Part of me really hates this book. I hate that it basically tells women not to have an active role in their love lives and that we should limit ourselves to the men who persue us. On the other hand, I don't want anyone who doesn't want me and this book really helped me to take note of when I was making excuses for the men in my life. In a sense, this is the ultimate feminist idea. Women have been cleaning up after and making excuses for men since the beginning of time and this book encourages us to stand up and say "I am just not going to do it anymore." It is a nice relief that if I just take care of myself, live the best life I can, and am happy that eventually I will find what I am looking for (or what I am looking for will find me). It takes a lot of faith, but I have finally realized that I would rather be alone than "with" someone who just isn't that into me.
