The Bachelor Says "Don't Be That Girl"

 

Season 8's "The Bachelor" (ABC) Travis Stork (MD) is back. 

 

 

And, thanks to my mom, he is now on my radar again. 

"Oh honey, Dr. Phil had Travis-the-Bachelor on today, and he has written a book".

"Unh hunh."

"The book is called 'Don't Be That Girl', and it talks about reasons women are still single, and what they're doing to sabotage potential relationships".

"Unh hunh.  So, is Travis in a relationship?"

"Oh. No, he's still single."

"Ahhhh.  I see."

I will not openly mock the book, as I haven't read it yet.  And I will probably read it - it has a fun pink cover, with a Hot-Mess-of-a-girl (wearing a violently unflattering ensemble - is that a nightie?  is that purse made out of Barney the Dinosaur?), with clearly diagrammed issues:

 

 

 

And, as I notice there is a female co-author, I think the book might actually have some merit.  No offense meant to Dr. Stork (I really can't say that with a straight face - I know he's an ER doctor, but OBGYN is just screaming for him).

I want the book to be entertaining.  I do. 

I am hoping this will become the righteous successor of one of my favorite books of all time, "He's Just Not That Into You".

 

 

Kids.  You've heard of this book.  But if you haven't read it, you are missing some good fun.  I think EVERYONE should read it.  Even if you're nowhere near a relationship.  Even if you have been married for aeons.  Even if you are a guy.  It is just hilarious.  It also has the added benefit of having been written by Greg Behrendt, who was/is a stand-up comedian, and is FUNNY.

Bachelor Travis?  I dunno.  He's pretty, but let's see if this...

WAIT FOR IT...

Stork

can

deliver.

Once I stop laughing at how truly awful that was, I will solemnly promise not to do puns anymore.  Somtimes.

I feel that this entire industry of "Dudes telling it like it is" is only around because women have overactive imaginations about our interest in relationships. Women could save themselves a lot of trouble by just not reading stuffy Victorian lit about Mr. Darcy, and then y'all wouldn't need to worry about either of these books, or why that guy who talked to you for five minutes circa closing time isn't calling.

But if someone wants to pay me for common sense, I'll take that every time.
