Excuses, Excuses

Written by MaMchunu from the blog Whose clever idea was it...? on 11 Nov 2008
Favourite this post


It is official- WOMEN ARE PATHETIC!!! And when I say women, I mean myself included!

Call me a sour bitch, but I have just finished reading the book "he's just not that into you- the no- excuses truth to understanding guys" by Lizz Tuccillo and Greg Behrendt, and its a blow by blow account of what is there but we dont want to see!

I mean come on, its pathetic how we make excuses for the son of a devils! I sat there laughing, crying, being embarrassed and downright angry about how much time I have wasted on the selfish bastards. Now, Im not trying to give them a big head by bashing woman (Im getting to them) but dammit ladies, we give them way too much power. WTF?

Its actually quite simple yazi, and I can give you a few reasons why you should walk away and will show you why he just not that into you:

1. If he's not asking you out
2. If he's not calling you
3. If he's not dating you
4. If he's not having sex with you
5. If he's having sex with someone else
6. If he only wants to see you when he's drunk
7. If he doesnt want to marry you
8. If he's breaking up with you
9. If he's dissappeared on you
10. If he's married (or otherwise unavailable)
11. If he's a selfish jerk, a bully, or just a downright freak!

If you have experienced any of the above, WALK AWAY!!! Whats the point of you sticking around? Do you really think so little of yourself? Come on, have some self respect and dignity and dont give the son of a gun the satisfaction of knowing that he can screw you over!

I always thought it was a complement when the asshole comes crawling back months later telling me that he misses me and wants to get back together with me, but I had an apiphany- he doesnt miss me, he just couldnt find any better, and when he does, its going to be tickets for me! So, I've put a stop to it! Screw you, if you wanna hate now, dont appreciate later!

And we call ourselves independent! Whats independent about crying your eyes out over the bastard who thinks your a freaking doormat? If you are truly independent, but unfortunately had your heart broken, you should just say the following "I DESERVED BETTER ANYWAY!!"

One thing we need to realise is that the guy who loves us is out there, but we arent going to find him by being hung up about some self centered asshole, ok? If he cant appreciate you, move on! Dont accept his excuses, no matter how convincing they are! Screw the fact that he had a tough childhood, he isnt ready to be commited, he is busy at work, or whatever else he might say, if he loves you (and I mean really loves you) nothing will stand in his way of being with you, not even the fact that his grandmothers neighbours cat on the other side of the Limpopo had to go for a hip replacement and she needed the moral support (a guy told me that once, swear on my baby toes!)

Now, when I say move on, I don't mean go and be Skanky the Homewrecker! I mean, take some time out for yourself to allow the one who was meant for you to find you. I know that its daunting to be alone, but its worth it at the end of the day! There is nothing more disgusting than a woman throwing herself at every Tom, Dick and Jabulani that comes along- and its even worse when she is drunk!

There is a man out there waiting to love you, but being a skank isnt going to help you. You are worth more.

There are 4 types of men- The Bad, The Badder, The Worse and The Evil. They are all bastards, they are just packaged differently! Find him, accept him with his imperfections, but put a big sign across your bigger backside saying:

"Bastards Kiss Here!!"

As women, we want to believe in the greater good, but sometimes, the greatest good that you could possibly go through is being alone. Gain some perspective.

As for the ladies who date ama Triple C and ama BEE, remember this: The front seat of the Q7 is not only occupied by you. The airtime isnt only loaded for you. The credit card is not only used by you. GET YOUR OWN!!!

Having said that, to my boo, I love you as fucked up as you are. If this article offends you, I'll do that thing that you like the way only I know how...

M, this is true but there is too much insult, these people are not that bad, and sometimes they do give the signals that they are really not into us but we tend to ignore them thinking that they will change sometime.

Ok,...  I think many moons ago I also wrote an article about when to walk away from a relationship and how to walk away from a relationship.  And damn,...  did I change my views since I wrote those articles!

The book that you are quoting is just a guide,...  many other variations on that book have been written after that.

My opinion is that every relationship has it own merrits, own individual set of problems, challenges, excitement, passion etc,.... because each one of us is different.  

Books like 'he is just not into you' are trying to standardize relationships and their own unique problems,...  That for me, is not the right way to approach.

<<<Problem: My man is moody tonight

Solution:  Chapter five, paragraph four of the book...>>>

What the hell?  He is not  a damn computer,... he is a human being with a unique personality,...  the reason why I fell in love with him in the first place.  He is not a toy that came with instructions,...

That is my motto.  

