 Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2007 5:31 am Post subject: Question for the guys |
 |
|
I just finished reading that book �He�s just not that into you� it came �highly� recommened from a friend of mine.
Now, although it was quite funny and had a lot of interesting viewpoints, I�m not about to treat it as my bible just yet. Heck if I followed all the pointers in the book, I think I�ll be single forever!
One very important thing it did mention�.Chapter One�. was that Men ALWAYS want to do the asking out. Part of the thrill is the chase. Hence a woman should NEVER go up to a guy and ask him out??? Men just don�t dig it?
How do the guys on here feel about that?

| False. Men like to be flattered as much as women do, and nothing works as well as having the lady make the first move. |

False.
Hell, I wouldn't even mind if a woman ripped off my clothes on the first date. Or even before the first date. |

I'm so sick of women throwing themselves at me.
No, it's mostly BS but I think both men and women want a challenge. If it's always easy it gets boring fast. |

False. Most guys hate to play games.
I, for one, hate it when a girl likes me but doesn't want to tell me so she'll play all sorts of mind games. One minute she's interested, the next minute she's not. All just to get me to ask her out. When all she had to do is say "Hey, do you want to go get a bite to eat sometime?"
Maybe some guys like the thrill of the chase. Most guys I know are tired of games and don't have the patience to play cat and mouse.
And like a previous poster said, guys like to be flattered too. When the guy is always doing the asking out, it makes it seem like the guy is doing all the work. Its nice to be able to just lay back and let the girl do all the work for a change. (Take that however you want) |

Sheesh! Thank God I don't take these books seriously!
I'm gonna poll the other statements he came up with and see what you men have to say...
This is interesting because after every chapter he polls a 100 men and each time he says "100% of the men polled said blah blah blah"
I'm gonna disprove his theories  |

Well, right now I am reading other relationship books that basically say the same thing, and they say that men will SAY they like it when awoman asks them out, speaks to them first, or calls. But, in reality, their actions say otherwise. When you chase a man, even if he initially liked you, he will pull further and further away the more you chase him. Exactly! This is your answer ladies to the reason why the guys you don't like will call you, call you, call you and pester you to death! Since you don't like him, you are NOT chasing him, therefore he is chasing YOU. Whereas, many times when a woman likes a guy, she pesters him until he runs off. I work with a girl who gets called everyday by an annoying guy she doesn't like. If she started doing that, he'd run for the hills, I am sure. I have just had it happen with me and seen it happen with other gals one too many tiimes. I know these books are telling the truth. The truth hurts and women just don't want to hear it. Women make all kinds of excuses, like oh he lost my number, something happened and he's lying in some hospital bed somewhere, he's shy, etc. But, the fact is HE"S JUST NOT INTO YOU!!!!!!!!! Move on and away!!! One of my books even has a chapter where men respond about the book. They all say it's true. One guy said if a woman calls him or asks him out, he will be flattered, but NOT attracted. So, did the others. Ladies, believe what men do and not what they say. Go ahead and chase men and see what happens. They will hurt you. I had one friend whose boyfriend would write her love poems and do all this sweet stuff. When she started doing it, he pulled away and ran for the hills. Don't do it ladies. Don't do it. The man HAS to do the work and EARN you. You are special ladies and you are a prize. Have some pride in yourself and don't chase men! |

yeah right. The thrill of the chase is over as soon as the girl shows this much interest. You know it and I know it. |

And all it will ever be is sex, nothing more. You are not fooling me! Sure some women actually end up marrying a guy they slept with so soon. But, what KIND of marriage do they have? I'd say one where the man takes her for granted and doesn't quite fit the picture of wonderfully romantic and attentive. Why??? Thnis woman spoiled him too soon and gave u the goodies too soon, and he will never truly respect or admire her. |
