Once again, I find myself reading a relationship book, not because there are any problems in my marriage, but because the authors are funny people.
This book is written by a former writer for Sex In The City (Liz Tuccilio) and a consultant for the same series (Greg Behrendt). Greg’s the guy who also co-wrote It’s Called a Break-Up Because It’s Broken.
The basic message of this book is, Ladies, if he ignores your phone calls, doesn’t want to have sex, can’t make a commitment or for any other reason doesn’t want to be around you, he’s not into you. No amount of you caving, whining, hanging around, looking pathetic or crying is going to change that. He is not going to change. Basically, if a man is into a woman, he will move Heaven and Earth to be with her.
Greg is very blunt about this through out the book. He even has a survey of 25 men at the end of each chapter where he asked them the question that section was examining. Harsh words from the men to back up the tough medicine.
Women need to hear this message, cause we have been trained to believe that we can change men, that we should sit by the phone and wait for him to call, that we should make a billion excuses for men. Basically, that we should settle, cause we aren’t getting any younger, rather that wait for Mr. Right to come along.
Good book – message delivered with humour, which means it tends to stick in your brain better. I may be buying this as a gift for many people this year.
