Why's the forum so quiet lately?
Hey guys, Jackson's worked most of the bugs out of the system caused by the DOS attacks, but nobody's posting! I know we didn't run out of things to say, did we?
Server's back up, and it's safe to come out and play again ;)
Belated (forgotten?) subject
Hey, Smut!
I was gonna make a comment on something I saw on Oprah a little over a month ago (or was it longer than that?). It involved something that occurred on 'Sex in the City", which, by the way, I have NEVER seen a full episode EVER. Anyhoo, on Oprah, the subject was when a woman falls for a guy but he gives her a "polite" brushoff. The phenomenon is called: "He's Just Not Into You". She goes onto interview this guy who readily gives millions of women the so-called signs of when a guy brushes off a woman and I immediately thought to myself: "Where is the fucking show that tells GUYS about the MYRIAD bullshit excuses and mindgames that WOMEN toss at men SOMETIMES for FUN"? I know I was talking to myself at the moment, but I was frustrated at the one-sided issue.
He's Just Not That Into You
Sinanju Master,
That guy on Oprah was pushing his book.
This is from a description on Amazon.com:
"He's Just Not That Into You --based on a popular episode of Sex and the City -- educates otherwise smart women on how to tell when a guy just doesn't like them enough, so they can stop wasting time making excuses for a dead-end relationship. He's Just Not That Into You is provocative, hilarious, and, above all, intoxicatingly liberating. It deserves a place on every woman's night table. It knows you're a beautiful, smart, funny woman who deserves better. The next time you feel the need to start "figuring him out," consider the glorious thought that maybe He's just not that into you. And then set yourself loose to go find the one who is."
I read most of the synopsis and a few reviews. Basically, the book is saying to the female, "Look, if he doesn't call you, doesn't email you, doesn't ask you out on a date, well, maybe he just doesn't want anything to do with you."
And that's the hilarious part! Apparently, even women themselves understand that there is a tremendous need for a book that helps them THINK LOGICALLY when it comes to relationships. (not that there's any hope for that ever happening)
P.S. I have watched Sex in the City on a few occasions (never by choice) and have found that it can at times offer truly incredible insight into the fucked-up female mind. Kind of like watching a car accident........
My 2 cents' worth re: sex in the city
This TV program makes me wonder:
(1) How can women be so damned illogical but such perfect scheme artists at the same time (actually I think the 2nd part of that question is because we men fall for their schemes almost every time).
(2) Ever notice that this show was based on American women? Why not Asians or Latinas, or some other culture? Gives you something to think about, doesn't it?
Oh well, why should it matter; as soon as my financial situation is straightened out I plan to become an expatriate anyway.
P.S. Welcome back Sinanju Master, et al. Nice to hear from everyone again!
