Hes Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys

How else can I put this other than this book was ridiculously hilarious.

Either Greg Behrendt is a super genius or women have had their minds in cased in rose coloured glass for all of time. Or maybe both.

I can't say this book opened my eyes because I saw the movie first and that is what opened my eyes. This book has just reaffirmed it and provided me with situation to watch out for.

Its also opened my eyes to how crazy some girls are. Or well i think that now. A while ago it was just normal to come up with these excuses. But I guess the whole point is that we shouldn't have to come up with excuses, guys don't come up for excuses for us because we're pretty straight forward.

In the end if a guy wants to be with you he proves it.

Ladies this is totally eye-opening! Read this and you are completely set!

Men! Read this and learn something! ;)

I just loved this book. It taught me a lot, like why my exes broke up with me and all that. I understand now.

As women we spend lots of time dissecting everything that happens around us, we also build our friends up. After reading this I learned that the "building up" may be doing more harm than good. Maybe it is ok to say "if he didn't call; he's just not that into you" - time to more on.

This was a nice, easy, fun and quick read! Great book to read and discuss (over Cosmos) with your friends!

A fun and informative book to read, and not just specifically geared towards women even though the letter-style q&a's have females writing in about males. The end sections of each chapter with what one should actually be looking for, a recap checklist of what should have been learned, and some quizzes are really helpful if not making it obvious to the reader to know when he's just not that into you! Both authors Greg and Liz have a good mix with contributing his and her thoughts, feelings and personal stories. Greg is very blunt and doesn't sugar-coat any of the excuses that are often encountered in dating and relationships and best of all, he does it with humour. Can't wait to see the movie!

I'm sure we all know a few - some of us are just completely lost in the dating world and always seem to find the ones that don't want them back, and they just can't understand why. Give this book to that friend. She needs to hear it, and if she wont listen to friends, maybe this will help. Blunt and honest, with a few laughs along the way.

Just don't go too far down the self-help aisle....this is as far as I'd go....

I LOVED this book. Funny and SO true. I like the clarity. I llike the way the book is set up...it's very easy to read. I read it in 1 night....I could not put it down. It was so good to see a male point of view. Frankly, I don't want to read a book about men written by a woman - a woman cannot get into that headspace. I also liked that the author actually has a happy marriage. Men need more examples like him. The reason men freak out about marriage and so on is because they dont' GET IT....how the right woman would actually ENRICH their life. Wife is NOT a dirty word. I highly recommend this book ...REALLY GREAT !

What a horribly depressing, and discouraging book for women! I've read, and re-read this book as many ladies have suggested, and find it more depressing everytime.

Isn't a good relationship built on understanding, compromise, and trust? This book tells women that they need to be selfish, and not open to accepting their s/o the way they are. You cannot change a person - that's true, but if you reach a point in your relationship where you realize that - part ways. Don't keep on for the sake of keeping on - I guess I've just reguragetated what was said in the book - however - I also believe that if you really meet or have met your soul mate or "perfect being" (for lack of a better word) - then that is a relationship that is truly worth working on to find that common ground in order to have a healthy, happy and loving relationship with that person. Nothing, or No one is a complete write off.

What a huge downer this book is! It made me feel like I will never in my life, ever, find a man who is worthy of me. Its a horrible work and I highly recommend you steer very clear.

This book was a real eye opener. It has helped a lot of my girlfriends see their situations from another perspective. A few of them found it hard to accept at first but has since realized that their needs need to be met too.

This book sounds dumb to most men, but really ladies, it explains ALOT!!! The craziness and insantiy can all come to an end. Every women needs to read this. and keep reading it every month or so... :)

Based on my experience with men and reading this book, I do believe that this book is the truth. All the things about guys not calling, and all the lame excuses that they give is stuff I went through personally. I felt sad after learning the truth why men do these things. I maybe old-fashioned, but I do believe that a guy should always chase after the girl. Even though Greg says all this stuff in the book about men doing these mean things, I believe women can be just as bad too. I have seen good men wind up with women who treat them like crap.
A good person should not blame themselves or make excuses just because their partner acts like an idiot and treats them like garbage.
They deserve to be in a loving and honest relationship.

I love how Greg put on paper what I have thought ever since I saw that episode of Sex and the City where Carries boyfriend Berger tells Miranda Hes just not that into you about a guy she went on a date with. I honestly only recently found out there was an actual book about it. That episode changed my view forever. I also started dating the year of that episode, and noticed that, the guys I wanted werent calling me back, the guy I let get too close physically too soon, didnt want me, but why? I thought guys liked sex? I was too easy.

