have you seen the film version of it?
it is one of the most painful movies I have ever had the misfortune of sitting through. The whole cast are way too pleased with themselves, and the smuggery made me want to go postal on the two single friends who dragged me to the cinema to see it.
I am afraid I have no answers for your questions though!

Christ no, it looked shit. The book's really good though. It's got just the right tone of sympathy and scathing to make you realise that you're being an idiot if you're doing the things these women are speaking of.

it was actually more shit than it looked
and Drew Barrymore's chin should have been credited as a seperate entity.

My mate made me go and see it.
I poured a load of booze into my bucket of Pepsi and cringed a lot.
She kept looking at me every time one of the characters said anything remotely like something I have ever said in the last ten years. Yeah, let's laugh at the catspinster.
Smug bitch got dumped a few weeks ago and she's agreed to sleep with him but not yet get back with him until she's sure she can trust him again letting him fuck her because she thinks anything's better than nothing.

silly woman
my sister does this sort of thing, then watches chick flicks and wonders why her life isn't like that.

I've never done that crying into my ice-cream wondering why I was single
whereas she hasn't been single since she was about 17. She's incapable.
And is sanctimonious, claiming that she's never been single because despite her intentions, men just pester her and she ends up in relationships.
Yeah, shit ones with men who look like Fabio Capello.

If I ever get tired of being single, I do two things.
Listen to one of my friends moan/go on about their boyfriend, which reminds me why I don't like relationships
And then go out for a wild night of alcohol and pulling randomers to remind me why I love being free.
Works everytime.
