Be Honest: You're Not That Into Him Either, a review

This was my kind of book. Unlike the previous selection, this book is based on the thought that women are smarter than "He's Just Not That Into You" and have more power and control in relationships. It spoke intellectually, not condescendingly.

He says there are no rules to live by, and that any decision we make is not necessarily wrong, but he does point out the pros and cons of each. He encourages women to dump any "In the Meantime" relationship because it's detracting time from finding someone you really like.

I saw a lot of myself in the chapter, "You're not into him either, but you needed him to be into you."

Some things that really irritated me about the book: every time he spoke about women having casual sex, he ALWAYS qualified it with some lame parenthetical statement like (We all have needs) and he spoke about masturbation like it was something new and trendy learned from Sex and the City along with Cosmopolitans and expensive shoes. "Spend some time with your Jackrabbit." Seriously, does anyone actually own one of those?

But besides that, I'd recommend this book!

I will have to take a gander at the book, sounds interesting. Although I am not sure how I feel about a guy writing the book, but whatever.
