I'm not sure it is meant to be demeaning. I think it would be something someone says to a crying friend who just broke up with their boyfriend. Kind of like, "there are more fish in the sea" and saying "who needs him, you are better off without that loser." 

 

its not mean to be . What i mean is sometims we do things to people wanting to help and really and truly come of as patronising or insulting.

 

Case in point. Im not the best dresser but Im open to dressing tips. Then once with a group of guys one suggested we all get a day to  take me out shopping for clothes. I politely declined but  wanted to tell off ALL OF THEM.

well intended but extremely insuting

Lol it's a humorous book title aimed at single ladies. What's interesting here is everyone is so quick to judge the book by its title...but no one has bothered to make a single comment as to the content of the book...

Why read a book on a person's opinion? How about...

Why not? Can you give me a biblical reason not to? I mean if were not going to read opinion pieces, then I suppose we should throw out devotionals, commentaries, even paraphrases such as the living bible.

I never knew men were like buses. 

Me either; I thought were more like horses; always running as fast as they can.  :P   Especially when they see something like this.....:vacuum:

Is a person's opinion more important or God's word?

I never said it was...I said judging a book by its title, seems awful shallow. No one, to date has shown anywhere where the content of the book is against the word of God.

Don't you think that the content of something is far more important then the cover?

You do know the saying " Don't judge a book by it's cover". It can be deceiving. I have read many books that called out to me by the cover only to have me put it aside because it was not the God honoring book I thought it would be. There have been books that I thought looked very boring and not interesting on the outside to become one of the most treasured books I have ever read....so :noidea:
