I was one of those women who continually made excuses for the way certain men in my life treated me. And then I read this book, and one image stuck with me: that a man would rather be trampled by elephants on fire than to look you in the eye and tell you that you're not The One. He's just not that into you. And that's why he promises to call and then doesn't. Learning to read the signs, learning when to move on and keeping your self-esteem high in the face of rejection is the overall purpose here: don't waste the pretty. I think the authors do a good job of realistically assessing the dance between the sexes when it comes to that strange ritual we call dating, but from both the female and male perspectives. This book is briskly paced, reads very quickly and it is frequently funny. I thought the chapter on cheating/adultery was a little too cut and dried. I have found that some situations are not so simple. Otherwise, I would recommend it to any woman who has ever wasted an afternoon waiting for that guy to call, but he never does. You know who you are. Don't waste the pretty.Read full review
I liked how the book projected a man and a woman's point of view on several different types of dating scenarios. There were many different letters followed by both author's responses to each problem. Reading some of the similar situations that I have experiences gave me a different insight on the problems and self-realization that those guys really weren't as into me as I thought-or wanted to think and I really wasn't into them as much as I felt he was the one. We are all worth being treated with respect and this book helps you differentiate relationships that are and aren't worth your time. Like they say, "Don't waste Pretty!"
This book was like a light going off in your head. The answer is so easy, and at least I always thought their has to be some kind of explanation. There is no complicated answer, their is nothing wrong with you, no explanation, and your answer is in this book. I am like most of these women in this book. They are telling their story, asking their questions, and the answer is always the same. Don't waste another minute crying over a relationship, boyfriend, or a date that never called you back. Instead, read this book, have a good laugh, and move on with your life. And you better be prepared to laugh at yourself, and say that sounds like me, or that's happened to me, because you will. I have let several friends read this book, and we ALL have been in at least one, mostly more, of these situations. Read it, enjoy the humor, and feel good about yourself.Read full review
I finally got it! My ex boyfriends just weren't that into me. I wish this book was written ten years ago, wow, would I have saved myself a lot of unwanted heartache. It's very simple ladies: if he doesn't call, he's always away on business, he's rude, he doesn't give up his other women, or he seems to only call when he wants sex, guess what "He's Just Not That Into You!" This is my new dating Bible, this book along with The Rules is the perfect self help combo pack. I can now easily weed out the dating wheat from the dating chaff, much earlier than before. The author Greg Behrendt was one of the writers on Sex In The City and he's a stand up comic. So the book is informative and a fun read. I laughed out loud more than once. A few of the examples sent in by the women are so sad and downright degrading, that it made me feel like a dating genious. A must have for every single woman.Read full review
I read this book before buying it for 2 young women I know who really needed some advice about men. While I found the advice funny and accurate and well written for most women, it assumes that all women are brought up in a sophisticated city environment. It also assumes that all young women for whom this book is aimed at are either having sex or are looking for sex. Though not really graphic by todays standards, some might be offended. So, if you are buying it for yourself or for a friend you need to know this. On the other hand, if this won't offend your senses or those of the person you are buying it for, I recommend it. Its a great laugh with great advice, though not exactly Dr. Phil!
