Basically Men are of the stronger gender,helping me to feel that it really should be the man who pursues (not hunt)~ taking it upon himself to be in "the take charge" position,to protect his new found "prey"" Not to say he should be insistant,but to show he is there to care.... which does not make it his "right to take" his "game"~:boxing: God has put the right person there for you,but to eventually(through course of actions) come across him in your walk,NOT to have to "hunt"~I think you need a license for that~!:laugh:

I've heard a fair amount about this book/movie, but like all things marketed exclusively to women, I refuse to read/watch it. (The world is bad enough without purposefully trying to set genders against one another.) DeeDee raised a good point about girls talking to girls to understand guys.



I don't know about the whole pursuit thing. That has been overpopularized and romanticized and now it's been made into a new set of expectations for men to try to hurdle over. I guess it's the whole having to follow a bunch of rules, mingled with the stereotyping ("all men must act this way") that bothers me. The basic point is true -- if a guy is interested in you, he will go out of his way to spend time with you and will make you a priority -- but everything else on top of that is just 'The Rules' rehashed.



And really, if you're curious, you could just ask the guy! If you get back something besides "yes", then there you go.

I think Sparrow made a really good point. It's not as clear cut as "Me Tarzan, you Jane" :ROFL: I know that's not exactly what Sparrow said, but basically, things have changed a lot over the centuries. Plus not all cultures are the same. Though they are dying out, there are still some matriarchal societies. SilverFire was right on too when adding to this point as far as it is just adding a new set of rules/another hurdle.



One point I want to make though about what DeeDee said, "If you have to ask if a guy is interested (or yourself for that matter) he is not." Maybe you are more perceptive than me, but I'm clueless. Although, to be fair, I'm clueless by choice. I have made a point to purposely never ever assume a guy is into me. I will always automatically assume he is simply interested in talking to me and getting to know me because I am just that cool and fascinating, hahaha jk jk. But unless a guy specifically tells me he likes me as more than a friend, I will never ever assume he does. So if I'm getting mixed signals, I sometimes will ask. I've gotten both yesses and nos. I hate when my guy friends say how confusing girls are. Guys are confusing too...

I read the book. It's garbage. There's no nuance at all. His answer to every situation is "he's not into you". Men are complex and can't be explained with a silly catchphrase.

That's true, but at the same time, I've heard both Christian and non-Christian women come up with excuses when a guy doesn't really like them enough to get into a serious relationship just based off the fact that someone somewhere had their relationship work out in a way that barely ever happens. A lot of them need to hear that the guy just isn't that into them.

Yeah, based on various answers I read here, the conclusion I could take is that, it's never as simple as it is "he's just not that into you". Different cases are caused by different reasons, not at all time it could be generalized as "he's just not that into you". Thanks for the replies, guys =)