I just recently broke up with someone, we were together a year and a half, lived together for a lot of it, he broke up with me, I moved out, kept in touch, trying to do the friend thing, but ultimately, it is just not going to work out.

Hes the Water Colored Memories guy. [you know which one im talking about if you have read the book] And I am hanging onto this friendship, but slowing down the process of getting over him. I will only be hurt in the long run because he will start dating other women, and I will get very angry that he hasn't fallen in love with me all over again by just being friends me. WHat this book says is, MOVE ON. Try out someone new, who WANTS to be with you, but dont waste your time sitting, hoping and waiting. If he wanted to be with me, he would do everything in his power to be with me.

I dont think you should have to play games with guys, and that is not what this book is about. If you dont understand it, you will probably give this book a bad rating.

This book is about realizing that we as women should NEVER doubt our self-worth. EVER under any cicumstances.

Every woman has different values, but ultimately, in the end, we are all a lot alike in the way we obsess and over analyze things that really are NOT worth it! Guys are NOT overly complicated beings. We are the complicated ones.

Okay Im starting to ramble I think you get the point, but I am definitely going to check out his other book, and pay attention to whatever this guy Greg has to say in the future. Im considering this book my dating bible.

I had heard nothing about this book until my boss suggest i buy it because she saw what a mess i have made of my love life. I was willing to try anything to get things back on track. I went out and bought it after x-mas as a present to myself. I have never made a better purchase. All of the things that this book says are true. People might think it's a book about playing games but it could not be further from the reality of what the book is meant for. What it does it, it exposes the awful truth and harsh reality that we as women put up with too much crap from men and with their lame excuses and overlook flaws that should not be overlooked no matter how small or meaningless they might seem to be. It makes you realize that you can do better and that you can find a man that has all of the qualities you look for...but you have to do just that..keep looking and don't settle just because you're lonely. I suggest that every woman read this book. Wether you're in a relationship or not, it will guide you to finding that true love. Go out and buy it!! You won't be sorry

I did not like this book. The idea that we wait for the man to do the calling is too old fashioned for me.

Now, I understand the concept that if he does not return the call, there is no need to make excuses or waste time trying to analyse the reasons why he may not have returned the call. If he got the number, and we made it clear we are interested, and he still does not call, then he is not worth the time and effort.

I think the book goes a little too far and does not empower women. However, it is a good book for women who may be spending too much time in making excuses for men's lack of response.

I absolutely loved this book and definitely recommend every girl owning a copy!!

What is written in the book is not a revelation, we all know when a guy isn't treating us that well, the only problem is, when we are in a relationship we turn an eye to these situations because we don't want to believe that He's just not into us !! The great thing about this book is it forces you to open your eyes to the behaviour your guy is displaying and to stop making excuses for him and to realize that your an amazing woman, who deserves so much better. So stop spending your time and on a guy, who isn't willing to spend his time on you (I think that's a quote from the book).

Anyway, it really did have an affect on me and since then I have been in situations where I find myself starting to make excuses for guys and when I do, I remember the book, I read it again, it empowers me and I realize that I can let go of the situation because it's not making me happy!!

So great, I really consider it the Girls Bible!!

I bought this book and read it. I have read other reviews and agree with some of them. I am a female and take more of the male roll in my relationship. The guy I am seeing is insecure. This book implies that all guys are the same and that they know exactly what they want and how to get it. It implies that are outgoing and dont have any insecure issues. Well, in reality that is not true. I dont know what I want so why should I expect my guy too. Thats right I shouldnt. Sometimes it should be in the relationship that you both decide what we want and need. If a girl is interested in a guy she should give him her number but if a guy gives his number to a girl it means that hes not that into you. I dont understand that. Why is it ok for girls to do things but when the guy does the same thing hes not into you???????????

This book is very concise, and very to the point. I am buying it as a birthday gift for my best friend, who is dating the human equivalent of dog crap. It was not as funny as I hoped it would be, but there are a LOT of women who should be reading this. It has a very firm, very clear grasp of how men think and why they function the way they do. I wouldn't buy it in hardcover unless it were on sale, but it would be worth the paperback price.

This is a very good book! When you take out the grey area it IS so simple. If every woman had this type of not -putting -up -with -crap standards men would be a lot better behaved. Women have more control than they think. How you look at things is very important and this book will help you change your perception of what a relationship should be like for both people involved.

I think this book was great! Read it in a day - couldn't put it down. Was one of those books that you laugh out loud with. It isn't about putting men down - it is about opening women's eyes and seeing that we all make excuses for why that guy doesn't call. I have passed the book around to all my single friends and some not-so single friends too. We all got a kick out of this book - and it is the truth. A funny spin on the brutal truth. Highly recommend it to anyone!
