He's Just Not That Into You....(that's because he's too busy being into himself!)

Have you heard of the book, "He's Just Not That Into You?" I talked to a lady reading it at the beauty shop and saw the author on Oprah. I cannot believe any woman would need a book to tell them when a guy isn't interested. Men are so obvious. So I agree with much of what was included in the first chapter except for one major point. He says women should not pursue men; should not take the initiative. He develops this point based upon the assumption that men are highly capable and can get what they want. Wow, what an assumption. One thing I did learn from my 1950s mom is how to make a man think it is THEIR idea. That is a skill that should be passed on from generation to generation. The one thing I agree with the author about is that women are good enough to be asked out; probably too good for those that are asking.

I title this blog entry, "He's Just Not That Into You (because he is too busy being into himself) based upon personal experience and the testimony of others. Not to belabor that whole Star Wars analogy, but.... Do you remember in the original episode when Luke was freaking out about Obe Won Kenobi getting killed? Luke had just met the guy and he was blubbering about Obe dying to Princess Leila, who just watched her entire planet get blown to smitherines! He could have been a little more sensitive to the woman who just lost all the people in her entire world. Get out of yourself for a moment bud! You'll notice at the end, Luke doesn't get the babe (of course, she did turn out to be his sister).

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What do you think of the book "He's Just Not That Into You?" Do you think a woman should take the initiative when asking a man out?
