hes-just-not-that-into-you43242I am all about women empowerment. I will watch everything about strong and independent women who survive through all the pain in their childhoods, romances, and female discrimination. all women in the world need to realize their own strength and understanding their values.

He is not into you is a must when you have uncertainty about whether or not a man you attracted to falls for you. It is based on the wildly popular bestseller from Sex and the City scribes Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, He’s Just Not That Into You tells the stories of a group of interconnected, Baltimore -based twenty- and thirtysomethings as they navigate their various relationships from the shallow end of the dating pool through the deep, murky waters of married life, trying to read the signs of the opposite sex… and hoping to be the exceptions to the “no-exceptions” rule. Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin)a frustated young woman who is desperately waiting for what we call the one. She dates several potential men who ended up never call her back after their first dates. Other woman Beth (Jennifer Aniston) was also uncertain about her relationship with Neil (Ben Affleck) or Jenine (Jennifer Connely) who found out that her marriage is in danger due to the fact that her husband Ben (Bradley Cooper) started to lie and cheated on her with a very seductive woman Anna (Scarlett Johanssen).

Gigi went to a bar where she met Alex the friend of her date Connor who did not call her back when she thought he would. She then started to share her dating experiences with Alex (Justin Long) who tells her all the facts about men that she never knew before. She shares that advises with her co-workers Janine and Beth particularly about the fact that when a man does not call after the first date, it means that he is not interested at all. Beth is the one who is really affected with that advise. She has lived together with Neil for 7 years but it does not seem that Neil wants to marry her and Neil does not see the urge to get married because he has been happy without being married.

This movie will make us understand that when a man is not interested he will not call or even propose. When he does not call the next day, we have to realize that we have to move on and find another man.

Gigi listened to everything what Alex explained till one day she found out that actually Alex showed her different signals than the others. He invited her to his party, he listened to her everythime she called even if he was with other girl, and she thought that he was the one. Later on, she found out that she misunderstood him and Alex did not have any special intention to her and she was really upset that she did not want to contact him again. Beth also left Neil and when she attended her sister’s wedding, all the guests made fun of her that she is still single and unmarried.

This movie is based on real stories of women who often misunderstood about men. Also, this movie tries to help women strengthen themselves to see their values to gain respect from men. It also will make us realize that if a man does not propose, and it is us who pushed them to get married, the result will not be as what we expected and fall for a married man is not recommended at all. Go strong women.
