Episode Notes

This week your illustrious hosts Carla and Delia kick off the episode by discussing career transitions (Congrats Carla! And if anyone needs to buy or sell some property, holler at your girl!) and Delia who is googly eyed about this week’s book (and the ENTIRE freaking title), “He’s Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys *The Newly Expanded Edition” by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo.

After going through the correct pronunciation of the author’s names, Delia imparts that ‘twer she the Captain of The World this book would be mandatory reading. The book touches on the pitfalls of dating and step by step goes through the excuses that men offer as to why they aren’t calling or making plans and bottom line, they just aren’t that into you.

As an easy read with a conversational writing style it hit a chord prior books have not. The tone is that of a protective brother or close male friend. And while the info is good (albeit dated, like the answering machine on the cover) the exercises were a little too tongue in cheek and not for anyone seeking a deep examination of their behavior. Delia touches on examining the importance of what one feels they deserve. Spoiler alert, it’s a better plan than a text at 9pm asking what she’s up to for the evening. Carla shares that the way to her heart is a plan. And not the 9pm text variety.

The ladies get into some of the common excuses given by dudes including the busy myth. (And a host of others) At the end of the day, if guys want to pursue, they will pursue. The girls talk about the lure of unavailable men with the exception of the subset of polyamory. Carla and Delia agree, it’s just not their flavor. Your hosts get real about the willful ignoring of excuses/warning signs and getting caught up in relationship potential.

Carla shares a story about a friend who calls bullshit on this book and how it almost destroyed his relationship with his now husband. Proving that there is exceptions to every rule. Sometimes he is that into you but he’s also worked a double shift and is fucking tired.
