Hope
I watched the movie. hated the ending. I felt better when the characters were thinking realistically. I didn't want to be left with hope that I might find someone. I want to be sent a realistic message that not everyone finds a person to spend the rest of their life with. I feel like it lost its spirit of empowerment in the end. It fed into the prince charming is out there theme. not cool.

He's jusy not that into you - the book
I think the book speaks the truth to some extent, but ladies out there - we're more intuitive than having to get directions from a book - its a funny book but ladies trust your natural instincts, and you may be right.. not all men or women for that matter are perfect - and time will heal and help point us in the right direction. Though I do agree with the book on 1 point. We are not forgettable and we're special and we should nto settle for less.. but we need to be realistic too coz ladies as much as we like to think we're perfect and have all the answers to a perfect relationship - we don't! that's why it takes 2 ppl to make or break a relationship. So again its just a book - its not a life and love instructional menu ok.

Not Correct
So anyways, this book doesn't nail men completely. Most of the information IS relevant, but all of it is extremely bent and exaggerated. Yes, men are more concrete than women when it comes to the yes/no dating line. No, we're not 100% black white about it. Jesus Christ.

Love - Can't live with it, cant live without it
My girlfriend was looking for this book in the store on tape. I just read it and found what the book is about. Talk about confusion! So, I have come to the conclusion that she is looking for "the one". What does that mean for me? I know. I love her very much. So I am going to give it to her as a present. Hope it helps her because I don't think it is helping me. What can I say, I love her and her happiness is what I want her to have, with me or without! Check please!

Men are people are they are not really complicated. Well, I can say that because I grew up surrounded by guys and I can relate better with guys than girls. That's how I had always avoided wrong guys from the very start; before the start of the very first date.

I don't like this book
This book is totally stupid. Hey, they are treating men like they were from another planet and/or they were a totally different specie rather than just human beings like us.

Why do guys run away?
seriously, My boyfriend was always self centered. I did all the calling he could not take the time to call me. We were together 8 months he lost his job, flipped out and got mad because I called him like 5 times. He wouldnt return my call. then he broke up with me. Why would you throw away a perfectly good relationship with someone you "LOVE"? Because I was worried about him and called to much? Wouldnt it be more mature to just txt back and say I am fine got ur msg, dont feel like talking today.?? We havent talked in 6 weeks.Is there something in that book about that?
