A brilliantly witty and entertaining guide to interpreting men from a writer and a consultant of Sex and the City, which has become a publishing sensation in the US. A no-holds-barred decoder of male behaviour, this book isn't just about eliminating the bad apples -- it's also about holding onto the good ones. Content: / This hilarious, playful, but honest explanation of male behaviour from a writer and a consultant of Sex and the City, is designed to stop women wasting their time chasing after men who aren't into them, and help them to move on and find men who really are. / The line, 'He's just not that into you', was developed out of a conversation between Greg Behrendt and his fellow female SATC writers when they asked his advice one day. It became an episode which struck a powerful chord with viewers. / The wisdom of the book can be summed up by the following: men don't want to tell women when they're not interested and women don't want to hear it anyway. / Upfront and forthright, the book explains why the man you're waiting for might not be worth the wait or all your excuses. / The book's positive message: It happens to the most beautiful, funny, interesting and intelligent women - it just means that it's time to say 'Next!'

ReviewsAdult/High School-With a bright, breezy style, the authors highlight a list of actions that men take to demonstrate that they are "just not into you," using "Dear Greg" letters and replies, unscientific polls of men, lists reviewing the key points in each chapter, a comic glossary, and laugh-out-loud workbook assignments. Although this book is meant for the 20-plus career women who have been dating for a while, the empowering message that a woman deserves a man who truly loves her and not one that she must constantly make excuses for can't be learned too early.-Jane S.
