As I see it...

I appreciate...my wonderful husband, my loving cats, my pretty stable life, courtesy, generosity, kindness, serenity, Manolo Blahnik, Neiman Marcus, M.A.C. cosmetics, our freedom, wisdom, gratitude, learning, teaching. I don't appreciate...bad-ass kids being raised by bad-ass parents, people who don't learn from their mistakes, bad odor, cheap clothes, bad tippers, women who think dick is the answer to all questions, bad designer imitations.

He's Just Not That Into You

Greg Behrendt, a former writer for "Sex in the City", was on Oprah a few weeks ago to promote his new book, He's Just Not That Into You. Looks like a really good book and on my list of books to read definitely.

Anyway, Greg says that men are really not that subtle when it comes to telling women how they really feel. He basically says that men communicate so much more by their actions rather than words. For instance:

1. He doesn't call when he says he's going to call: The bottom line is that when a man is interested in you, he will find the time to call you. There is 24-hours in a day. If he can't find at least 2 minutes to call, then baby, he's just not that into you.

2. "I'm not ready to commit": If a man is in love with you, he'd want to spend his life with you. He'll never want to let you go. He'll be afraid of losing you to someone else and so he'd want to step up to the plate.

Women, stop short-changing yourselves! Know that you are special. Know that you deserve more, and start acting like it. I get so frustrated when women continually put themselves in situations that allow men to take advantage of them. And then they turn around, all hurt and confused by the situation, and left with nothing to do but wallow in their sorrow. Why do you keep taking shyt from men? Value yourselves, and maybe then these men will value you.

I've been dating a guy off and on for almost 3 years. He's intelligent and special, but many times, unavailable. I haven't read "He's Just Not That Into You", but from what I've heard about it, I can definitely conclude that this guy is NOT into me. Sometimes we take ourselves through situations for the pure 'fun' of it. I know that I've GOT to read this book and start dating the numerous fellas ringing my phone and banging at my door. It's hard sometimes when you really want someone, but the bottom line is you GOTTA LUV U 1st! Hey you only live one time!
