He's Just Not That Into You....a star because of Oprah
- Thread starter Hawkeye
- Start date
Well, just from what I read in the excerpts in the news article, he's wrong on some stuff. On other things where he's right, who friggin cares if women know what I'm thinking or what my motivations are? It doesn't affect me much.
Who cares, anyway? I don't want a woman who reads bull$hit books like that, anyways......
Oh, hold on, I'm married. Never mind.

HAHAHAHAHA! This is hysterical...
Dear Greg,
I have a crush on my gardener. He's been potting the plants on my patio. It was hot, I saw him without his shirt on, he was hot, and now I'm hot for him. I brought out some beers and we talked. I think he wants to ask me out but is afraid, because he is my hired man. In this situation, can't I ask him out?

Dear My Secret Garden,
He's capable of asking you out. Haven't you ever seen a porno? Hope he gets there before the pizza guy. But seriously, if he didn't pick up the vibe after the beer garden, it has nothing to do with you being his big boss lady. Time to stop and smell the bad news: He's just not that into you.

I'm married too, that's who I heard about this crap. My wife watches that pig Oprah and he was on there lining up chics with lines like "You're a super hottie, you don't need to put up with that." and "you allow him to keep you warm like leftovers? You're a mega hottie, screw that." I have some single friends that tell me stories of their "conquests" and I like to laugh when they get caught. Now this guy is ruining my fun.
You should strongly recommend your wife stop watching Oprah....Hawkeye said:

Stop watching Oprah??? I think you have that backwards.
I love these self-help guys/books/speakers/etc.
They're all full of sh*t. They run on the assumption that every single person on the face of the planet can be lumped into same category and basic set of responses. It's rediculous.
It's okay, though. The people who believe the kind of ludicrous crap written in 99% of those books aren't worth dating or getting involved with anyway. People need to think for themselves, not believe some loser who can't get laid, gets pissy about it, and writes a book.

Nice catch!loco-gringo said:
I'd have used rediculous, too.........

I ask her all the time to stop watching but she won't. I guess it's one of those concessions I make to live a "happy" life

At least she doesn't make you watch it.
This dude is an idiot, ha seems to think no man has ever been intimidated or shy in the history of the world. What a dumbass.
No, I meant rediculous, dammitloco-gringo said:
.What's ridiculous, is having a custom title of ball fondler...
I agree: BULL. I mean, under the guise of being "new," this tool has basically reverted to old stereotypes and conservative roles. All men are apparently headstrong, sex-driven and will get what they want because, well, they are men so that's what they do. I mean WTF is this? The Rules?TheInedibleHulk said:
Oh man - The Rules. What a crock that was, just like this lovely addition to "how to make women feel worse about themselves" category at Barnes and Noble.
I think I might write a self-help book. About how to stop watching/reading self-help crap. Too bad that Susan Powder chick already got the "Stop the Insanity" title...oh well.

excellent point. maybe he's bitter.mack said:
Good point. I hadn't even thought of it that way. There is some sort of vague notion of female empowerment in the writing but there is a much stronger sense of "Well, if he doesn't ask you out, he hates you or you are fugly."bigginsis said:

I'd have used 'ri goddamned diculous' I hear that on Howard Stern and it cracks me up...I think it's John Wayne or Kurt Douglas or someone but nonetheless its funny...
"Dear Greg,
I met a really cute guy at a bar this week. He gave me his number and told me to give him a call sometime. I thought that was kind of cool, that he gave me control of the situation like that. I can call him, right?
Lauren
Dear Control Freak,
Did he give you control, or did he just get you to do the heavy lifting? What he just did was a magic trick: It seems like he gave you control, but really he now gets to decide if he wants to go out with you or even return your call. Why don't you take Copperfield's number, roll it in a newspaper, pour milk in it, and make it disappear."
Wow, that really sh!tty... I bet the author is a real prick.
