He's Just not that into you-_-_-Critique!

This book was very successful in explaining the difficulties of men in different situations. It gave me a new insight to different relationship problems and how to deal with them if i ever came a crossed a situation like one in the book. The author made the topic/subject understandable from the very beginning. After reading the first page, I knew this book was going to explain relationship problems to me.
Something that I don’t think worked very well was the fact at this book only gave a woman's point of view. It would have been a little more interesting if it showed both perspectives of a relationship. It takes two to tango. It takes two to make things work, so if i heard his side of the story, it would have made things more clear. It would have been interesting to hear what men have to say about women.
The sociology in this book was realistic. It gave great insight to the norms of relationships, and breaking the norms in some of the stories shared. One letter i thought was particularly funny was: Dear Greg, i have been living with my boyfriend for a year. I recently found out that about a month ago he slept with someone he worked with, twice. (The girl told me at a party!) I confronted my boyfriend and he confessed. I packed my things and moved to a friend's. He's now calling me constantly, beginning me to give him a second chance. He says he doesn’t know why he did it, but he promises he'll never do it again. he really feels bad about it. What should i do? From Fiona. Greg reply sarcastically, dear a month ago, Let's see. He slept with someone else while he was living with you, and you only found out because the girl told you about it. Sounds like a winner. When's the wedding? In my book, lying, cheating, hiding is the exact opposite of the behavior of a man who's really into you. These stories and letters make the book a very interesting read and an overall great book.
