I stared blankly at my bookshelf. I was so amazed at the number of books stacked in the little shelf of mine. Then, I wondered, have I really ever finished reading all the books, good enough to give a sound review? I dug hard and long, I took out the books I actually finished reading. The stack was a handful. Good, I have something to write about. Now, the second part, which is the lucky one? After recently having written a review on Sex and the City TV Series, I was thinking, it'll be nice if I write something about a guide on men, just to put the balance into place - an interesting review for guys and an insightful review for women. Men often trouble themselves with thoughts of women. "What does she want?" I heard that on countless occasions. As for women, "Why is he playing games with me?"

A book for women - to answer the above questions. Finally, the truth is revealed.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you, my first review on book, "He's Just Not That Into You" from the writer and consultant of "Sex and the City" - Greg Behrend and Liz Tuccillo. This book is not of a bias view as its opinion comes from the equal side of the gender. You have a He-Say and a She-Say. Here's the caption on the dedication corner, on its first page.

This book is dedicated to all the lovely ladies out there whose stories inspired us to write this book. May we never need to write another one.

Inspired? That's a very nice word to use. Honestly, I bet the writers must be thinking when they wrote the above line, "OMG, there are actually 1,001 excuses men make and women actually believe in them!" From the 1,001 excuses, the writers were very kind, they only listed 11 of them in the book. Probably the remaining 990 for the second, third, fourth edition. I can imagine the caption on the dedication corner again - we never finished the first edition.

I take the liberty to run the table of contents with you on the 11 excuses. Yes, ladies, it's time to face the cold hard truth about the snoring bugger.

1. He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Asking You Out
2. He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Calling You
3. He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Dating You
4. He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Having Sex with You
5. He's Just Not That Into You If He's He's Having Sex with Someone Else
6. He's Just Not That Into You If He Only Wants to See You When He's Drunk
7. He's Just Not That Into You If He's Doesn't Want to Marry You
8. He's Just Not That Into You If He's Breaking Up With You
9. He's Just Not That Into You If He's Disappeared on You
10. He's Just Not That Into You If He's Married (and Other Insane Variations of Being Unavailable)
11. He's Just Not That Into You If He's a Selfish Jerk, a Bully, or a Really Big Freak

As a matter of fact, there is a lot of humor in this book, although some may get very defensive on its contents. There are actual letters from the "lovely ladies". Again, I'm thinking it must be a typo error on the dedication corner, it should have been "lonely ladies". Anyway, as you read the letters and the opinions from Greg and Liz, one cannot deny that every single word is indeed the truth. For instance, I like this best myself - Item 2. He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Calling You.

Most, OK, I rephrase, ALL my girlfriends complain after the first date, "Why Isn't He Calling Me? We had a good time". This drives women crazy, when men don't call. Guess what, "MEN KNOW HOW TO USE THE PHONE!" Simple truth, isn't it? It never hit me and I bet neither did you !

I won't delve any further in the book, as it would spoil the fun and the humor of the entire book. Go get one yourself. Dare not face the truth? Fine by me, ladies, you can sit and pout and live in your own fantasy land but you can't deny the fact that "He's Just Not That Into You".