I do read these books, just to have a laugh.  Because that is what it should be,...  if I would go into a relationship man, armed with that book, in my view the relationship would be doom from the very fist 'HELLO'!

And before anyone jumps on my case, I'm doing exactly what M asked me to do....refer to the first  paragraph..

On a serious note though, this is sad. I stand to be correceted but most women have bashed men who bought pain to their lives. But there are good men out there. 
Yes, no one is perfect. And we are individuals, which means we all have different tastes, personalities which will lead us to like or admire different things, and have different perspectives abut those particular things....

You just sound like an angry person who does not understand that people are different,  and it is not right to judge people by others'  mistakes. 
Different situations...different people......

Sort out your issues  instead of writing articles about them....articles that on this very diversified and democratic South Africa, people will voice their opinions on, and then you will come back with more bashing....

If you can't stand criticism, remain in the closet...

Maybe bloggers we must try and understand where M is coming from before we judge her. Her anger and insults are really caused by something or someone, if any one can have a heart and try to help another gal in need. M´s anger is cry for help to us bloggers, but no one has noticed that, please people do your best and help another child before its too late. l don´t think anyone can write articles full of anger, hate always.
l might be wrong, but can anyone try and find out what the problem is, l know and believe that she will open up to someone. Just try a friendly approach. l nominate Cande, l think she can do a better job on this one, put the issues aside Cande, please help her.

You're speaking to me right there!

True.

if he loves you (and I mean really loves you) nothing will stand in his way of being with you, not even the fact that his grandmothers neighbours cat on the other side of the Limpopo had to go for a hip replacement and she needed the moral support (a guy told me that once, swear on my baby toes!)

Eish this is so difficult to do man. When you come out of a long-term relationship, there're always feelings of panic.....like what do i do, where do i go, will i ever find someone..i've been out of the dating circuit for so long, what if i meet someone who just wants to play me.....eish taking all those FIRSTS once more is very daunting and if it doesn't frighten you to singledom your whole life, it propels you to all those Tom,Dick& Jabulane situations so fast you don't even know how it happened.

There is a man out there waiting to love you, but being a skank isnt going to help you. You are worth more. 

LOL!!

NOW AS OF THE SUBJECT AT HAND, MINA SHAME I BELIEVE UKUTHI UMUNTU UMUNTU NJE, I DNT KNOW BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SOMEONE HAVING MADE MISTAKES. WITH ME AKUYI NGOKUTHI, 'OH HE'S A MAN WHAT WAS I EXPECTING'.

JUST AS I DISLIKE IT TOO WHEN ONE PAINTS ALL WOMEN BAD, JUST BECAUSE HIS ONLY CAME ACROSS THE BAD ONES. MIND YOU, I'VE BEEN HURT MYSELF. BUT I ALWAYS SAY THAT PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT AND SO I LET THEM MAKE THEIR OWN MISTAKES. EVEN IF KU UKUTHI  SOMEHOW U R EXPERIENCING THAT CHALLENGE FOR THE SECOND TIME. 

BUT U NOW WITH A DIFFERENT PERSON.....I DONT GET IT WHY SOME OF US BASH MEN SO MUCH AND YET BATHANDWA! AND BAYAMITHELWA!

i quote Natashe Bedingfield in my so- no-t for singinging voice:

SINGLE!!!! thats how i wanna be!!
 I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!! i love me so i DONT settle for crap anymore-it takes time and courage to say that but being comfortable with being alone is something we all need to embrace

THE REST IS STILL UNWRITTEN!!!

great article but WSG already mentioned the book is only a guide not a HOW TO BE HAPPY manual.

@Shuga Babe:  I think it is a typo,...  I'f I remember correctly (I read the book way way back in 2006 or something...)  they, Lizz Tuccillo and Greg Behrendt, argued that if he is having sex with someone else, he is not that into you.

Hi guys. I see we're back to this AGAIN.

I agree with what's been said but there are good men out there. Lets stop focusing on the negatives all the time and look at hte good in our men and embrace that.

A man want to feel appreciated for his small efforts, only if he feels that will he try to do more for you. Women take the blame for teaching the men in your lives to treat you they way they do know.
We teach people how to behave around us and that results in a certain behavior.
I'm gonna be posting my article soon. We can forget the anger in this article and carry on the same note as yesterday.

M, I really do not think that there's something wrong with the article. I love yur style of writting. Most people are offended because the shoe fits them.

All your articles are giving me an insight of how women in general think about us guys and it gives me tips on how to be a better man.

Keep it up girl
