9. She is passionate about something other than him

When looking up the book He's Just Not That Into You on amazon (via Modern Age), I noticed under the "customers who bought this item also bought these items" a book titled: Why Men Love Bitches. Please never let my life be so sad that I turn to books like these. Though the former may be a favorite saying of mine (rejection is a dish best served w/a side of defensive reasoning), the latter makes me want to find the author, one Sherry Argov, and stab her in the forehead w/ her high heels. Or at least take the lipstick out of her purse and write mean things on it. Maybe her next book should be titled How to not be yourself so that you can finally find a man who will love you. It might be too long...we should add a colon in there somewhere.

Check out the 10 Reasons Men Love Bitches...here's my favorite:
5. She doesn't let him see her sweat.
She keeps communication from getting messy and avoids communicating when upset. When she clears her head, she is succinct and speaks in a "bottom line" way.
Hmmm...sounds like the way one would handle a child...."Bobby, you know I don't like it when you leave your toys out. Now I've thought about this and the best way to remedy the situation is to withhold sex for a week. End of discussion." What an exciting, passionate relationship!

I guess I just really hate that so many women rely on these books as a means for coping w/ heartache, lonliness, etc. I think they all have to do w/ changing to fit someone else's ideals of how things/people should be. That's why I'm not a fan of therapy, b/c who says I'm not supposed to cry when I get mad? Why is that "wrong"? I digress...maybe I do need to follow #8. She places a high value on herself. But I'll (hopefully) figure this one out on my own, no thanks to you Sherry Argov!

***I'm bored therefore I rant. Just had to put that out there- b/c there's a distinct possibilty this doesn't make much sense.
