I had fun reading this. Made me laugh. Made me think how some guys treat women. Some of the quotes and advise were actually good. Everything was numbered. A lot of the stuff was repetitious...just worded differently. I enjoyed reading this.

This book helped me get over a short but rough time in my life and showed me that you have to face reality no matter how you feel. I felt like the authors were speaking directly to me. There were so many things that applied and just a few that didn't. If someone is going through a tough time, I highly recommend reading it.

Reviewer Permalink
I loved this little book and I think it's very useful as a wake-up call on a daily basis. Intellectually the book's thesis that tryint to read between the lines is futile in a dating context is very simple - however since this acvtivity is emotionally fraught one is likely to selectively ignore such sensible advice. I think this rhyme heps as well!
A man who doesn't call
Or simply finds he can't
Is not a man at all
That I would ever want!

(Hide Review...)  Greatest Book For All Women!! A Must Read!!
Reviewer Permalink
As a former private investigator, when I purchased this book, I was a bit curious as to what this book would say. When I read it, and saw just how brutally honest and straight forward Greg was in telling women the TRUTH about everything, I was plesantly surprised and appreciative that a MAN would dare to be that bold and that honest about things. I urge any teenager, woman or man to read this book for any pre-dating, divorce or widowed circumstance if they are thinking of entering the dating world. Greg said things that I myself have been telling clients in domestic cases for years!!

I think Greg offers very good advice in this book. Girls, ditch those losers! You deserve better and Greg will help you see the truth about those obnoxious, careless, what about me guys out there. Read this if you are having doubts about your man or always end up with guys that are losers. Greg sheds light on behavior and what it means.

This book was funny in some ways and serious in others. It certainly makes you think about stuff that is for sure. I bought it just to see what it was about and some of the sayings caught my attention. A great book if you have just broken up in a relationship or thinking of breaking up...it will make you think.

I have really enjoyed reading this book. I read alittle each night especially if I am alittle down at the end of the day or a man has said something that has ticked me off, then I read a few pages and it all makes sense as to why he said what he said! LOL I would recommend this book to every woman that has been through a bad break up or divorce especially DIVORCE!! I love Greg for writing this I could hug him! It is a real pick me up or it is a real wake up call for a woman that could be in the dark as to why men are the way they are or as to why we act like we do with men, it's because He's Just Not That Into You! LOL

A small pocket sized book that basically says if he doesn't call - he's not that into you.

Reviewer Permalink
I purchased this book for my 16 year-old daughter. It gives good, common sense advise about men. It talks about how you are a great person and don't deserve someone who treats you poorly. There are examples of being treated poorly and the excuses that some women use to justify the behavior. One warning though: there are a few "bad words" in there; however, in my case, the good of the content far outweighed the bad words.

Reviewer Permalink
If you haven't read the hardcopy version DO NOT waste your money on this marketing gimmick. Even if you have read the book, DO NOT waste your money on this gimmick. An abridgement is a shortened form of a work that retains the sense and unity of the original. Not so here. It is a series of sound bites randomly plucked from the book. This is a sad attempt to extract additional profit from a popular book. The hardcopy version offers some interesting insights. Stay with that, you'll get much more out of it.

Reviewer Permalink
It's true that this book isn't exactly groundbreaking, there's nothing in here that you didn't already know but putting all the "signs" into one concise book that you can read in an hour or two really makes you think. I'd read it if there's a guy you're not sure about or who always has the best reason in the world for letting you down or not being the kind of guy you want for yourself. Sometimes you just need to hear the truth from someone else - and Behrendt is better than most to tell you.

It's good for a giggle or two aswell, if only at yourself for believing some of the lines people have given you in the past!

Reviewer Permalink
Of all the great books that have really hit home about relationships and being honest with yourself, this is the first book I've felt strongly enough to write a review about. I came across it within two weeks of the end of a relationship that had been fading for four years I'm slow to realize that you can't save someone from himself. I've made a list of about 30 entries that are especially meaningful for my situation so that I can refer to them routinely to get me through this time.

I haven't read a lot of books on men because I didn't think that I'd find one that I could actually USE. A friend recommended this one and I've been recommending it ever since. A lot of what I used to take as being "normal" I've realized is just weak behavior from men who don't really want me around for what I want to be around for! Good riddance to them!!!!! Half of a man or a piece of a man is NOT EVER acceptable, especially after reading and re-reading this book!

If you have already launched yourself into the outer world of dating without any navigation map, do not despair! This book and 2 others by the author, Greg Behrendt, will be all you need to reach your destination! You will laugh, you will cry, and you just may end up married after all! In any case, reading this may bring the clarity that has been so missing in your head & heart! This book is one of the greatest gifts that you can give yourself or to that really messed up best friend of yours!

Those two others that I mentioned:
He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys

(Hide Review...)  Relationship less than ideal ? Break up and run !
Reviewer Permalink
I bought this book because I've been hearing the title tossed about. While stating the obvious dating wisdom, it's not clear for whom this book is for. Is it a "reinflate my ego after the breakup" or a break-up instigator ? Laced with the hackneyed "men are pigs" buzz phrases, this book presents a series of fake letters and "statistics" as real. Email is not an important form of communication ? Has this author never had a good IM or cell-phone message session? That's the modern form for love letters. Perhaps he's just too old to comment on the communication of those currently at breeding age.

