Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl-A Woman's Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship

Sherry Argov’s Why Men Love Bitches delivers a unique perspective as to why men are attracted to a strong woman who stands up for herself. With saucy detail on every page, this no-nonsense guide reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a "yes woman" who routinely sacrifices herself. The author provides compelling answers to the tough questions women often ask:

-Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change?

-Why do men take nice girls for granted?

-Why does a man respect a woman when she stands up for herself?

Full of much-needed advice, hilarious real-life relationship scenarios, "she says/he thinks" tables, and the author’s unique "Attraction Principles," Why Men Love Bitches gives you bottom-line answers. It helps you know who you are, stand your ground, and relate to men on a whole new level. Once you’ve discovered the feisty attitude men find so magnetic, you’ll not only increase the romantic chemistry in the relationship-you’ll gain your man’s love and respect with far less effort.

A women's guide to permanently disappointing relationships, 2008-05-14
The problem with this book is that the author has written it from her own perspective - looking at her photo, she is a reasonably attractive woman, who could afford to play the games she suggests in her book. But to any but the extremely attractive, whose beauty may offset an ugly personality for a while, this advice will guarantee either a permanent state of singleness, or unhappy relationships based on manipulation and exploitation. 40 years of feminist misandry has ensured that the western world is well oversupplied with b**ches, who have ruined the chances of normal relationships for countless normal men and women, and the last thing any responsible person should be doing is encouraging the formation of more.

These tactics will chase away the nice guy you may chance to meet, and will guarantee that you end up with the male equivalent of the b**ch, the jerk, as these men are far more likely to put up with what they see as just a difficult personality for physical gratification. And one can't really blame them - books like these make a woman's personality so unlikeable, that there's nothing to like about her anymore but her body. But when that goes too, the b**ch has nothing...

To all the non-b**ches who are reading this, please don't let this ignorant 'advice' destroy just that feminine spirit which most appeals to the non-jerks. I cannot think of a single man I know in a long-term relationship whose partner would qualify as a b**ch. On the other hand, the b**ches I know are the perennial singles, except for a brief period in their 20s when their bodies compensated for their personalities.

A great Investment with fast results!, 2008-05-09
Now when i mean great , i am talking about really great. This book was the best I have ever read in my life. Sherry teaches you the simple things you can do. With every chapter, I tried this and the results were amazing. I lent my friend this and she wants a copy to keep for reference. This book i will definately recommend for single women or even women in a relationship who wants to hold their relationship. Its great. I'll give it 6 stars. Yes thats how great it is. The techniques used are remarkable. It's all about being a bitch. Now being a bitch is not being bad. Its being nice but you are letting them know you have a life, and you are living your life,they have to make time for you not the other way around. Too many times we women change our lives trying to incorporate men into it, we cancel plans just for them. This is a big NO. Do not cancel your plans and abide by their every rules. You cant always be available for them. And thats the trick. Its so simple i never thought that would change mens behaviour but it did. Now i have men calling me and tyring to fit in to my life. How amazing is that! Belive me i think evey woman should have this book.But you wont understand fully what I am telling you until you read this yourself.Go ahead, i encourage you to take the challenge ! and Best of luck!!

What the f%*?, 2008-05-06
Why the author keep using the word "Dumb Fox"? It's quite unnecessary. It ruins the whole structure of the book. She can easily say the smart girl. Yack ...

Unless you're into petty mind games and want your relationship to fail, don't read this book., 2008-05-04
This book is basically a catty manual for women with low self-esteem who don't know how to communicate their wants and needs when in a healthy relationship. It gives advice on how to sneakily manipulate a situation to your advantage, rather than telling you how to best fix it in a manner that both people in a relationship can understand and are okay with.

An example from the book: your boyfriend is too lazy to fix something around the house. The author recommends that you get another man to do it, so that your boyfriend feels threatened enough to do it and jumps to the task. Rather than, say.. telling your boyfriend that you find it disrespectful that he won't help out and asking him again to do it for you, so that way he actually understands why his girlfriend is upset and knows to have more respect in the future.

Yes, the women outlined in this book really are b*tches. They are playing mindgames in order to gain attention from their spouses. Instead of being honest about how they feel, they are being taught that the only way to handle a situation is to pretend you don't care, or to be mean about it, or to ignore it altogether until he crumbles at the knees in confusion, hurt and defeated. That's not okay and it's a recipe for disaster.

Of course, the author makes it look like it's okay to abuse a man's emotions because so what? They're all jerks anyway, right? No. And that's the entire mindset projected in this book. It's practically spilling off the pages.

Men are not mindreaders, and they're not perfect. They need to be told when something is wrong, instead of tricked into fixing it without ever knowing what was wrong or why. Women should not have to be vindictive and passive-aggressive to get their relationships to work/their boyfriends to care about them.

Basically, everything in this book is unhealthy and teaches all the wrong lessons.. a "dreamgirl" is not a b*tch who plays with people's emotions. A "dreamgirl" is a woman who can be honest, peaceful, and open; yet knows how to stand up for herself in the right way - which is with truth and confidence. REAL confidence, not just a display or a fake attempt at "holding their own," whatever that means. Unless you want to end up getting divorced, I'd highly recommend not following any of the "advice" this woman spews.

How to catch and keep a man (seriously), 2008-05-02
Sherry Argov freely admits that she uses the word "bitch" as a tongue-in-cheek way to grab your attention. She describes a bitch as a woman who is confident, independent and self-reliant, traits that men find sexy, attractive and intriguing. Argov portrays "good girls" as available, overly nice, accommodating and needy - characteristics men find off-putting and boring. Had this book been written 20 years ago, it would have been cutting edge, but you've probably heard the core of Argov's advice before (much of it is reminiscent of asking why a man would want a cow if he could get milk for free), from your mother and grandmother. She's just wrapped it in new rhetoric with a cute flair. Although her basic premise - men like independent, confident women with an "edge" - rings true enough, it's barely enough to fill an entire book. Argov disguises this sleight of hand with clever writing, witty one-liners, scattered "attraction principles," humorous stories, relatable examples, large type and a lot of repetition. If you don't find the whole idea a little passé, you'll have a good time. getAbstract recommends that you read this book in snippets whenever you need a chuckle or a shot of self-confidence as you play the catch-and-keep-a-man game. Of course, real women don't play games - as Argov would be the first to tell you.
