Women Into Book About Why Men Aren't Into Them

Posted on December 7, 2004

The book that promises the inside scoop about men, He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth To Understanding Guys, is a big hit at bookstores. The book began with a meager printing in September of 30,000, but sales have soared to over 1.2 million copies sold. New Line Cinema even has plans to turn the nonfiction book into a major motion picture. New Line Cinema has acquired the rights to the bestselling nonfiction book and has struck a deal with authors Greg Behrendt and Liz Tucillo to adapt the book into a feature screenplay.

The principle behind the book is that if he isn't calling you, asking you out or sleeping with you then he isn't that into you. The problem some critics have with the book is that if the guy really does like the girl and the girl reads him wrong and thinks he is not into her and then dumps him -- possibly after reading the advice in this book.

When asked by CNN why there is no She's Just Not Into You book Behrendt replied, "Sure, we could have written that book. And about eight guys would have bought it." Clearly, he doesn't think men buy lots of dating advice books.
