.

hahahahaha...dang you just made me spit my coffee all over myself!

Sometimes i think.. wtf is the point of this game anyway?

Money

Peoples loneliness are exploited.

1.) Men and Women who don't have the ability to think for themselves follow the media.

2.) The media teaches people to be selfish

3.) Selfish people do not invest their time in others

4.) When you don't invest you're time in other people you end up with the wrong crowd or despised.

5.) Being despised or around people that don't like each other makes you lonely.

6.) The media teaches lonely people that happiness is finding "THE ONE"

7.) Unfortunately there are alot of people who follow the media and don't know how to be considerate.

8.) Now you have a bunch of lonely angry, stupid, selfish, inconsiderate, media influenced people who think "playing games" will help them find love.

9.) The opposite sex becomes a priority over self improvement.

10.) Instead of putting MORE emphasis on improving themselves and having love naturally happen, people spend money on dating sites, books etc. but never really FOCUS ON CREATING A FULLFILLING EXISTENCE.

11.) Self Esteem and Self Respect begin to decrease
people spend money on books and other people to learn how to increase it.

SUCKA.) The MAN has found another way to take peoples money yet again.

p.s. some people play games to trick other people into falling in love so the trickster can get their money

p.p.s young'uns, geeks, losers and horny people play the game for sex.

Hell - Yes.

Aww... and look, chicky bought the book.

Dead-nuts on, D&B.
:cheer:

Single people make the best consumers.

One of readers response:

if the guy is not SHOWING you, calling you, asking you out, smsing you all day and night (and 3 minutes after you parted) he is not tha into you, and sticking around is exercise in your frustration.
if he does.. well, you know what that feels like, having a guy head over heels?
it it ain't like that, he ain't head over heels. if he ain't head over heels, he ain't that into you, and he will be looking for the one he will be. again, exercise in your frustration.
move the hell on.
i am.

1. There is some truth in it. By being passive they weed out hit&run guys.

2. Lots of women are in relationships with guy who is just lazy to find some girl he is really interested in. On the other hand these women have higher value guys and by seeking for head over heels guys they are actually looking for lower value guy than themselves aka guys from worse gene pool.

3. They also weed out guys who have backbone. Those who respond bad to Playing Hard to Get, b/c it is playing hard to get. And those guys who ask themselves 'Is this girl a GIVER or a stuck up TAKER?'

4. The book implicates selfish Goddes syndrome - the most dangerous desillusion. Similar to Alphamale wannabes.

I think it is written for Average Frustrated Girls. It should provide massive shield for their insecure ego. Playing by this book they risk nothing but also gain nothing.

I actually agree with this book

The problem is you act like a dude with perfect game if you aren't actually in to her ;-)

 

[d9930380]

This is quality, if you ever want a look behind enemy lines. Go read the comments! This is my favourite so far.

"While a lot of what Greg says is true, the plain and simple fact (as his co-author Liz points out) is that there are more women than men in this country, and if we ever want to date or get married, we have to be more tolerant of certain behaviors that Greg would have us dump a guy for"

It goes to show you that women aren't any more in control than men. Funny that! Just remember that when you're sarging or have self doubt!

See below what I wrote about this several weeks ago:


He's Just Not That Into You: Your Daily Wake-up Call

That is the garbage that managed to become a Best Seller. Written by stand up comedian Greg Behrendt (an imbecile) that also wrote couple episodes of Sex and the City and written by Liz Tuccillo which also is a writer for Sex and the City.

I went to Borders Bookstore and sat down and decided to take a look at this garbage. The writer, Greg…goes on bashing men. He tells women to dump men that do things that a typical DJ might do. He goes to the extreme too. Especially on issues such as marriage or not wanting to be married yet.

They use the “advice” style of answering some make-up letters by women. The “Dear Gregg, my boyfriend…” type of letters and his responses are the same. Attacking MEN!

Sadly, he and Liz in several occasions admit that they have never being in the situation (lack of experience), but still give the advice.

This is a BEST SELLER! I heard of it when my girlfriend was telling her sibling to read that book in order to make better decisions in her relationships. Something about Oprah recommending it.

The best thing about a book like this - it spooks the AFC's!

I hope it sells millions and millions of copies and that every woman buys one and begins following it religiously. Then watch what will happen. AFC's left and right will start feeling *hurt* and *unhappy* which [hopefully] will lead to two things. That women as a whole will realize that a relationship with her at the reigns is a clusterfvck AND more importantly, more and more AFC's will knock themselves out of the matrix (via their perceived pain) and finally get it.

And for the DJ on top of his game, these women will be even easier to pick up because they'll get so used to mass supplication that the first hint of aloofness, indifference and confidence from a guy will drive her nuts.

One more thing - the entire book's idea is hillarious anyways because the only guys that a woman will be able to be aloof and indifferent towards are the ones she's not interested in anyways (ie. the AFC's too naive to pick up on her lack of desire in the first place). Once a guy who is confident, desireable and seeminlyg unobtainable comes along she'll only have one thing on her mind and it won't be a ridiculous book

ps. Rollo, when is that book of yours coming out!
