I Piss Off Girls

It came to my attention today (more than once, actually) that I might have inadvertantly offended a few of my lady friends with the brief and ill advised rant on the dating practices of women in Monday's post. I would first like to preface this apology by making a few lame excuses. You see, I posted that at 3am that night, after I couldn't sleep, and was still more than a little hungover from the previous Sunday. Also, I tend to make broad generalizations, if you notice, its actually one of my 5 areas of expertise listed on your right.

Hence, I would like to revise a few of my statements. First off, the female demographic I was most targeting with these statements was the single, age 26-30 crowd. And my complaints were meant to be targeted towards the authors of said books, whom I feel profit off of people's insecurities, and perpetuate the insecurities at the same time. Also, I didn't actually say that ALL of those books were bullshit. Ok, so maybe I did say that all of those books were bullshit, but as it was pointed out to me today (quite vocally I might add), I haven't actually read ANY of these books, I've merely skimmed a few chapters of one, and subsequently made an assumption.

So as a result of the complaints, I had to back myself into a corner to make everyone happy. I agreed to read one of these "books", and then come to an educated, qualified conclusion. I just hope you are all happy, I can't wait to see the looks from everyone when I'm reading "He's Just Not That Into You" on the train. As if I don't already lose hetero-points on a weekly basis by watching "The O.C."

You were right the first time. The books are all a bunch of crap.

No sane woman has ever read one of those books and honestly had an improved relationship with men that wasn't based on an underhanded thought process.

Don't let the naysayers silence the power of the pen, Mark. Sing it from the rooftops. Sex in the City, Cosmo, and MTV are the ones who owe the world an apology, not you.
