You made an impression. Leave it at that. Know why? You are great. I do whatever I want! And who wants to go out with Lazy Guy?
I just think you might want to be realistic in how capable you are of changing the primordial impulses that drive all of human nature. Men, for the most part, like to pursue women. We like not knowing if we can catch you. We feel rewarded when we do.
Especially when the chase is a long one. We know there was a sexual revolution. We loved it. We know women are capable of running governments, heading multinational corporations, and raising loving children—sometimes all at the same time. I know. Are you telling us that we have to just sit around and wait? I was brought up to believe that hard work and good planning are the keys to making your dreams come true.
I spent my life making things happen for myself. I worked hard for my career, and was quite aggressive about it. I called people, made appointments, asked for favors. I took action. But now Greg is telling us that in this situation, we are supposed to do absolutely nothing. The guys get to pick. Really, in this day and age, the hardest thing to do for many women, particularly me, is nothing.
We like to scheme, make phone calls, have a plan. That opportunity might not come back again for a long time. But guess what: My way? Has sucked. But for me, those guys end up getting back together with their ex-girlfriend, needing to take some time for themselves, or going out of town for business. Because if the men are asking you out, if the men have to get your attention, then you, in fact, are the one in control.
I asked for her number. My name is Lindsey Adams, and if you want to call me, find my phone number. Do you know how many Lindsey Adams there are in the phone book of a major city? An actor we work with met a girl while he was making a public appearance on an aircraft carrier. He lost track of her in about ten minutes. And yet, because he was so smitten, he somehow managed to track her down in the army, and they are now married. By Leslie, age 29 Greg! I get it. I went to this party and I met this guy.
We started talking immediately by ourselves, off in a corner. He asked if I was single and seemed pleased when I said I was. Whenever we split up to talk to other people, or to get drinks or whatever, he always kept his eye on me.
It was really cool. He never called me! And you know what? When we like someone, we all try to play it cool, but most of us tend to fail, whether male or female. Now of course, the last thing you want is to get involved with a jealous and possessive man. Just no. They want someone on the back burner. Conversation tends to be pretty banal and focused around him, with him expressing no interest in your day or life events. He might even believe that this stuff is true, but if he really liked you then none of that would matter that much.
Most of your interactions occur late at night. And, the sex is pretty centered on his needs, not on yours. Now the international bestseller is re-released to change the lives of a new generation.
This is a hilarious, playful, honest explanation of male behaviour from a writer and a consultant of Sex and the City. Stop wasting your time chasing after men who aren't into you, and find men who are! Greg Behrendt provides the insight you need to move on and find them. This conversation became the seed of an episode which struck a powerful chord with viewers.
Before long, Greg became aware that this simple phrase had the power to change women's lives. Over k copies have been sold across all editions, it has topped bestseller charts internationally, and has been made into a major Hollywood film.
Now repackaged for a new generation with an eyecatching new cover, He's Just Not That Into You is essential armour for the modern woman.