Men and women have somehow managed to get married for all of time, but there have always been a percentage of them that never did. Books in the spirit of "He's not into you" helps to increase those numbers.

(Hide Review...)  Sex and the City Wisdom RULES!!!
Reviewer Permalink
Listen up! This is a MAN talking ... and STOP being addicted to the fantasy that any other way than how it happened would have been better! MOVE ON! Moving on doesn't mean that you don't love the person, or that your whole heart isn't for them, or that the relationship didn't mean anything, he isn't the love of your life, etc... Simply put ... if he won't fight for you ... he is a penny stock emotional investment. You were destined to be the loser if you had stayed any longer than you did. If the relationship was going to crash and burn ... hurt sooner rather than later. Life is to be enjoyed as much as possible. STOP wasting time with the wrong person. Just because he is just not that into you doesn't mean you aren't worthy of love.... you are loveable to yourself! Be your own best love and romance yourself. Only YOU can be 100% into YOU!

(Hide Review...)  You Need to Know When to Hold 'em and When to Fold 'em
Reviewer Permalink
It seems like everywhere you turn the phrase "He's just not that into you" is being thrown around. And for good reason! The ladies are finally done waiting by the phone - hey, why sit at home for the phone to ring when it's so obvious that he's just not into you enough to be calling?

Seriously though, "He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys" really helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel in a recent break up. Reading through this book made some things really clear in my mind and somehow made things seem not so bad.

Since then, I've given this book to a friend who was going through the break up stage. She was, you know, sitting around waiting for the phone to ring (it was never going to). I'm not saying she was thrilled to get the book (who wants to admit he's just not into them?), but when she actually sat down to read it, she was glad I gave it to her.

There's a lot of comfort knowing when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.

Thank you Greg Behrendt!

(Hide Review...)  Garbage
Reviewer Permalink
People -- especially fans of this simplistic tripe -- are going to hate me for saying this, but oh, well. I absolutely despise books like He's Just Not Into You or The Rules. Sure, some ideas in those books applied to the way I conducted my relationships with women -- when I was 16.

People, don't throw your money away seeking enlightenment about relationships from vapid cynics trying to prove how wise/amusing they are and make a buck in the process. These types of books reduce relationships and the people in them to one dimensional caricature, to black-and-white cartoon. They assume all men are alike at their core, further widening the divide between "male" and "female," feeding an antiquated "us" versus "them" mentality and reducing the often complicated, confusing, contradictory motives of the human animal into empty platitudes and trite cliche. They give what most people want -- easy answers to difficult questions.

Sure, sometimes the answers are easy and we just don't want to face them. Sometimes. But usually not. Usually, when it comes to relationships, the steps to the dance are a lot more difficult to learn, let alone master.

Reviewer Permalink
A direct honest eyeopener for women to understanding male behavior. At least for me it was. Recognizing that you set your own standard for how you expect to be treated and hold to that. Expect that he should treat you well and don't wait around if he doesn't. Find someone who is going to treat you well, is going to keep his word, is going to call when he says he is going to call. There is no excuse for bad manners and bad behavior. And only you can decide how much of that you will allow in your life. This book really helped me clarify men's dating behaviors (which looking back should have been obvious, but for some obscure reason it was not) and helped me be more self confident so instead of agonizing over why he was not calling, I knew why. He just wasn't that in to me. And I can live with that. :) Very empowering!

(Hide Review...)  Good but too Harsh
Reviewer Permalink
Its a good pocket-book, but somehow too harsh & cruel for Girls 'in love' with shy, introvert, idealistic kind of guys (who might or might not be in-love with them).

So do use your own brains, instinct, gut feeling, common-sense & do give the guy some 'benefit-of-doubt' & some 'time' (say 1-2 months) to prove his love/genuine interest in YOU.

But overall a good book, so every girl must go through it to be on the 'safer-side'.

I am so sad. As soon as I began leafing through this little book I recognized every single thing I read on every page... because I already read it.

Someone took the original "He's Just Not That Into You" & re-typed it with only 1-2 sentences per page.

Talk about stretching content to make a sale.

(Hide Review...)  This book can save you some heart ache
Reviewer Permalink
Ok, read this book before you go out and start to date. I like this book from the perspective that before you get invested with the guy watch how the treats you. Now once again, do not get invested with a guy until you see how he treats you. This book suggests you deserve someone that will treat you the way you want to be treated. Do not settle for less.
It is a little cold hearted, but I think for the most part this book might save you some anguish. This book almost employs the tough love approach. You can not work from the perspective that you can make someone into the person that you want them to be, but if they do not match your standards move on, immediately.
Once again this book isn't about forming deep and meaningful relationships, but should really be a way to cull through the men in your life, and finding your keepers. Its a quick read, but worthwhile. A good book on relationships and those dynamics is Make Up, Don't Break Up by Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil.
